About This Home

As of June 2026

Step back in time and embrace true solitude with this rustic log cabin on the shores of pristine Turkey Tail Lake, part of the Jo-Mary chain of lakes, in the remote North Maine Woods. Small out-boards, kayaks and canoes can easily pass between the two. Surrounded by thousands of acres of forest, this off-grid retreat offers the kind of peace and quiet that's nearly impossible to find — no electricity, no running water, and no neighbors in sight or sound. The property is close to the Katahdin Forest easement owned by the State of Maine and will forever remain as wilderness. Day trips to Baxter State Park, Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument and many other well known and not so well known spots can be easily taken from the camp. The cabin is perfectly suited for those who appreciate simplicity and the call of the wild. Inside, you'll find a cozy space warmed by a propane heater and wood stove, and a propane stove and fridge for cooking. A screened-in porch provides the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or evening read, listening to loons call across the water. Out back, a well-kept privy adds to the classic Maine camp experience. Turkey Tail Lake is a hidden gem, offering some of the best fishing in the region, and the surrounding woods are teeming with wildlife — a true sportsman's paradise. Whether you're after adventure, seclusion, or just a place to unplug and recharge, this cabin offers an authentic Maine wilderness experience. If you've been dreaming of getting away from it all, here's your chance to own a piece of unspoiled Maine — where the only schedule is sunrise, sunset, and the sound of the wind through the trees. (Technically one room, but has a kitchen space, dining, relaxing and a bed as well as a loft with limited head room, but two extra beds.)
