Toad Hall is a heated, one room, 8x8 cabin in Harrison, Maine, with access to the Bear River for wading and swimming (depending on the river height.) There are is a firepit at the cabin, along with one down by the river. The lower area by the river is a beautiful place to hang, pitch hammocks etc... The cabin is near the road, which is great for loading in and loading out, but you will hear/see cars drive by. (Read our reviews, we stand by them!) There is no running water or bathroom on the property so we ask you bring a camping potty and do not bury human waste. The Bear River, which is a beautiful spot to swim and wade in, runs right through the property- but it's also drinking water and a protected watershed. Again, please make sure you have a camping potty plan. Cabin Features: There are 2 cots inside, but also feel free to bring your own pads/bedding... Heat is provided via a propane Buddy Heater as needed (smoke/carbon dioxide detector is in the cabin.) There are solar lights inside, along with a USB plug to charge small devices. It is a clean, warm, dry room, with beautiful light and good ventilation with the windows cracked. Nearby places you will like: We are within walking distance to downtown restaurants and public swimming area on Long Lake. There's also porto potties next to the walkable country store, which has everything you forgot to bring. Also a great ice cream shack, and an above-average watering hole, The Olde Mill Tavern. This is a self check-in/out, so expect an easy arrival process (and we'll ask you to please leave the property prepared for the next guest to arrive.)Off-Grid cabin*, within walking distance to downtown restaurants and public swimming area on Long Lake. Sit quietly down by the Bear River which runs right through the property, and spark up a fire to enjoy right at the cabin with the provided firewood. The inside of the cabin is 8x8, with propane heat, and solar lighting. *This is a pack in/pack out property, with no running water or toilets. Please make sure you don’t forget your camping potty.

The cabin was cozy and intimate and the space down by the creek was also very relaxing. We had a great stay.

Toad Hall Cabin

Good spot for an easy night camping

Loved my stay at this tiny A frame cabin. I think for the money, the pros outweigh the cons. Cons: road noise all day kinda ruins the vibe. But traffic tapers off at night and it didn’t keep me up. No bathroom, but that’s upfront in the description so bring a camp potty or make the 2 minute drive into downtown and use a toilet there. Firewood was wet from recent storm, so maybe it needs to be better covered? I was able to get a fire going but it wasn’t easy at first. Pros: Close to downtown with ice cream, delis, and a sit down bar/restaurant if you don’t feel like cooking. Beautiful clean cabin with cots already set up. Two fire pits with wood to burn. 10 second walk down the hill to a chill space with 2nd fire pit, hammock, and a dock into the small creek to dunk in. Quiet area besides the traffic and no close neighbors really. Overall I enjoyed the space and was happy not to have to set up camp after a long hike. Would recommend.

Toad Hall Cabin

Great river, noisy camp spot

Hi, The upside: This spot has a beautiful, private, peaceful little river down below, bathing and chilling in it, plus the hammock set up near by, and all the lovely native flowers and dragonflies was wonderful. Downside: The little cabin is basically the size of a 4 person tent. Very well built, but no windows you can see through, and kind of clastraphobic. Also the cot is so loud it was hard to sleep. The owners were great about leaving us be, but they were pretty loud a lot of the time, so between that and the road noise it was hard to feel one was secluded in the woods during the day. Nice and quiet at night (except the cot).

Toad Hall Cabin

Toad Hall is as described, the perfect place to cool off and relax after a day of hiking. Excellent communication from Mike (I double checked the screen door). Very clean, and the solar fan was an appreciated feature due to humidity. Thank you for sharing your wonderful site. I hope to be back in the future.
