About this property

Rustic Cabin on Maine's Crystal Clear Barker's Pond.

2 Bedrooms, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 6 people.

A little bit about us! We came to this cabin as guests a few years ago and fell, completely, in love with it. When the opportunity came to purchase the property, we knew it was answered prayer. We have always dreamed of a waterfront get-away and this beautiful cabin checks all the boxes! As the new owners we will continue to give excellent hospitality to our guests along with making some upgrades on comfort and accommodations. We have already begun! We are SuperHost's on Airbnb and Premier Hosts on VRBO with our other short term rental property and we are already getting great reviews from the guests who have stayed at the cabin this season!

So, come and enjoy your own private rustic cabin that sits on the banks of a crystal clear spring fed 25 acre pond. 15 steps down to waters edge, take a kayak ride out for a calming naturalistic experience. Enjoy fishing in the twice annually stocked pond. Take a swim in the refreshing, spring fed, crystal clear waters. Gather with family and friends around the open pit campfire and toast yourself a marshmallow or hotdog for an evening snack. Firewood and first case of bottled water provided.

This cabin is fully equipped with many amenities that exceed above and beyond most seasonal rentals. Fully supplied kitchen w/open concept Dining Room/Living Room, and two private Bedrooms. Sleeping accommodations for 6 people. View our pond thru windows w/ screens from three sides of cabin revealing the beautiful Barkers Pond.

This rustic cabin makes you feel a world away from every day stresses and allows you to feel close to the outdoors, giving you a camp-like feeling in Maine's woods. However, you are so close to Maine's coastline if you wish to explore all that Southern Maine has to offer. We have a handy local attractions guide listing all the popular tourist sites.

Basically pack your overnight bag and plan on enjoying a time you and your special ones will cherish for a lifetime.

There are 2 bedrooms. One with a queen size bed. The other with 2 twin beds.
The living area is a spacious open concept with ample kitchen area : 2 single beds are in the living space by the window overlooking the water., plus a roll-away cot if needed. The new sofa is large enough and comfortable enough to make up as a single sleeping area.

****2021 Upgrades: NEW bedding, NEW window treatments, New dishes and silverware, NEW comforters, sheets and pillows NEW vegan leather lodge sofa, NEW refrigerator, NEW charcoal grill, NEW handmade picnic table and umbrella, NEW beautiful locally handcrafted bedroom doors. NEW cord free window blinds, NEW board games, NEW large smart TV. NEW Old Town Kayaks and Paddles and life jackets.

We had an amazing time at the cabin. Was just as advertised and was just so much more beautiful in person. Right on the water and the view was just breathtaking. 100% recommend.

Wonderful stay!
We loved our long weekend at the lake camp! It was the perfect home base for a few people in our group who were doing the MS Ride in Biddeford. We swam in the lake, went kayaking, sat around the firepit, and enjoyed the views from the lovely wall of windows. The owners could not be nicer, and even gave us fresh eggs from their chickens! We would recommend this lake camp to others. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Relax with Nature
We had a wonderful week relaxing with nature. The cabin was so rustic and cute and was clean from top to bottom. We had a peaceful week swimming and kayaking on the pond, and enjoyed hearing the loon and seeing the hummingbirds. If you are looking for action and excitement with all the bells and whistles, this is not the place for you! The cabin's setting is peaceful and relaxing. Although there are other cabins close by, we never heard any noise from them. My granddaughter loved talking to the chickens and looking for eggs in the mornings. My grandsons loved diving off the dock and swimming in the pond. The cabin was well stocked with every kitchen convenience and the host provided toiletries in case you forgot to bring them. The hosts were available, responsive and thoughtful. We would recommend this cabin to anyone wanting a peaceful, relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Karin and Dan

Outdoors was amazing. Indoor not so much.
The outdoors and view was amazing. But the cottage had a bad mice infestation. The first day we arrived. There was a mouse in the room and emails trap. So the owners knew that there were mice because there was a mouse trap. Throughout this day, more mice were in the home, climbing up and down the walls and running around the house nonchalantly. the bathroom smelt like a urinal and the water just kept running nonstop. The cottage was not as clean as it should have been before we arrived, and they were crumbs upon our revival on the counter. Not to mention it was extremely hot with no air circulation and no AC. We had to leave a day early because the mice infestation was so bad.
