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.
The cabin has everything you need for a great vacation

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!!

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
This was a beautiful cottage in a gorgeous forest setting. The interior was stunning & extremely comfortable & cozy! Great week of relaxing, decompressing & family bonding!
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!

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.
This cabin was awesome-so perfectly furnished and charming in every way. We were close enough to go hiking every day in Acadia, but had such an amazing and comfortable (and affordable) place to come back to afterward! Stargazing and fire pit were so great. Pantry was stocked with complimentary snacks, too. All in all a great stay and we’d definitely come back.

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.
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

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and found the home quiet and relaxing. We are very sorry to learn about the leak in the upstairs bathroom and the condition of the cooking utensils.

We will be sure to pass your comments along to our local team so they can address these concerns promptly and improve the experience for future guests. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to host you again under better circumstances.
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 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

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!)
