Staying At This Secluded Cabin In The Maine Woods Is An Unforgettable Experience

Sometimes you just need to get far away from civilization and take in the beauty we have here in the Maine woods. Colby’s Cabin is a perfect place to get away from it all and has a very interesting story too. 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.

With such a rich history seen on this land, it’s as if you can feel the joy and excitement in the air.

The story continues to this day.

A woman named Aranka bought this property seemingly lost in time back in 2009.

Returning to her home state of Maine she fell in love and bought the cabin. Run down and needing work, the cabin posed quite a challenge.

Like the builders before her, she crafted a place to stay, a place for more lifelong memories to be made.

In 2011, her bright and beautiful son Colby was born.

However, Colby was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Making the hard decision to step out of professional work and stay home to tend to her wonderful child she did what any mother would do.

Today, the cabin resides in a trust held to finance Colby’s needs.

Now it’s your turn to be a part of the story of Colby’s Cabin. Bringing along your family for an off-the-beaten-path getaway will also help take care of this wonderful boy who is changing the world with his amazing abilities and a huge heart.

So step into the rich history surrounding Colby’s Cabin and be a part of a growing story. This is not just a cabin in the woods, this is a tale that is being weaved and must be joined. As we rally together in these times we can learn empathy in a world that seems to have none, and we can grow together, all while enjoying this amazing cabin.
