About this property

Lakefront Cabin near Acadia National Park

Log style cabin right on the shores of beautiful Georges Pond in Franklin Maine. Newly finished sun room interior and upgraded kitchen this year including dishwasher, new microwave and granite countertops. Close to town and shopping in Ellsworth. Easy access via a town paved road. Directly on an ATV access route to ATS and Down East Sunrise Trails. 31 miles to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park with its wonderful hiking/biking trails, whale watches and multiple amenities. Many state maintained hiking and mountain climbing trails off RT 182 within 10 miles of camp. This camp offers 2 kayaks and life jackets for the guests as well as a 16 ft canoe. New dock and deck installed spring of 2021. Georges Pond is one of the most popular fishing destinations in downeast, Maine. Fishing rods and small tackle box are provided for our guests. One mile to a public boat launch. We have designated the power to the camp to be provided by Maine Community Solar Power Grid. All handsoap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner provided by Ginger Lily Farms Botanicals. Newly added bedroom and attached bath with washer and dryer. Enjoy a Bar-B-Que on the back deck or maybe that "must do" lobster bake. Enjoy the evening around the fire pit or hang your feet off the dock. Don't forget to include trips to Acadia National Park and the parks Schoodic section which is one of Maines hidden gems. Hike the many close by trails and mountains. A little fishing would also add to your relaxation. At night listen to the Loons call to one another.

My sister and I were on a "memory" tour from times during our childhood when we were staying in Dover-Foxcroft. Our tour was made even more special by staying in this cabin! It was centrally located to everywhere we wanted to be and a great home base. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Sunsets were spectacular! We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves visiting this part of Maine again!

Perfect location… water view from screened porch. Cleanliness outstanding. Owners immediately went out if their way to bring down a phone charger to replace one forgotten at home… so thoughtful. Loons were omnipresent. Kayaks were fun… lake was calm… really enjoyed them.

Sweetest Couples Cabin

This cabin is the PERFECT place for a couple to escape from everyday life and ACTUALLY RELAX! It provides the seclusion and comfort needed to have the well deserved vacation we all crave. It is close enough to the coast and Acadia Park that you can make day trips, and come home to enjoy each other. It's large enough to bring preteens, butttt... make this destination just for yourselves!! Don't forget to get cheesecake from MoMo's to bring home and enjoy together!

We loved staying at this little cabin! The kitchen is well stocked, the place was mostly clean and the location is absolutely perfect… the lake is beautiful and peaceful! We loved having a canoe to use. There are kayaks too but we enjoyed the canoe. We took it around the island each evening! The cabin could use a good deep clean for the spider webs high and low. I cleared out several. And the mattress does sink into the middle. But overall we would stay again.

Perfect cabin

A perfect cabin on George’s Pond was just the getaway we needed. Very clean and had everything we needed. Close enough to Acadia where we spent many of our days. Communication with the owners was clear, fast, and friendly. Would love to stay here again.

Cute cabin with a fantastic view. It's close to Acadia National Park as well as many hiking trails. We enjoyed watching and listening to the loons and bald eagles while sitting on the deck. We're so glad we chose this cabin!

Nature Bountiful

The host was first rate with communication all through the process and was seamless. The decor of the cabin is just darling!! The nature was spectacular and the water gorgeous! Our first night we saw a swimming bald eagle, and the call of the loons were spectacular every morning! The only recommendations I have is a new bed mattress and kayaks that are in the water when you arrive with updated dated paddles. The kayaks were a bit heavy to put in the water from the rack.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Jun, 2025
The mattress is only 2 years old but we will check it out. My wife is able to put the kayaks on the rack alone but leaving it on the dock like you did was fine. Any kayaks would be as heavy as those and we choose them because they were small. You are the first guest in 2 years not to give us a 5. Very unfortunate.

Great getaway!

Property was as advertised. Stay was pleasant, hosts were great - close by in case of issues - but none to speak of. Cabin getaway was exactly what we needed and the property was beautiful and serene. Cabin was clean and tidy which is a huge deal for my clean freak (in a good way) partner! This place is on our list if we return to Maine!
