About this property

Wells, Maine Cabin House<br>w/ Fire pit for Campfire <br>Beaches, Hiking, Farms nearby

Our cabin style vacation home is the best of both worlds, as it is located in a wooded setting, where it is not uncommon to see wildlife, hear an owl, or catch some fireflies at night while sitting around the campfire toasting marshmallows, all while being centrally located between the two best beaches in Wells. We are also conveniently located minutes from the beautiful Kennebunkport, Kennebunk and Ogunquit beaches.
The Wells Park and Rec. is a 30 second drive or a 5 minute walk from our home and consists of 70 acres which includes nature trails, a playground, and tennis and basketball courts.
Ice skates, snowshoes and cross country ski rentals are available in the winter!
Spillers Farm store and UPick is beautiful place to visit and is just a two minute drive away.
We have an open concept, full kitchen/living room and a full bathroom. There are two bedrooms with a queen size cedar log bed in each and there is a queen size pull out sofa in the living room.
The loft is a fun place to hang out and play board games and is furnished with two queen size cedar log futons and two cedar log futon chairs.
Outside we have off road parking, and a yard with a fire pit ,where you can relax and toast marshmallows after a long fun filled day.

Wells

The property was beautiful. The house was well supplied & was peaceful & quiet. We had issues with the water the entire stay & with electricity at times. Lisa & Nathan were wonderful in trying to rectify the situation even during a holiday weekend. If it weren’t for this issue I would have given overall rating 5 stars. I would recommend staying here.

Wonderful Stay in Maine

Our family loved our stay in Maine at Nathan and Lisa's cabin. It was clean and had all the conveniences you needed. They were both very helpful with local recommendations and provided a fun surprise for our daughter when we arrived. The use of the outdoor equipment was also helpful for our beach days and the proximity to the summer camp was amazing. We will look forward to another week in Maine next year!

Away from the maddening crowd

What a nice log cabin in the woods! Away from the hustle and bustle but close to the best beaches and nature preserves. Our host mentioned Drake’s Island beach and that is where we spent much of our time when in the Wells area. We enjoyed our time up in Kennebunkport and Portland as well. Our hosts Nathan and Lisa were very accommodating and the cabin is a terrific place to relax, have a cookout, or enjoy the peaceful spot in the woods. We are not the technical type so Lisa helped us with the TV and even gave us her code! Thank you Lisa and Nathan! Great place to stay and not far away for anything. Gil

Great Home in Maine.

Lisa and Nathan are great people. They made us feel right at home and were there if we needed. We didn't really need anything as all linens, cooking utensils, dishes, washer/dryer. were there. Beds were comfortable and the kids loved the loft. Great central location with places to see to the north and south...Highly recommend this place. Charlie Helinger

Private and convenient

Had a great stay at this cozy cabin in Wells. Nice location for hiking(went to Wells Reserve at Laudholm-beautiful), restaurants(Hobbs Harborside lobster), shopping (lots of options not too far north), or just hanging out and relaxing! Definitely recommend for couples, or families with young ones or teenagers. We also went bowling in Kennebunk, and mini-golfing in Wells!

Wonderful stay

We had a great week at Lisa and Nathan's cabin. They met us when we arrived and showed us the house. It was perfect for our family of five. The beds were comfortable and the kids loved hanging out in the loft area. The new AC was welcome during the humid days. The kitchen had all that we needed and the beds were comfortable. We also enjoyed the fire pit and lounging in the hammock. It was an easy drive to the beaches and very convenient to the highway. The farm down the street had a great selection of fresh fruits, veggies, and meats. We would definitely stay again!

Great Basecamp location in picturesque log cabin chalet

The pictures do not do it justice. Lisa and Nathan were great hosts. They texted me things to do suggestions, etc and especially enjoyed Bennet's sandwich shop. There was a great outdoor firepit area complete with Adirondack chairs and benches. The location was quiet, only about a 5 minute ride to Route 1 in Wells. We also went to Kennebunk; that was about 10 minutes away. Great place, location, hosts...and s'mores !!!! Don It was a bit humid, but they have central air conditioning : )

Fantastic Wells Rental!

We just spent a wonderful week at this property and highly reccomend it. We travelled with our 2 daughters and my in-laws. It fit the 6 of us comfortably. To find something with a yard and privacy within 10 minutes of the ocean was the best of both worlds. We were able to play games in the yard, sit around the fire and relax in the hammock or on the porch. Shopping in Sanford was convenient as wells as the great farm stand just up the road. The owners were friendly and accomodating and even brought us lights so we could play cornhole at night when they noticed it would improve our stay. We will definitely book again. Thanks for a great stay Lisa & Nathan.

Will definitely go back!

This house is the best of both worlds: we felt like we were deep in the woods of inland Maine, yet we were a 10 minute drive to our favorite beach in Wells. The house is beyond adorable -- spacious and comfortable too -- and the hosts are eager to please. We couldn't have asked for more!

A Forest Getaway

We stayed at this cabin with a total of 5 adults and 1 toddler. The owners are nearby, and very helpful. They had just installed a new AC system, which was very welcome in the heat and humidity. The loft area was perfect for a small family, with lots of space and games provided.

Wonderful piece of Maine

This was an amazing little spot and exactly the kind of place our family was looking for; close to the beaches, nestled in the woods of Maine, and near farms too. The farm store just down the road was amazing and such great quality, while various nearby restaurants each offered incredibly unique menus and experiences. The hosts were absolutely amazing. The property was in immaculate condition when we arrived, with plenty of little touches that we all just adored (I won't spoil it). They were always readily available, and just so kind. We really could not have asked for better hosts or a better experience in any way. My family looks forward to returning someday!

Peaceful forest retreat

Our family of five spent a week at Lisa and Nathan's beautiful home in the woods and left feeling refreshed, energized and grateful for the opportunity and space to slow down. Their home is immaculate, beds are comfortable and the front and back yards are huge and gave our 3 and 5 year olds all the space they could want to run, roam and explore. - [ ] We booked our stay with only two days' notice and in that time, Lisa and Nathan stocked the house with a pack and play and high chair for our baby and books, toys, games, bubbles and buckets for our girls. When we found an item or two that would be helpful around the house, they delivered it promptly and cheerfully. Nathan drove his tractor over to deliver firewood and kindling for the fire pit and our girls were tickled at the s'mores kit that Lisa and Nathan so generously left for us - tucked up high as to not entice our kids at our late arrival on our first night. - [ ] We would absolutely stay again - this home is beautiful and Lisa and Nathan are so friendly and accommodating! We loved the comfortable, beautiful wood interior and the moose theme. The loft was a great spot for my husband to work during the day (wifi was perfect!) and for our girls to play early in the morning and again in the evening. Our girls picked blueberries in the woods and the beach was just a short drive away. Thanks again for such a great week!
