Great canoe-accessible cabin in the woods
Like the description says, there’s parking off a dirt road then about a 10 minute canoe ride to the property. My kids enjoyed the canoeing, it was an adventure when getting back at night but for us it was a lot of fun. The cabin is beautiful and offers a lot of amenities but it’s solar powered and fresh drinking water comes from bottles. There’s a sink for washing hands and dishes but it’s non-potable water. If you have camped and are used to canoeing and dealing with water at camp, it’s very accommodating and a great time. Not recommended for those looking for fully modern cabins with AC and anything car accessible. Pat and Bethany are great hosts and we always, are nearby and reachable, and we always had everything we needed. Had a great week!

Tranquil Wilderness Cabin
My daughter and enjoyed a peaceful week long stay on this great property. The short trips in the homemade wooden canoe were fun and the property was close to a lot of other great locations. I am planning on bringing the whole family next year.

Beautiful property, excellent family vacation.
This was exactly what my family and I were looking for property is set on the river with boat access only. Just a short boat ride from the secure parking area and you feel as though you are the only ones around. But don't worry about being any secluded if that's not your thing down it's just a short drive and has much to do. The house itself is beautiful. No shortage on beds or space. And if you forgot anything chances are they had it. The the fishing was a blast,

Relaxing stay at a quiet, pretty spot
My husband and I totally relaxed during our stay at Pat and Bethany’s cabin. We loved using the canoe daily and saw fish, eagles, osprey, blue heron and more! It felt good to get a break from TV, cable and internet (though access is available on your cell phone). The cabin is well maintained and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Pat and Bethany were very helpful and available to bring our belongings to and from the cabin. The cabin is located a 5 minute canoe trip from the dock, but also only 10 minutes from Gardiner with it’s pretty waterfront, shops and grocery store. Relaxing on the dock in the afternoon with a book was fantastic. It was a much appreciated rejuvenating stay. The bottle of wine to welcome us was also appreciated!

Enjoyed our stay... it was close enough to town that it was convenient, and far enough away that you had privacy... good bass fishing!

Memorable Maine Stay
Pat & Bethany have a wonderful Maine camp. We enjoyed the rustic setting and appreciated how welcoming & helpful the hosts were. Be aware there is an approximately 8 minute canoe trip to the camp from your car. We enjoyed the peaceful time on the creek, it added to a memorable trip! Great place!

Stunning and private accommodations with caring and responsive host
If you are looking for a private, beautifully maintained and cared-for cabin with incredible kind and accommodating hosts, then look no further. Even with a toddler we were able to manage the short canoe ride from the cottage to our car without problem. The views are beautiful and the atmosphere serene. The mattresses and beds were all incredibly comfortable, and sheets provided were extremely nice as if new. Pat and Bethany were incredible hosts who accommodated all of our needs, responded promptly if we had questions, and offered us customized recommendations for things to do in the area. We not only would come back again, but hope that next time they will join us for a bbq and family time by the fire pit. They really thought of everything from bug spray to paper plates to shampoo if you forgot your own. You can tell this is a cabin used lovingly by their family, and we were so fortunate that they shared it with us!

Amazing place
This property is well maintained, clean, cozy and it's very clear that Pat and Bethany have put a lot of heart into making it what it is. We stayed 5 days/4nights and we found that the cabin had everything we needed. The kitchen had all the supplies to cook/eat. They also had the cooking utensils for the grill. The bathroom is pretty small but had everything we needed. We went with our 4 year-old and she also loved it there. For her entertainment, we rented a couple of redbox movies from nearby Gardiner and brought a few toys from home (there are board games and movies in the cabin but nothing really for younger kids). Although this property is located right next to the highway, we felt like we were deep in nature. While canoeing in the area we saw some deer, an owl, eagles, and beavers. We had a great time swimming right in front of the property (although as Pat indicated, it's pretty muddy). Although ticks were an annoyance, I would say this has been one of our best stays (we love the outdoors)! We had a nice balance of relaxing/hanging out at the property and visiting towns/doing tourism. I would definitely recommend this stay.

Great getaway!
Pat and Bethany couldn’t have been better hosts, and their cabin is a perfect place to relax! The cabin is very clean and well stocked. We loved the adventure of getting there by boat and the cabin is very private. We caught largemouth bass, saw eagles, and a great horned owl. The wildlife is awesome, get out on the water and enjoy!
