Secluded, Dog-Friendly Lakefront Cabin on Pristine Lake, Maine, for Wonderfully Romantic Getaways to Nature
This newly renovated lakefront cabin is on 2 wooded acres with 250 feet of private frontage on the undeveloped end of quiet Six Mile Lake in the town of Marshfield. It offers excellent swimming and easy shore access for people and dogs, with a canoe for guests to use. The cabin is 600 square feet plus a loft, with large windows and skylights: plenty of natural light regardless of the weather. Situated 10 minutes from the larger town of Machias (pronounced Ma-CHAI-us), the cabin is convenient to a full-service supermarket, several hardware and outdoor supply stores, a handful of restaurants, a hospital with a 24-hour emergency room, and many small businesses. The original cabin was built in 1998 and was very rustic, with no running water or electricity, and recently underwent an expansion (bedroom and full bathroom) and extreme makeover. (Please note that all reviews through 2023 refer to the original cabin and not the renovated one).
The cabin does not have a television or Internet or exterior lights of any kind in order to preserve the rustic feel and minimize light pollution. It usually receives a decent cell phone signal depending on your carrier, allowing you to use your phone as an Internet hotspot.
Dogs that like to swim really love this property, and the water access is very good. But please note the property is sloped, with many tree roots along the path between the cabin and the water, so it is not ideal for people or animals with mobility issues. (And please note -- in spite of the ramp pictured, the cabin is not handicap accessible. The ramp is there for older dogs and people that want to avoid steep stairs.)
The access road and our driveway are sand and gravel, and fairly well-maintained. A 4-wheel (or all-wheel) drive vehicle is helpful but not necessary during most times of the year.
For those looking for a quiet, secluded, dark-sky experience on the lake, the property will not disappoint.
Mid-June to mid-September: we normally have a 7-day minimum, Saturday to Saturday. (Exceptions may apply especially if there are gaps in booking dates.)
Other times of year: We usually have a 3-day minimum. Exceptions may apply.
Late fall through mid-December: we have a relaxed cancellation policy due to the possibility of a snowstorm that could make our road accessible only to high-clearance vehicles/4-wheel drives.
When you make a booking request, please add a brief note to let us know something about you and what draws you to our region of Maine.

This cozy, modern rustic cabin is on Six Mile Lake near Machias, Maine, on the North Coast, approximately 10 minutes from the town of Machias and 45 minutes from the charming fishing village of Lubec. It is a quiet and peaceful spot, ideal for glampers looking to get away from it all. Guests should note that there is no internet at the cabin and cell signals are not perfectly reliable but usually strong enough to provide a hotspot.
Jasper Beach with its stunning smooth stones is just 20 minutes away from the rental. Roque Bluffs State Park is nearby and offers guests miles of trails to explore. Cutler Coast Public Reserved Land is just a 35-minute drive from the rental, and Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge is under an hour away.

This Maine rental is a wonderful spot for nature lovers and is perfect for glampers who love to explore. It is also a true dark sky location, offering outstanding opportunities for star gazing. Jasper Beach, just 30 minutes away, is a unique beach made up entirely of smooth stones. One of the best ways to take in the beauty of the area is to see it from the water. Sunrise Canoe and Kayak can arrange tours, and guests can also take out the canoe provided at this cabin.
Roque Bluffs State Park is home to one of the rare Down East sandy ocean beaches on one side and a freshwater lake on the other side of the road. In addition, it has miles of walking trails, a small playground and BBQ pits, presenting glampers with a perfect day out.
There is wonderful (and quite easy) hiking along the coast at Quoddy Head State Park in Lubec, about 45 minutes northeast from the cabin, where you can enjoy one of Maine's most photographed lighthouses and spectacular views of Maine's rocky coastline.
