Legend has it, an ancient Egyptian tribe crossed the Atlantic in search of lobster and good times. Arriving in Maine, they erected a tribute to their ancestral home in the form of a pyramid. Inside the pyramid you will find these mysterious nomads spared no expense recreating the authentic aesthetic of Giza . Archeologists were mystified to find that these travellers added solar power, a tv with netflix and the usual apps, a kitchenette and outdoor shower. A comfy double size bed is found in one corner while a bistro table makes a great place to have a feast or get some work done. A short walk to the river reveals a great fishing, kayaking and swim spot. Egyptians soon learned that swimming meant carefully wading into the water and finding the perfect rock to sit on and drink fermented yummies. The always perfect water is always warm yet refreshing. Nearby, the 95 diner is a great casual spot for breakfast or lunch and the Handystop has great pizzas/subs or grab some fantastic meats and veggies and use the large weber grill outside the pyramid for bbq-ing.The tut hut is a unique pyramid with solar electricity and most appliances inside. It has more comforts than glamping but not as much as a hotel room. Perfect for 1 or 2 guests, possibly a couple with a child. All amenities provided. This is a rustic site with limited electric and a very basic sink, shower and outhouse. The sink water is non potable but bottled drinking water is provided. Fans and a bug light are provided. It is a 1 minute walk to the river.
