Remote, off-grid island cabin in The Forks.

We're offering our off-the-grid island cabin in the gateway to the north Maine woods. The property offers main land parking, solar power, outhouse with composting toilet, and sleeping for 8. Note that there is no cell service on the island, so you’ll truly be unplugged once you’re there. Non-potable water comes from the lake, so you’ll need to bring your drinking water. Bring your favorite mode of water travel (we do not offer a boat) for the short trip from the public launch to the cabin.


The space
OFF-THE-GRID property! You will be remote, and with only basic amenities. We use it to truly unplug and get away from hustle and bustle of the daily grind.
Using solar power and propane, (conditions permitting) we have indoor lights, USB chargers and a refrigerator. There is a gas range and microwave for cooking. There are no showers available. We have a solar generator and provide the propane used to power these amenities. Electricity is impacted by days without direct sunlight for recharging, so the need to light an oil lamp at night is possible depending on weather conditions.
.

IMPORTANT:
There is NO cell phone reception or internet on the island. You are able to make a phone call on the main land, just a short drive from boat landing and there are certain locations that offer guest Wifi just a few minutes away if needed.


THE CABIN:
The cabin is clean and cozy and offers a wonderful space for a great getaway. It has a small kitchen table with four chairs, with extra chairs available for additional guests, a gas range, and a cozy fieldstone fireplace. The cabin has a catwalk attaching the two loft bedrooms upstairs. This space is NOT suitable for young children as it only has log railings across the catwalk and steep cliffs around the island! Infants and children over 5 are welcome.

Two Adirondack chairs sit out on the point overlooking the lake.

SLEEPING:
3 double beds upstairs, sleeps 6.
4 twin beds on the front porch, sleeps 4.
futon in the living room can sleep 2 small to medium adults.
This cabin can sleep up to 12, but is most comfortable with no more than 8.

ACTIVITIES:
Bring your own boat. The lake is large and beautiful. There is plenty of room for exploring and fishing. Watch for rocks and shallow spots along the shore line.

The region offers world-class whitewater rafting down the Kennebec or the Dead River in The Forks through a multitude of companies.

You can rent inner tubes to float down the Kennebec river.

Greenville (Moosehead lake) is about a 35 minute drive down relatively well-kept logging roads. Bring a map with you, because GPS ca be spotty in places.

There is an eagle that lives on the back side of the island. It is common to see him flying overhead. You will hear the loons talking to each other at night. Keep a look out for moose on the main land.

Bald mountain and mosquito mountain are great local hikes, and the camp road on the main land is well-kept and great for mountain biking!

Don't forget to stop and check out the stars before you go to bed! There aren't many places left with that view :)

Moxie Falls is Maine's largest waterfall, and only a few miles down the road. It's a short hike in from the parking (less than a mile), down nice trails, and the falls are impressive.

ATV trail system is nearby.

Great hunting and fishing through the region!
Guest access
Accessibility:

You cannot drive up to this camp, as it's on an island. You will need to bring your own boat, canoe or kayak. It's maybe a 5 minute ride by motorized boat and maybe 10 minute canoe or kayak ride from the boat landing at the north end of the lake.

Beautiful, peaceful, fun getaway

This Caribou Island cabin was perfect for an end of summer getaway for my kids (13 and 11) and me. The highlight for us was the location--nestled in the trees right on the lake, but completely private. I can't say enough about how beautiful the property is. The bedrock protrudes through a thin cover of soil and is covered with a variety of lichen and moss that is absolutely gorgeous. Wintergreen covers much of the property too, which we used to make delicious tea to warm us after fishing in the rain. And it was wonderfully quiet while we were there, aside from a very few powered boats and the frequent cries of the loons. We brought a kayak to get onto the island, and the hosts provided very nice kayaks as well, which we used extensively. We spent lots of time on the water, exploring diving board rock, the eagle nest on the back side of the island, and fishing. The fishing was superb--lots of white perch to catch if you have kids, and numerous hungry smallmouth bass that we at times were catching on every cast of our lures. Regarding the dock and the lake--the water off the end of the dock is deep, and the bottom is rocky, both enormous pluses as you can jump off the dock and not end up with your feet in the muck. And the dock area is completely visibly from the large windows in the cabin, so it's easy to keep an eye on kids while cooking/cleaning. We saw moose, eagles, loons, ducks and lots of other wildlife. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!
