We really appreciated this house! It’s full of character and charm. Quintessential Maine! No gray-washing here! We walked to the granite gallery one morning, cooked fresh lobster on the stove, obsessed over a puzzle... Make a right out of the driveway and you’ll reach a bake stand with delicious made-with-love cookies and biscuits. Great spot to branch out and enjoy all things Maine!

Charming Farmhouse

I couldn’t be happier with my stay at this perfectly charming farmhouse. It slept 6 adults comfortably and had everything we needed and more. The decor was lovely. The house was close to Acadia and Barr Harbor so day trips were easy. We enjoyed this special property so much that we hope to come back.

Holly was an incredible host! She was so communicative and helpful when we had a problem with the hot water. Her house is charming and perfect for a friends trip. It’s very well equipped and has everything you could need. The beds were so comfortable and the decor was great. We loved staying here and would absolutely recommend it!

Perfect Getaway for a Small Group

This was my second time using a rental property on a trip to Maine. Everything was exactly as described. We really enjoyed our stay. Nice comfortable farm house with all the amenities that you would need. You can get to Bar Harbor in about 40 minutes and there are other nice quiet spots also within reach. Highly recommended!

The perfect home away from home

I booked this property for our family of 7 while we visited Acadia. It was exactly as advertised. Clean, comfortable, and full of charm! We had everything we needed. Holly was very helpful with providing information about the area. I felt that it was a great location for exploring all the different parts of Acadia. If you are looking for comfortable home away from home, this is the place for you!

Great Hideaway for all that Acadia offers

Our family spent a weekend in this lovely Franklin home for a family birthday party. The house and grounds are beautiful and the location is quiet - but convenient to all the beauty, hiking, kayaking etc.. offered in the Acadia area, Beds were comfortable, communication with Holly was spot on and everything was as advertised. Looking forward to our next stay at our new home away from home as our daughter, son-in-law and grandaughter also live in Franklin. Thank you Holly!!!

Wonderful Getaway

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was neat and clean and as advertised. There was a lot of charm and character and the remoteness was what we needed to recover from the busy holiday season. Holly was a gracious host who communicated well and offered helpful suggestions for things to do. Our kids have had some disappointing winters recently, so having them spend some time outside in the snow and then come back inside to a warm, cozy home was well worth the 10-hour drive. If we come back to the area we will stay here again.

Two night stay while exploring Acadia

Good location for getting Out to Acadia, but expect a minimum of 30 - 40 minutes to most locations such as Cadillac Mountain, Acadia mountain, etc where we hiked. House was in a quiet neighborhood, enough space for everyone to rest comfortably after a long day of hiking. We really appreciated the insight into the area provided by Holly, particularly the Dunbar store, which was fantastic for everything we needed. Thanks!

Lovely family vacation

We had a great stay at the farmhouse. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Listing details accurate. The host gave very helpful information. Check in was easy. It’s an older place, but well taken care of. A bit of a drive to Mt. Desert Island (40-45 min), but closer to the NE part of the park. We’d. Stay again!

Everything and More

This place was a dream from the moment we booked. Everything went extremely smooth and there were no hiccups along the way. The home is everything and more! Old farmhouse charm with modern amenities! This home is extremely clean, and the decor is wonderful. Plenty of beds for your family and a ton of board games to entertain everyone. Finish off the night with a bonfire and s’mores! The neighbors were friendly and kind and our host Holly was the best!

great winter weekend stay

Wonderful house on a quiet road off the beaten path. Worked well for going to the coast or in to Ellsworth. Fun colorful touches throughout the house with the pans and appliances in the kitchen, nic nacs throughout the house, and generally cheerful sense to the house. Very clean. Warm during the day and night without us changing any settings of the heat. We were 2 couples, so one couple was in single beds, but that worked out fine in our group. Would definitely stay here again!
