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! ##### Christopher P.

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! ##### Celeste A. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fran M.

Sep 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pretty view 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. ##### Patty K. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate M. Dec 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family trip 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. ##### Kate M. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cody C. Jun 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Well-stocked, clean and peaceful little modern farmhouse gem! 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. ##### Cody C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### P F. Jul 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for access to Acadia, but out of the bustle 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. ##### P F. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie M.

From watching the wildlife with coffee in hand, cooking in the kitchen and on the grill, to relaxing in the hottub and in the living room watching scary movies... everything was incredibly comforting. ![Doing a puzzle on the kitchen counter with my coffee before breakfast](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9efbd01f-905f-4ccc-b7ac-510177130f15-1754659001115.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![A beautiful look at the lake as evening starts to fall](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e883e119-9156-4ae1-8642-ddf3cabad302-1754659000417.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![A helpful guide to hot tub safety!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/380876f6-62b8-49b0-b5c8-593cfb8a9edf-1754659000702.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![A sunny afternoon](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f506cbd3-8e47-4555-9adc-df6add58b8aa-1754659000895.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Anna G.

Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kimberly M. Jul 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Long weekend getaway 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. ##### Kimberly M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard B. Jul 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet, peaceful and secluded 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. ##### Richard B.
