Family-friendly vacation rentals in Franklin County

Nicole’s home is a beautiful, quiet, and peaceful retreat. The home itself was clean, extremely comfortable, and a perfect place to relax with the family. Our toddler named it “the pretty house” and we couldn’t agree more! Nicole was an awesome host - responsive and helpful when we requested to open the hot tub early. The area around the house is private and quiet, perfect for people seeking solitude. We will definitely be going back if the opportunity come again!

We love staying at the Brownie. It’s a great home for any active family that appreciates a quiet surrounding. Great home and so close to SR. It can’t be beat.

This is as picturesque of a ski cabin as they come. Everything was clean and tight. Far enough into the mountains with a clean up to date feel including Lutron radio RA3 switching. Cleaning fees were a little steap, but we are clean and neat people so im sure they are set to expect the worst. 10 for 10 would rent this house again.

Just returned from the most fantastic 2 weeks exploring the US which included a weeks stay at Kiwi Lodge. Where to start? This was exactly as described and the perfect base for exploring Maine. The property was spotless and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. 3 beautiful bedrooms, 2 great sized bathrooms, wonderful living area and kitchen and fantastic games room. Hot tub was brilliant. The location on the lake is just perfect, we had the lake to ourselves and took the canoe out. Nearest town of Farmington has all the shops and cafes you’d need. The communication from Kay was great from the day we booked, and recommendations we took her up on were all absolutely spot on. Thank you Kay and thank you Kiwi Lodge for a holiday to remember!

The home was beautiful and exactly as pictured. We especially loved the hot tub and the outdoor fire pit, such great touches for a relaxing stay. The space had everything we needed, and we felt right at home. We’d absolutely stay again in the future if welcomed back!

If you like the outdoors, seasonal activities and have several guest, then this is the place for you! The kitchen is restaurant quality and well stocked with spices and cooking utensils. The property has plenty of amenities, games and the fire place and hot tub gives you a resort vibe - overall a great experience.

I had a wonderful stay at Julia’s place! From the moment I arrived, everything was exactly as described — clean, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared. Julia was a fantastic host: responsive, kind, and attentive to every detail, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The location was perfect, and the space felt like a true home away from home. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Julia, for your hospitality!

This home is warm and welcoming from the minute you walk through the front door. The comfortable furnishings and woodland decor are quite fitting for a Maine cabin. We also enjoyed the private setting that the location offers. The Floor plan was perfect for our needs and is quite suitable for a guest size of six. The kitchen was well equipped and had lots of spices for cooking. The Jacuzzi is perfect for stargazing and catching up after a long day on the slopes!

Great place to stay while in the area for our son's graduation from UMF. Rustic charm that was just what we needed. Will stay again next time we are in the area!

We came down for an unseasonably cold Memorial Day weekend, and despite the cold, had an amazing time. The wood stove kept us reasonably warm. The place was just as described and the view even more beautiful than the pictures. It was very private but close to town (about 15 minutes) and we were pleasantly surprised by how interesting Farmington was. Victor gave us extremely details instructions and was responsive, but didn't feel overbearing at all. Highly recommend and would love to be back if the opportunity arises.

Great communication, easy to work with, great place, great location. Exactly how described.

Check in was easy. There was plenty of room for 4 adults, 2 children and a dog. It was nice and quiet on a dead end road. Had a fire pit which was great for s’more’s with the kids after a long day. The river was great and the waterfalls were 20 minutes away. There’s a nice park for the kids down by the fire station. Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a great time. All in all it was nice get away retreat. If you enjoy nature and being able to see the stars then this is the spot for you.

We have rented this house before, it does not disappoint. The description is accurate, very comfortable for 8 - 12 people. Kitchen has all the pots, pans, utensils and everything else you could need. We really like this house for snowmobile trips. Trail is across the street, plenty of parking, could not ask for more.

Absolutely beautiful location. Views of the lake from every window make the cozy spot feel more spacious. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the water, napping on the hammock, dining on the porch or watching the hummingbirds. Incredibly private lot that was so quiet and peaceful. Fully stocked with anything you could need. Games, first aid and staple spices. Use of the Canoe and paddleboard added lots of fun and fires at night to round off a perfect camp stay. So glad we found this beautiful gem!

We enjoyed our stay! A great place in a private setting and beautiful view!! A large older home with comfortable rooms that are nicely decorated and well cared for. The fire pit with Adirondack chairs provided another cozy place to relax. When it was raining we enjoyed playing chess and spending time in the spacious screened porch. This is a lovely older home and we appreciated the style and details an older home offers. There were some ladybugs that hung out in a small entryway, but they weren’t bothersome and they definitely wouldn’t stop us from renting again.

We had an amazing stay! The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The view of the lake was spectacular. On the rainy days there was still plenty to do: lots of games, ping pong, foosball and comfortable places to sit and read. On the nice weather days we were out on the water all day boating, kayaking and paddle boards, all which were in perfect condition! We are so grateful to have made lifelong memories with our family in this beautiful lake house! Thank you!

Great spot, would rent again!

We had such an enjoyable stay we didnt want to leave! All agreed we would stay here again - such a beautiful quiet retreat. Steve was a responsive host with detailed instructions for checkin/checkout. It made everything perfect for my family.

Great place to stay for a family of 4. Very close to Snubber for skiing and hiking. Hope to stay again. Thank you!

We found the cabin well equipped and comfortable. We would like to return in the future.

Great condo. Looks exactly like the pictures. Perfect location close to the mtn and all of the restaurants, movie theater, etc. but separate enough that it is super quiet and wooded. Owners were super helpful and communicative and whole process of checking in and out was quick and easy. Thank you!
