About this property
Last escape before holidays-privacy-hot tub-lakeside log cabin for 6, 3bed 2bath
Last few days of the season at beautiful lakeside log cabin: peace and privacy, colorful foliage, great fishing, hiking: 3 level home w/3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, hot tub, canoe & kayaks, firepit. Fast 1 GIG WiFi. 6 guests, 5 beds. Ok for one dog, non-shed breed please! Aug.'25 guest says: "the morning fog was so beautiful I could barely see the house across the lake..not a human noise for hours as I watched the world unfold!"
Ten minutes to Farmington, charming university town: good supermarkets, restaurants, movies, icecream parlor. Quiet, beautiful rural area for outdoor lovers. Many day trips within easy reach.
Guests love the beautiful scenery - fall foliage, quiet environment, range of activities: early morning fishing (Aug & Sept guests have had great success with some big bass!) or watching the wildlife while soaking in the hot tub. Many hiking trailheads nearby; Maine registered Guide also nearby to add value to your woods hiking experiences or teach you fly-fishing! Maine Cabin Masters just 30 mins away, Bangor and Stephen King House 90 minutes, Portland Head Lighthouse, Portland Museum of Art also 90 minutes.
Note: Kiwi Lodge is in an unspoilt rural area of dairy farms and woods - this is not a tourist location! In the fall you may hear the neighbors sawing wood for the winter or the screech of a loon. Not much else! Nearby Farmington and Wilton have good but casual style dining options. Lots of lobster, ready steamed if you want, fresh scallops from Hannaford and very flavorful farm-raised beef, pork or lamb from many nearby farms that sell their produce direct to you! Free range eggs sold in many places, fresh produce, apples.
Inside Kiwi Lodge: Main floor has large kitchen and dining area, with comfortable living room on other side and full bathroom in between. Two bedrooms and second full bathroom upstairs. Another bedroom and family room downstairs.
Ceiling fans and 17 windows for cross ventilation and log walls to keep heat out in summer and hold it in during cooler fall evenings. Efficient central heating.
Kitchen pantry cupboard has all essentials: flour, sugar, oil, spices and much more. Comfortable seating in living room, large smart TV, many books, games & puzzles, movies. Small foosball in family room. Volleyball net on lawn. 4 kayaks, canoe, paddleboat, inflatables.
Washer, dryer. Quality bedding and towels included.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kay
Our family has been hosting for years now. We love it! Our regular guests have become friends, as we've met and talked over the years. Even if we don't meet in person, learning about our guests through our communications is deeply rewarding. I grew up in a farm community where everyone knew everyone, so rural Maine feels like home. I left my native New Zealand with plans to travel widely and after doing that, ended up living in a big city in the US, so after the demands of urban life, it was a joy to find this wonderful log house. It has become a precious retreat for our family. Great neighbors, helpful and friendly. Endless outdoor activities. The Maine culinary and farm cultures are constantly evolving, enhancing the quality of life. We love to stop by the roadside stands for fresh vegetables, fruit, grass-fed beef, home-made organic bread, free range eggs! The farm to table movement just keeps growing in Maine. The local supermarket is great; the local Gifford's ice cream parlor pulls us in; the library selection is as good as the wonderful staff - I could go on, but come and find out for yourself!
Why they chose this property
The moment we saw the house, we loved it! As soon as we stepped inside and saw its charm and excellent design, we knew that this was the special family retreat we had dreamed of. Peace and privacy with super friendly neighbors as well - it's an unbeatable combination. We've been here since 2010 and every year we enjoy it more! Every year we find different hiking trails, meet new people, find more historical and sightseeing spots and even better restaurants and roadside stands.
What makes this property unique
What could be better than breakfast on the deck, watching the early morning mist rise from the water and a string of ducklings following mother to their own breakfast. Then there is the decision on whether to have the canoe-kayak race or go fishing or hike to the top of Mt Blue. If the energy level is not high enough, we could visit one of our favorite antique stores in a quaint river town (there are so many nearby) or zip over to Black Acres for some of their richly flavored steak to grill for dinner, unless everyone wants lobster again. We can do a few lengths out to the swim raft and back, or just stretch out in a lounger on the lawn and read to our hearts content. Tomorrow we will go hiking - or maybe just swing in the hammock and not do too much at all!
