Super cozy cabin—a bit chilly at nights (that’s mid-October in Maine), but nice and warm under the blankets. We had a lovely weekend, going on hikes and enjoying the beautiful area. Thanks!

We stayed at the Boathouse for our honeymoon and it was everything we wanted and more. The space is rustic yet comfortable and has a kitchenette that allowed us to make breakfast in the mornings and enjoy coffee and tea alongside our favorite feature, the wood stove. The shower had hot water and the outhouse was comfortable. We were able to unplug from it all and left feeling so rejuvenated. Hope to be back soon!
