Spacious Lakeside Bunkhouse in Heart of Maine

Unique, Special, Authentic Maine Woods Experience! Enjoy this rustic bunkhouse located just steps off the shore of one of Maine's cleanest spring-fed lakes. Good for couples, families, large groups, retreats and more. Tune in to the nature of the Great North Woods to enjoy hiking, boating, fishing (salmon, trout and bass), swimming, kayaking, mushroom hunting and gorgeous sunsets. Full kitchen, living room, wifi, upstairs bedroom sleeps 8, large deck/terrace leads right down to the water. The space Rare experience to be in "Unorganized Territory" of Maine, on a crystal clear lake that has limited development (it's now part of a conservation easement). The Bunkhouse is owned by The BARKA Foundation, a 501c3 charitable organization that drills wells, constructs latrines, and empowers women and girls in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Funds from the rental of the Bunkhouse go directly to helping BARKA fulfill its mission! Check out more information at https://barkafoundation.org. Guest access Brand new barbecue grill available on the deck overlooking the lake, free parking, and we have 2 kayaks and 1 paddleboard for rent (if you need more you can also rent at the Ski Rack in Bangor). Wifi is now available; it's also an ideal place to unplug and reconnect to nature! Cell phone service is spotty-- Verizon and US Cellular work best providing 1-3 bars, ATT not so much. A chiminea is available for safe outdoor fires (depending on Maine Forestry conditions/restrictions), however we ask that you use extreme fire saftey at all times because we live in an area vulnerable to forest fire (the ground is largely peat and fire can spread underground). Other things to note Please note that the bunkhouse does not have a bathroom however comes equipped with a clean and comfortable outhouse. There is also a shower stall to take a bucket shower. The bunkhouse has cold lake water to the kitchen sink and no hot water heater. However we provide a large pot to heat water up for bucket showers which are really fun and has a way of raising your water consciousness!
