Machias Cabin | Secluded Lakefront, Dog-Friendly Cabin with Canoe, 7 Miles from the Ocean

2 Bedroom Cabin in Machias

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. 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). Photos of the original cabin appear toward the end of the photo gallery.
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.

Summary: First of all, Anne was very prompt in all communications and offered guidance for our stay. The cabin was just amazing! We stayed 4 nights with our dog and we loved every minute of it! The cabin is totally renovated and everything is new and has anything you need! It is pristine and provides such warmth the minute you open the door! It is in the wilderness overlooking a beautiful lake and the tranquility provides for memories of a lifetime!

Summary: Beautifully renovated and modernized camp. Everything thing you need is there. Excellent communication with host Anne. Secluded and quiet, but close to town in case you forgot something, it was a perfect getaway. Thank you Anne

Summary: Great private location with very comfortable and clean camp. Gravel access road might be a challenge for someone with a car that has low clearance, but it added to the remote feel and we didn’t have any issues with our Subaru. The host was great and everything was as advertised. The family really enjoyed mornings and evenings by the water’s edge and hanging out on the deck. The lake was quiet and a fantastic place to paddle without the worry of speeding boats.

Summary: Great spot, beautiful, comfortable cottage, and great communication from the owner, Ann. She was great to deal with. This was an enjoyable stay!
Brady T. Oct 19, 2024 08:39:25 AM
Summary: The property was amazing. Great views of the lake, nice little dock to sit on and fish. Can’t say enough how awesome the place was.
Denise S. Oct 15, 2024 07:37:24 AM
Summary: The workmanship and thoughtful design of this brautiful cottage is amazing. One if the most relaxing few days we have ever had. We used the canoe toexplore the lake!
Dawn C. Oct 15, 2024 06:25:11 AM
Summary: This was exactly what we were hoping for. Quiet, beautiful location, comfortable and clean. Having a wood stove was a pleasant surprise since we had a few days of rain. We took the canoe out on the lake & didn’t see another person. We are already dreaming about our next visit.
John D. Oct 7, 2024 06:23:42 AM
Summary: The cabin was all it was advertised. The new remodel was flawless. The location was quiet, secluded and beautiful. The falling leaves were a constant source of entertainment. This cabin has set the bar very high for my future rentals. This property is outstanding.
Lizette C. Sep 24, 2024 04:28:02 AM
Summary: Our host Anne, was very accommodating and pleasant. We had and issue with the lock box apon arriving and Anne was quick to respond. The location offered solace and convenience. We were able to fish off shore, and caught a couple brookies. It was pet friendly and safe. Our 4-legged "girl" was comfortable there. Very private lot with a beautiful view. We road the Sunrise trail, which was close by. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay..

Summary: Very well appointed and newly remodeled cabin with great seclusion. You see no other cabins or people from the wonderful porch and dock. It is small, but ideal for two (there are two twin beds in the loft, but you need to be very careful climbing the latter). Also, ideal place for our golden retriever! She loved it there, with water to swim and plenty of squirrels to chase. The lake is small and stocked only with trout (which are very difficult to catch in the summer, as they are deep in the middle of the lake). I caught only one small one. However, fantastic bass fishing in nearby lakes. I hired a local guide for fly fishing (Bill Robinson with Denny River Camp -- highly recommended) and caught about two dozen bass each of the two days I fished. Smallmouth bass fishing heaven. Helen's in Machias is an excellent restaurant, but not much more nearby (other than great fishing). One drawback with the cabin is very poor internet (to be expected, however, in such a secured area). We were fine without TV but missed being able to surf the web :). Bring plenty of books to read. Finally, Anne was a terrific host!
