About this property
Taylor Camp: Lakeside Log Cabin on Tunk Lake - 4 Bedrooms. Sleeps 10.
The Taylor Camp is available to families who want a quiet and relaxing vacation on one of the most beautiful and private lakes in all New England. Five miles long, Tunk Lake has only 12 cabins on the southern 2/3 of the lake. The Taylor Camp is perfect for your family vacation. The cabin is a log cabin with all the conveniences of home: TV/Internet, washer/dryer, screened in porch...and much more. It just doesn't get any better than this! DownEast Magazine (June 2019) named Tunk Lake one of 32 of the most beloved "Great Ponds" in Maine each with its own character and charm.

About the host
Hosted by Jim Taylor
My father built the Taylor Camp for his family in 1992 so it was not built as a typical rental property. It is only available for rental a few weeks a year in the summer and fall. Buying land on Tunk Lake is virtually impossible at any price as it is heavily protected by conservation easements.
Why they chose this property
The camp is on 15 acres and has 1,000' of shoreline. There are only about a dozen camps at the southern 2/3 of the lake so it is quiet and peaceful. The camp is well maintained which is why we have gotten such great reviews. Although it is off the beaten path, it has all the conveniences of home and is only 30 minutes from Ellsworth which has all your shopping needs.
What makes this property unique
The Taylor Camp is 100% log cabin with not a single piece of sheetrock. Just look at all the 5 star reviews. You are not really roughing it at the Taylor Camp, but you can tell your friends you are.
