Cabin Descriptions
|
The cabins were established in 1901 by a young Maine Guide - Mose Duty. Some of the cabins were built from material obtained from the William Tell Hunting Club when it was dismantled at the Spencer Pond outlet in the 1940's. You can click to read more about the history of Spencer Pond Camps. |

We provide daily, weekly, and monthly rentals of six lakeside housekeeping cabins. The cabins are non-modernized yet fully furnished. The ambience and conveniences you will find are reminiscent of "Little House in the Big Woods" completely comfortable and functional, but a far cry from the whirring sounds of loud generators, noisy campgrounds, and the distractions of electronic devices. This atmosphere conveys and draws you into a world where life comes at a slower pace, simplified, and you can share with your family the way life used to be many years ago. Many of our guests find this is their opportunity to truly get away from it all and go "unplugged" to relax and rejuvenate themselves. Cabins include: Fully equipped kitchen with all cooking utensils, pots and pans, dishes, etc. Gas stoves (includes cook top and oven), gas refrigerator, and propane and kerosene lights “Old-fashioned” kitchen tools that allow you to mix your cakes, perk your coffee and make your toast with ease as we do not have electricity and therefore cannot accommodate electrical appliances. Old-fashioned hand water pumps are inside the kitchen at the sink and provide access to our spring-fed well which provides a clear state tested and approved drinking water supply. (except the Moose Cabin which has portable drinking water cooler to supplement the hand pump). Shower stalls are inside each cabin, and hot showers can be taken by heating water on the wood stove and filling the shower bags. Each cabin has its own private clean outhouse. We believe that this plumbing “out back” experience is in itself authentic & hearkens back to earlier times and ways. We provide matches, toilet paper and dishwashing soap, you provide the rest!
Barbecue stands are also available in front of the cabins but remember to bring charcoal! There is a central fireplace where you are welcome to build a bonfire and toast marshmallows, make s’mores, tell ghost stories or simply enjoy the flicker of a moonlit fire. Each cabin has twin beds which can be converted into king beds at your request. Some cabins have futons that convert to double beds. We also have rollaway beds and cribs available upon request. Beds are provided with warm blankets and crisp sheets. Homemade quilts and afghans lie at the foot of each bed for you to snuggle with while reading a book or falling asleep listening to the yodel of the loons. Docks, canoes and kayaks are included as part of your cabin rental (paddles and life preservers for all sizes included). Children can spend the day fishing off the docks and will be rewarded with a variety of fish. We also
rent motorized boats (5 hp
and under) upon
request. Guests are allowed
to launch their own boats
with small motors (10 hp and
under). Items towed behind
boats, Jet skis and large
boats are prohibited. For
those anglers and boaters
that desire to explore and
play in other areas, we have
limited space available to
store larger boats and trailers. We have a quarter mile private drive that winds down from the main logging road to the campground. Guest vehicles are kept in the parking lot except during arrival and departure,(which provides a safe and quiet atmosphere for everyone to enjoy nature and children to play.) We have a series of well marked nature trails that start in the campground and extends to various locations near the pond. The logging roads in our area provide a perfect opportunity for mountain bikers. We have a limited supply of mountain bikes that guests can use at no additional charge as part of their cabin rental. Hunting parties are welcome during the fall. We welcome hunting dogs as well. Hunting is not allowed from the start of the driveway down to the campground to ensure safety for all guests. After a long day of hunting we understand the value of a warm cabin and hot food. Upon request., we will gladly keep your woodstove stoked and stick food you have prepared in the oven so it is ready at your expected arrival time. Bear baiting is not allowed in the township so unfortunately we cannot accommodate bear hunters who wish to hunt over bait.
