NO VISITORS-MAX 6 PEOPLE ALL TIMES STRICTLY ENFORCED
We created our dream vacation home and have decided to open the doors for others to enjoy. We hope you will come stay again and again and build those special memories that can only be found around a Maine lake. This is our happy place, and we hope to be able to keep sharing it with good folks. The property is comfortable for up to 6 people.
We respect our guests and hope to share our cabin for years to come. For the safety of our guests and due to limitations of the entire property, MAXIMUM occupancy is limited to 6 people AT ALL TIMES and is strictly enforced. No gatherings or additional visitors on the 14-acre property at any time. We hope you understand. While the cabin is fantastic for making memories with your small group of 6 or less, there are public establishments and parks nearby where you can join with family and friends in excess of 6 for a meal, picnic, photos, and good times.
