The Cedar Lodge
Our Cedar Lodge arrived in the winter of 2000 on the back of a flat bed truck from Ward Log Homes of Houlton, Maine. We furiously put it together in freezing cold temps, and had it ready for occupancy that July! It's been one of our most popular and adored rentals ever since. In fact, it didn't take long for it to earn the nickname 'The Log Mahal'.
3+ bedrooms - max. 8 - ideal for families... It sports 3 bedrooms; a kingsize bed upstairs, a queen master bedroom downstairs, and a double bed/twin bed bunk bed set-up also downstairs. The upstairs loft has a comfortable futon sofa sleeper, also. The second floor bathroom has a built-in deep tub, and the first floor has a walk-in shower. The screened-in porch has an open fireplace facing the lake. As with all four of our cottages, it is fully furnished, with a well-equipped kitchen (including a dishwasher) for those who love to cook on vacation.
Ceiling fans on the second floor vaulted ceiling help keep the space warm in the cooler months, and cooler in the hot season. There is a wood burning stove for off season rentals. A recent installation of a heat pump provides additional warmth, as well as cooling during those rare, extreme heat waves. The ground floor has an open floor plan for it's kitchen, dining & living-room areas.

The open living-room, dining area, and kitchen is nicely furnished with comfortable seating, tv, and modern kitchen appliances. The bathroom has a deep tub with shower.

Chesuncook Cabin
1 room cabin, with queen bed & sofa/cot - ideal for couples
Chesuncook Cabin is named after Chesuncook Lake, a reservoir in the North Maine Woods and Piscataquis County, Maine. Why our quaint cabin here in Boothbay was named after the third largest lake in Maine is a mystery to us. We inherited these cottages from the second owners. The original owners, the Orne family, established this cottage colony way back in the early '60's!
Surrounded by woods at the base of a dramatic rock cliff, Chesuncook Cabin will have you experiencing authentic Maine living. A log construction, with a screened-in porch & roomy open deck facing great views of the lake, Chesuncook Cabin is dripping with charm. It is surprisingly comfortable and accommodating for it's size.
As with all our cottages, this one is equipped with all the essentials for a totally relaxing Maine getaway. Having said that, there's plenty of room for your little one, too!
