2 Nights to cook and explore Baxter area
Well this was a surprise. We arrived later in the evening and the cabins were kind enough to call and let us know how to access the cabins. When we got there it was very dire, however. it is possible most of the tenants are AT hikers and don't care about accommodations, but that isn't us. It was the first time i 5 years my husband wanted to leave right away and find another place to leave. The bath sink was held up by a radiator due to someone having pulled it off the wall. Spiders and cobwebs in the corners of the rooms. Holes and major dents in the walls. I imagine it could get frustrating to care for a property that others tear down in a single use but i do think as much as they are booked it could use to drop some money and get these to appropriate living conditions. We stay late in the park as we didn't want to come back and spend any time there. they did have a nice grill, however and felt cleaner to stay outside.

Cozy cabin near Baxter State PARK
Overall, satisfied. One complain is that even though I reserved through Expedia with credit card information, hotel made me pay trough PayPal, otherwise reservation get cancelled. Hotel wanted to save Expedia fees? It was bit of extra works.

Good location, Poor lighting
Room was ok, but water for shower was inconsistant (hot to cold repeatedly). Only one set of towels for two guests. When we went to office, the light was on but no one came to the door. When we talked to the manager, he was very nice and gave us muffins as we were leaving. There is no outside lighting. The sidewalks are very uneven.

I found these cabins on the internet...they looked so nice and the write up of the place sounded so good. It wasn't anything like it said it was. We did manage to stay the whole week that we had reserved.

Bare bones
We arrived late after a long drive and cabin was open with the light on. No toilet paper! No soap! The nearest store is 20 miles away. We stayed 2 nights. No housekeeping. Never saw a soul that worked there. I’ll go camping next time.

Response from Skip on Sep 26, 2017
Good morning! The cabins not only do come with toilet paper but each and every cabin has a new extra roll too - on top of the shelf, in a dresser drawer - some place. Just a little effort to look is all it takes. Got a kick out of your 20 miles to the nearest store - like the rest of your review a truly gross exaggeration - there is a Rite-Aid, Hannoford, and IGA within 3/4 of a mile. As for housekeeping - no magical fairies here to do the work - we live onsite in Cabin 8 and do the housekeeping daily. Now since we live here....and are onsite most of the time.....we certainly see/get to know most of our guests. So ANY problems with ANYTHING just let us know - that is what we are here for!

The cabins were cute & cozy - a little close to neighboring cabins, but good for the couple nights we stayed there while hiking at Baxter State Park. Basic accommodations, but that's all we needed. :) Thanks for having us!

Cabins OK, but you should know...
The small cabins looked quaint, clean, and appeared to have recently refurbished plumbing. However,because of a power failure that was beyond the owner's control, I did not stay the night. It would have been nice if the owner had offered flashlights rather than have me hunt him down and ask. It would have been nice for him to check up on as and ask how we were doing, since we had to sit at a picnic table outside, battling mosquitos. He eventually offered a refund, as at 9pm there was still no power and we desired to stay at a local motel. However, after 12 days and no credit on my Visa, I emailed him and got no response. Twice. So, I had to file a complaint to PayPal and have credit given. And that's what I wanted to let everyone know. I made the reservation via Hotels.com and secured the stay using my Visa. The card was not to be charged until I arrived. Within 12 hours, I got an email from the owner informing me that he does not take credit cards and only uses PayPal. I would have to pay up front. I wasn't able to respond right away and in 24 hours I got another email informing me my reservation would be cancelled at day's end. I tried informing Hotels.com that he wasn't honoring the terms posted, but they didn't seem to care. So, the cabins seemed ok, but know before you go the terms and how the owner handles things.

Disappointing
Stay at a hotel or camp in the park. The man running place and his kid are wonderfully welcoming and helpful, but the cabins are just a small step up from shacks. The shower was weaker than a drizzle, the remote for the ancient tv didn't work, the wifi signal was too weak to stay connected, and there's only a heater in the bathroom. Wish I could rate the place higher, but they need to do quite a few upgrades to make it worth a stay.

Good morning and thank you for your kind words regarding my son and I - and for your constructive criticism. The heater that was in your cabin bathroom should have easily been more than enough to warm the entire cabin - especially in July! Otherwise it is very easy to light the cabin heat in the main room. Any time a guest asks. Which no guest has - in any cabin - for the last few weeks. So I honestly do not recall you asking us to light your heat and then forgot about it - but if I did - I am sorry. As for the poor water pressure - we have installed all new Pex pipes to give great water pressure for the showers - along with new tankless hot water heaters in each cabin. I have checked the cabin I believe you stayed in and found several valves have been moved by previous guests who like to tinker and lowered greatly the water flow in to the sink - shower - and toliler. That is why we post the simple note on the wall politely imploring our guests to not touch the valves - it is that easy to completely disrupt the water flow. Again - ANY problem as guest has we HOPE that it will be immediately brought to our attention at the time of the problem so we may address it - to give you the best possible stay.. If you asked me about the water pressure and I neglected to come to your cabin right away to adjust your valves I am sorry. Thank you again for taking the time to leave us a review - happy travels.

Convenient & Clean
Having arrived after dark, it was a little challenging trying to figure out where to go to check in (since there's no specific office). Once that issue was determined, the owners were friendly and pleasant. The cabin was very clean, warm, comfortable, and suited our needs perfectly for the one night.

Quaint old fashioned cabins
Reminiscent of 1930s auto court. Very clean with cozy warm duvet. Would have given a much higher rating except the tiny on demand water heater lasts about 3 mins tops and there is no lamp reachable from the bed.

Frozen in Katahdin Cabin
My stay was terrible. It was 25-30 degrees and our room heater did not work. The cabin has no insulation and the bathroom window did not shut. It was basically a shed with windows cut out and Sheetrock thrown on top of the walls. The toilet handle fell off with every flush. The down comforter was stained. Overall it was terrible

Great owner, great price, not-so-great amenities
First, the positives: 1. Excellent owner and neighborhood. Really does not get any better. The owner really does everything he can. 2. Really low price; cheaper than a motor lodge. Now, the negatives: 1. Really small room and cheap amenities makes it look like a third world motel room 2. The 'cabin' is basically a small mobile home on a dried out lawn on a residential street. There is no view or ambiance to enjoy. The park is 20 miles away.

Spotless, comfy and friendly
Spotless cabins, everything neat and clean and cheerful and smelling fresh. Beds comfy, bedding impeccable, cozy comforters when the night got chilly. Homemade muffins with fresh-picked wild blueberries were unexpected and tasty. Great customer service - late arrival at 11 pm was no problem, light was left on in our cabin with a sticky note with our name and a welcome. The proprietor swung by in the morning and was friendly and helpful. So much better than the rough and outdated housekeeping cabins we had kind of expected. Quiet, woodsy setting. Kudos to the owners and thank you!

Nothing special
The cabin was clean, but otherwise left much to be desired. No soap, shampoo, or cups in the bathroom. Definitely needs some modernizing and TLC. Nothing to sit on except the beds. We stayed in one of the large cabins and at $100 per night I expected more.

Cozy Cabins in Residential Side Yard
The cabin was clean, nice large selection of cable channels, new bathroom was great. There were no cups to use for drinking water, no soap for shower but the towels were nice. Cookies delivered to the door were yummy. It was a windy night and the windows rattled. Still it was a great deal for the price.

Nice cabin for money
The cabin was an older, but clean and seemed well maintained. The owners were friendly and accomodating, even had a couple cookies waiting for us in the cabin when we arrived. One thing to note, there are no signs at the property and our GPS didn't locate the address. Make sure to get good directions prior to arrival.

Great base for exploring the area
Four of us stayed in one of the large, two bedroom cabins on a trip to hike Baxter State Park. The cabin was clean and comfortable, the owners we friendly and provided great tips when they found out why we were coming to the area. When we checked in the first night there were fresh baked muffins in the room and the next day when we returned from our hike there were cookies waiting for us. Overall it was a great place at a very reasonable rate. Only thing to note is that although there is a fridge and a microwave there are no dishes, silverware, cups, etc. Not a big deal as long as you're prepared.

The owners were friendly. However the cabins were located at the end of the local runway, though no planes took off or landed while I was there. I found the biggest problem to be the lack of curtains on the windows and door. There were shades, but no curtains to cover over the gaps.

Unique and different
We were expecting a more "woodsy" atmosohere but found the cabins in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Although the location was not exactly as we'd expected, it was a lovely setting nonetheless. The owners were very friendly and there were really fresh baked cookies waiting for us. The town was easy to get around in and the two restaurants we ate at were great. We would absolutely hands down recommend the Appalachian Trail Cafe. Well worth it. Overall a great one night stay in Millinocket - in the shadow of Mt. Katahdin!

Good on balance.
Small, family-run cabins. Owner live next door. Plus side: Cabin was clean, hostess helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and so were the sheets and towels. Owner even left a plate of real home-made cookies as welcome package. Minus side: Our cabin went through some renovation, but seemed incomplete. The bathroom in particular, was tight and has absolutely no countertop for any toiletry. The shower stall was not completely finished. Overall: For its price, it was a good stay.

- though nighttime temperatures dropped to 50F - as predicted! - there was no heating that worked in this uninsulated cabin. At temperatures like that a cabin needs a heating that is customer-suitable: one-click (on/off or temperature selection). But this heating was out of order (needs to be checked at this temperatures!) or it had a complex mechanism without any kind of instructions. - extra blankets were promised (since no duvet) but only one blanket for two beds provided. And then no heating... - WiFi was incredibly unstable. This isn't free WiFi this is WiFi-free zone! - this accommodation isn't very expensive but much too expensive for what you get!
