When I was a kid growing up in Florida my grandparents owned a small cabin in the Maine woods. I have so many fond memories of that place, and this cabin brought me right back to that happy spot.
The cabin was clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The wood stove provided plenty of warmth for the whole cabin, and there were additional heaters in the bedroom and living room if we needed them. While we brought some wood with us, the cabin has more than enough. There were dry logs and kindling in a nearby shed, along with wood stacked up along the outside that was on the wet side. We found that once a good fire was going, the damp wood burned just fine. Sleeping came easy for us in the cabin. The mattress and pillows were very comfortable and there were plenty of warm blankets.
The cabin features a great deck and hot tub with wonderful views of the river and Mt. Index. Christmas eve was particularly magical. We hung out in the hot tub drinking cider while snow fell silently.
During our first evening a heavy snow storm knocked out power in the entire region. While we had no more internet, I was able to text the owner, Liam, who provided us with constant updates from the electric utility website until power was restored. It was only a brief and minor convenience for us, and we felt very safe knowing that Liam was available to help us out if needed.
We had a fantastic stay here and I highly recommend it. Our hosts Liam and Heidi were so generous, kind and convivial. We will surely be back.
