Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Franklin

Beautiful place! Great view of the lake and quiet location driving distance to Acadia.

Harmon Homestead was a comfortable 3-bedroom home, with a stream and small bay across the road. The home matched the description, located on a quiet dead-end walkable dirt road. The 4 beds were all very comfortable and extra towels and linens were plentiful. If you're a bird watcher, you'll enjoy seeing the many kinds of water birds and raptors outside the windows facing the stream. We spent most of our time in the dining room, which has a wooden table for meals and game-playing and has the best windows for viewing the birds. Mount Desert Island/Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park is an easy 40-minute drive away. We ate out more often than we had planned, since we wanted to sight-see, but when we ate in, we found the kitchen had plenty of dishes, cookware, and cutlery. Blueberry Hill Ice Cream in Ellsworth is worth going into town for a cold after-dinner treat!

The location of the house was perfect for our visit to Acadia. It was very quiet and serene with beautiful views of the lake. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and the fire pit at night. We highly recommended this hidden little gem.

We stayed at this place for a weekend! Family of 4! Everything was great! Very peaceful surroundings! Quite, private and gorgeous. We enjoyed kayaking, I managed to cut white perch from the ramp, used grill once. Place looks new and welcoming. I wish we had more time to spend at the house. Bar Harbor/Acadia/Sand Beach is less then an hour away, easy access with no traffic. Meghan was very responsive! Our flight was not until 6pm and she allowed for a late check out. Book this place with no doubt, you will not regret. Will comfortably accommodate a family of 5.

Lauren’s cottage was fantastic! Warm and cozy. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The weather was unfortunately chilly and wet during part of our stay and the cottage was perfect to relax.

The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. in the listing. Check In was easy & the host was very responsive when sent a message. The location was peaceful yet close to surrounding Cities. Highly Recommend!

A beautiful house in a beautiful location! Beth was wonderful to deal with and very communicative. She kept in touch with us prior to our trip, and she patiently answered any questions we had during the trip. The views from the patio and living room are fantastic, and the area is very quiet. Both the Park and Bar Harbor are a short drive a way. This is a great place to stay on a trip to Bar Harbor.

A perfect spot just outside of Acadia. Nestled on a private road that is beautiful also! Immaculately clean and very responsive host. My only issues was the beds- for me they were not comfortable but I prefer a firm bed. I definitely would come back here when visiting Acadia again.

Nice place! I had a great time here with my dog. The host gave us instructions when we arrived, and he response very quickly and friendly. Highly recommend

this was the 3rd time our family has stayed,again we had a fantastic time! We chose to return due to the great space, a fabulous indoor pool, great kitchen and an amazing view. Great attention to details, comfortable for large families or groups and peaceful for just 2.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

We got a very rainy week in Maine but still enjoyed the beautiful, comfortable and well stocked house, views, decks and incredible garden. Beautiful restaurants, bookstores and wine and antique shops near by. Hope to return to very soon.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

Aaron's apartment was the perfect place for our group of four - clean, comfortable and in a great location. It had everything we needed, beds were super comfortable, access to the Inn was nice for breakfast and post-hike relaxation in late afternoons. Aaron was a very responsive host. We plan to stay here again next time we come to Bar Harbor.

The place was perfect for our family of four. We felt at home and enjoyed our stay. The hosts were friendly and quick at responding. Everything was as advertised. The location up the hill was amazing and we would happily return for a stay here in the future. Five stars, highly recommend the place.

Spent 2 nights in the wagon and it was just as described and pictured. I appreciated the clean portapotty and the hand washing station. The location near the beach was peaceful and idyllic. Thank you for sharing your little slice of Vacationland, Lily!

great location to get around to other areas of MDI - super easy drive to Bar Harbor and multiple locations around Acadia. very clean house, thanks !

Lovely cabin right on the lake. Very homey vibe Everything you need to cook is in the kitchen. It was a chilly week, so we utilized the wood stove. Only 1 thing to note is that washer/dryer is listed but not on the premises. Overall, great stay.

Spent a relaxing long weekend at the cabin. Idyllic location right on the water with plenty to do outside. We enjoyed making fires, fishing, and exploring in the canoe. Inside, the cabin was thoughtfully decorated and very comfortable. Camden is nearby for a nice dinner or a stroll and shopping downtown. Acadia is also close enough for a day trip. Checkin/checkout was very straightforward, and the host was helpful and quick to answer any questions. Hope to visit again!

My husband & I really enjoyed our stay at this place. It is a modernized unit inside of a really cool old house! Really nice bathroom &clean kitchen! It's in a cute hilly neighborhood down the street from the quaint downtown Ellsworth &only 30 min drive to Bar Harbor & Acadia! Everything was clean & comfortable except the mattress is a bit worn out. The smart TV & comfy couch were great. Riverside Cafe down the st. for amazing breakfast/lattes. We loved the local recommendations hanging by the door. We tried almost all of them! Geddy's in Bar Harbor was our fave for decor, fish tacos and blueberry pie. Ivy Manor Inn for great ambiance/cocktails, McKays Public House for an incredible higher end dinner in a victorian house, Ben&Bills Chocolate Emporium Awesome ice cream,Graffiti Donuts is amazing too! If flying home from Bangor AP, be sure to hit up The Eagles Nest sitting at the rivers edge (only 15 mins from the ap) for Amazing lobster rolls, lobster grilled cheese,& the best fries! A+

This is such a special place! The cabin is beautifully designed and the views are wonderful! David left perfect instructions as to how to live “off grid” and is quick with responses if needed. So much to explore durning any season- from mountains to coast! Hope to return- maybe during blueberry season!!

We loved staying at this lake house. The kayaks were an added bonus that my husband and kids enjoyed. One of the neighbors even gave us a boat ride on the pond to the floating slide and the kids had a blast jumping off of it. The boys caught lots of fish right off shore. It was a great place to stay away from the city on our vacation.
