Staying in this getaway will put you right into the story that is being told and you don’t want to miss it. 

We in Maine have a “Do it ourselves” attitude and are proud of it. We can build, fix, or do it on our own.

So when we hear stories of locally built cabins it does our Maine heart good. A man named Rollie Skidgell and his sons built this cabin long ago with their own two hands. They cut down and peeled the trees around the area and laid each down one by one. It was hard work but it was craftsmanship that makes this building one of a kind.
Many people have come here to create lifelong memories.

Thanksgiving meals were shared with family and friends, hunting parties gathered together to tell of their adventure, and romance was in the air when one lucky couple tied the knot at this very location.
