Quiet rural Maine cabin near Bigelow Preserve, Flagstaff Lake and Sugarloaf

Highland Hideaway
This quiet, rural retreat is off the beaten path in the Western Maine Woods. One of the few cabins that stay open during the winter months. This little cabin is heated and offers a place to cook and sleep for a maximum of 4 guests. Wake up to the sounds of the surrounding streams and forest while enjoying your morning beverage. Come back at the end of your day’s adventures to a warm fire, starry night skies and the peaceful sounds of nature around you.
Popular things to do here: snowshoeing, snowmobiling, skiing, cross-country skiing, hiking, leaf peeping, mountain/fat biking, bird watching, kayaking, fishing, ice fishing and hunting.
The road runs parallel to scenic Routes 201 (Old Canada Road), and Route 27 (Carrabassett Valley, Sugarloaf Mountain and the West side of Flagstaff Lake). Our road is paved, plowed as necessary and open during the winter months. We are a short distance from East side of Bigelow Preserve, Appalachia Trail, Flagstaff Hut and the East side of Flagstaff Lake. It is a 12-mile drive to the Flagstaff Trailhead. Most of the unpaved roads in the area are only accessible by snowmobile during the winter months. For those familiar with the area, Carriage Road is no longer accessible.
Skiers: the Sugarloaf slopes are a scenic 45-minute drive from this location.
Snowmobilers: There are snowmobile trails nearby, and trail access on this road, but you will have to check with the local snowmobile clubs for trail access, locations and conditions.
The Hideaway stands alone, off the deck, at the back of our property, with its own yard, campfire ring and driveway with ample parking for your toys. The outdoor grilling and cooking area includes a gas grill, 4 burner gas cook top, large toaster oven, and a large patio cooler. The deck is covered by a metal roof, making cooking outdoors doable in almost all weather conditions. The picnic table is just off the deck. The kitchenette inside has a refrigerator, Keurig and 4 cup coffee makers, microwave, crockpot, toaster oven, dishes, beverage ware, utensils, cooking tools, etc. Bring your food & beverages. We provide bed linens, blankets and towels. The adult size bunk sleeps two people lower bunk, one-person upper bunk, with another twin bunk across the room. There is a multiple device charging port for your devices, WIFI TV, DVD player, movies and an Echo Dot for tunes. The cabin is heated and has an electric fireplace for additional warmth and ambiance. There is a full bathroom with a shower. The “winterized” screen house has seating for 4 and is also a great place to keep gear out of the elements. We provide some firewood for the campfire as long as we have it and always appreciate when folks bring some Maine firewood with them. We do not offer laundry service, but there are laundromats in both nearby towns. We want you to be comfortable during your stay, so, we cannot stress enough: the cabin and the resources for it truly cannot accommodate more than 4 people. We beg you not to surprise us with a group larger than four.

Wonderful hosts/location
My group and I had an amazing stay! The cabin is very clean and cozy and has all of the equipment you could need to enjoy your stay. Plus, they have an awesome fire pit right next to the cabin! The hosts were wonderful and kindly offered us some Jambalaya they had made. It was delicious. We will definitely be staying here again in the near future! Highly recommended!

Remote Maine
This is a tiny community in the heart of Maine woods. Expect deer, turkeys, eagles and other wildlife, but do not expect cellphone service or drive throughs! The hosts were lovely, had a generator ready to roll when the weather took out power, and provided with a delightful surprise dinner when we found ourselves staying in more than going out. They were really lovely people and the place, while cozy, has an outstanding screen room and outdoors cooking space.

A little time to myself
All I wanted was to get away and find a little solitude and disconnect from the hustle of life. This place provides a happy medium of alone and the necessity of modern convenience. Most important, it was quiet. Beautifully quiet. I would sit by the fire at dusk and watch the fire while listening to the Coyotes do role call in the distance. Such a relaxing hideaway that I wish I could have stayed there a month. The hosts did not bother my and respected my privacy. Eggs were good as well.

Escape and Unwind
The perfect location to relax and put your feet up. The little cabin is ideal for a couple or small group. We really enjoyed our stay. The under cover outdoor kitchen is fun to cook in and we played many games of cribbage in the screened in porch. Definitely check out the stream across the street! It was also lovely to sit by the fire in the evening. We will go back for sure!
