100 Mile Wilderness Cabin
True Maine "upta" camp experience.
We had a great time staying at the cabin. Cabin is truly private, we did not see or hear another person the entire time we were there. We enjoyed sitting around the fire and making a short trek up the hill at night to see the full moon rise. Its a great place to do some stargazing. It is centrally located to a lot of outdoor activities. The camp is very rustic, there is no electricity or running water, Paul left plenty of water for our stay. There is cell phone service. There are gas lights and a gas stove for cooking. There is also plenty of wood for the woodstove or fire pit. Would definitely stay here again.

100 Mile Wilderness Cabin
Amazing Place, Wonderful Experience
I absolutely loved my stay at Paul’s cabin! It was super private, quiet, and peaceful - exactly what I was looking for. There were also so many beautiful places in the area to explore. Paul has a binder providing these great places to visit with detailed directions on how to get there. You can even walk to the AT and a beautiful pond right from the cabin! Paul was an amazing host who provided everything I needed for an easy camping trip. He even brought over an area rug for my senior dog so he wouldn’t slip on the floor! That made a huge difference for my dog. He was much more comfortable in the cabin after that, which made us both very happy. There was plenty of water, firewood, kindling, and even fire starters and lanterns with extra batteries. The cooler he has for longer stays was great as well. Much better than the cooler I had brought. I was there for 4 nights and it kept everything cold with just one block of ice, which Paul suggested I get. I also loved the propane lights! They made the cabin so cozy at night. I had an amazing stay here and can’t wait to go back!

We had a fun, chill time.
Paul was very quick to respond to all our questions. The cabin is cute and cozy. We liked that there were two toilets, even though one of them we had to dump out ourselves. We didn’t try out the shower. We liked that there were already some battery operated lanterns hanging in the rooms. We loved hanging out by the wood stove and playing scrabble. If I could change two things, I would put an updated bed frame and mattress and a good lock on the front door. Paul had a binder with information on what to do locally and when we needed more water he had it sent over ASAP on an ATV. There is beautiful star gazing just past the driveway. We had a really fun, chill time!

Secluded getaway near the AT
A wonderfully rustic, secluded camp near the AT 100 mile wilderness and 2 ponds. Propane lights and stove with water and firewood provided. A great place to get away from it all. Our dog loved roaming the property and hiking off leash.

Private perfect cabin!
This is our second time staying in the past 2 years. Really enjoy the location and amenities provided by Paul. The upgraded shower and toilet structure is a nice addition. We took advantage of the canoe at the North Pond. Really enjoy the private location and cabin. Paul is great!

100 Mile Wilderness Cabin
Paul's land is at the beginning of the 100 Mile Wilderness, and is within minutes proximity to some of the treasures of the Moosehead region. We were able to take day trips to epic hikes including Borestone Mountain (we rode our bikes there!), Mt Kineo, segments of the Appalachian Trail within 200 yds of the cabin, Big and Little Wilson Falls, and more. There are endless tote roads, logging roads, and 2 tracks that can be followed until exhaustion. We ate at the world class fine dining restaurant, and James Beard finalist restaurant in Monson called The Quarry, went to the annual Red Hotdog Festival in nearby Dexter, and bet on the horses at the Skowhegan State Fair. All in all, a great way to spend summer days!
Paul's place is admittedly rustic, but his home is right down the street, and his willingness to let us use his electricity, and fill water tanks (excellent water quality!), as well as providing wood and freezer packs when we needed them made it comfortable and pleasant. He even built a new, slick shower and composting toilet unit (separated) outside that made it way less "primitive" than we expected. A great month long stay!
