Get Away at this Cozy Escape in the Woods!

The machias area is a beautiful place and the cabin was a nice place to stay and relax in between exploring the area

This was a clean well kept cabin . My only criticism is the living room furniture was not comfortable. The rest of the place was nice. The beds were comfortable . The place was well equipped and good. The location quiet and peaceful. I would recommend this place!

We loved getting away from everything. The full kitchen and room to relax made our vacation just what we needed. Hosts were quick to respond anytime we reached out.

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin in downeast Maine. The listing had both pros and cons. Among the pros, the house was very clean and is well constructed. It has a very nice gas grill on the patio. The view from the patio overlooks woodlands, so you don't see a road or other houses when sitting on the patio, even though the cabin is close to a main road. The cabin is within about a mile of two lakes, which we used for swimming and paddle-boarding. It is also a short drive from Machais, which has a number of nice restaurants. The biggest negative was the furniture in the cabin, which was very uncomfortable. The couches in the living room are very low to the ground and have a thin cushion through which you can easily feel the round wooden slats. The furniture around the table on the patio consists of flimsy plastic chairs. We found the wicker chair on the patio to be the only comfortable place to sit. The bed in the downstairs bedroom is also extremely uncomfortable and small, and again very low to the ground. The bed in the loft is an air mattress. Both would have been uncomfortable to share with two people. Fortunately we only had four people in our group, but it would have been difficult to sleep six in this cabin. While the listing was advertised as having 80 acres, only about one acre of land around the house is at all accessible. The yard was filled with a lot of junk, including two car bodies, an empty refrigerator, lots of barrels, a large steel box, etc. While it had internet, it was very slow and the connectivity was poor. The cabin has a nice TV, but the internet was so weak that programs kept stopping to buffer. However, there is a DVD player in the house and a Redbox at the local Hannafords, so we watched a lot of movies.
