Waterfront-Lakeside Living! Close to Acadia+Schoodic Point+Bar Harbor-Pets ok

We invite you to experience this lovely Lakefront home right on 'Georges Pond'.

If you love beautiful, crystal clear lakes, kayaking, swimming and paddle-boarding and being near Acadia National Park, this property is for you!

As an extra bonus, we include 4 (single) kayaks at "no" charge.
(Paddles and lifejackets are included)

Franklin is a special location a little off the beaten path but that makes it so unique as it is very close to Acadia National Park both Bar Harbor and even closer to the magnificent Schoodic Point Acadia which is our not to miss location.

Franklin's namesake is from none other than Benjamin Franklin!

This part of Maine is best known for being blueberry country. It is filled with coastal character and more blueberry fields than you can imagine! Fields of purple-blue in the summer and fiery red in the fall.

Come enjoy "Sweet Fern" Cottage late May - October and experience the seasons in Downeast Maine!

We offer 2 large bedrooms, one with a king size bed with an 'en suite' full bathroom with tub and the second bedroom has 2 new twin beds. An additional full size bathroom too.

A large open floor plan with a updated kitchen with all new appliances. Living and dining room have expansive windows overlooking Georges Pond (We call lakes 'ponds' in Maine).

The views are beautiful and you can watch sunrise and sunset right from the amazing open air porch and deck complete with comfortable new furniture, dining table and grill. You will love living outside overlooking the lake! Enjoy the new fire pit to enjoy especially on a cooler evening.

New private dock right on the lake where you can tie up your kayaks, paddle boards or canoe. Swim, paddle or just have a lazy day overlooking the crystal clear lake with a great book and beverage!

We are very pup friendly as we know Fido is a big part of your family.
We have a nice large fenced in area for them to roam and relax on the grass.
We will allow up to 2 pups with permission. (We have a 'per pet' fee, please inquire)
