Escape to the Heart of Northern Maine Outdoors: Where Wilderness Meets Comfort
Leave the hustle and bustle behind and immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of Northern Maine, where rugged outdoors and unspoiled nature await. Hike, bike, or ATV through the vast wilderness, explore pristine swimming lakes, and experience the thrill of the great outdoors. Yet, after a day of adventure, retreat to our cozy cabin, where comfort and warmth envelop you. As night falls, enjoy the breathtaking views of the star-filled sky, as our location is considered one of the best places for stargazing in the US.
Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen with high-quality utensils, pots, and pans, including a lobster boiling pot, and all the modern appliances you need. After a busy day full of adventures, the kids will enjoy the custom bunk beds, while parents appreciate comfortable queen mattress in the master bedroom, complete with luxurious linen sets. A full bath and all the amenities you need to feel at home are also at your disposal.
But the real magic happens outside! Roast marshmallows at our rustic fire pit, where we've provided complementary firewood, marshmallows, and skewers. Enjoy an outdoor cookout on our Blackstone griddle or gas grill, with fresh bison meat available just a quarter mile away at a local farm. Explore the Northern woods on our property, crisscrossed with old tree logging trails, where you might even stumble upon a tiny trout brook!
And, for our eco-conscious guests, we offer a 220V 50 Amp EV charging outlet on the side of the cabin, making our retreat an ideal destination for those with electric cars. This rare amenity in Northern Maine will give you the freedom to explore the region without worrying about charging your vehicle. We've also designed our cabin with sustainability in mind, incorporating locally sourced and renewable building materials, LED lighting and a grey water recycling system, to minimize our impact on the environment.
As you settle into our cabin, you'll have the perfect opportunity to unplug and recharge. We've intentionally chosen not to provide Wi-Fi, allowing you to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature and your loved ones. Without the distractions, you can focus on the things that truly matter: spending quality time with family and friends, finally playing that long-forgotten board game, exploring the great outdoors, and rejuvenating your mind and body. And don't worry - in case of a “digital emergency” - our location is right next to ta cell tower with a solid signal, and the local libraries provide reliable internet access.
Our cabin is perfectly situated for easy access to a wide range of activities and attractions, including:
• Historic Houlton with unique shops, movie theater and Houlton Farms Ice Cream (15 min)
• Presque Isle - college town with shops, trails, river landing park and recreation complex (1 hour)
• ATV and biking trails (10 min)
• Pristine lakes: Pleasant Pond, Mattawamkeag, Spaulding, Timoney, Meduxnekeag (5-15 min)
• Amish baked goods, meat, and produce stands (5-10 min)
• Baxter and Aroostook State Parks (1 hour) and Acadia National Park (2 hours)
• Sugarloaf Mountain hiking trail (45 min); Waterfall trails: Warren, Upper/Lower, Shin Falls (25-45 min)
• Va-Jo-Wa Golf Resort, also featuring summer outdoor concerts and events (15 min)
• Shopping: Walmart, Mardens, Hannaford (15 min); Antiques (5-15 min); Local souvenirs (5-15 min)
• Hidden Spring Winery and Tours (30 minutes); Spring Break Maple Farms Store and Tours (10 min)
• Canada crossing (20 min)
We've curated this list to help you make the most of your stay and experience all that Northern Maine has to offer (see more info in your welcome package). As a family of six, we've created countless memories in this cabin and are now excited to share this experience with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions about the area or our property. We're committed to making your stay unforgettable and look forward to welcoming you to our little slice of Northern Maine heaven!

About the host
Hosted by Vladimir Vascisin
We're a family of outdoor enthusiasts, and Northern Maine is our paradise. With its vast wilderness, pristine lakes, and endless trails, this region has everything we've ever wanted for our adventures. Over the years, we've created unforgettable memories exploring this beautiful region. We've hiked to the summit of Katahdin, splashed in the crystal-clear waters of surrounding lakes, and keep on discovering ever-new trails on our bikes and four-wheelers.
But what's made our experiences even more special is the warm and welcoming community that surrounds us. Our neighbors, from the local farmers and artisans to the shopkeepers, have become like family to us. We've had the pleasure of getting to know the Amish community, who have shared their wisdom, kindness, and delicious produce and homemade treats with us. We've enjoyed many lovely evenings with our neighbors together, savoring homemade ice cream and blueberry pie under the starriest skies in the country. But it's not just the people who made us feel at home - it's the entire region's strong sense of solid values, support and strength of community.
Our cabin, which we've lovingly maintained and improved over the years, is more than just a vacation home - it's a reflection of our love for this region and our desire to share it with others. We've poured our hearts into making it the perfect retreat for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike, and we're excited to now open its doors to you. As we continue to make new memories and improvements to the property, we invite you to join us on this journey. Stay tuned as we keep on making new enhancements every year, and we hope you'll enjoy your stay at our little slice of Northern Maine heaven as much as we have.
Whether you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, reconnect with nature, or simply spend quality time with your loved ones, we're trust our cabin and the surrounding area will capture your heart, just as they have ours.

What makes this property unique
Our place uniquely combines the true feel of "camping in the woods" with modern comforts. While surrounded by woods, enjoy open fires with complimentary firewood, marshmallows, and skewers, and outdoor grilling and dining under the breathtaking Northern skies, in a location considered one of the best places for stargazing in the US. You'll appreciate the property's large lot, which offers easy access and parking for RVs and larger vehicles, as well as the opportunity to explore 10 acres of backwoods, featuring abundant wildlife, old logging trails, and even a small trout brook. Then, step inside and indulge in our cozy cabin's modern amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen, coffee/tea bar, comfortable bedding, and full bathroom with all the supplies needed for a comfortable stay.
We also provide a 220V 50 Amp EV charging outdoor outlet, making our retreat an ideal destination for those with electric cars. This rare amenity in Northern Maine gives you the freedom to explore the region without worrying about charging your vehicle. As we wish to share this area with future generations in its most pristine form, we've made our cabin sustainable with eco-friendly features such as locally sourced renewable materials, LED lighting, and a grey water recycling system.
With very easy access to local attractions, located just off I-95 and most within 15 minutes from our cabin, as well as a variety of great food options, Amish goods and produce, and unique shopping experiences, and only 20 minutes from Canada, our cabin offers the perfect blend of adventure and convenience. Can't wait to host you here!
