Lakeside living in the Maine North Woods! Sleeps up to 8. This classic 1950s camp sits directly on South Twin Lake facing majestic views of Mount Katahdin. Near Millinocket ME, all amenities, + Baxter State Park + Northwoods/Waters National Monument. Boat, fish, swim off the dock or sandy bottomed cove. Best rafting+kayaking in the Northeast on nearby W.Penobscot River. Lots of hiking. The most fun ever! There is a king bed, queen bed, bunk beds, and loft. The space The property is fairly private, sitting on 2 lots and nearly 2 acres of mixed hardwoods. The camp sits directly on South Twin Lake and you feel as if you are aboard a ship as you look out from the master bedroom or great room common area directly north to see the majestic Mount Katahdin - absolutely brilliant in the morning or evening light. The camp is a 1950s traditional Maine camp and decorated to fit. The house is 1000 square feet and quite comfortable. There are three bedrooms (one with a king sized bed, one with a queen, one with bunk beds) and a loft that can easily sleep 4 kids. The great room/common area has a TV, comfortable furniture, a kitchen table and chairs, and a kitchen with brand new stove, refrigerator and other appliances. There is a washer and drier, sink and shower in the bathroom area. We have an on demand hot water heater so there is endless hot water. Coffee, soap and other amenities are provided to ease your way into camp living. The lake has a unique mostly sandy bottom and you can walk out into the lake from "Peggy's Cove." The caretaker is very dependable and lives a few miles away. Guest access You can drive right to the property. There is also plentiful parking right next to the camp. If you bring your own boat, you can put in at a nearby public access ramp and float over to the camp from there. There is plentiful walking on trails and forest roads directly from the camp. The setting has a remote wilderness feel but you are just a few miles from all amenities. Most of the lake is surrounded by conservancy area so it is VERY quiet. During the week it can seem like your own private cove! Other things to note This is an amazing camp for relaxing and enjoying oneself and others. It also offers top-notch fishing, and swimming. In fall, there is no place better for Maine leaf looking! If you like to whitewater raft or kayak, you are in the best place for that in New England. There are also multiple places on the property where you can sit on your own to write, make art, read, or just contemplate the universe! COME VISIT IN THE AUTUMN: *brilliant fall colors from the many deciduous trees around our cove and the lake as a whole (aspen, red/swamp and sugar maple, white and yellow birch, oak, and black ash): the fall is the burnished crown of the year in Central Maine! > *South Twin Lake is 13 square kilometers with an average depth of 30 feet so it stays warm longer than most lakes. Its shoreline is 14 miles long and most of this is conserved, making this a quiet lake with little traffic. > *Our cove is set back and protected, giving a wonderful private feeling > *Beautiful sunsets can be viewed from our camp; Mount Katahdin can be viewed in all its glory across the lake! > *No light pollution so stars fill the sky on clear nights! > *There are over 10 species of fish in the lake including white and yellow perch, brook trout, Atlantic salmon, pickerel, lake whitefish, smallmouth bass and chubs. > *year round dock to sit on, boat or swim from - or bring your own boat to the put in on Route 11 and boat on over. > *fire pit on the shore > *lots of seating right on the shore; chairs of all kinds from Adirondacks to canvas > *Sandy bottomed swimming area > *Warm, cozy cabin Note: no use of fireworks allowed *please keep in mind, you are in the woods, out in the country: there IS wildlife. We hear and see loons and ducks daily, raptors and other birds, turtles and sometimes beavers. There is always the possibility of critters finding their way inside, i.e: mice and even possibly a chipmunk. Even through we try very hard to keep them at bay, it happens* There is a trap under the sink as this seems to be the most common entry for the mice. Camp is deep into the woods. Bring bug repellent. You will come upon deer flies, mosquitoes, black flies, ticks, etc. Although cob webs, spider webs, and dust are kept up with, they are not avoidable. A spider can weave its web in just an hours time. Dust can appear within moments due to dirt road, sand, and being in the woods and on a lake. And yes, there are ducks in the lake and they like to come ashore to visit. Outside premises are under surveillance. Please see safety devices. NO cameras are inside premises.
