About this cabin rental
Authentic log cabin selected by the state of Maine for use in their winter activity advertising campaign in 2019. It is located on a private island on North Pond in Woodstock, Maine just south of the quaint mountain village of Bethel. The log cabin was built by Stanley Foss Bartlett around the mid 30's He was a poet and author of Maine woods stories. He had three books published which can be bought on the internet. This island is perfect for vacationers that want to be off the grid without electricity, but not too far! A dock and two parking spaces are provided on the mainland and a dock for access to the island. This pond is connected to both Round Pond and South Pond. These ponds are ideal for kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, peddle boating, water skiing and fishing. Pretty spots on the Island for sunbathing and a place for swimming. The cabin has two twin day beds on the lower level and two twin size beds in the loft that in total sleeps four. The fully equipped kitchenette with a propane stove and a sink for light clean up. A gas grill and picnic table make for easy summer living. An old fashion outhouse is located on the island which is down a path from the cabin. In keeping with the island theme, it is complete with a halfmoon door. Outhouse is down a path away from the cabin and is cleaned and sanitized after each rental stay...NO ODORD! For those who need to occasionally connect to the rest of the world there is a solar USB charger for your cell phone and computer. Pillows and comforters and light weight blankets are provided and the renter will bring sheets and pillow cases for twin size beds. Titian camping chest with food trey that can keep ice up to 8 days is provided along with 4 blocks of ice to start you off. Spring water unit and 3 large bottles also provided. Darts, puzzles, cards, cribbage board, Monopoly, Clue, Sorry, Uno, Yahtzee, Candyland, Cootie, deck of cards, and a wooden tic tac are some of the games for your enjoyment.
There is a kitchenette that seats four.
As requested, I purchased a very nice macromay hammock which will have a beautiful view down the lake. Great place for reading a book or just relaxing. Kitchen is supplied with all your cleaning needs for dishes ie. dish washing liquid, hand soap, bar soap, hand wipes, Comet cleaner for sink, Brillo pads for pots & pans and bottle lemon hand sanitizer. Also provided flex garbage bags for the large metal trash can located out in back of the cabin, packets of individual salt, pepper, and coffee, half and half creamers in small individuals containers that are kept in the cooler, napkins, paper towels, and toilet paper
The island has received 5 BONES on the BringFido web site. The island is a great place for your dog to have a vacation as well. Sniffing and swimming off-leash - what could be better? Ceramic dog dish is provided.
The eagles are back on the next island for the 8th year in a row. They are busy building and repairing their nest. Nothing like having an American Bald Eagle to wake you up most mornings with their distinctive cries. So blessed to have them as visitors to my island, almost daily.
Stay and enjoy a rustic experience with excursions to all adventures and activities that the western mountains of Maine have to offer. DO TO REQUEST TO RENT FOR LESS THEN A WEEK I AM OFFERING A MIIMUM STAY OF THREE DAYS AT 370.00 per day.

EAGLE UP DATE FOR THIS SEASON.
One baby eagle head just popped up in the nest. Congratulations to the proud parents.

Just what we were looking for! Peace, serenity no crowds and traffic!! Perfect place to unplug and the dogs were in heaven! Always wonderful to see the eagles year after year! Thank you Marie, we will be back!

Stayed at this beautiful cabin for a few days with my husband and sons. Marie was beyond lovely and so accommodating. The island is truly beautiful. We fished, boated around the lake, and just enjoyed our surroundings and quality time together. Watching the eagles fly overhead was truly a treat. We will definitely return!!!

This was an amazing and unique vacation for us with our two puppies! They were able to explore and learn to swim while off leash. The cabin has tons of character, is well stocked with everything one might need and is very cozy! Marie is such a wonderful host, was great with communication and always wanted to make sure we were comfy! We will be back!

We loved Marie's cabin on the island. We brought our kayaks and paddle board, and spent a long weekend paddling and swimming around the pond. There's a jumping rock a short paddle or swim from the island that our girls loved. The eagles nesting nearby were amazing - we saw them every day flying, hunting and even sitting in the tall trees above our cabin. Our two dogs came with us and the island was perfect for them. Space to sniff, snooze and swim. The cabin has all the basics you need and Marie is a wonderful host - she met us at the dock, showed us around, and stocked the cabin with lanterns, a cooler full of ice, beach towels and all the basics we needed for a few days. She leaves you with a flat bottom skiff that we used to get to/from where we parked our cars (spots for two cars) as well as to take a couple sunset cruises around the pond. If you like the idea of being off grid but not too far away from a grocery store or the ability to charge your phone, this is a great option.

Magical!
Love this place! Beautiful lake, cozy dark cabin, lots of history. Loons and bald eagle nearby. Marie was so friendly and helpful. We went for a swim around the islands and went hiking in New Hampshire. Drinking coffee by the lake in the morning is a treat.

We stayed at the cabin for 4 nights. Marie was there to greet us upon arrival. The boat was ready for us to take to the island upon arrival. Marie joined us on our initial boat ride to give us the lay of the land when we got there. There is a 5 gallon water cooler there for fresh water and a special cooler with ice provided to keep you food cold for several days upon arrival. The cabin is cozy with 4 twin size beds, 2 on the first floor and two on the loft. The loft is difficult to access if you are an adult. Our kids didnt have any problems accessing it. The cabin doesnt have electric or plumbing so be prepared (bring solar phone chargers or other type devices to keep you phones/devices charged) Marie provides several battery operated lights throughout the cabin. You get GOOD cell phone reception there so it was easy to stay connected to friends/family to send them pics/videos of our stay.
The kids enjoyed fishing and swimming everyday (and so did I). We caught several types of fish without leaving the island such as blue gill, perch, and bass so bring some bait/worms. We would take the boat on some late evening cruises to watch the Loons and Bald Eagles which was nice. The Loons just had two babies and the bald eagles have a juvenile with the nest on the neighboring island. We also went night fishing on the boat and caught a few white perch. We would have a small campfire during the evenings and watch the sunset. There is a small town nearby about 5 miles away (Bethel) that has a small grocery store and there is also a gas station (Big Apple) where you can pickup some bait to go fishing with right off Main Street. There is an outhouse on the island with the old fashioned half moon door.
Marie was a great hostess! She was genuinely proactive about wanting us to have a great stay. She was readily available by phone if needed. It felt like she was our Mom for our short stay there. Thanks Marie for a great stay!!

A unique and ideal escape. We spent 4 days on the porch of our private island listening to the loons. The bald eagle from the neighboring island visited us each morning as we ate breakfast. There are obviously limited amenities, but if you're prepared to grill and read books with a view, it's amazing!

Lovely cabin, lovely host
What's not to love about an old rustic cabin on a private island? We brought our dog and she loved being able to run around the island off leash. The cabin was rustic, as expected, and perfect for relaxing. We spent a lot of time reading, playing games (there are a bunch in the cabin), swimming, and kayaking. The cabin is not too far from another small rock/island that is a popular swimming spot and frequented by boats, kayaks, and paddleboards on hot weekend days. There is also a bald eagle that visited the island early every morning.
This is an almost 100 year old log cabin, so expect it to be rustic. It is fun to imagine what being in this cabin was like when it was built in the 1920s before there were all the cars on the road and powerboats on the lake. The cabin is quite dark and even though there are battery-powered lights, we also found it helpful to have our headlamps.
Marie, the host, is the sweetest person and will make sure your stay is wonderful! She made sure we had everything we needed to have a great stay.

Great place to get away from everything!
We had a fun stay at the cabin! We especially enjoyed the porch which was a wonderful place to sit back and enjoy nature and your family. Perfect place for kayaking, swimming, and fishing. Marie was a wonderful and communicative host and was very helpful. Everything is accurately depicted in the property description.

Amazing Experience
Island was Beautiful, Cabin was filled with character and Marie was amazing and accommodated our every request. This is an off the grid experience and was very relaxing. The wild life and two bald eagles where spectacular and we same them multiple times a day.

Incredible vacation!!! We will be back!
Our time at the cabin was absolutely magical, from start to finish. We will definitely be back! Marie was an incredible host – so thoughtful and attentive. This was a trip for just the two of us, but next time we’ll think about bringing the kids as they would love it too! This is glamping at its absolute best – no running water, and a real, old-fashioned outhouse! We made a fire in the large stone fireplace which was very romantic. If you’re looking to relax, sitting out on the rocks and watching the sunset while listening to the loons is a magnificent way to unwind - making my husband do yoga on the rocks with me was also a good way for me to unwind (and get a laugh in)!
Bethel is nearby for grabbing groceries or dining out, if you’re so inclined to leave the island. We made two friends, a baby and adult bald eagle – we named the baby “Sherman” and the father/mother eagle “Mighty” (for the obvious Angry Birds reference). My husband is convinced that Sherman understood what he was saying during their conversations, and now he keeps asking if I think Sherman misses him…
Regardless, his is truly “off the grid” with no WiFi or electricity, but the solar charger worked great and believe it or not, the best cell signal in Maine was on the island. We brought a couple of travel hammocks and spent hours reading and relaxing and listening to the birds and loons. We also brought our own inflatable paddleboard and kayak and spent a lot of time on the water, and the lake is great for swimming and fishing. All around one of the best vacations we’ve had in a long time!

I was looking for a Maine island cabin experience and found this listing, which looked like it was exactly what we were looking for, and boy was it. It was just spectacular. The island itself was awesome, with plenty of room to move around on, and gorgeous views in every direction. The cabin was perfect… comfortable and well-equipped, and oozing with charm and character. The beds were comfortable, the cooler, stove, and grill all worked great, and the kids loved the loft. The boat provided by Marie was awesome as well, allowing us to explore the lake and get to some great fishing spots. The fishing, by the way, was excellent! With two poles we caught over 50 White Perch over two days (bring worms). Marie was a wonderful host, very hospitable, with great communication, and she really wanted to make sure we enjoyed our stay. As long as you go into this expecting an off-grid experience, you will not be disappointed (although the solar charger Marie provided worked great, and there is good cellular reception on the island). We would not hesitate to stay here again!
