Nice jumping off point for family visiting
Lovely location. Needed to bring drinking water as piped supply is from lake. Enjoyed swimming the clear lake, paddling the canoe, dog walks and nearby hiking [but no dogs in BSP]. In Maine's variable weather we repurposed the table for our jigsaw puzzle. The kitchen/bath are well stocked, and plenty of blankets, etc. too. What a spectacular quiet star-filled sky to enjoy from the sandy beach and dock!!! Thank you.

Perfect Lakefront Getaway in Maine
We had an absolutely fantastic time at this lakefront cabin. The location is unbeatable—right on the water with stunning sunsets every evening and just minutes from the Golden Road crossing, giving us easy access to all the outdoor adventure we were looking for.The cabin itself was cozy, comfortable, and beautifully appointed—everything we needed for a relaxing stay was right at our fingertips. My boys and our golden retriever had the time of their lives swimming, exploring, and just soaking up the peace and quiet of the Maine wilderness.This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit—planning to stay even longer next time!

Amazing Location
This was just what we were looking for. Just enough to be comfortable. Cabin was well appointed with anything you could need. Very peaceful and quiet. There is something about a dirt road where everyone waves at each other that brings life back into focus. Tons of hiking and kayaking. Also did about 50 miles of bike riding. Only negative was mosquitoes but they weren’t constant. Didn’t even use a full bottle of bug spray over a week. Will be back again.

We had such a great week with our teenagers! Since there is no WiFi and limited cell service, we were able to connect in a way that rarely happens in our fast paced life. The cabin was perfect for games, naps, canoe rides and fun. Simple, clean, gorgeous views.
