Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Relax, reflect, & let time stand still when you visit this tiny, off-the-grid (NO ELECTRICITY) log cabin. Lobster bakes, swim, paddle the cove, swing the hammock, enjoy an hypnotic fire and unplug. Looking for pure Maine experience in the Mid-Coast?

The space
The cabin, built by my father in 1985, is hand-made from logs harvested on site. In this tiny home, the loft offers 1 double futon on an elevated frame, and a couch downstairs that opens to a bed. The cabin has a private and quiet 180 degree view from a peninsula overlooking Pleasant Cove. High tide provides refreshing swimming (we have a solar shower, but washing up in the cove is exhilarating) and canoeing (one two-seater is included). At low tide try, clam digging and bird watching.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all the cooking utensils you'll need for your visit. Just need to bring your favorite food and ice to put in our cooler. (Hannaford's grocery store is about 7 minutes away).

The old fashioned outhouse is located ten steps from the front door and comes equipped with TP, paper towels, and hand sanitizing gel.

Guest access
The parcel is over four acres of forest. Lots of trails and plenty of space to explore means privacy and room to roam. Park two cars near the cabin and more at top of hill for visitors.

Other things to note
Water is provided for drinking/cooking. The water from the sink when working ) isn't potable, but fine for cleaning and hand washing purposes.

Neighborhood highlights

Boothbay Harbor is a great Maine town. The cabin is in a remote section of the shore front, 5 miles away. There's lots to do in town (whale watching, fishing, shopping, eating, theater, etc.) Things are pretty quiet in the immediate cabin neighborhood -- lots of privacy, and solitude.
