HISTORY
The cabin was likely built in the 1930's to 50's and was part of a logging operation. The cabin enjoyed phone service for a while from the Narraguagus Telephone Company, which closed operations around World War II. The cabin phone was made out of wood and the line ran along the bottom of the lake.
The cabin was a hunting camp for a few decades. A few deer antlers still hang on the wall. At one point, the cabin had a bear skin rug.
A famous Maine Guide owned the property for a about a decade or so. In 1925, he was the youngest guide in the state. This person designed a canoe that is still in production today.
Prior to 1980, accessing the cabin involved parking a vehicle and driving a Model T about a mile and crossing a low part of the Narraguagus River. Then after parking the Model T, people carried their gear through the woods to the lakeshore. From there, people put their gear into a canoe and paddled across the lake. Later, after years of logging and new roads, today's access just requires 4 miles of dirt roads and 1/3 mile hike.

Summary: This was an awesome getaway! Exactly as described in the listing, and the lake was even bigger than I was expecting. Me and my dog saw only 2 families the entire week, and had plenty of room to hang out and roam around. Thanks!

Summary: We loved our stay at the cabin and we were sad to leave. We enjoyed use of the kayaks and brought our paddleboard. The lake is beautiful and clean. Our dogs enjoyed spending so much time outdoors with us and going for their first swim. The cabin worked well for our family. It's simple, but that's what we were looking for. Spent a lot of time on the porch enjoying the lake view. Cooked over the campfire and played games at night. Christian met us the evening of our arrival and he was great to talk with. Highly recommend if you're looking for a secluded, peaceful, off-grid experience. We loved it and hope to go back next summer! Thanks so much Christian!

Summary: Absolute Gem! This place has everything you need. The hike to the cabin is about 10-15 min. Christian gave us a wagon to haul some stuff. The trail is not completely smooth, and the wagon tipped over a couple of times so next time, we will pack a little lighter. The cabin is stocked, and Christian gave us a 5 gallon of water that we used to make coffee and tea, wash some dishes and more. It was more than 2 people and 2 dogs needed. Bring your bug spray!! The place has lots of horseflies and mosquitos. Check yourself for ticks daily, we had two on us. But these are things that can be easily dealt with. The cabin is on the lake, there are no cabins in sight. We needed a reset from the world, and we got it here for sure. The wild animals visited us here including a hummin bird, a red squirrel, a duck family and we heard loons. We will be back for sure!

Summary: Obviously this place isn’t for everyone who needs modern amenities, but the cabin and location were excellent. We didn’t see anyone on the lake the whole weekend. There was lots of leftover shelf-stable food, bug spray, sunscreen, and other essentials left over so pack lightly. The fire pit, charcoal grill, and propane stove all worked for our cooking needs. The site had multiple canoes and a tandem kayak (only a canoe paddle though) and the lake was beautiful. The only downside is the walk in was pretty brutal when carrying everything but we overpacked and the 95 degree weather didn’t help. If needed, there was a wheel barrow and a radio flyer cart to use for carrying luggage. We didn't have any luck fishing but Christian said it mostly is perch and pickerel if you were to catch something. We recommend this spot and would definitely consider re-booking another stay here!

Summary: Chris was a perfect host. Met us at the trailhead, no hidden information. This place was like being in the adirondaks in the 70's. Very remote, , quiet, no motor boats or people. Very rough terrain getting in to the campsite, but worth. It. Cones, & kayaks accesable at shreline. Our pup especailly loved i it. Freedom off lease after 2 days of walking the same trails. Max loved it. Hopefully we can go back next summer for a month. Thank you Chris. Place is outstanding!!!!!!
