About the host

Hosted by Joanna Bulger

Host profile image
Andrew and Joanna are life long natives of Maine. We take great pride in our log home. Andrew is a master carpenter and general contractor by trade. Together we lovingly built this log home for our family being sure to add all the small touches that make a house a home. We love sharing the home with our guests and hearing about how the setting allows them to enjoy time with their family and friends in peace and quiet.

Why they chose this property

You will love it! Nearly every guest that we have hosted has told us that "the pictures do not do justice" to the beauty of the home. Check out our reviews-our guests say it better than we ever could!

What makes this property unique

Our cabin has all the comforts that we have come to rely on and more while maintaining a classic rustic feel (without the sacrifices!). It's far enough "away from it all" to provide our guests with the opportunity to decompress from daily life, yet it is not too far from stores, hospitals and other necessities.
