This is a wonderful place to stay. It is very clear that the hosts care that you are comfortable and well taken care of. The interior is gorgeous and so well appointed. I highly recommend this place.
I can't recommend On Franklin Pond enough! The hosts are so gracious and generous. The space is well-appointed with furniture and amenities. The location was perfect. Remote enough to be peaceful, but Whiteface and Lake Placid are a short drive away. Plenty of good fishing in the area too. We loved it!!
The attention to detail was noticed right down to the candy bars. Thank you for an immaculate property. Gods nature right at your feet. It felt like home from the moment the hosts greated you.
The property was immaculate, it was equipped with everything I needed, and the hosts were exceptionally gracious. The property site is incredibly beautiful, with a breathtaking view out the entry way door.
Beautiful property and the hosts provided so many thoughtful touches for our arrival. Would recommend this to anyone in search of an Adirondacks getaway. Kayaking on the lake was wonderful and there are many great hiking options nearby.

We had a wonderful time of Franklin Pond. The apartment was clean and spacious and the location is hard to beat. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating.
It was our second time staying and it’s always so wonderful. Clean and with everything you need to stay. The location can’t be beat for kayaking and relaxation.
This was a nice quiet location for a weekend getaway. We appreciated the extra hospitality touches! We enjoyed kayaking on the pond and doing hiking some nearby mountains.
Beautiful and peaceful with outstanding and attentive hosts. The decor was so nice and Adirondack centered. Sparkling clean and thoughtfully furnished/stocked. The location was quiet and peaceful and within a short distance to kayaking, hiking, dining, and many other activities. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!
On Franklin Pond was a beautiful apartment. We loved the cozy Adirondack vibe. Mary and Dick also set us up with some treats includingbreakfast essentials. We appreciated the thoughtful attention to detail. We look forward to returning.

About the host
Hosted by Dick and Mary George
We retired from our jobs in the medical profession in 2008 to move to the Adirondack Mountains where we took a retirement job as live in inn keepers at a historic Great Camp. We found that we loved the Adirondacks and purchased a home and retired from our retirement job.
Why they chose this property
Having traveled to the Adirondacks many times over the past 20 years we came to appreciate and enjoy the Mountain lifestyle. We fell in love with this property from the moment we first saw it. The view is stunning and we feel so fortunate to be able to live in these beautiful mountains.
What makes this property unique
The Adirondack style of our home and it's location on a beautiful lake with gorgeous scenery, being surrounded by forever wild forest and an abundance of wildlife as well as great access to canoeing, hiking, fishing and winter sports all contributed to our love of this property.
