I was looking to recharge my batteries in the woods of western Maine and this cabin was just the spot to do so. It's perched (and I do mean perched) on a ledge and offers *stunning* views of the surrounding hills - especially during peak foliage time. The cabin is well-built and tidy, with everything you need to hunker down and unwind. Being completely off-grid, nothing was lacking. Everything is powered by propane (no electrical outlets, so I made sure to have a good supply of batteries), and the propane-powered lights kept the whole place super cozy and warm. The outhouse was the *tidiest* I have ever used (and I'm no stranger to these) and the outdoor shower - especially on a brisk 38-degree morning - was invigorating (I really could have spent all morning there, surrounded by woods and nature, just lovely). The Appalachian Trail is only a few minutes' trek up the road (to Dunn Falls - still spectacular despite the recent drought) and other natural wonders were close by (Mahoosuc Public Reserve Lands, Old Speck, Grafton Notch State Park, Umbagog NWR, Mt. Blue State Park). The dogs were thrilled to run around the woods and splash in the nearby streams, and our daily hiking adventures meant they were plenty tired at the end of every day. Our hosts, Beth and John, were so kind to check in regularly throughout our stay (to see if I needed fresh drinking water, firewood, etc.) and were communicative throughout, from the booking all the way to check-out. John was very thorough in helping me get set up in the cabin, taking time to explain how things like the outdoor shower and propane lights worked. It is clear how much they love and care for the place. I left my retreat feeling refreshed but ready to return as soon as possible. Thank you, Beth and John!
