About this property

Bear's Den 1 Bed/1 Bath Charming Rustic Log Cabin

The wind softly whistles through the pines as the river flows past. Welcome to paradise on the Penobscot River: Bear’s Den. Rumor has it that Henry David Thoreau passed by this unique property en route to Mt. Katahdin.

A cozy, rustic, 1 bedroom/1 bath log cabin (sleeps 4) await you as you enter the Gateway to the Northern Maine Woods. With close proximity to Baxter State Park, Mt. Katahdin, the Appalachian Trail and so much more…you’ll experience all-season outdoor fun. And, just steps away from your cabin, you'll find great fishing in the river.

Enjoy traditional activities such as: canoeing, kayaking, hiking, bird watching, fishing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling on designated trails. Or simply relax on the grounds, watching the river flow past while keeping an eye out for the eagles that love to rest in the treetops.

This is a prime spot, media-free yet WI-FI enabled, to use as a base camp for hiking and exploring the Katahdin area! So, don’t wait and book now. You’re sure to love it as much as we do!

    This is a must yearly tradition spot!

    Cozy cabin right on the Penobscot river. You can't beat the location and the fishing is spectacular! Enjoy a quick walk down to the water as well have your fire pit and grill right outside your cabin. The property manager was super responsive at all times of the day and night to help us enjoy our stay. We will definitely be making this spot a yearly tradition when visiting Maine!
