About this cabin rental
The "Point Camp" is a small 16x16 cabin located on the Western shore of Great Pond in Franklin Maine. The camp is perfect for 2 people, but can easily sleep 3-4 with relative comfort. Loft has two twin mattresses, but it can be very warm in the heat of summer. More than 4 would require a tent or camper. Direct access to the Downeast Sunrise Trail. Cabin is ATV friendly. Excellent fishing, canoeing and kayaking. Miles of old logging roads for hiking and walking right outside the door.
This Camp has limited hot/cold water for shower and vanity in shower room. NO electricity, no inside toilet. There are gas lights, a gas wall heater, gas stove and gas refrigerator. A hand pump in the kitchen for non-potable water and a natural spring within 300 yards with excellent drinking water. There is a Porta-Potty behind the camp that is serviced weekly. A small changing area with a shower stall & vanity with drain for washing up. There is limited Hot and Cold water for shower and vanity.
This is located approximately 12 miles from Ellsworth and 30 miles from Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor. At mile 7.5 on the Downeast Sunrise Trail.
We include the use of one canoe and one kayak with paddles and lifevests with the rental. Additional canoes/kayaks can be rented. Use of canoes/kayaks is at guests own risk.

We had a wonderful time! We really only used the cabin to sleep. We were outside enjoying the beauty of Maine especially the great swimming. Our kids loved sleeping in the loft even though it got kind of hot up there. This is the perfect getaway spot if you are hoping to completely unplug!

Directions were a little confusing but the signs were very helpful! Overall an amazing stay with memories we will cherish forever. (My 11 year old niece caught her first big large mouth bass! 5lbs- 20 inches) Hosts have plenty of pots/pans etc for those little things you forget at home. Lots of games and extra blankets for cold nights. Extremely grateful for an unforgettable weekend with family and friends in a beautiful location. Thank you and we will definitely be back!

I stayed 3 nights with my former college roommates and we had a great time. Relatively close to Acadia so we made day trips there every day. The property was very peaceful and maintained, equipped with firewood, kayaks, and a canoe which allowed for a great time. The weather was not ideal however, with a tropical cyclone hitting saturday night into sunday morning which was an unreal experience. We believe the cloud coverage didn’t allow the water for the shower to heat up, so we weren’t able to take warm showers the whole time, not a big deal though. Caught a pickerel and a largemouth bass in the pond. The stars were really nice to view the one night the sky wasn’t cloudy. We’d rate the property 5/5.
5.0
We absolutely loved the property. The cabin had everything we needed, and the location on the lake was breathtaking. I awoke every morning to the sun rising and would just go sit by the lake and watch the sky change. We took the canoe out multiple times, hung a hammock and napped by the water’s edge, and enjoyed many outdoor meals and evening fires. If this place was closer than 15 hours from home we would be staying here as much as possible. Even given the distance, I can’t wait to come back!
5.0
My stay at Point Camp was absolutely stunning. The grounds were well kept and the cabin fit all the needs I could have wanted! I used the property as my housing location for a week of hiking in Acadia. Close to the park and to food/grocery store needs. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

This was exactly what we were looking for in a vacation spot. Solitude so we could enjoy our family time, fishing, hiking, fires and a place where our pups could participate in our vacation. If they could talk, I imagine they want to stay forever!! The cabin was perfect and the spring water was delicious and clear!
Thank you!!
5.0
Our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. If you enjoy the feel of remoteness but still having a town about 20 minutes away, then this is for you! Great place for our dog to run around, canoe on the lake and see the stars at night, and just have fun together. I loved the lack of electricity, helps you just put away electronics and enjoy the gorgeous nature - though they did have a great little solar charger for the phone. I would absolutely return here in the future. Pay attention to the signs while going on the long driveway, and I would recommend arriving in daytime to find it and unpack.
5.0
Beautiful location on Great Pond for a peaceful and private getaway. Tremendous comfort and amenities for an off-the-grid rustic cabin -- propane lights, stove, and refrigerator, water pumped into the cabin, a gas grill, and a spring for fresh drinking water. We could even keep our cell phones charged. We canoed on the pond, swam from the swim float, relaxed by the campfire, and enjoyed the calls of the loons and the beautiful stars at night. This was our second stay at this cabin and was every bit as enjoyable as the first.
5.0
Great off gridding experience in a VERY beautiful part of Maine. Solar powers the shower but it cold like a summer camp shower. You'll have to heat some water to have a warm shower, but five minutes of effort is absolutely worth the spot. Really close to Acadia and has its own cool trails to check out. That's the only thing you're giving up, it's worth it for sure.
The only thing I'd suggest to improve is the check in process, since we put in the address on the GPS and we got to the wrong site too far in. Luckily, we saw the Moseley's on the way in from the sign on their cabin.

Heaven on earth.
This cozy little cabin in the woods is the perfect way to revitalize yourself!! We all get so busy in this crazy world it was so nice to get away. Everything this property has to offer was incredible. The scenery Was Majestic Seeing the eagles was the highlight of the trip Every morning they would come and you would know they were there because you would hear a big splash in the beautiful pond. A trip to Arcadia was wonderful And it was so close We fished in the beautiful pond And floated around in the kayaks. Thank you for the beautiful days we had.

Perfect Getaway
This was one of our favorite places we have ever stayed. The quaintness and easiness in which you can relax here is hard to find these days. Our favorite part was grabbing the canoe for a sunset paddle around the pond. There's nothing I would change about this place. I hope we're able to come back to Maine and enjoy this place for a longer period of time. Thank you!

Our family of 4 had a great time exploring while unplugging. We comped around the pond and upstream to observe wildlife, enjoyed amazing hikes and explored the Maine coast. The cabin is clean and the beds are super comfortable. The kids got a kick out of hand pumping the spring water. We loved our stay!

Awesome
What a fantastic 4 days off grid we spent at Camp Point with our pups. The weather was perfect for us the entire time. Most of our time was spent directly on Big Pond and we did a lot of kayaking.
We were met by Steve who filled us in on the cabin and things to do around the area. It was a short 35 minute trip to Bar Harbor / Acadia National Park.
Thank you so very much Steve & Julie for sharing your cabin with us. We are putting in our own Off Grid Camp in Upstate NY and Camp Point provided us with great ideas & options. We (including the pups) throughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Get Away Cabin
This cabin surpassed all our expectations. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our quiet get away stay. The beautiful location left us breathless from watching the sun rise over the pond up to the stunning star filled nights. Our hosts made everything easily accessible, and we had no difficulty finding this cabin. We even got to see a bear! Canoeing on the pond was a treat! Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer!

My husband and I enjoyed every minute staying here. The absolute perfect spot on the pond. The sunrise was breathtaking. Perfect location to use the Downeast sunrise trail or go into Bar Harbor. The cabin itself was absolutely perfect and the owners have thought of everything to keep their guests comfortable. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is your spot. Would love to come back. Thank you, Thank you!

Almost Hawaii
This was the best little vacation get away. House slept the four of us most comfortably. The fridge, stove top and oven made it almost like home. Both inside and outdoor showers are a great touch. Morning and evening kayaking/canoeing were full of wildlife sighting - osprey, loons, bear, deer, to name a few.
Close to great hiking and beautiful views and an easy drive to Acadia if you can pry yourself away from the relaxation of the camp. Can’t wait to visit again!!

Great Rustic Stay
The property is exactly as listed on Homeaway. While the the cabin is rustic and nestled in the middle of the woods with out electricity or running water the gas lights, heater, oven and refrigerator provided all the modern necessities that we needed. My girlfriend especially enjoyed the water hand pump, sadly we didn't thank about warming the water over the stove until the last day.
We spent most of our time in Acadia which was about a forty minute drive from the cabin. Our biggest regret was not spending more time on the pond and exploring the camps property.

Quiet Cabin
We really liked it, great small features like solar panel for outside LED lights and phone charging. We have some phone signal too. Caught a few fish from the canoe. Mostly pickerel because the water was still too warm. Great location to Acadia and bays.

The perfect Maine experience!
What a wonderful trip. The setting of the cabin is remote, private, and perfect. Steve and Julie have thought and provided everything to make guests comfortable and prepared. My husband and I brought our fishing boat with us and Steve took the time to show us the public boat launch and help us with whatever we needed. We caught bass and chain pickerel right on the pond! Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are just a quick 35 minute drive from camp. If you are considering staying here- please do! You won’t be disappointed.
