Great canoe-accessible cabin in the woods

Like the description says, there’s parking off a dirt road then about a 10 minute canoe ride to the property. My kids enjoyed the canoeing, it was an adventure when getting back at night but for us it was a lot of fun. The cabin is beautiful and offers a lot of amenities but it’s solar powered and fresh drinking water comes from bottles. There’s a sink for washing hands and dishes but it’s non-potable water. If you have camped and are used to canoeing and dealing with water at camp, it’s very accommodating and a great time. Not recommended for those looking for fully modern cabins with AC and anything car accessible. Pat and Bethany are great hosts and we always, are nearby and reachable, and we always had everything we needed. Had a great week!

Tranquil Wilderness Cabin

My daughter and enjoyed a peaceful week long stay on this great property. The short trips in the homemade wooden canoe were fun and the property was close to a lot of other great locations. I am planning on bringing the whole family next year.

Beautiful property, excellent family vacation.

This was exactly what my family and I were looking for property is set on the river with boat access only. Just a short boat ride from the secure parking area and you feel as though you are the only ones around. But don't worry about being any secluded if that's not your thing down it's just a short drive and has much to do. The house itself is beautiful. No shortage on beds or space. And if you forgot anything chances are they had it. The the fishing was a blast,

Relaxing stay at a quiet, pretty spot

My husband and I totally relaxed during our stay at Pat and Bethany’s cabin. We loved using the canoe daily and saw fish, eagles, osprey, blue heron and more! It felt good to get a break from TV, cable and internet (though access is available on your cell phone). The cabin is well maintained and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Pat and Bethany were very helpful and available to bring our belongings to and from the cabin. The cabin is located a 5 minute canoe trip from the dock, but also only 10 minutes from Gardiner with it’s pretty waterfront, shops and grocery store. Relaxing on the dock in the afternoon with a book was fantastic. It was a much appreciated rejuvenating stay. The bottle of wine to welcome us was also appreciated!

Nice place

Enjoyed our stay... it was close enough to town that it was convenient, and far enough away that you had privacy... good bass fishing!

About the host

Hosted by Pat & Bethany Sirois

We live on the same watershed as the cabin. We have lived in this area all of our lives. The property has been in our family since 1972. We enjoy the outdoors and the camp has afforded our family fun, relaxation and great memories.

Why they chose this property

Despite being close to communities and highways, the cabin is very private and quiet. There are moose, deer, turkeys, eagles, osprey, beavers, coyotes, bobcats and fish galore. It is as if you are in the remote areas of northern Maine, but you are only a short boat and car ride to see a movie or go to dinner or a pub. It is really a special place.
