About this property

QUINTESSENTIAL MAINE LOG CABIN SET ON GORGEOUS LAKE

Treat yourself to a real Maine experience — stay in a 1800-sq. foot pine log cabin nestled in the woods off a dirt road, on a private lake. This charming log home sits on beautiful Coleman Pond (no public access with an across-the-pond-view of 150 acres of undeveloped conservation land). A private dock awaits you for hours of swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding and floating in tubes.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the porch listening to the call of the loons, curl up in the comfy rope hammock with a good book, or cozy up to the fire pit for campfire songs and s'mores.

This cabin was built with year-round use in mind, and is equipped with a modern kitchen with red painted cabinets, soapstone counters, soapstone farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, and a full-sized washer and dryer. Surf-and-turf feasts are easy to prepare with the propane lobster cooker and Weber gas grill. The cabin has two full bathrooms (one with shower/tub, one with stall shower), a front-loading washer/dryer, high-speed WiFi access, three smart TVs ready to stream your favorite shows, a landline telephone, radiant floor heat, a working glass-front wood stove, and powerful ceiling fans in each bedroom. Dine indoors with dimmed chandelier or outdoors on two picnic tables. The cabin is fully stocked with cooking utensils, pots/pans, glassware, dishes, linens and towels and so much more.

One Old Town Discovery canoe and paddles, two single kayaks, one paddleboard, assorted life jackets, and various inflatable tubes available for renter use. The dock and boats are available during the summer months only... inquire about exact dates they will be out!

Wonderful Vacation

Totally enjoyed staying here, and definitely would book this house again. The kids loved the kayaks, the paddle board and fishing from the dock. It is tucked away in a woodsy, peaceful setting but just a short drive to Camden.

Perfect Retreat

This was a perfect place for us to spend Thanksgiving. Comfortably furnished and had everything we needed. We hope to return someday and enjoy paddling on the beautiful lake in addition to enjoying the lovely view. Close enough to get to restaurants and attractions but a quiet, serene setting.

The perfect lakeside retreat!

If you’re looking for a relaxing lakeside cabin to retreat and relax in nature, this is the one to book! Plenty of space for 6 adults with clean and comfortable rooms. Well stocked kitchen so you can cook up if you want. Lots of thoughtful extras and plenty of firewood. Canoes were lots of fun too! We didn’t want to leave. Also not far from Camden which is the perfect little seaside town. Highly recommend this place to anyone!

Such a beautiful property! Very quiet and peaceful! Spotlessly clean with many small touches for our comfort and enjoyment. Comfy beds, lots of fans and well-stocked kitchen, bathrooms and laundry.Loved the wooden screen doors that slammed shut behind you - reminded me of my childhood stays at our grandparents' cottage.Very thankful for wi-fi calling!Loved spending our mornings on the dock with the sunshine and our coffee warming us as we watched the mist rising on the pond & listened to the loons calling to each other. We fished from the dock every day, catching perch, bass and northern pike. Our sweet little southern daughter-in-law caught a huge bass!We used the campfire pit several times since there was an abundance of dry firewood provided for our use.Would love to stay here again if we're ever back in Maine! Blessings to Carolee and Dan for sharing this beautiful home wih us.

Week in Maine

The cabin (house) is newer and exactly as advertised. It is meticulously clean and well prepared. We enjoyed our stay there and recommend. We used it as base to visit Camden, Bath, Bangor, Augusta etc. The seafood restaurant just down the hill was very good and there are grocery stores not far away. It was a bit cloudy and cool during our stay (mid-June) so we did not spend as much time on the lake out back as we should have. Overall, we have nothing but positive memories from our stay and recommend this property to others.

Calling this place a “quintessential Maine camp” almost feels like an understatement — as if words could ever do it justice. This camp doesn’t just check all the boxes of what you dream a Maine getaway should be; it embodies the very soul of it.From the moment you arrive, you’re wrapped in that unmistakable Maine hush — the whisper of pines, the glimmer of lake water catching the sun, the call of a loon echoing across the still morning. The cabin itself is rustic in the most perfect way, but somehow still impossibly cozy and comfortable, like it was built from a love letter to summer. Everything about it invites you to slow down: mornings with coffee on the porch, afternoons drifting on the water, evenings around the fire as the stars spill across the sky.It’s not just beautiful — it’s restorative. There’s a timelessness here, a kind of magic that makes you forget about clocks, screens, and the outside world. Whether you’re paddling, reading, laughing with friends, or simply doing nothing at all, it all feels exactly right.If you’re searching for the ideal Maine camp experience, know this: you won’t just find it here — you’ll fall in love with it. Quintessential isn’t even adequate. This place is unforgettable.

Maine Getaway

Stayed here a week with friends and did not want to leave. It was charming...from the well appointed cabin nestled in the woods to the awesome firepit to the spectacular view. Leaves were glorious and the quiet was amazing. It was secluded but close enough to many charming places. Camden, Belfast, Bar Harbor and Acadia are all drivable for a nice day. But the star is the beautiful pond! Hosts were lovely and accommodating. I'd like keep this gem to myself as we will definitely be back, but feel the need to say... 5 STARS!

Great family stay!

Great for family stay! Bunk room was large enough for play—we even put up a tent in there for the kids to enjoy The host thought of everything a family might need, bug spray and cotton swabs, games and wi-fi, and a bicycle pump we used for blowing up the float toys! The lake is beautiful and quiet, the location serene, road was just bumpy enough that the baby loved the stroller walks. I LOVED that the fridge and freezer were clean and EMPTY! I did have to rearrange and remove some personal "things" placed decoratively on most surfaces—so as to protect them from the grandkids, and to make a little space for our own collection of cell phones, iPads and baby paraphernalia. Beds were comfortable and there were lots and lots of pillows (a big plus in our family!) All one needs to bring is clothes and food! Everything else is there! A great week. Thank you!

A great place to stay in Maine

The cabin had everything we needed for a week's getaway. Loved that a canoe and kayaks were included so we could get out on the water to explore. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Our only recommendation would be that it would be great if the dock were a little longer since there isn't much room (or sun) to sit on shore. Otherwise, no complaints. Loved our stay at the cabin!

Log Cabin on the Pond

We searched for a cabin on the water in Lincolnville later than usual. This cabin was the only one that was appropriate, though far earlier in the season than we like and more expensive than we've ever paid after renting in this area for almost 50 years.

2nd time here and still loving this place!

This was our 2nd summer staying in this home and it was just as great as the year before! The kids had a blast using the water activities they provide. The house is very clean, plenty of space and very well stocked. Not to mention the location is perfect; close to town, and such a beautiful setting on the lake. The owners really think of everything, and they sure were a pleasure to rent from. I definitely recommend this home for anyone looking for a great vacation in Maine!

What makes this property unique

The location is gorgeous and quiet. Expect to hear loons calling on the lake.
