Lakefront Home Near Acadia National Park: Dock kayaks paddle boards & swim raft

Located 30 minutes from Mount Desert Island lies a hidden gem known as George’s Pond in Franklin, Maine. George’s Pond is best known for its clean, clear water and picturesque sunsets. The 360 acre pond hosts many types of fish: Trout, Bass, Pickerel & Perch. Along the pond you will find many incredible swimming spots, as well as a large swimming rock (boulder) in the middle of the pond with a diving board.

With a population density of 39 people per square mile, Franklin, Maine is the perfect relaxing, unhurried environment to vacation in while being so close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Carved out by glaciers, Franklin, Maine hosts some of the most beautiful landscapes in Maine; miles of blueberry barons and mountain ranges with lush foliage along the Atlantic coast providing an ideal vacation spot to escape the hustle and bustle.

The House:
George’s Pond House is a 4 season 2br, 2ba modern home with private beach frontage just 25 feet from your door. Custom built in 2007, no details were spared in construction or comfort, and privacy of the 1650 sq foot home. The house comes with a dock, 4 single kayaks, 2 paddle boards, lifejackets, paddles, large propane grill, fire pit, and ample seating for entertaining.
You will find hard wood & tile flooring throughout, accented with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, propane fire place, and high end fixtures. A reverse osmosis system has been installed for crystal clear drinking water. Radiant heated floors on all 3 levels, and instant hot water add to your comfort level. The home has high speed internet, Cable, and phone service. Cell service can be spotty in Franklin.

Kitchen:
The kitchen is spacious for a family of 4. With plenty of storage, whirlpool appliances, coffee maker, dish washer, and views through the sliding door onto the patio, you are sure to fall in love. The patio (off the kitchen) provides seating for 5 with a high table (for 2 or 3) overlooking the pond.

Living Room:
Seating for 5, Samsung UHD 55″ TV with Cable, propane fireplace, large windows overlooking the pond, and led lighting / ceiling fan on dimmer controls. Just off the living room is a full bath, and stairs leading up to the Master bedroom.

Master Bedroom:
The entire second floor is the Master bedroom which hosts an amazing view over the pond. You will find a queen bed, full bathroom, walk in closet with laundry facilities and a large shower with double shower heads. 65" UHD TV and ample storage space provides added comfort. The bedrooms cathedral ceiling has 2 power operated skylights, ceiling fan w/ night light, sleeping loft with 2 twin mattresses, and the wall facing the pond is large windows from floor to ceiling.

2nd Bedroom:
The first floor has been tastefully appointed with tile and custom pine carpentry. You will find a queen sleigh bed, ample closet storage, 42" TV, and private access to the outdoor area just steps from the pond. Led lighting and large windows provide a bright, comfortable space for lounging on the large couch, or an extra play space for the kids.

Outdoor Entertainment Area:
An ideal location for enjoying the ponds sights, sounds, and atmosphere. We provide a large propane BBQ grill, chair swing, chairs, table with umbrella, and a solo smokeless fire pit. Just under the deck you will find lifejackets, kayak and paddle board paddles. This is the ideal place to watch the sunset each night as the loons call out to each other. Almost every night you will see osprey, falcons, eagles, and you can hear fish jump at the edge of dark. Just down a set of steps you will find an aluminum dock with kayaks on a convenient rack. Out on the end of the dock is seating for 3 people and a large area to lay down or have a picnic. The sand / pebble beach area to the right of the dock provides an excellent place to wade, splash, and swim! Quite often a family of ducks will swim through looking for food along the rocky shoreline. Murch Island offers shelter from South winds, and provides excellent fishing grounds.

In closing: George’s Pond House is about as comfortable and charming as it gets. You are only 15 minutes from Ellsworth (grocery stores), 30 minutes from Mount Desert Island, 5 minutes from the nearest (small) grocery store / gas station, but surrounded in all natures beauty along the best side of the pond which receives full sun with incredible sunset views.
This is our second home which is only rented out a few selected weeks - please contact us for details.

Maine vacation

We had a wonderful week on the pond. The house was clean, well cared for, and equipped with all the necessities and materials, as well as kayaks and other great things for being on the water. Very easy check in with good communication. Awesome place for our family of four.

On George's Pond

Had a great time on George's Pond! Paul was a wonderful host, and everything you could possibly need was provided. He was quick to respond to any questions, and even checked in on us to make sure everything was going well. The house was lovely and views spectacular. After spending long days in Acadia Nat'l Park and/or Bar Harbor it was nice to return to such peaceful surroundings. Thanks again, Paul!

We didn’t want to leave!

Family vacation to Maine, 4 adults. The house was very comfortable with a gorgeous waterfront view. We drove from NJ and had everything we needed, but the house was well stocked with the basics to get anyone started, such as k-cups, trash bags, paper towels/toilet paper, hand and bath soap. Linens and towels provided. I had packed beach towels, but I do believe there were beach towels available as well. Beds were all in new condition and very comfortable. Smart tv on each floor with many apps available to login. Wifi in the house was strong. Multiple kayaks on sight and we enjoyed a morning tour of the lake before heading to the park/Bar Harbor.Primary reason for the visit was to visit Acadia National Park. We wanted a waterfront location away from the main tourist locations, but close enough for an easy drive. Georges Pond House was perfect. 30-35 minutes to Bar Harbor, 40-45 minutes to Acadia. Even closer was 15 minutes to Ellsworth which also had a lot of restaurant options. Easy scenic drive. The waterfront view and peaceful surroundings were absolutely worth the drive to Acadia.The owner, Paul, was very welcoming and responsive to my messages prior to checking in, as well as a quick message to let him know we arrived. No other communication was necessary, we had zero issues. Highly recommend this property.

Rest & Relaxation

We enjoyed our stay at the Lakefront Home on George’s Pond. We especially enjoyed kayaking around the lake with the provided kayaks. The Eagle and Loons let us get very close in the kayaks. My husband spent many successful hours fishing in the lake both off the dock and from the kayak. The beds were very comfortable, place very clean, and great double shower heads in the upstairs bathroom. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We found a new favorite restaurant in Bass Harbor called Seafood Ketch. Pirate Mini golf was a favorite family event followed by Udderly Heaven homemade ice cream.

The perfect place for our Acadia visit

We had an amazing stay here at the end of October. The views in the morning and at night were breathtaking. It was so easy to communicate with Paul and the check-in was seamless. We arrived later and all the lights were left on for us - which made it easy to find in a secluded place. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed our six day stay here - we did Acadia by day and then just relaxed at night. If we come back to Acadia, this is our top choice!

Beautiful view

Beautiful view, nice house, comfortable beds. The owner Paul was very responsive. If you want to go into Bar Harbor or Arcadia, the drive is a long way and it takes a good hour to get there from this property. The house doesn’t afford any privacy because of the openness of the lofts area. Also, there are no good restaurants nearby or grocery stores. Cell phone service at this property is very poor for those who like to stay connected. And in the fall, you cannot see the sunset from the dock it’s hidden behind the trees, which is one of the reasons why I rented this place. So if you just want to stay on the lake in the summer, I would recommend this place.

Peaceful Lake House

We enjoyed our stay and wished we’d stayed longer. The setting is outstanding and sunsets over the pond were beautiful every night. The house was well equipped and the host was very responsive and accommodating. The 40 minute drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor was a little longer than we’d prefer, but the location on the lake more than made up for it.

We couldn't have loved this property more. From the start of booking, the property owner remained in contact with any concerns. Upon arrival, our expectations were met with above and beyond scenery. The house itself is the perfect place for a get away from the hustle bustle of the city. The owners made the transition very easy and welcoming. The property sits on a beautiful pond with a deck where i sat in peace and quiet every morning with my coffee and the sounds of nature all around. We could stay here and kayak or fish all day. Or we could drive in to Mount Desert or another town that is only a short drive . The location is perfect. We will definitely be back.

What a Wonderful Stay!

This lakeside rental was one of our highlights on an amazing two-week New England road trip. Based on advice from friends, we booked this home because it was outside busy Bar Harbor and that ended up being perfect for us. After busy morning/early afternoons in Acadia National Park we all looked forward to going back to "the lake house" in Franklin and leaving the chaos behind. George's Pond is clear and beautiful. We watched loons and eagles and many fireside sunsets. Fished and swam off the dock (my son caught a huge bass right off the dock) and kayaked (with the supplied kayaks) all over the lake. The home is spacious, super clean and well stocked. We were able to get to Acadia NP within 40 min and larger grocery stores were about 15 min away from the house. Although there were smaller convenience stores just a few minutes from the house. The owner was responsive (although we didn't need him other than a quick "hello, we've arrived" and there were no fussy departure instructions - just the normal stuff you'd expect. It was an amazing stay in an amazing home and if we are ever in this area again we would not hesitate to stay here again!

This was a wonderful getaway. The house was clean, comfy, and had everything we needed. Comfy beds, nice bathrooms, and great outdoor spaces. The location is perfect - close enough to town and Acadia, but far enough away so we didn't feel like tourists. :) Georges Pond is lovely - friendly neighborhood, pristine water, amazing views. We made good use of the kayaks and paddle boards and swam in the pond every day. The sunsets were spectacular, and I especially loved the quiet solitude of early morning coffee by the water. We soo enjoyed this house and our week on Georges Pond!

Bar harbor trip

Property is as advertised. Everything was beautiful including the lake. Kayaks were fun as was the fishing. Owner had everything you could think of in the house. They also quickly responded to all requests. Area was quiet and relaxing. Would highly recommend it. The only thing to note is there is not a lot of restaurant options close by and the drive to bar harbor was about 45 min. We didn’t mind the drive and preferred to get away but it just means you need to plan ahead for different things. The bar harbor area was beautiful as we went hiking, rock climbing, whale watching and watched the sun rise.
