Description of the Bar Harbor vacation home rental

This warm welcoming home is located on George's Pond in Franklin. There are 4 separate bedrooms, upstairs there is a large master bedroom with a king size bed, reading area and cable tv, another bedroom with 2 twin beds and a 3rd bedroom with a queen bed. Down stairs there is a fully equiped kitchen with a breakfast nook, a living room with cable tv/dvd/vhs and dining area,a full bath and another bedroom with a double bed. There is a large wrap around deck facing the lake and another small deck off the kitchen. We have FREE WiFi ( Internet Access ).The house sits on 2 lots so you also have a large yard. There is another cottage on the left but there are trees separating the properties and another one on the right that is empty 51 weeks of the year, so you have plenty of privacy. You have a private beach with a dock, and there is a public beach and boat launch within easy walking distance of the house. You have a wonderful view of the lake and Cadillac "mountain" from the deck, the master bedroom and the down stairs bedroom. Sit on the deck with your first cup of coffe and watch the morning mist rise off the lake, listen to the resident loons call to each other and plan your day. The swimming is fun and fishing great so bring your "toys" and enjoy the lake. We have a canoe that you can use and there is a rental place just a few miles from the cottage where you can rent kayaks and more canoes. In the evening sit by the fire pit and toast marshmelows, have a sing-a-long or just enjoy the peace and quiet. Have young chidren? There is a large yard for them to play in, "woods" (some trees on the property) for them to explore, ducks to feed, fish to catch and beach toys to play with. All this without even leaving the cottage!
There is a phone with free nationwide calling and cable tv.
Please check the availability calendar. I update it every time I make a reservation so it is always current.

Area Information

We are only 20 minutes from Ellsworth and 25 minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park and about 15 to 30 minutes from several picturesque local towns. There are lots of things to do in the area including hiking, biking, fishing, swimming or exploring the local areas. From our cottage you can easily do several days tours. Take a ferry and your bikes to one of our local islands, take a whale watching cruise or go out on a lobster boat and see how they catch lobsters. Head over to Bar Harbor and check out Acadia National Park. Or head downeast and and go to Campbello Island and Roosvelt Cottage, or pack a picnic lunch and explore the local towns. There is a small zoo about 15 minutes from us and several towns have museums that are free or by donation.

You can buy lobsters and cook them right at the cottage or go to one of the local restraunts and let them do the cooking. There is a Thai Restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, a Mexican restaurant and several American restaurants in Ellsworth. There is also a small convience store right in Franklin, with a small restaurant attached to it. They have wonderful breakfast and sandwiches at very reasonable prices.

One of those quiet, beautiful places...

September 9, 2011

Five members of our family from Canada, Idaho, and Maryland met at this clean, quiet cottage on a beautiful lake. Everyone had only positive comments. The cottage has been in the owner's family for many years, and he cares for it lovingly. It has a wonderful views of the lake from a large master bedroom, the dining room and a large deck. The lake was perfect for swimming and we made good use of the available canoe. Using the cottage as a base we visited Acadia Park, Bar Harbor, the Cranberry Islands, and further Down East. This is a good place for a family gathering but could also be a great romantic escape for a couple.

Wonderful cottage! The location was absolutely delightful and the cottage spacious and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the morning light- the peaceful setting, and the wildlife-including loons, eagles, raccoons. A few minor details need work (screen doors that don't slide properly), but the owner seems very attentive.

Best Kept Secret in Maine

July 20, 2009

We spent last week at this home and had a wonderful time! The girls (ages 5, 6,7) went swimming every day and really enjoyed feeding momma and baby ducks (2 loaves of bread in 2 days!. Dave caught a 3# small mouth bass which made his week and I really enjoyed sitting on the deck admiring the view and reading. If you have kids definately check out the Discovery Museum in Bangor (it's awesume!) but skip the Oceanarium in Bar Harbor (boring). We went hiking and canoeing almost daily. Also check out Robertson's Sea Tours, we did the lobster one and everyone had a great time!! The house is big enough that we could spread out and with 2 TV's the girls could watch what they wanted and Dave could catch the news and his games! We played several board games also which is something that I must admit we don't usually do and the girls throughly enjoyed that. Candyland quickly became a nightly game. Enjoyed the books and left a couple to add to your collection. We will definately be back!

Great week

July 19, 2009

Was a great stay. Me and some army buddies did some fishing, pulled some small mouth and others. Getting to the cottage was easy, directions weren't to complex. Lots of space inside and out. The view was beautiful. We had a real good time and will be back next year.

We had a great time, the kids loved swimming in the lake and exploring the "woods". We throughly enjoyed the peace and quiet, and thanks so much for the tip about the lobster boat tour. The kids really enjoyed it and so did we. Actually, I think Dan had more fun that the kids! We will definately be back next year!

What a great location! We had so much fun, Joey caught his first fish off the dock and Cindy learned to swim! Everyone had a great time and the kids still talk about hearing the loons at night and feeding the ducks.
