Historic 1940s lakeside cabin on spring-fed pond. Close to Acadia National Park

Lakeside rustic cabin on 365 acre spring fed Georges Pond, Franklin ME. One of the few remaining original camps on the lake. Two bedrooms, kayaks, hiking trails, wildlife, fishing and swimming at your front door. Incredible sunsets! Shared fire pit with spectacular star gazing. Close to Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park, and shopping & restaurants nearby.

Please note:: due to the fact that this cabin is just feet from the water, there is no bathroom in the camp itself. There is a separate building that houses the shower, bathroom sink, toilet, and the washer and dryer. The water is pulled from the lake which is fine for showering, washing dishes etc, but not for drinking or cooking. We will provide 5 gallons of fresh drinking water per week, please plan on bringing bottled water if you need more.

This camp shares a driveway with the camp next door. That camp is currently being used off and on but they have their own separate bathroom facilities for their use.

This place was beautiful. An amazing sunset over the lake greeted us as we arrived late Friday. My daughter, niece and nephew immediately went to the dock on the property and started fishing while I unpacked the car. There is a separate area for a campfire which we relaxed at to make s'mores. The next morning the kids fished and I kayaked before we left for Bar Harbor and Acadia. We made it back to the lake cabin to cook dinner, fish and kayak some more and relax. We had our own bathroom cabin steps from the main cabin with a toilet stall, shower stall and sink. It offered privacy and gave a country home feeling. We left the next morning and it was bittersweet. My gripe to myself was that our stay was too short. I absolutely want to come back to this same place, make more memories and stay longer next time. Very relaxing, homey, quiet and felt private while being surrounded by nature. Barbara thoughtfully left us a package of whoopie pies and really made this cabin feel comfortable for us. We all loved this experience, amenities and it was plenty of space for us. Thank you so much!
