This cabin was built by the original owners in the 1960's as a temporary shelter. They never got around to building a more permanent dwelling and instead used it for many years as a rustic camp site. We purchased the land and the cabin 10 years ago. Rather than tear down the old cabin we began rehabbing it 2020 to enjoy ourselves and share with others. We were in the process of building a new modern camp on the property but had a major fire there in the fall of 2022 totally burning the new house and the surrounding trees. We are in the process of cleaning that up but you will se the evidence of the fire when you arrive. Fortunately it will not affect your experience at the cabin. We love this location and we think you will too. Learn more about this land: Enjoy the privacy of a rustic cabin 10 feet from the shore of Amabjejus Lake. Take in gorgeous sunsets on this west facing waterfront looking across the lake to the historic Ambajejus Boom House. Listen to loons at night and see bald eagles flying overhead during the day. The cabin is furnished with a full size bed and a toddler bed, a table and 4 chairs. A mattress pad and fitted sheet will be provided but you will need to bring your own linens or sleeping bags and pillows. There is a picnic table, fire ring and a tent site for up to a 4 person tent. There is an outhouse which you will share with the owner if present. This cabin was built in the 1960's by the original landowner to be a temporary shelter. We purchased the land 10 years ago and are in the process of building a larger camp on this 1 acre property. You will have your own private waterfront area. There is a also a small sandy beach and a swim dock that you are welcome to use but may share with owners if they are on the property. Canoes, paddles and lifejackets are available to use. The southern entrance to Baxter State Park is only 10 miles away. The owners will be sensitive to your privacy but may be working on the property nearby during your stay. Guests are limited to 4 people. We love children and have 5 of our own. If you are a couple with more than 2 children (or a single parent with more than 3) please contact us. We would love to accomodate you if possible. One final note. In November 2022 we suffered a fire to the main structure that we were building on the property. As a result campers who come in 2023 will see a foundation and evidence of burned trees around the location of the burned building. The cabin and surrounding area suffered no damage and there will be no change to the appearance and view of your stay except going to and from your vehicle.

Beautiful sunsets!

I had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It sits looking westward across the lake, which gives beautiful sunset views. They have canoes for you to make the best of your time. It is also fairly close to Baxter State Park and to the town. Overall, this place exceeds expectations!

Absolutely amazing!

Absolutely stunning! The cabin was well kept and the bed was extremely comfortable. It was just what we needed after a few days in a tent! We were able to take the canoe out and explore the lake which was amazing! While out on the water we were able to get a perfect clear view of Mt. Katahdin that was blocked by the trees at the site. The Ambajejus Boomhouse was not open but it was fun to explore the area and learn some history! The drive in was very easy to navigate but be cautious, the roads do get very narrow so drive slow and be extra aware. Definitely recommend this site, we are already planning our next stay!!

Ian was a great and communicative host, directions were clear and the dirt roads were a lot better to navigate than I expected! The cabin was lovely and the fire pit was great, there was a grill grate that we used to cook corn on the cob over the fire :) would have loved to stay longer, definitely coming back!

Perfect Maine Camp Experience

Beautiful spot, great area for paddling. Close to the park and access into other wilderness and conservation areas. Easy to get to and secluded. Clean and well laid out.
