Brand new hot tub arrived May 2024 along with a covered deck with string lights to enjoy the views of the water and warm up after a day exploring. Enjoy your complimentary morning coffee or tea watching the sunrise in rocking chairs on the deck and end the day with a smoke-free bonfire in the Solo Stove relaxing in Adirondack chairs. Don’t forget ingredients to make s’mores as you can find marshmallow roasting sticks in the kitchen.

There is a gas grill and outdoor table that seats six surrounded by string lights that set the mood and turn the deck and outdoor seating area into a cozy entertaining space.

-Kitchen and Dining Room-
The kitchen comes fully equipped with all standard appliances, a Keurig with a coffee pot, electric kettle, french press, and more. The dining room is accented with a modern electric fireplace and table that seats six.

-Living Room-
The living room has a top of the line electric pellet stove for added warmth in the winter months and cold nights. There is also a brand new mini split with air conditioning and heating. The living room has a 55” Smart Roku TV that allows for unlimited streaming capability. You have the ability to log into your streaming services in "guest mode" that will automatically log you out of on the date of your departure. There is no cable TV.

Cell phone service can be spotty in the area, but the house is equipped with high speed 300mbps WiFi.

This is our favorite place to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, as the room is filled with natural light as the sun rises.

There are decks of cards, board games, books, and two yoga mats for your enjoyment. We ask that you leave them at the property when you check-out for the next guests.

This property was outstanding. The view from the back deck makes you feel like you're the only people for miles. Watching the changes from low tide to high is fascinating. We had a great time with the kayaks and paddle boards (only possible at higher tide levels - delayed almost 2 hours from ocean tide charts), and my kids loved the loft. Highly recommend visiting the nearby Tidal Falls Preserve at different tide levels. Communication with the host was phenomenal. We truly enjoyed this stay!

This home was a real gem! As soon we arrived, we knew how lucky we were to have picked this house. The grounds had quiet, peaceful, natural beauty. The view of the serene lake was enjoyed from the hot tub, the fire pit, the deck and inside the house. It was the perfect resting place to come back to after spending our days exploring Acadia, Schoodic Point and Bar Harbor. Our family of 3 found the house to be spacious, clean and well-stocked. Lastly, Sydney always replied quickly to any questions I had. We were so happy with our vacation in this house!

We really enjoyed the house. It was exactly as it appears in the pictures. The hosts were very organized and friendly. The house is about 15 minutes to a good sized town and 30 minutes to Acadia with the traffic. The stay itself was effortless.

We had a beautiful stay with our family!! Clean fresh bedding, towels and stocked with basic items like shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Paddle boards and kayaks were enjoyed by our family during the high tide times, usually in the afternoon, and the house came equipped with life jackets and paddles. We also really loved being able to use the hot tub at night and watch wildlife. My wife loved the Sunrise Trail for running, but would be great for walking and biking as well! The access point was less than a mile from the house. It was an easy drive into Acadia, but also nice to retreat to the quiet countryside after the full days of hiking to unwind.

This was our first trip to Franklin, we came to visit family. The house was perfect. Sat on a beautiful piece of property over looking a bay. We watched the tide come in each day. The sunrise was gorgeous. The house was very well equipped. Very good communication with the owner, and we had a wonderful time. My only comment would be the beds are very firm, so if you’re not used to that, I’d bring something to cushion the mattress. Other than that, wonderful home to rent.

My husband and I stayed here with another couple while visiting Acadia! We loved our stay here! The property is absolutely beautiful! While it is a little bit of a drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor, we still found it super convenient and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the location. The house was fully stocked with spices, coffee and cooking supplies. I would definitely book here again.

We had a great stay here for our family vacation. The view was beautiful. To access the water to paddle board and/or kayak is limited due to the tide. Ride was about 35 minutes to Acadia but we found the eastern Acadia and explored the Schoodic Peninsula. That was recommended by a local store owner. It was closer to the house.

Excellent property with little extras that make a difference from books to bug spray to sticks for marshmallow roasting. Lovely home and good communication from hosts. We loved our first Maine visit.

The house was clean, comfortable, and accurately portrayed in the listing. The property owner was in timely communication with us when we asked a question. They gave great tips on local and area to do’s which to me is going above and beyond the expectation. We enjoyed our time at the house and loved the outdoor scenery. I had a great big fire lit every night!!

Really enjoyed our 4 nights at this location in late July 2023. Communication with hosts was great. Almost immediate responses to any messages. The property was great - newly refurbished, clean, decently appointed, Wi-Fi. The outdoor space is the superstar. I took coffee every morning on the deck - super peaceful and a million dollar view. A bald eagle landed on the line tree just past the inlet - which was super cool. We did a campfire one night, went out on the water twice. Mosquitos are pretty aggressive in the evening on the lawn - put bug spray on! The high and low tides are completely different - you probably have a window of high tide +/- 2 hours where you can get out in the watercraft. We got to pretty much all of Acadia - from Bass Harbor Headlight to the Schoodic Peninsula. It’s about 35-40 minutes to the main visitor center on MDI. It’s not quite 30 to the Schoodic Institute. It is remote, but WalMart is < 20 min away for any needed supplies. It was quite hot the week we were there, so the bedrooms were a little warm. There was a window AC unit in the family room. To be fair, this is probably usually not an issue. It looks well appointed for colder months with a wood burning pellet stove and an electric fireplace. I would absolutely consider returning here if I vacationed in this part of the country often.

The house is well appointed in a quiet bay in Franklin. Nice views and very quiet. The area was very tranquil. The location of the property is a longer drive to Bar Harbor than anticipated or indicated in listing.. Access to kayaks was available but the bay was shallow and it would be a struggle putting in even during high tide.

This is a beautiful, quiet, peaceful and secluded place. It has a large back porch overlooking a picturesque tidal bay. We saw deer every morning and evening. A great place to watch birds including, eagles and hawks to name a few. A great place to relax. The house was extremely clean I and well equipped. The communications from the owner were excellent and transparent. It’s a great place to experience the “real” Maine. Less than a 25 minute drive to Schoodic Peninsula - Arcadia National Park. We would definitely return for another visit.

We were a group of two couples who were planning to visit Acadia for the weekend. This home advertised 30 minutes from Acadia and access to a lake kayaks SUP boards etc. and was the perfect home for our group. Sydney and Andrew were extremely communicative, helpful and their home is immaculately clean and the modern amenities, extremely comfortable beds, and included amenities allowed us to have a wonderful weekend. My only feedback is that the listing said 30 minutes from acadia and it was closer to 37-42 minutes. Not the biggest difference but it definitely changed our plans for coming and going to and from the house during our weekend as we thought things would be a little closer. The view of the lake was exceptional from the first floor, as were the bonfire pit, kayaks and SUP boards. I wish we had better weather to actually go on the lake but I would definitely keep this home in mind for my next weekend getaway

The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The house has been renovated wonderfully and communicating with the host was easy and fast! There was an early bloom of ticks in the area so we had to check the dogs and ourselves every time we came back in. The only other drawback is it would get quite warm in the main room during the heat of the day with just the fans running, there was no AC during our stay. We couldn't leave the doors open for a breeze because of our dogs. It always cooled down significantly at night.
