3 Bedroom Cabin in Franklin

Lantern Shores is the perfect lakefront cabin located on George's Pond. If you’re looking to get away, disconnect and get into nature, it has everything you could want for a quiet, peaceful Maine vacation. Its rustic ambiance has all of the modern-day amenities without sacrificing the experience. It is lake life at its best! Whether you like to swim, fish, kayak, paddleboard, or just fall asleep listening to the loons sing and awaken to the sunrise watching eagles and osprey feed on the lake, this is where it's at. This cabin is nestled on George's Pond which is a 380-acre spring-fed lake surrounded by glimpses of Schoodic Mountain. This cabin sleeps 8 (king master bed, 2 twin beds, double bed in the loft, and 2 twin beds in the garage loft). We are minutes to Schoodic Mountain and Schoodic Beach which is a great place to hike and swim or have a picnic on Donnell’s Pond. Schoodic’s summit is flat with 360-degree breathtaking views over Frenchman Bay and Mount Desert Island. The Downeast Sunrise Trail is a revamped railway with miles of trail for biking, hiking, ATV, or walking (see website for more information) just 5 minutes from the cabin. Schoodic Head is 30 minutes towards Winter Harbor and also part of Acadia National Park. There you will find beautiful hikes, a cute harbor town, great ice cream and see some more of beautiful Maine. The cabin is 40 minutes to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Acadia National Park, known as the North Atlantic crown jewel, protects some of the most beautiful and highest rocky coastline. You can hike, mountain bike, shop the island boutiques, dine in Bar Harbor restaurants, go on a whale watch or grab a delicious homemade ice cream cone. You can also play golf at the famous Kebo Valley course. Adventure awaits! On your way home, stop and pick blueberries and make a cobbler or relax on the screen porch. This rare screen porch is sure to relax you and is the perfect place to start the day with a cup of coffee or to take an afternoon nap. We provide kayaks and life vests. There are multiple local bikes, kayaks, and boat rentals available. Acadia is a must-see but George's Pond is where the memories are made!

Summary: We loved our stay at Lantern Shores. It was perfectly cozy and comfortable. Kayaking on George's Pond was a highlight as well as listening to the loon calls from the screened in porch. It's definitely close enough for day trips to Acadia and

Summary: This cabin was a fantastic spot for our family's vacation to Acadia. It's about 50 minutes from the park, but we also spent plenty of time at the cabin enjoying the beautiful George's Pond. The Kayaks and fire pit were nice, and the back porch was a fantastic spot to enjoy any time of day.

Summary: Property is as pictured. Very well-kept and comfortably furnished cottage. Kitchen and bath look recently remodeled. Access to lake from dock or shore. Nice antique working wood stove kept it cozy on cooler evenings. There is also a wall mounted heater which works well. Bed in main bedroom is comfortable, did not use other bedrooms so can’t comment on that. Owner is responsive to questions and very helpful. Used the gas grill which worked well. Easy drive to Mt. Desert Island, also several good nearby hikes. Would definitely return.

Summary: The cottage ‘Lantern Shores’ worked beautifully for us! We had 2 couples over the first few days and the last half of the week we had all to ourselves. We practically lived on this comfortable screened porch, right on the waters edge, while relaxing and listening to the loons. We kayaked daily, and found the lake to be surprisingly quiet and peaceful for the last week before Labor Day. The cottage and guest house were comfortable and NICELY appointed. The scent of pine paneling brought back memories of the perfect Maine camp from summers past. Schoodic Penninsula was a breeze to get to, and after Hurricane Franklin, the crashing waves were exhilarating at a safe distance. Danielle was a delight and made communication easy. She helped us arrange 2 Maine blueberry pies baked and delivered after arrival by her neighbor. An amazing way to begin our memorable week in Maine. We highly recommend treating yourselves to Lantern Shores on George’s Pond!

Summary: My family had a great week on the lake. The cabin is just perfect! Danielle is very responsive and gave us lots of suggestions on where to eat and things to do. The lake is absolutely beautiful! It was nice to come back to after venturing off each day. My teens loved the rock with diving board. We got a lot of use out of the kayaks and bonfire. Loved hearing the loons every day and stargazing at night. The location is close to plenty of activities to keep you busy. Make sure you order a pie from Amy at Flour Power Bakery. She brings it right to you and they are delicious. My kids loved it so much I ordered 2 of them!

Summary: If you enjoy quiet serene Maine mornings with loons singing on a lake, this is the cabin for you! Screened porch with full water view and all the lovely sounds that accompany. The cabin has all the comfort amenities you need to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of busy life. My husband and I cooked many meals in the cozy kitchen, relaxed on the porch morning and evening, and sat around the fire after a long day of exploring Acadia and Schoodic. Thank you, Danielle for sharing your family’s cabin.

Summary: The property was even more beautiful in person than the pictures. Gorgeous fall foliage on the trees, haunting loons on the beautiful lake (pond), and a short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia made this a wonderful getaway week. Beautifully and comfortably furnished, the porch was spectacular, and mornings on the dock were very peaceful. I would absolutely love to come back to this location again, preferably in warmer weather so we could enjoy swimming and kayaking.
