About this property

JuneSpringSale! Just slashed daily prices! Stay a week get additional 25%off.

Huge spring sale-No min stay. Cozy,comfy,off beaten path but very close to lots of things—15 min to Ellsworth, Acadia National Park starts at the top of the street and you’re surrounded-it’s all over (it encompasses Mt Desert Island, Bar Harbor & Winter Harbor). It’s about 20 min to Winter Harbor, Schoodic Point, Hancock Point, Lamoine, approx 20-25 min to Mt Desert Island & another 10 min from the beginning of the island- all depending on traffic- to Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain or the visitor center- so many cute places along the coast, tons of cute towns, art, antique shops along route 1...

This is an old house, not a fancy house, but to me & most people a very cozy & magical house.

I want to reiterate that this is our house, it is old, we LOVE it but it’s not perfect in every single way. If you’re looking for perfect please go to the the Ritz Carlton where you can expect perfection & demand a refund if you aren’t getting it.

I’m not striving for perfection here, my goal is a cozy comfy peaceful escape from the world. The windows are old & I don’t want to update them for convenience, I love the old windows, etc. I have a few fans & now 2 new air conditioners to use if you wish but the house is not a brand new modern house with every modern convenience. For me it’s about nature, simplicity, peace & quiet. If that’s what you’re looking for then you have found it.

However, the kitchen is fully stocked & very easy to cook in, there’s a microwave, toaster, blender, pretty much every device. There’s also Hulu, Netflix, Max PBS & Amazon Prime on both the upstairs & downstairs TVs. The kitchen & baths are updated & all appliances are new. Beds, bedding & furniture are new, clean & comfy.

*PETS* i don’t particularly want dogs in the house -as the homeowner as it’s more wear an tear, BUT I understand that we love our pet children & want them with us on vacation. There is an additional pet fee because I like to keep the house extremely clean & it takes my housecleaner a couple of more hours to clean after dogs have come. A few people have snuck in dogs & then I need to spend extra hours & money on cleaning which is not fair. I’ll send you double the cleaning bill if you choose to sneak your dog in without registering them & paying the pet fee which helps pay the cleaning bill & is also necessary for the insurance policy if your dog happens to destroy something. Please reg your pet & pay in advance. 🙏🏻 Or lmk you’ll be leaving check or cash in the cash box if you wish to avoid Vrbo taxes and fees.

You will be charged if you decide to steal cords from television, towels, bedding, kitchen equipment, batteries, laundry detergent, etc… Most people have been lovely but a few people think it’s OK to take whatever they want. Please don’t do that. This is my home & I’m trying to make it nice for you. Im renting it out so my kids & I have the opportunity to keep my great-grandmother‘s house in the family. Please be gentle & thoughtful & be a good person.

Thanks for agreeing to these basic rules.

Great house to accommodate medium size groups
Holly's house was very quaint and served our group well, with more than enough beds and common areas. We were able to commute easily to Acadia while there.

Great Hideaway for all that Acadia offers
Our family spent a weekend in this lovely Franklin home for a family birthday party. The house and grounds are beautiful and the location is quiet - but convenient to all the beauty, hiking, kayaking etc.. offered in the Acadia area, Beds were comfortable, communication with Holly was spot on and everything was as advertised. Looking forward to our next stay at our new home away from home as our daughter, son-in-law and grandaughter also live in Franklin. Thank you Holly!!!
