( A 4 SEASONS RETREAT )
Welcome to central Maine. / with off season rates as
low as $250 week
This is a single cabin on a wide stream with about 2000 feet of frontage with
a 1/2 mile private entrance. My next vacancy(s) at the cabin) is August 23 -
aug 29 at noon ( a 6 night week ) ---- other dates ? - see my Availability Calendar
My cabin is a unique experience for those that are seeking a little solitude rather
your seeking just peace and quiet ( with the sound of whitewater in the background, 75 feet away) or
just using the cabin as a base camp to explore Maine. ( see " Things to Do " )
Recreational opportunities are abundant in this area with its lakes and ponds , streams and forests, whether
you're hiking ,white water rafting, mountain climbing, This area of Maine is generally within an hours drive of countless
hours of activities , our coast and lighthouses are a bit further. A guide book is furnished ( Delorme's) with
an endless list of places and things to do, such as Unique natural areas, Scenic waterfalls, Beaches, National and State Parks,
Recreation areas, Lighthouses, Hiking trails, Places of interest and much more. Other options are those morning
walks in a very safe neighborhood, canoeing and kayaking, or evenings building a fire outside in the fireplace
, (free wood) and cooking popcorn over an open fire with a real popcorn cooker - you add the kernals, slab of butter
and gentlely shake above the flame.
The "camp" is 6 tenths of a mile down behind my house with a private access (
no other people, vehicles ) There is a residence on the other side of the stream and the visibility of their home is blocked
by trees and foilage. Their access is not thought the cabin access . While your here you will realize that you
have about 2000 feet of water frontage to yourself and that this stream is about 200 feet wide in many places.
I accept short term reservations if the cabin or mobile home is
available. just look at my calendar and email or call to confirm. I only need a 2
- 4 hour notice to have it ready for you. (The mobile home has no water frontage and is on
the front side of my property , more than 1/2 mile from tthe cabin. - with rates of 250 - 300 per week
)) While it does have a 15 dia. foot pool for kids swimming with a public beach one mile
away it is best suited for those that just need a base for exploring , hiking ,
white water rafting, ATV's or visiting local secenery .
Ok, heres the brief on this place.

This region of Maine ( Abbot Village ) is away from the hustle and bustle
and commercialism of other parts of the State.this is truely ' LIFE AS IT OUGHT TO BE ". Abbot Village is a small friendly

of Maine at the junction of 2 rivers that drain from the surrounding lakes, ponds, hills and mountains. It is between Bingham
, Greenville and Bangor, we are on the southern edge of the Great Northwoods, It is a diverse area with some unique geological
features to include Slate quarries, several small waterfalls, and hundreds to thousands of miles lumbering,
ATV and Snowmobiling trails . miles of working forest roads Just a few hundred
feet from our roads, you will see some very scenic areas.

front side ( 1/2 mile away from the cabin ) I do have a mobile home in good shape that I rent for even less
