HISTORY The cabin was likely built in the 1930's to 50's and was part of a logging operation. The cabin enjoyed phone service for a while from the Narraguagus Telephone Company, which closed operations around World War II. The cabin phone was made out of wood and the line ran along the bottom of the lake. The cabin was a hunting camp for a few decades. A few deer antlers still hang on the wall. At one point, the cabin had a bear skin rug. A famous Maine Guide owned the property for a about a decade or so. In 1925, he was the youngest guide in the state. This person designed a canoe that is still in production today. Prior to 1980, accessing the cabin involved parking a vehicle and driving a Model T about a mile and crossing a low part of the Narraguagus River. Then after parking the Model T, people carried their gear through the woods to the lakeshore. From there, people put their gear into a canoe and paddled across the lake. Later, after years of logging and new roads, today's access just requires 4 miles of dirt roads and 1/3 mile hike. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Paper towels ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Soap - Toilet paper ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Pets - Pet friendly - 4 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Location highlights - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 250 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89640000/89637000/89636996/ec0d3022.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### WATERFRONT "Rivah Lodge", ULTIMATE "OFF GRID" Experience Nice drive to Acadia Osborn - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 29 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-02&endDate=2025-12-03&selected=89636996&PinnedHotelID=89636996&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78410000/78401000/78400982/716b3e31.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy, Off-Grid Camp on Spectacle Pond w/ private water frontage!

It was very quiet, peaceful, relaxing. From cutting down and dead wood for the fire, to canoeing on the calm lake in the morning, and listening to the loons at night. The dogs absolutely loved the cabin as well. It is very secluded so they loved the off leash adventures nearby the cabin while we played games on the porch and even took strolls through the trails. We will definitely be going back because of how much of a great time we had. If you like the woods and want to get away, I highly recommend this stay. ##### Joseph T.

We enjoyed use of the kayaks and brought our paddleboard. The lake is beautiful and clean. Our dogs enjoyed spending so much time outdoors with us and going for their first swim. The cabin worked well for our family. It's simple, but that's what we were looking for. Spent a lot of time on the porch enjoying the lake view. Cooked over the campfire and played games at night. Christian met us the evening of our arrival and he was great to talk with. Highly recommend if you're looking for a secluded, peaceful, off-grid experience. We loved it and hope to go back next summer! Thanks so much Christian! ##### Penelope M.

Rustic log cabin on a beautiful and quiet lake. We spent the day canoeing, reading, relaxing by the campfire. It was truly ideal. There was a spring nearby that you can drive to refill water jugs. We took the host suggestion and showered at the Airline Lodge & Snackbar. Great food, showers and laundry services. Christian met us on check in and walked with us the 1/3 mile to the cabin and showed us around. Lots of supplies still there from previous renters were also helpful. The bed was comfortable. Listened to the Loons call at night...perfect! We'll be back! ##### Eric & Mary P.

We absolutely loved our stay and the only thing that would have made it better is if it had been for longer. If you are looking for a great place to unplug and unwind this is the place. Christian was great about communicating before hand and very easy to schedule things with - even when we missed the meeting place and he head to wait a few extra minutes. We loved reading on the porch, playing chess and some of the other board games there, canoeing, and making our own trails around the lake. We loved seeing and hearing the loons and owls too. This is a cozy, comfortable and awesome little place that we cannot wait to come back to visit again. Thank you Christian for sharing! ##### Julee C.

After discovering this place last year; I decided to come back and bring my parents as a retirement gift. They talked about how amazing it was almost the entire drive home (7 hours). The cabin is perfect secluded getaway. My dog loved lounging around on the porch watching the loons. My parents took the canoe out a few times and we all enjoyed swimming in the clear water. We went up to Lebec one day for lunch and went to Quoddy Head, Boot Bay, and Hamilton Cove. Such gorgeous places. I don’t normally like to go back to the same areas to stay, when there is so much to explore, but this cabin is an exception. It’s just such a special place! Thanks Christian!!! ##### Sara R.

Met us at the trailhead, no hidden information. This place was like being in the adirondaks in the 70's. Very remote, , quiet, no motor boats or people. Very rough terrain getting in to the campsite, but worth. It. Cones, & kayaks accesable at shreline. Our pup especailly loved i it. Freedom off lease after 2 days of walking the same trails. Max loved it. Hopefully we can go back next summer for a month. Thank you Chris. Place is outstanding!!!!!! ##### Mary L. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023
