Location: Franklin, Acadia, Maine, USA (40 minutes to Acadia, Bar Harbor; 25 minutes to airport)
Accommodations: Cabin, 3 Bedrooms + Sleeping Porch, 1 Bath (Sleeps 6-8)
Traditional Maine "Camp." Updated and comfy right on beautiful, pristine George’s Pond. Beautiful surrounding countryside. Private and with a remote feel, yet within minutes you can be hiking beautiful Acadia National Park (two locations), shop multiple Mount Desert Island boutiques, or head to LL Bean outlet 18 minutes away, go whale watching, play golf (famous Kebo Valley in Bar Harbor) or other public courses.
Miles of roads at the end of driveway for mountain biking, or go to the awesome Acadia carriage roads and bike and hike at all levels of difficulty. Multiple bike rentals are available. Kayak rentals (sea and lake). The high speed "Cat," a car ferry to Nova Scotia and Portland is located in nearby Bar Harbor.
Or, of course, you can just sit on the deck and listen to the loons, watch for eagles and ospreys over the lake, fish from the dock, swim, grill some burgers, lie on a float and watch the clouds change shape, or pick local blueberries in season. The best of both worlds awaits!

We wanted to thank you both for the great vacation we enjoyed in your cabin! My husband and I were previous business owners and spent the past few years unable to truly enjoy time off, never mind relax. We not only had a fun and relaxing vacation, but we have added a lake home onto our goal list. The house was perfect for the kids as well. They loved the paddle boating, fishing and swimming. Even the dog had her "sea legs" by the third day. The back roads gave them an adventure ride or two and it just all provided a great family time, which can be difficult with 2 teens and our 10 year old and his friend. Its the first time in a while Ive seen the 15 year old spend so much time with his brother. The location is close enough to the park and other tourist places so you can do things without spending hours driving, but also when you hear the loons at 10 pm you feel like you are far far away. The stars, satellites, and shooting stars brought us out every night and the fireplace warmed us after that. We cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner on the grill which was great. And at the end of the day or on that one rainy afternoon, the tv/cable gave the kids something to do as they brought brought playstation along "just incase". We all slept like babies in the beds and bedding you provided. My husband and I run a little hotter than the kids, but once they snuggled in the were out until late morning. Even Adam (almost 16) slept on the porch, which would be typically unlike him, slept through sunrises right into late morning. So, again thank you very much for a great time.
