Step
back in time into six "off the grid"
authentic wilderness lakeside housekeeping cabins – each with
its own unique personality. The cabins are fully furnished for
comfort -with homemade quilts, games, cozy spots to relax, and
warm woodstoves.
Cabins have docks, canoes,
kayaks, and mountain bikes included at no extra charge so you can enjoy fishing, wildlife watching, and
paddling on Spencer Pond. Screened porches on each camp allow
you to sit comfortably and watch wildlife, listen to yodeling
loons or enjoy the quiet whispering of the wind through the
pines. No need to pack your tent, sleeping bag, tarps, cookstove,
or camper trailer (these cabins have everything you will need).
Hidden
deep in the woods (14 miles from our nearest
neighbors and the only cabins on Big Spencer Pond!) our
surroundings and rustic-cozy cabins offer you a piece of living
history amidst scenic beauty. Enjoy the
beauty and bounty of our
pristine natural surroundings. Fish, hike, hunt, canoe, read, nap, bird
watch, mountain bike, photograph, stargaze, build a campfire
– we would love to share this remote paradise
with you.
Our
little piece of heaven is located beneath the shadow of Little
Spencer Mountain on Big Spencer Pond in Maine’s Moosehead Lake
Region. We are Recognized by the State of Maine as a certified
Environmental Leader. We are eco-friendly while remaining
balanced with real Native Maine sporting camp traditions. Completely “unplugged
and off grid” you can unwind and reconnect yourself to
the natural world.
The location is adjacent to the
Thoreau Wabanaki Trail,
Maine Birding Trail and
the
Northern Forest Canoe Trail as well as the Moosehead Lake Region & Maine’s Wild North
Woods.
Established in
1901 by Mose Duty, a young Maine guide who began clearing land
and felling logs on these grounds to build his cabin. He named
it Sabotowan – the Abenaki word for nearby Big Spencer
Mountain. From this first cabin the
history of Spencer Pond
Camps was born. Christine and Dana are both registered
Maine Guides who take pride in sharing the splendor of the Maine Woods with
our guests.
The
Magic of Spencer beckons you to come take a step back in time
and stay in one of our remote wilderness cabins. Come experience
for yourself the unsurpassed scenic splendor and enchanted
natural beauty of this
special place the way life used to be.
