House holiday rentals in Franklin

Nice place! I had a great time here with my dog. The host gave us instructions when we arrived, and he response very quickly and friendly. Highly recommend

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

What a wonderful experience! Rebecca was an absolutely outstanding host, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. My family and I had such a peaceful stay. The home and location were incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house and property were absolutely beautiful, and we loved sipping our morning coffee on the amazing balconies with the breathtaking views. There is so much space, and every room in the house is well thought out, functional, and cozy. The pool is even better than we hoped, so big and clean and in immaculate condition. We spent most of our time swimming and relaxing by the pool. We also enjoyed playing pool and having so many rooms to gather in with the comfort of plenty of new comfy furniture. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind for a vacation away from all the noise and chaos of daily life. Every single area was as described in the listing and better. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

Booked this place for our anniversary to get away from the city for a weekend.. we found exactly what we were looking for! The hot tub was wonderful, the house was clean and cute, and we had everything we could have needed! Estelle was very responsive and gave clear instructions for everything. Would recommend this place for a quiet getaway or a small group trip in the summer!

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

Absolutely beautiful setting! Sunrises were gorgeous; no need to drive up to Cadillac Mountain Summit to view the sunrise! Great location for driving into Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Access road is a little bumpy (not paved) but definitely worth it!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the tranquil and beautiful surroundings. Easy drive into MDI but nice to come home to the quiet of Lamoine!

Beautiful place! Can't wait to visit again. Very comfortable and access to nature right in your backyard.

We loved our stay. The apartment was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. It had everything you need to cook meals and having the washer and dryer was a bonus especially when hiking. There was even laundry detergent. I would definitely stay here again. It was about 30 minutes to Acadia National Park. Bar Harbor had so many restaurants and shops. Loved the coffee shop Flexit Cafe in Ellsworth. Amazing breakfast sandwiches.

We loved our three nights at Seabank. The house was comfortable and immaculate, the kitchen well equipped, and the location—overlooking tidal Goose Bay with views toward Mount Desert Island—could not have been more tranquil (plus an easy 20-minute drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor). Robard was a terrific host, quick to answer our questions, and even lending a hand to ensure that we were able to check in early. We lucked into gorgeous weather and spent lots of time outdoors, reading on the deck, kayaking in the bay at high tide, and relaxing around the fire pit.

We had a wonderful stay. Melissa and Andrew’s place is fantastic! It was very cozy, clean, and a convenient base for Bar Harbor adventures.

This was a perfect spot for us. Right near we needed to be and very clean.

Patty’s house is in a great location and was ideal for my group (two couples). The house seems recently renovated, was very clean, and had plenty of space. We found it especially helpful to have a washer/dryer, since we were hiking in Acadia during the day and enjoying the house in the evenings. Patty was also very responsive and helpful.

Great area, great home. Lots of space. Cute little town close to Acadia.

Staying at Susan’s felt like a home away from home. The house was incredible and the farm was stunning. Being close to Bar Harbor and Ellsworth was a perfect combination. The handbook when you first walk in was a highlight as Sue takes the time to go through and give ideas of good places and activities to do around the area. Truly a 10/10 stay I would rate higher if I was able to.

Our stay at Stacy's was amazing. We felt right at home and the whole family had the best time! We are so grateful for the responsiveness when we had any question, they were very friendly and proactive!

Beautiful place with everything you need for a low key getaway. Not a bad drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia but with better peace and quiet in the mornings and evenings! Definitely would recommend

Erica was a great host and the stay was spectacular. We were traveling with our six month old daughter and Erica was kind enough to order a pack and play for our daughter to sleep in. The space was unique and had more than everything we needed. The outdoor space was really cool with the fire pit, hot tub, and easy access to the water. We didn’t get to utilize the kayaks and paddleboards due to the weather but would certainly have tried them out if weather permitted! We spent 4 days going to Acadia and bar harbor which was an easy 30 minute drive from this Airbnb. Would easily stay here again!

Best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had! Wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when visiting the area. Perfect location, wonderful place, and extremely accommodating host. A hidden gem in Bar Harbor.

Loved the home and surroundings. Very comfortable and a good value. Home was set back from the road for privacy. Very nice updated kitchen. Lovely large back yard and deck.

came here for my honeymoon and we absolutely loved this place! great location to visit Bar Harbor and Bangor. the drive places isn’t that bad and the NIGHT SKY VIEW was amazing. I would definitely come here again in the summer for another seasonal experience in Maine.
