This is a wonderful, cozy little cabin that is remote enough to be private and peaceful, but close enough to town to be convenient as well. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Larry Goldsmith

Host profile image
I am originally from northern New Jersey, though I did live in New Zealand for over five years, but have resided in Skowhegan Maine for now thirty three years now. In the twelve plus years I have opened my cabin to the public, there have been over a thousand visitors and hundreds of wonderfully positive reviews, from guest from all around the world.

Why they chose this property

I have always felt lucky to live where I do, not only because of the wildlife which abounds, or the countryside view from the backyard, but to have all this, but at the same time be only a few short minutes from town is truly having the best of both possible worlds.

What makes this property unique

This is a sprawling property, in a very quiet neighborhood, where children and dogs can play, parents and relax and have their own space, whether its sitting on one of the rocking chairs on the porch, enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee on the couch, while using the high speed fiber optic network, or sitting by a campfire, beneath a star filled sky at night.
