Beautiful cabin, peaceful location

We absolutely loved our stay at "the hideaway!" The cabin had everything we needed. Joanne and Andrew were great! Their attention to detail and customer service was wonderful. The cabin was extremely clean and well kept. We enjoyed swimming out to the dock and relaxing in the hot tub. It was such a peaceful stay. We absolutely fell in love with the loons. We would definitely recommend it and can't wait to plan our next trip to "the hideaway."

Vacation week

The place was great, even better than advertised. The owners have thought of everything. It's well appionted and stocked with all the basics. Brook trout are abundant and delicious caught right in front of the huge windows. Snowmobile trail access at the end of the driveway and easy entry onto lake. We highly recommend and hope to return.

Amazing New Year's Stay!

We really enjoyed our New year's stay! The house is amazing: clean, well-equipped and spacious. The views are breathtaking. We really enjoyed the porch and grounds around the house. We were lucky to have snow during New Years. The pond was frozen and beautiful! The fireplace adds to the cosiness of winter say. We hope to be back this summer and then next winter.

Nice view

Loved the cabin. We couldn’t get enough of the view of the lakes each morning and waking to hear loons.

Great stay!

Just two points we would like to make. Originally, our party was to have three individuals. One cancelled several weeks before. Had we had all three, using one shower would have been challenging. Also, when you charge for linens, the guests should not be responsible for washing them, as we were instructed to do. Also, there was no laundry detergent, so we had to go purchase some.

About the host

Hosted by Joanna Bulger

Andrew and Joanna are life long natives of Maine. We take great pride in our log home. Andrew is a master carpenter and general contractor by trade. Together we lovingly built this log home for our family being sure to add all the small touches that make a house a home. We love sharing the home with our guests and hearing about how the setting allows them to enjoy time with their family and friends in peace and quiet.

Why they chose this property

You will love it! Nearly every guest that we have hosted has told us that "the pictures do not do justice" to the beauty of the home. Check out our reviews-our guests say it better than we ever could!

What makes this property unique

Our cabin has all the comforts that we have come to rely on and more while maintaining a classic rustic feel (without the sacrifices!). It's far enough "away from it all" to provide our guests with the opportunity to decompress from daily life, yet it is not too far from stores, hospitals and other necessities.
