Excellent swimming and easy shore access for people and dogs, with a canoe for guests to use. The cabin is 600 square feet plus a loft, with large windows and skylights: plenty of natural light regardless of the weather. Situated 10 minutes from the larger town of Machias (pronounced Ma-CHAI-us), the cabin is convenient to a full-service supermarket, several hardware and outdoor supply stores, a handful of restaurants, a hospital with a 24-hour emergency room, and many small businesses. The original cabin was built in 1998 and was very rustic, with no running water or electricity, and recently underwent an expansion (bedroom and full bathroom) and extreme makeover. (Please note that all reviews through 2023 refer to the original cabin and not the renovated one). Photos of the original cabin appear toward the end of the photo gallery. The cabin does not have a television or Internet or exterior lights of any kind in order to preserve the rustic feel and minimize light pollution. It usually receives a decent cell phone signal depending on your carrier, allowing you to use your phone as an Internet hotspot. Dogs that like to swim really love this property, and the water access is very good. But please note the property is sloped, with many tree roots along the path between the cabin and the water, so it is not ideal for people or animals with mobility issues. (And please note -- in spite of the ramp pictured, the cabin is not handicap accessible. The ramp is there for older dogs and people that want to avoid steep stairs.) The access road and our driveway are sand and gravel, and fairly well-maintained. A 4-wheel (or all-wheel) drive vehicle is helpful but not necessary during most times of the year. For those looking for a quiet, secluded, dark-sky experience on the lake, the property will not disappoint. Mid-June to mid-September: we normally have a 7-day minimum, Saturday to Saturday. (Exceptions may apply especially if there are gaps in booking dates.) Other times of year: We usually have a 3-day minimum. Exceptions may apply. Late fall through mid-December: we have a relaxed cancellation policy due to the possibility of a snowstorm that could make our road accessible only to high-clearance vehicles/4-wheel drives. When you make a booking request, please add a brief note to let us know something about you and what draws you to our region of Maine. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Freezer - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Front entrance ramp - No lift - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Smoking is ok outside; please "leave no trace." ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near a hospital - Near the marina - Near the sea - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Recycling - Unit size: 600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93140000/93131400/93131388/3472aef1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy 1 bedroom cabin a few steps from Gardner Lake Whiting - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 35 reviews £235 includes taxes & fees 16 Oct - 17 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-16&endDate=2025-10-17&selected=93131388&PinnedHotelID=93131388&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35360000/35353100/35353046/e3302907.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gardner Lake Home: Amazing views private and quiet 150' of private frontage East Machias - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=35353046&PinnedHotelID=35353046&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66050000/66041900/66041859/ac8b51fd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront Home; A Coastal Maine Woodland Retreat Cutler - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 97 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=66041859&PinnedHotelID=66041859&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114430000/114428900/114428871/d48f56b0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### This beautiful cottage is set back 25 feet from Bog Lake in Northfield, Maine!
