Franklin Donnell Pond Hotels

"What a beautiful place! Easy 45 minute drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We loved being able to come back and just relax without all the hustle and bustle! Ellsworth is close by and has a great selection for places to eat. There is also a Walmart if you want to make your own food. Communication with the host was excellent and we felt like we had everything we needed at the house."

"Fantastic! The lake it beautiful. We loved the yard, kayaking, and fishing. The park is close is enough for day trips, which we liked. The Pond House was clean, well equiped, and comfortable. The views were spectacular. "

"I was a little shocked that there was no potable water and that the bathroom was outside "

"Cabin was cozy and very private. Jim was exceptionally responsive and very helpful with local suggestions as well. We are very grateful for the opportunity to make lasting family memories. We especially loved the canoe and private lake. Highly recommend!"

"We loved this private, rustic cabin and lake! The property is gorgeous and peaceful. We enjoyed grilling out and the fire pit and stargazing at night. Our dogs had so much fun, also. We were so comfortable and had everything we needed. Thanks!"

"Really cool barn loft experience "

"We had a great experience!"

"Loved our stay. Becka was super responsive. Cayenne, her dog, took us on a lovely hike. The kids got to say hi to the roosters, chickens, and the pig. "

"This is a beautiful cabin off a secluded dirt road with pond access. Extremely clean and quiet, and close enough to Bar Harbor while still getting that off the beaten path feeling. Host is helpful and prompt. Kids loved making s’mores in the fire pit! We’ll come back the next time we’re in Maine."
