Beautiful little cabin in the woods

We take an annual trip to the Penobscot to fish. This cabin looked perfect with access from a small stream. It’s kind of small, three people means somebody is on the couch or in a tent. Beautiful post and beam and the property is very well cared for.We only had two problems.First, you can’t tell from the description, but the stream is 75’ down a steep little path. Consider that if you plan on launching any kayaks or canoes. You have to get them back up the hill. We needed a truck and a long rope. Just part of the adventure but it would’ve been nice to know beforehand.Second, the tap water was awful. Smelled and tasted like a swamp. Bring your own.My recommendation is to come for a quiet time in the forest. Forget the river unless you’re young and strong.

10/10 Vacation Getaway

Our stay at this vacation spot was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how peaceful and serene the surroundings were—it felt like a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The property was spotless and incredibly well-maintained, with every detail thoughtfully taken care of. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, making it easy to unwind and enjoy every moment. Whether it was the beautifully kept grounds, the comfortable accommodations, or the overall welcoming vibe, everything exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. Definitely a 10/10!"

The most perfect little log cabin

This little log cabin is like something out of a movie. It is only 10 minutes from town which has everything you need but feels like you are way more peaceful and remote. Being there in December, everything was snow covered and gorgeous. The cabin is so cozy and comfortable; even in December it got very warm and had plenty of warm water. We were only there for a weekend but gladly would have stay longer relaxing and enjoying. The owner was so helpful and responsive. We had some issues with the wi-fi that he had rectified in less than an hour! On the day we were leaving there was a new snowstorm and he had a plow over clearing by 9am. We would love to return for a longer stay!

Wonderful Cabin

The cabin exceeded our expectations. It is superbly built, well laid out, and clean. Located in the quiet and peaceful Maine woods, it made for a most relaxing environment. As a bonus, it sits above the beautiful Medunkeunk Stream. The hosts responded right away when we locked ourselves out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Chester River Cabin

There was no AC in the cabin so that was an issue for a couple high 80’s days. The owner did say that there were plans to add AC. The taste of the water was definitely an issue for us. Providing bottle water should be considered. Additional lighting on the porch would have been helpful. The quality of the sleeper sofa mattress needs to be improved.

Atving trip

We stayed for 3 nights. Spent the days out four wheeling and the evenings at the cabin. The cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay away from home. Great location, close enough to town, very peaceful site. Unfortunately it was no longer possible to hit the ATV trails from the site. Not a big problem, there is parking in Lincoln and Winn with great riding from either town. Robin
