Our hosts were incredibly welcoming--they made sure to have lights on so we could see when arriving in the dark, and as it was over the Thanksgiving holiday, they left us a gingerbread house to assemble (my 11-year-old daughter loved this!). They were responsive and the house was everything we needed for a refresh.

We loved the cabin after long days hiking at Acadia National Park. If you are looking for a cabin off the grid- this is the place for you! The craftsmanship of the home was beautiful!!

We had our college student we were dropping off for Freshman year at UMAINE. We decided to make a little extended vacation out of it. We were looking for something decompressing & relaxing to take the edge off of our emotions dropping our baby off to the next chapter. This remote cabin in Franklin was perfect! It was located perfectly between Orono & Bar Harbor. We enjoyed family time and visiting the area of Bar Harbor! The cabin was clean, comfortable and sized right! I had a few questions and was answered promptly. I highly recommend!

Great glamping stay

Quiet and isolated with generally great amenities. The sauna was very nice especially after a day of hiking. Appliances were also all fairly new and easy to use. Would book again

Hilltop cabin

The cabin layout was awesome. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Quiet and very relaxing to return to after a day out running around. We enjoyed the ability to sit outside on the patio and relax and play games inside.

Great place, beautiful scenery, lovely building, quiet and relaxing, if you drive a small car good luck getting up the driveway. There's a leak in the upstairs bath that leaks into the lower bath so if you are using the sink you get dripped on. I text in the issue and found out it's an on going problem. Would have been nice to know ahead of time.Make sure to check all the cooking utensils most were filthy

The house was well-equipped, remote and quiet. Several in our group enjoyed the sauna. We had issues with a leaking shower drain (into the bathroom below) and the regulator on the grill outside. The response time from the management agency was quick, but we were leaving the next morning, so not sure how far resolution would have been.Additionally, while we had an idea about hearing sounds from other reviews, there's effectively no noise dampening at all, even in the enclosed bedroom and bathrooms, which was a bit more distracting then we were expecting

Beautiful Secluded Area

The house was situated at the end for a very bumpy dirt road. The outside area is beautiful lots of very large rocks. Hose was very nice lots of unique touches. Beds were comfortable. Internet is very slow, but they have movies to watch.

Beautiful

This vacation rental was wonderful. It was very clean. The rental had every detail available that may need. We were impressed with how quiet the property was. The home was very comfortable. Very nice touch having folding chairs, cooler and small supplies that were needed for our trip. We would recommend for anyone that does not want the hustle of Bar Harbor. Just beautiful! Would rent again+

The Lazy Lumberjack Hilltop Cabin is a beautiful, fully functional home, with all the you need to live there minus the food. Very clean and comfortable beds and furniture. The 2 bathrooms are a plus. Heating was great. A gas grill outside was a life saver. Very private and quiet. If you are going to hike at Acadia or just go to Bay Harbor area is a 40 minute drive, very reasonable if you are comparing rates of were to stay. My friends a I were very pleased with the Cabin.

RAVE Reviews for the Lazy Lumberjack Hilltop Cabin

Beautifully set at the top of a hill, nestled amongst the woods...such a pristine cabin home! Boasting serenity and coziness, with ample space for 5 adults (more if there are children), it is the perfect gathering place for a Family or Girl's weekend. The amenities were well appointed and we had everything we needed. Having a washer and dryer available was a nice bonus. The large rock fire pit was a favorite for s'mores at night. A very private location without neighbors and although remote, no far to drive to quaint little towns and Acadia National Park. Cadillac Mtn was a highlight overlooking Bar Harbor (and we were able to see whales in the bay!)

Wonderful secluded retreat

This cabin was amazing with all the amenities inside and out. The cabin itself is gorgeous and clean with lots of space to spread out and a well appointed kitchen. There is a wonderful stone patio and a fire pit and sauna. We didn't get to enjoy those due to the weather but did enjoy playing games and cooking dinner with a movie playing. There was a selection of DVD's, board games and books for entertainment. Such a peaceful place and an easy drive to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and all the best lobster roll stands. We would definitely stay again if ever back in that area.

Lazy Lumberjack Hilltop Cabin

Overall, excellent home. It had all the necessities you would ask for. The drive up to the house is not as bad as others have stated in prior posts, but I do see an issue if you go when there is snow on the ground.(need a all wheel drive or better.) I had a Honda Accord I got got there fine with no snow. All six of us where pleased with the home. Heating was fine plenty of towels, very clean rooms, bathrooms and kitchen. Loved every bit of the house. Very comfortable seating in the living area and good TV to watch online content. Wifi was good but not strong. We felt right at home there and already planning our next stay with other friends.

The house is unique, warm and inviting. The kitchen is spacious flowing into the dining and great room. There are no fans in the bathrooms. The downstairs bathroom has a large step up, over and down into the shower, and the shower floor is uneven and squeaks. If anyone uses the shower in the upstairs bathroom, it leaks down into the downstairs bathroom. This has been a past problem which hasn’t been fixed according to previous reviews. I also called about this issue and was told someone would call to schedule a visit. I received no call. I was told I missed a call but no call showed on my phone. I attempted to contact the host 3 times. Communications were always delayed and from several different unrecognizable phone numbers. Very frustrating.

Beautiful property in the woods

We had quite an eventful stay at this property. The address provided on booking the listing led us to a completely different house than the one we booked. Both are owned by the same rental management and I guess there was some sort of confusion in giving the address, which are just 10mins apart. But apart from the initial glitches of checkin (we spent the night in the other house and next day morning we moved to the actual house), everything else was perfect. A big shoutout to the rental owners for their prompt responses for all sorts of queries and help we received at 3am during checkin and next morning as well. I’d love to come back and stay here and I’d recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a quiet peaceful stay in the woods.

Lovely cabin in secluded area

There were a few minor cleaning issues (used contact lenses on bedside table and makeup stained washcloth) but rest of cabin very clean. Bathtub on main floor not recommended for anyone with agility issues or unstable on your feet. None of the four in our group felt safe to use it. When Hurricane Lee encouraged us to leave a day early we were disappointed there was not even a partial reduction in amount paid. When we spoke to other travelers down the coast in the following days we learned most who canceled reservations because of hurricane were given either partial or full refund.

Soothing

We had a wonderful experience staying here. The setting was perfect for us - secluded and heavily wooded. The only sounds we heard were of the winding stream and the wind rustling the leaves on the trees. The home was well-maintained and very clean. We were pleased to find the home as listed and as photographed.
