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.

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.

I chose this house because it offers proximity to a place I often visited as a child years ago. The lovely beach across the street is now privately owned and access is prohibited. However, this rental house offers access to another beach, which is a short walk behind the house. The beach is rocky & unmaintained, suitable only for walking, and has a set of wooden stairs down to it. The house itself is comfortable and clean; the screened porch is the nicest feature (please fix the screens though). We would definitely stay here again.

We felt like we struck gold with the private beach. This area was so quiet and peaceful. We loved walking the beach, playing in the sand and looking for sea glass and fun rocks. The house is comfortable and clean and the stocked with all the needed amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed the screened in porch. We are already looking to book this property again next year.
