Anyone familiar with Maine will tell you that the best parts of the state are the many hidden gems that exist within it. From secret hikes to abandoned byways, there are always new places to explore and feel at peace with nature. And, more importantly, these places allow you to get away from the hustle and bustle (or, as much hustle and bustle as you can get in Maine) and get back to yourself. If you’re looking for a new way to find that peace, how about your own private island in Maine? Don’t think you can afford that? Think again! Here’s an entire island you can have all to yourself without the price tag you might expect!

Little Cabin Island is located within Annabessacook Lake.

Joanne and Kent, who own this slice of paradise, say that the island is a "place with a timezone of its own." There's a good chance you'll agree once you get closer to the small island.
The island is located in the Lakes Region of Central Maine, about an hour north of Portland. Getting to it means a trip on a boat facilitated by the owners. Both are registered Maine guides - so you'll know you're in good hands!

Alternatively, visitors can make their way to the island using their own boat. In that case, they'll show you to the public boat ramp on the lake and allow you to park your car and trailer with them overnight.

The log cabin on the island is 600 square feet of open-plan cozy! And, it's completely off-the-grid, meaning you won't find any television, internet or even lights here. This wonderful spot is perfect for those looking to get away from it all for a while.

As wonderful as the island itself is, the inside is even better!

The living area is perfect for time spent with friends and family.

It's furnished with a rocking chair, ottoman and a dining table that accommodates four of your nearest and dearest. If you've brought more than four of your nearest and dearest, there's even a futon that converts to a double bed.

Stairs lead to one of the coziest parts of the house.

The sleeping loft hides a queen-sized bed with far more comforts than you'd expect in an off-the-grid camp.
