Step away from the cell phone, computer and hustle of life and relax in the beauty and peace of the Maine woods and waters. The fishing is some of the best in the state! Bring your boat or kayak to wander the lake which adjoins other lakes and the Grand Falls Flowage. Grand Lake Stream for fly fishing is 12 miles away. Please read ALL info about this listing BEFORE you book. This will ensure you are aware of any restrictions here and any information you might need to know about the cabin. This cabin is my second home and I ask you to treasure it with respect and care as I do. Absolutely NO smoking/vaping allowed in the cabin at all and NO smoking anywhere on this property. You must bring your own sheets, pillowcases and bath towels. The cabin has all amenities on the second floor. Garage/laundry is on the first floor. I do have pets, but in case of allergy issues for guests, I ask you to leave yours at home. (Too many issues in the past prompted this policy and I make NO exceptions.) There is an outdoor fireplace or a grill for cookouts. In town, 1 mile away, is a very nice grocery store and an Ace hardware should you need a license to fish. Also most of the stores uptown carry bundles of firewood in case our supply is low. If you run out of gas for the grill you can usually get it refilled in town. Please clean the grill after your use for the next guest. There are 7 acres with this house but if you're not familiar with the woods stay within sight of the cabin. The woods are thick and we do have bear, lynx, bobcats and moose. As you come down the driveway and face the lake my land runs to the right of the cabin. The property line is very close to the house on the left and that neighbor likes his privacy. All of my neighbors like their peace and quiet so we ask you to not run any 4 wheelers or motorcycles up and down the driveway. You are apt to hear the loons, eagles and owls frequently, especially in the early morning or evening hours. Also the Milky Way and shooting stars are easily seen in the clear night air. Washer and dryer are downstairs, living quarters are all upstairs. You will need to bring all of your own food and beverages, sheets, and towels, and kindly take ALL of your leftovers with you. You may notice some food supplies and beverages here. They belong to my family as we are here quite often year around. As most of the electricity in the house is supported by solar we do not have a microwave which does take quite a bit of electricity. Because the cabin is mostly solar I ask you to be mindful of leaving lights and fans on if not in use. (I would rather not pay for electricity.) There is a drip coffee maker in the kitchen, as well as a toaster oven. You are stepping back in time a bit here but that’s the way my family likes it. You also may notice security cameras outside and in certain places in the cabin. Theft of some of my property has forced this. There are no cameras in any private areas. I appreciate you leaving the blankets and quilts on the beds and not on the floor and doing up and putting away all your dishes before you depart. If you move anything inside or outside please place it back before you leave. Clean up anything spilled and if something breaks please let me know. Leaving the cabin and yard as neat and clean as you found it keeps our costs down all around and I appreciate your help with this. On your departure day I ask that you are out if the cabin by 11 AM please. IF you are around, trash goes out to the end of the driveway early on Tuesdays. My housekeeper will return the barrels back to the cabin. My dock is usually in the water from late May until mid September so you are welcome to bring your boats or kayaks. If you like to fish bring your tackle, we have a large variety of fish in this lake and nearby waters. There is no hunting/trapping allowed anywhere on my property. I do have internet available. Once your reservation is confirmed I will give you my email address and cell phone number in case you have questions or concerns. My neighbor does keep an eye on things while I am away and she is also my housekeeper so I have someone who can help if needed for further information. This is a very quiet area but easily accessible to the ocean or hiking trails. There are some restaurants and a golf course in Calais. Eastport is about 45 minutes from the cabin, with whale watching tours and eclectic shops to explore. Baxter state park is about three hours away. And Acadia is about 2 hours away from here. Only folks over 21 making reservations please, and no adult may make a reservation for someone under 21. Only make reservations for yourself. If you are not staying at the cabin, the person staying has to make their own reservations. Please, No loud parties. I also have security cameras inside and outside though not in any private area of course. Theft and destruction of some of my personal things from the cabin has forced this. This is a year around home that is heated by a solar system in the floor. I also use solar for most of the electric so I ask that you be mindful of any electronic devices being left on continually or overnight. But for those long nights in the winter we are on the grid with a generator backup system if needed. Please do NOT touch any water or heat settings as they are preset. If you find that the preset temperatures are not suitable please contact me directly. As you leave the cabin, even briefly, turn off all lights and fans and unplug kitchen appliances. You may notice an orange color in the bathroom shower and sink and in the kitchen. Large amounts of sulfur in the water is to blame. Internet is now available, instructions are on the side of the refrigerator. I also have a wall mounted television with a DVD player and you may bring your computer to hook up to the TV if you like. There are movies to view in the red cabinet underneath the television.
