Overlooking tidal Kennebec River. Open year-round.A relaxing setting to gather with your family, a few friends, or for a getaway.

Short trail along the riverside.5 minutes away is Richmond, with stores, restaurants, gas, etc.This cabin is not the place for loud parties; please see our house rules.If you decide to book:1.

You have full use of the property in front of the cabin, all the way out to the river. The riverfront is in its natural state. The riverbank is steep, but there is a nature trail that brings you to a place where water access is easy. At low tide, there are mud flats with tall marsh grass. See BOATING below about where to put in kayaks.This property is at the end of a lightly traveled dead-end dirt road, so it’s quiet and safe. The road passes between the cabin and the river.Our home is in a separate house, across the lawn up behind the cabin.Please see our MAP of the property — it’s in among the photos of the cabin.OUTDOOR AMENITIES (Apr-Oct)There’s a campfire ring & free firewood, plenty of lawn chairs, a picnic table, a gas grill, a big lawn with some shade, a swing set, a hammock, a corn hole game, space for tents, and we provide 2 canoes and 4 kayaks with life vests & paddles.CABIN INTERIORThe cabin’s interior is intentionally rustic and reminiscent of an old-time Maine “camp”. The bathroom and bedrooms are small. Besides those rooms, the larger part of the cabin is open-concept. We stay at many other vacation rentals and we take note of what’s not so good, and then make improvements to our cabin accordingly. Our goal is to have anything you might need already in the cabin.Please see our FLOOR PLAN of the cabin — it’s in among our photos.The cabin’s basement is not part of the rental: that’s where we keep our tools, and we may sometimes go down there through an outside entrance during your stay.INDOOR AMENITIESThere is sleeping for 10, kitchen, dining set, small bathroom with shower (no tub), living area, heat pump/AC, electric fireplace, WiFi, Roku TV with streaming and local over-the-air stations, Blu Ray player & movies, stereo w/Bluetooth, and a large covered porch. No meals are served, although coffee & tea are provided with the Keurig. A complete list of kitchenware is available upon request. The bunk beds are in the common area.BOATINGAt low tide, there are mud flats with grass, so to avoid the mud, there is a short trail to the boat put-in, with two kayaks kept there so you don’t have to carry kayaks down from the cabin.Please see our MAP of the property — it’s in among the photos of the cabin.The tidal current is gentle and easy to overcome when paddling. Strong wind however, can create a challenge. To see a tide table for your dates here, do a search for ‘marine weather Richmond Maine tides’.• Kayaks: we provide several kayaks; most are sit-in, some are sit-on, one tandem, and one youth size.• Canoes: we provide two 3-person canoes.• Motorboats: if you bring a motorboat, there’s a public boat ramp on the opposite side of the river in Richmond (5 minutes away) for launching at any tide level.HIKINGWe have a nature trail that runs along the river’s edge for a round-trip hike of 0.5 mile.We also have a list of nearby hikes you can drive to.FISHINGAt the end of our nature trail, there is a popular fishing spot. Upon booking, we will send you links to Maine’s fishing regs and license application (license required to fish.) Striped Bass are what most people catch.SWIMMINGFor the best swimming, there is a small public park with lakefront swimming about 20 minutes away, and two choices of ocean beaches about an hour away to the south.
