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...

No, we dug a hole and stuck a 55g drum in there under the outhouse in 1977. We used lime to kill the odor and help break down the contents. Hauled the drum out once and dropped it off at the town's open pit dump, replaced with a new barrel. Last I checked, that's not quite half full.
