Overall the A-Frame was beautiful and I would stay again! A few things I wish I knew before booking or were more clear at time of booking: 1. there are 0 curtains on the windows or doors, and there are adjacent homes on either side. It's nice to have the peace of mind that comes with closing the curtains at night, so it made our stay a little uncomfortable. 2. The back sliding door to the lake does NOT lock - there is a piece of wood to "jamb" in the track, however, it's not cut to size and you can easily open it from either side - (we tested it). Not sure what the property owner was thinking here - but this also made the stay uncomfortable with the knowledge that at any point someone could easily come in. It would be great if the owner provided the key to actually lock it. 3. There is no drinking water, only pond water to shower and clean with. You must bring your own water to use to brush your teeth, etc. This didn't bother me, but I wasn't aware when I first booked this stay until my partner read the fine print after the booking was confirmed. Two gallons of spring water should be enough for 1 week's stay - not including any water bottles for drinking. Lastly, 4. There is no heat in the winter, only plug-in heaters. This also didn't bother me, but it should be noted for those considering booking here as this info wasn't clear to me in the Vrbo listing. I stayed here early October, and it was cold, but not bad when you layer up and turn on the heater.

Not too far from acadia and bar harbor, in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood

The cabin was remote but not difficult to find. It was on Beautiful Lake George. It was pretty close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The cabin was clean and cozy. We enjoyed our stay. The loons called frequently which was our reason to stay by the lake. Jim was very nice. He helped us out when we need anything. No TV but who needs one when you are in the wilderness.

Jim was a great host and communicator during the booking process. The house was very private, well-stocked, and directly next to the water for swimming and other activities. The only slight negative is the location is a bit far if you plan to do multiple Acadia visits like us.

The cabin was in a very pretty area and fairly convenient distance to either part of Acadia national park (45 min). Everything was clean and ready for us to use and the host was helpful and friendly. We were disappointed to find out after we had booked in the welcome information that the cabin had no potable water and that we needed to buy and bring water for cooking and drinking. The host provided one gallon jug, but we were hiking in Acadia national park and for the price it would have been good to know this beforehand as we may not have booked the property. For the cost of the rental it was disappointing to have this logistical issue, as we underestimated our needs and had to purchase additional water along the way. Also the cabin is quite close to another property. On the Saturday of our stay we were awoken early in the morning (around 6/630 AM) to a work crew removing old shingles on the next door property, cursing and talking loudly enough for every part of their conversation to be heard within our cabin. We were hoping for a quiet getaway prior to having our first child and this, though out of the control of the host, was a disappointing disruption to our vacation. Overall, although it is a cute cabin, the amenities and comfort of the furniture put it a little bit more in the rustic category than we expected with the price point.

This cabin was exactly as described. It was so close to water you could almost touch it from the sliding door. The host was amazing and helpful. It was a great place to view Maine for the first time.

Lovely and rustic lakeside cabin. Easy to get to local beauty spots and a beauty spot in its own right. Check process was smooth and host communication was prompt and considerate. Definitely would stay again!

We rented the cabin for a week and it was perfect for us. It's right on George's Pond. The scenery is spectacular. The cabin doesn't have a TV, which was very nice because we had to interact with each other. The cabin has everything else - comfy beds, full kitchen and bathroom, etc. The cabin is also located far enough away from touresty areas to be super peaceful, but close enough to drive to easily.

Loved the tranquility of Georges Pond along with the roomy kitchen/living space, well-equipped kitchen, nice deck and great outdoor furniture and fire pit! Our family really enjoyed our time there and at a reasonable price! Only negative is the 45 min drive to ANP.

Pros: Beautiful setting on the lake. Quiet area. New dock provides easy water access for complimentary kayaks. Two housing units provides privacy and flexibility. About 50 minutes to Bar Harbor and an hour to inside Acadia main attractions. Be sure to check out Schoodic Point which is closer, less crowded and spectacular. Cons: One bath room per house. No air conditioning. Heat is either small plug-in electric space heater or wood burning (which we did not try). Cell service worked for us, but is spotty. Dirt access road is rutty, so bring an appropriate vehicle. Enjoyed our stay. Would recommend.

We had a great time here! The lake, waterfront location, fire pit, loons at night, all made for a great experience! It was an hours' drive from the Hulls Cove entrance to Acadia, and Bar Harbor, so we made sure to plan ahead for activities in that region. What a beautiful area! We especially enjoyed exploring the Schoodic peninsula. The cabin was equipped with lots of chairs and comfortable beds, as well as kitchen equipment. We would definitely recommend this place to others looking to stay in the area!

Perfect place to unwind and relax. We loved waking up every morning and seeing the sunrise over the lake right from the big open living room windows. Spent multiple evenings making a fire in the backyard fire pit while the sunset on the lake. The kayaks were also a great addition! Cabin was located around an hour from Acadia/ Bar Harbor. Would definitely love to stay again!

Our stay here was fantastic. It was close enough to Acadia to spend 3 days there and then also had plenty of time to jus trelax and enjoy the lake. The boats/kayaks are a big plus for getting out on the water and we had a great stay overall!

We had a great time at George’s Pond! Sitting on the deck, enjoying the views, swimming, going out on the canoe and kayaks. Just a wonderful time overall!

Stay in Franklin - One bedroom was missing a third twin bed, which was not a problem for us but could have been. It would be nice to have queen beds in the other two bedrooms, but all in all the room and the value was very good. The lake is awesome, the property is very nice and there are lots of supplies and chairs and everything you need to enjoy the area. We are thinking about coming back To this property if we come back to the area.
