The Cabbage on Olive Street, overlooking Hayden Brook

The Cabbage has a special place in the hearts of generations of Lakewood folk, as you can see by the many signatures of past/present actors & techies upon the walls!

Sitting up in the woods on the hilly side of Olive Street, overlooking the brook, this cabin/cottage is a rustic & simple dwelling, consisting of a well sized main room with dining table and futon, a small kitchen, a bathroom with shower, and accessable by ladder, a fun sleeping loft with a full sized mattress/boxspring on one side and a full+ sized sleeping mat on the other.

The space behind the Cabbage has a propane grill, a small fire pit, and lawn chairs overlooking the brook and an eagle nest! Beyond the beautiful large pine tree in the front of the building is a larger fire pit where occasional Lakewood community bonfires take place. The community Olive Street bridge over Hayden Brook makes for a very short and pleasant walk to Lakewood Theater, Restaurant, and Lake Wesserunsett. Pets are allowed at the Cabbage with security deposit.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and an ironing board.

Lovely Rustic Cabin

I absolutely loved spending time here! It brought me right back to my childhood growing up near Embden Lake, spending summers in the lakeside cabins. The amenities were all great, exactly as advertised. I will say it's a little tricky finding it in the dark! I'm looking forward to my next trip to Maine so that I can stay here again!

Rustic Cabin - so cute.

We enjoyed our stay at The Cabbage. The Host is very accommodating. Someone had recently given a bad review. We didn't experience any of the things they had. The cabin is old with some modern updates, mostly in the bathroom and the sleeping loft. It's extremely cute. It's a seasonal camp/cabin. Go expecting a rustic Maine cabin experience and you will fully enjoy your stay at the Cabbage.

Live your hermit dream!!! Stay in a cabin!!!

If you, dear reader, and I have anything in common, then you're reading this at 1am after a long work day and you've reached this listing by googling "places to stay in Maine under $100." You're also probably saying to yourself "What a quaint little cabin in the heart of Stephen King country! I wonder if anything Stephen King-related would happen to me if I stayed there?" Dear reader, let me put your fears to rest: book the dang cabin!!! I went here on my first solo vacation and could not have had a better time. The pictures do not do it justice. I spent five nights scaring myself senseless by reading Edgar Allen Poe in the loft and it was delightful. The heater worked like a dream, the hot water stayed hot, the full kitchen allowed me to drink my bodyweight in soup and the place felt like home. The property manager even came by before I arrived to put the lights and the heat on. So nice! She was quick to answer questions and the place was so thoughtfully arranged. Ignore that two star review complaining about spiderwebs. It's a freakin cabin. If you don't like nature, stay in a Marriott. I'm not getting paid to write this, I genuinely had a great time.

Needs a deep clean

The cabbage was just ok, it was dirty and full of cobwebs and spiders. All the windows sills were covered in cobwebs especially in the bathroom and had dirt and dead bugs everywhere. The one meal I cooked at the cabbage I had to clean the pan and some of the utensils before use as old food was stuck on. If I had known that the sleeping loft was so small and required you to hunch over to move around I never would of chosen this place to stay, also the listing never mentioned the stair/ ladder used to get up to the sleeping loft which is extremely dangerous (I almost fell twice coming down). If you are elderly or have limited mobility issues you will never be able to go up and down those stairs, there is also no railing. I was also woken up two mornings in a row to what sounded like scratching on the wall directly behind the bed. I was so shocked by all the positive reviews which is what I based my booking off of because personally I was not impressed. The second you walk through the door you are met by an awful odor I’m not sure if it’s mold or what but it’s not pleasant. I understand that the building itself is very old and supposed to be rustic which is what my husband and I were looking for but there is a difference between rustic and dirty/ not well maintained. I hate to be the only person to give a bad review but this is my honest opinion of the cabbage and if I had known the condition of the place I wouldn’t of booked it, we ended up leaving a day earlier than expected.
