About this property
Rustic Lakeside Camp with an Amazing View
After a year's worth of renovations due to a devastating flood resulting from a frozen pipe, we're *almost* ready to welcome guests back to 27 Sparrow. We thank our long-time guests for keeping tabs and we're so grateful for your patience. Summer of 2023 brings so many great improvements, including a reconfigured living room, new windows and doors, new furniture, and a whole new kitchen with a full-sized stove and dishwasher! We are so excited to share these changes with you. For for frequent guests, no more drawers that mysteriously open in the night! No more kitchen cabinets that throw things out onto the counter, but still the same rustic camp with direct lake access you've come to appreciate. We're still waiting on countertops, which we expect to be installed by the end of May, but wanted to make our place available for the summer season 2023.
Welcome to our lakeside camp in the heart of Central Maine! Located on the shores of Big Indian Lake in St. Albans, ME, our home has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a large living room, and a newly remodeled kitchen. We've just completed tons of upgrades to take advantage of this quite, comfortable spot to enjoy a fantastic view in a great location for fishing, boating, or just relaxing and listening to the loons call.
There are two bedrooms upstairs; one has a queen-sized bed with a large picture window facing the lake, the other has twin bunk beds with a lake-facing balcony. The third bedroom is downstairs and has a queen-sized bed with a sliding door right out onto the deck.
If you're interested in fishing, the lake is home to bass, perch, bluegill, and pickerel all catchable from shore or off our dock. There is also a canoe and kayaks available for use if you'd like to get out onto the lake.
The camp is about 45 minutes from Bangor, 1 hour and 45 minutes from Portland, and 2 hours from Bar Harbor.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Emily Macdonald
The camp at 27 Sparrow Drive has been in the family since the lot was purchased in 1987. Upon initial inspection of the single-wide trailer that occupied the current location of the camp, my husband, who was 10 years old at the time, declared "this place is a dump!"
He wasn't wrong, but in the last 5 years, our family has made an intentional effort to make things SO MUCH better while still retaining the cozy, rustic feel of the place. After a catastrophic flood in January 2022, we embarked on our biggest renovation yet, with a whole new kitchen, dining room, and living room.
Why they chose this property
Our camp has an absolutely amazing view of the western skyline, which makes for spectacular sunset and evenings by the fire. The location is quiet, and secluded, yet only a mile from the general store in St. Albans and 10 miles from the shopping center in Newport, ME. We're an hour and a half from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, ME.
What makes this property unique
We offer a completely newly remodeled kitchen, with new appliance including a full size gas range and dishwasher, and fridge and microwave. Your rental includes access to a canoe and kayaks with a variety of sized life jackets ranging from infant to size adult XXL.
