My beloved "Cabin in the Woods" (pic8.co)

Located in the Western Maine Mountains. Cedar pole roof frame with 2x4 walls, shiplap and battens.

Built by Dad and me in the fall of 1977. 4 seasons of fun here!

Sleeps up to 8.

Overlooks a small brook trout filled pond (on the right) at the base of a tall mountain. The stream exiting the pond travels behind the camp along the back property line. We used the stationary part of a duo-pane sliding glass door mounted sideways as a picture window facing the pond and mountain.

No electricity. Refrigeration by an old 1940s Servel gas powered refrigerator. Gas lights, gas cook stove. Woodstove for heat. Uninsulated. One seater Outhouse to the left just out of picture view.

Oh, the stories I could tell...

It's beautiful, Lurker, and what a legacy to share with your Dad.

Oh, the stories I could tell...

There must be a sub for that, please avail yourself!

My Dad died 8 years later but we did get many fun hunting and fishing trips in before he departed way too early in life. Too bad I have no kids to build more camp memories/legacy. I will likely have to sell it in 10-15 years as I inevitably become too old to fully utilize/maintain it. That will be a very sad day.

Property tax was $201 this year. It's gone up a lot in the last 5 years. Lol!
