Perfect little cabin , great place to relax and get off the grid for awhile !!!

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Jun, 2021
Off grid in so many ways! Just getting away from the norm is one way, but being on solar power and off the electric grid is another. At the cabin, it can be hard to remember you are on solar power without even realizing there is a difference. Aimee, we are thrilled you and your family had such a great Memorial Day weekend. We look forward to having you stay again.

Thank you Sarah for your kind review. The weather this past week was some of our best we've had all season. You really picked a terrific week to stay. We're thrilled you had time to enjoy the porch - it really is a favorite place to relax. Dave and I actually also took some time ourselves at the cabin tonight to play cards. It's so relaxing there and hard to leave. Glad your pup had a good time as well. Thank you again for choosing to stay at "Dam Right". Come again!

Shawn's group took amazing care of the cabin during their stay. While some folks come for snowmobiling, Shawn told us he came for fishing and time in the woods. We had some sleds for the kids to use and are glad they took advantage of the hill by the cabin for sliding. ~ We can recommend him to future hosts wholeheartedly.

My favorite place to stay in the north country.

The quaint, cozy cabin is always spotless when we arrive. Linda and David are readily available if you need anything. If you like snowmobiling, 4 wheelers or wandering around back roads, this is the perfect spot! This is the only place I'll stay up north.

dam right off grid was great

dam right cabin is a unique property combining off grid simplicity with creature comforts. hosts linda and david are available to answer all questions if needed,but the property is really turn key. snowmobile trails are nearby and walkable without snow cover. overall we recommend this destination.

Sometimes it's hard to remember that Dam Right cabin is off grid. The batteries charge each day with solar panels and the generator kicks in automatically when needed. As property owners, we wish we had added the solar sooner! Thank you very much for the recommendation. We love the cabin too.

About the host

Hosted by David and Linda Chappell

Host profile image
Our log cabin was built by owners in 1988-1989 from a log cabin kit. It was originally set up at the Big E in Massachusetts before being disassembled and then reassembled at its current location. The cabin sits on the edge of the old family farm. One owner - who himself married his sweetheart at the camp 35 years ago. A true vacation paradise that is as special to us as it will be to you.

What makes this property unique

Solar, off-grid, private - yet close to town. Easily accessible year round.
