                ( 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       Thanksgiving week.  nov. 22 - 29 th.   GREAT RATES FOR ALL OF DECEMBER (250/wk.) 
---- other dates ? -  see my Availibility Calendar      
 email me (preferred)      dallas1947@hughes.net
 

My Mobile home ( no waterfront ) that is 1/2 mile  from the cabin is availble weekly , starting October 30  th  for most of the rest of the year.  Great base location in the country side for hunters this fall or anyone looking for an inexpensive place to stay anytime during the year , see Additional Rental Property ( most weeks $300 & less )   Both properties have ATV and snowmobile access.

     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 not have water frontage the nearest place to swim is just a mile away. as well as public tennis courts, playground,convience store and bakery. It is  ideally 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.
       Cabin in Central Maine: 1 1/2 story camp on beautiful Kingsbury Stream in Abbot Village.    (A four  season retreat at a low  price )  Peace and quiet is yours in this single furnished cabin  , located in a senic valley surrounding.  It  may be  considered a camp , cottage or cabin, but its  not a  condo, timeshare or lodge, thereefore we can offer low rates .Weekly Rates start at 250. to 550 / week, depending on the season. Sleeps 2-5 persons.  (My lowest rates are in the snowmobile and spring seasons. )   There are 2 bedrooms - 4 beds, outside ground deck, & upstairs bedroom balcony (outside ) , drilled well , hot water, shower, oil furnace as well as an outside fireplace and gas grill.   1/2 mile private drive, 2000 feet of water frtontage, no through traffic !
     Great base to enjoy the beauty and tranquility  of the area by the outside fireplace evenings or from the deck,  just outside the sliding glass door.  or  have your morning coffee from the upstairs balcony ., Of  course other options are relaxing beside the water , exploring local waterfalls , hiking , reading a book or hunting and fishing. ( see my THINGS TO DO  page)..Come live 75 feet from the gentle roar of the  white water and scenic waterway. You may see deer crossing the 200 ft wide stream from the deck or large window looking up stream.   Local wildlife include deer ,turkeys, beaver, bunnies, bald eagles, squirrels and an occasional moose.

I'm a single camp owner who will go out of my way to provide you with the extra information based on your  families interests and abilities  to make your stay a great one.  Things like local scenic info, good  places to fish, local waterfalls,  recommended hiking  trails, white water rafting, etc..However A guide book is furnished ( Delorme's) with an endless list of places and things to do within it , such as Unique natural areas, Scenic waterfalls, Beaches, Parks ,Recreation areas, Lighthouses, Hiking trails, and much more. This is a great area all 4 seasons, rather your day hiking , summer vacationing, here for the worlds best fall foilage, or just need a scenic relaxed atmosphere to read a book. Fall big game hunting or snowmobiling are other options ( There is a  connecting snowmobile link from the cabin to the I.T.S. trails  and ATV  trails but because its  private  property and not part of the trail system , you wont see any other recreational vechicles near the cabin.)

     This region of Maine ( Abbot Village ) is away from the hustle and bustle and commercialism of other parts of the State. This is truly ' LIFE AS IT OUGHT TO BE ". Abbot Village is a small friendly town ( with one convenience store and one bakery, 2 crafts shops and ice cream place)  that sits near the exact center 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.
    I own about 100 acres here and this  cabin is on the backside of my property  but on the  front side  ( 1/2 mile away from the cabin )  I do have a mobile home in good shape that I rent for even less per week.-  it is  listed in the  index as  ADDITIONAL RENTAL PROPERTY. . My camp is complete with all except washer and dryer. . . Many photos, full description of both locations, things to do page, and availability calendars on this  web site, average email response time 1 - 3 hours, often minutes.

 
   AND YES ladies it does have inside plumbing !

MAINE'S WINTER WONDERLAND - UPSTREAM

Hi.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my site.
.. The purpose of this site is to get you the information that you will want, in reference to a camp , cottage or cabin rental, all in one spot. This section is for personal stuff, but you're here for camp rental info. - so I'll be brief. Betty, my wife, and I have two children, Mark & Michelle, both in their mid  thirties now.  One now a mother of two great kids , the other a registered  Maine Guide and still single
.. We were fortunate enough to have a choice where to raise our family , we made the choice of country life as opposed to a town. We made the right decision , they have grown up as responsible adults.
.. One of the things we did when we moved up to this farm was to start cutting each years firewood in a straight line right toward the river. Its 6 tenths of a mile back .(this is a 100 acre lot ) Gradually as we built a road down there ,we realized that this is a perfect place for a camp / cabin . So with family and friends that's what we did.
..In 2006 we started to rent  it as a  vacation spot , we  installed  electrical appliances, satilite dish ,drilled well , septic  system  for  protential guests and  now  we rent it out 4 seasons as income.

You can't go anywhere on the net without a commercial, well, this is mine,  it's not relevent to the camp rental ......(for more on the camp  use the index at the top of the page or the last link down on this page  ..........
a click on THIS PICTURE  (above) will take you to a back page
 
I also offer a great  commercial business opportunity,  right here in central Maine .  A soft serve ice-cream , fast food shop , in a recreational area,  and a 3- 4 bedroom  house and garage / barn all on the same lot,  (TWO BUILDINGS )  priced right @ $149.000.  info - pictures on my last  2 pages .    Take a look , as an investment, just as a rental value they could pay for themselves in about  13 years or less.      Because Ice-cream dont sell well in the winter, the shop was converted to a 2 bedroom  apartment for  year round income, thus producing an income , and a  lot less  hours for me! Partial financing available.  One building is a  pre  1900  farm house and the  other built in 1998 is in a  great buisness  location and can be easily converted  back to a buisness front  with room for expansion rather  you want a  doctor's office location , restaurant , crafts shop or sports shop.    These two buildings are located on the edge of town across  from an athletic feild. also about 200 yards from a public beach and boat launch,
