Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Barbara
I grew up coming to George’s Pond every summer with my family, and raised my own children on this pond. I loved it so much that I eventually relocated to Franklin from the Philadelphia area full time.
Why they chose this property
The Downeast region of Maine has something for everyone. Where we are located is literally 6 feet away from the lakes edge. There are magnificent sunsets, wild life, swimming and hiking right out the front door. Acadia National Park is a natural wonder not to be missed and only about 35 minutes away ( give/take) Bar Harbor has excellent shopping and restaurants, and there are many boat tours that offer whale watching, and nature cruises Antique stores and small brew pubs are also close by. Several mountain and waterfall trails are within a short driving distance. Natural fun at its best.
What makes this property unique
Our cabin is one of the only surviving original camps on the lake. Built in the 1940s, it retains its rustic charm but still has all the amenities you could want. There is a Full kitchen, WIFI, TV and assorted games. There is a fire pit for toasting marshmallows and telling stories. There are available kayaks, fishing and great sunsets. We are located in George’s Pond Road ( paved) for easy access. Front deck is steps away from the water to enjoy your morning coffee while being greeted by the loons. Where we are on the lake is a gradual walk into the water, with no steep hills or drop off. This place truly is what they mean when they say it’s the way life should be.
