About this property
2 beautifully designed, off-the-grid homes with amazing lakefront views & access
- Complete with access to the Great Pond, rustic Cottage and beautifully designed Cabin are within walking distance ce from each other. Nestled off-the-grid on 32 sprawling acres, this one-of-a-kind vacation rental is a true oasis. Explore the wooded natural area, enjoy the firepits, or launch the canoe or kayak on the lake for an aquatic adventure. Franklin is minutes away, and Ellsworth is just a bit farther from home. For an incredible day trip, visit Acadia National Park or Bar Harbor.
Relax in The Cottage's cozy living area and watch a new movie on the smart TV. The well-equipped kitchen has everything needed to create your favorite dishes. The wraparound deck offers impressive vistas of the surrounding woods and peekaboo lake views. Fire up the gas grill and dine alfresco on the terrace. Gather around the wood-burning firepit. This lakefront property includes the use of a kayak and canoe.
Detailed with vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows, the welcoming living area in The Cabin offers a prime spot to enjoy movie nights. The immaculate kitchen offers a full suite of stainless steel appliances and a kitchen island. The primary suite has an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. There is also an attached screened balcony and an amazing forest-view balcony.
The covered outdoor space has a gas grill and a bistro table. Enjoy evenings by the wood-burning firepit.
Complimentary WiFi and a private washer/dryer are provided for each home.

The best spot!
We loved staying at the Lazy Lumberjack Cabin! It was a great escape from our busy lives and truly the best spot to vacation! The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed and more! We hope to come again with our kids!

Beautiful Cabin!
This is a beautiful cabin! We loved our stay here, the cabin was clean and spacious. The driveway goes up into the woods so there's complete privacy! We enjoyed lounging by the firepit and using the Sauna since the weather was cooler while we stayed. All the furniture is nice and comfortable. There were plenty of amenities, shampoo, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. 5 stars all around!!
