About this cabin rental

Located on a gorgeous 32-acre property just 8 minutes from Franklin, The Cottage offers a serene waterfront haven. Take the canoe and kayak out on Great Pond. Enjoy alfresco meals on the deck, then gather around the firepit. This one bedroom vacation rental offers a genuine cabin feel with modern upgrades and all the comforts of home. If traveling with a larger group, consider also renting The Cabin -- located about a 10-minute walk away.

After fun-filled days, relax in the comfy living area and watch a new movie on the smart TV. The well-equipped kitchen has everything needed to create your favorite dishes. When it's time to dine, the table seats four. The Cottage has a queen bed in the bedroom and a full-size futon in the living area. The bathroom is configured with a tub/shower combination. A twin bed can be found in the open loft area. The loft is accessed via a steep ladder, safety rails recently added.

The wraparound deck has incredible vistas of the surrounding woods and peekaboo lake views. Make use of the gas grill and enjoy an afternoon cookout. Enjoy starlit nights around the wood-burning firepit. This lakefront property includes the use of a canoe, kayak and paddleboard. The Cottage has a three-story layout with a ramp to the front door. Additional perks include complimentary Wi-Fi and a private washer/dryer.

Nestled on Great Pond, your vacation home offers wonderful seclusion, but is still only an 8-minute drive from Franklin and a 20-minute drive from Ellsworth. For an incredible day trip, pay a visit to Acadia National Park or Bar Harbor.

We had a wonderful stay at cabin.

Absolutely beautiful location. House was wonderful. Only issue is that the porch does not appear to be cleaned as often as the rest of the house and one of the screens in the porch is torn, which allows bugs to get in.

The cottage is a cabin by a lake. The cabin has electricity, a bathroom and a kitchen. Rustic but comfortable. We took the canoe around the lake. Location of the cabin is very quiet. The bathroom is on the main floor so middle of the night trip’s required steps. The bed was soft. That being said we both said we would stay again.

Place was nice; location and outside of the property and the fact that it was on a pond/lake. It was quiet. Had a nice fire pit outside and the dock with the canoe and paddle board were nice. Outside great!Inside,,, not so much….. if you don’t cook or are not concerned about some of the cleanliness issues, then it would be fine. Negatives:….NO coffee maker as the listing said there would be. They had lots of coffee filters but no pot, only a Kuerig maker with no Kuerig pods. They said they would bring one but did not. We bought a pour-over the next time we went to town once we realized they weren’t bringing a pot. The rest of the kitchen supplies were probably from a garage sales, bad ones. ….the floors were dirty especially the rugs… they looked like they had never been washed, almost black in some spots. Rugs should be washed or replaced. I would not walk barefoot in the place. ….Could not use the washing machine since there was rust in the detergent dispenser. Didn’t want to ruin my clothes. ….No AC, which we knew, but the fans that were provided were really dirty, gross, but necessary since it was hot. Overall I would not come back unless they clean up the inside and provide just a few nice pans and a coffee maker. Outside was wonderful, inside not so much.
