Escape to the Heart of Northern Maine Outdoors: Where Wilderness Meets Comfort

Leave the hustle and bustle behind and immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of Northern Maine, where rugged outdoors and unspoiled nature await. Hike, bike, or ATV through the vast wilderness, explore pristine swimming lakes, and experience the thrill of the great outdoors. Yet, after a day of adventure, retreat to our cozy cabin, where comfort and warmth envelop you. As night falls, enjoy the breathtaking views of the star-filled sky, as our location is considered one of the best places for stargazing in the US.

Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen with high-quality utensils, pots, and pans, including a lobster boiling pot, and all the modern appliances you need. After a busy day full of adventures, the kids will enjoy the custom bunk beds, while parents appreciate comfortable queen mattress in the master bedroom, complete with luxurious linen sets. A full bath and all the amenities you need to feel at home are also at your disposal.

But the real magic happens outside! Roast marshmallows at our rustic fire pit, where we've provided complementary firewood, marshmallows, and skewers. Enjoy an outdoor cookout on our Blackstone griddle or gas grill, with fresh bison meat available just a quarter mile away at a local farm. Explore the Northern woods on our property, crisscrossed with old tree logging trails, where you might even stumble upon a tiny trout brook!

And, for our eco-conscious guests, we offer a 220V 50 Amp EV charging outlet on the side of the cabin, making our retreat an ideal destination for those with electric cars. This rare amenity in Northern Maine will give you the freedom to explore the region without worrying about charging your vehicle. We've also designed our cabin with sustainability in mind, incorporating locally sourced and renewable building materials, LED lighting and a grey water recycling system, to minimize our impact on the environment.

As you settle into our cabin, you'll have the perfect opportunity to unplug and recharge. We've intentionally chosen not to provide Wi-Fi, allowing you to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature and your loved ones. Without the distractions, you can focus on the things that truly matter: spending quality time with family and friends, finally playing that long-forgotten board game, exploring the great outdoors, and rejuvenating your mind and body. And don't worry - in case of a “digital emergency” - our location is right next to ta cell tower with a solid signal, and the local libraries provide reliable internet access.

Our cabin is perfectly situated for easy access to a wide range of activities and attractions, including:

• Historic Houlton with unique shops, movie theater and Houlton Farms Ice Cream (15 min)
• Presque Isle - college town with shops, trails, river landing park and recreation complex (1 hour)
• ATV and biking trails (10 min)
• Pristine lakes: Pleasant Pond, Mattawamkeag, Spaulding, Timoney, Meduxnekeag (5-15 min)
• Amish baked goods, meat, and produce stands (5-10 min)
• Baxter and Aroostook State Parks (1 hour) and Acadia National Park (2 hours)
• Sugarloaf Mountain hiking trail (45 min); Waterfall trails: Warren, Upper/Lower, Shin Falls (25-45 min)
• Va-Jo-Wa Golf Resort, also featuring summer outdoor concerts and events (15 min)
• Shopping: Walmart, Mardens, Hannaford (15 min); Antiques (5-15 min); Local souvenirs (5-15 min)

We've curated this list to help you make the most of your stay and experience all that Northern Maine has to offer (see more info in your welcome package). As a family of six, we've created countless memories in this cabin and are now excited to share this experience with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions about the area or our property. We're committed to making your stay unforgettable and look forward to welcoming you to our little slice of Northern Maine heaven!
