Winderful

This is a wonderful, cozy little cabin that is remote enough to be private and peaceful, but close enough to town to be convenient as well. Highly recommended!

Lovingly Appointed Cabin

In an age of "Live Laugh Love" vacation rentals -- every property a generic flip, done up in neutral tones and mass-manufactured message art -- it was so refreshing to enter the Cabin Skowhegan, where everything seemed like a real live person had put it there. The photos of local sites, sometimes captioned. The worn-in but sturdy and inviting furniture, arranged for comfort. The quirky mug collection, clearly someone's pride and joy, hanging around the dining area. Supplies and provisions exactly where you need them. This cabin is no frills but so lovingly appointed. I would definitely come back.

Location

The location was great! Close enough to town to be convenient and far enough out to have a remote country feeling. We most likely will return. The cabin was rustic, which had it's charm.

Quaint Cabin

Larry hosted us for a week with our dogs while we were on a house-hunting expedition. Larry was a perfect host; very attentive but allowed us our space. The Cabin is very cozy and while there is no kitchen sink, the property details disclose this so we were prepared. It was a wonderful stay!

1 Week in the cabin

Cabin was beautiful and simple. Sitting in the rocking chair and looking at the stars at night were the best parts. It was needed to destress and get away from the busy city life. Nice and quiet area.

Wonderful Log Cabin

The Cabin consists of one large room that includes a queen size bed, a trundle bed, a TV/lounge chair and couch, and a kitchen area with microwave, air fryer, coffee maker and fridge. The air con works great and the cabin was fun. The on demand hot water heater works great for the shower.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
When we turned back the sheets on the mattress at 1030pm there were multiple bugs scurrying to get away. We immediately packed up and left and rented a hotel room about 30 min away. I reported this to the owner the next day, but he did not seem to want to hear. If you do decide to stay at this location there are two additional things you should consider 1) Read the fine print, we had to go to the Walmart in town to buy towels and wash cloths (I never saw in the listing that they were not available) 2) The cabin look like it is in a remote setting in the pictures, but it is actually in the side yard, next door to the owner.

Cozy & peaceful

The cabin was just what we needed for one night. We arrived very late due to airline issues & had no problems finding the property. The cabin was clean & the bed very comfortable. We'd definitely come back to enjoy the tranquility of the area.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Goldsmith

Host profile image
I am originally from northern New Jersey, though I did live in New Zealand for over five years, but have resided in Skowhegan Maine for now thirty three years now. In the twelve plus years I have opened my cabin to the public, there have been over a thousand visitors and hundreds of wonderfully positive reviews, from guest from all around the world.

Why they chose this property

I have always felt lucky to live where I do, not only because of the wildlife which abounds, or the countryside view from the backyard, but to have all this, but at the same time be only a few short minutes from town is truly having the best of both possible worlds.

What makes this property unique

This is a sprawling property, in a very quiet neighborhood, where children and dogs can play, parents and relax and have their own space, whether its sitting on one of the rocking chairs on the porch, enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee on the couch, while using the high speed fiber optic network, or sitting by a campfire, beneath a star filled sky at night.
