Quiet rural cabin in Maine near Bigelow Preserve, Flagstaff Lake and Sugarloaf

Highland Hideaway
This quiet, rural retreat is off the beaten path, in the Western Maine woods, just below Bigelow Preserve and a short distance from Flagstaff Lake. This little cabin is ideal for the outdoor enthusiast and suited for 1 to 4 guests looking for a relaxing experience, without giving up basic amenities.
Enjoy your morning beverage relaxing to the sounds of the streams around the property and the peaceful surrounding forest. Come back at the end of the day’s adventures to your cozy campfire, starry night skies and a comfy screen house to enjoy the evenings.
Our road is nestled between scenic Routes 201 (Old Canada Road), and Route 27 (Carrabassett Valley, Sugarloaf Mountain and the West side of Flagstaff Lake). The road is paved, but if you are planning to explore, AWD or 4WD is recommended for the secondary roads.
We are a short distance from the southeast side of Bigelow Preserve, Flagstaff Lake Public Lands, Appalachia Trail, Maine Huts and Trails’ Flagstaff Hut and Flagstaff Lake. Sugarloaf Mountain ME is a scenic 45 minute drive from this location.
Popular things to do here: hiking, mountain/fat biking, bird watching, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, leaf peeping, hunting, Winter activities include snowshoeing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, skiing and boarding.
The Hideaway stands alone, off the deck, at the back of our property, with its own yard and driveway with ample parking for your toys. The outdoor grilling & cooking area includes a gas grill, 4 burner gas cook top, a large toaster oven, and a large beverage cooler. The deck is covered by a metal roof, making cooking outdoors doable in almost all weather conditions. The screen house makes enjoying those meals outdoors quite comfortable. The picnic table is just off the deck. The yard has ample room for your yard games. The kitchenette inside has a refrigerator, Keurig and 4 cup coffee makers, microwave, crockpot, toaster oven, dishes, beverage ware, utensils and cooking tools. Bring your own food & beverages, and a bundle or two of Maine firewood is always appreciated if you are going to plan a small campfire.
There is a bathroom with a shower in the cabin, and an outside shower (seasonal) on the back end of the cabin. We do provide bedding and towels. There is a multiple device charging port to charge devices, WIFI TV, DVD player, movies, and an Echo Dot for tunes. The cabin is heated / air conditioned and has an electric fireplace. Laundromats are in both nearby towns.
The cabin resources and size cannot accommodate more than 4 guests, so it is important not bring more folks than the reservation allows.

Thank you so much for a great experience! Wish I’d had more time to explore the beautiful property you guys have , I’ll have to come back (hopefully with a lot more snow!)

Perfect Getaway
Came up to stay here while we went skiing at Sugarloaf mountain and it is a beautiful and cozy cabin. It is very remote and quiet, but still has all the amenities you'll need. Lois and Paul were very accommodating, including leaving us with some delicious oatmeal scotchies cookies upon our arrival. The outdoor kitchen worked excellently to cook a nice, hearty meal after a day on the slopes. Combined with the cleanliness and price, this place can't be beat. We were very happy here and would certainly stay again!

Lois was an incredible host. She made me feel welcomed immediately and made sure the driveway was shoveled and sanded to keep me safe upon arrival. The property itself is adorable! Paul's handmade furniture and built-ins are top-notch, and the cabin is the perfect place to stay during any season. With 4 beds (2 large bunks with plenty of head room), there's space for family or friends, and the bathroom and kitchen were both kept immaculately. Lois and Paul have supplied everything needed in the kitchen area, including plenty of amenities to cook any meal. The bathroom was well stocked and even included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The surrounding land includes a screened-in outdoor gathering space, a large fire pit, an outdoor shower for the warmer months, and sheep/chickens. The property is beautiful and set close to Flagstaff, Bigelow, and Sugarloaf, so there is no end to the adventures within reach. Lois and Paul also went above and beyond to accommodate my family when our trip took an unexpected turn. They were kind, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful when our trip was thrown into chaos, and we will forever be thankful for their understanding and flexibility. I can't wait to return to this property in the future, and highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the area. You will not be disappointed!

Awesome place, Amazing hosts!
We were welcomed with warm smiles, warm homemade custard, and a dozen fresh eggs from their chickens. The cottage was perfect for our needs, very clean and well appointed. It was a perfect respite from the chilly cold mornings and the cottage remained warm and cozy on nights in the low teens. We will most certainly be back! Thank you Lois and Paul!

Fabulous stay in hideaway cabin
Our stay with Lois and Paul in their amazing cabin was wonderful. The acccommodation was top notch and there wasn't a single thing that hadn't been thought of. The self catering facilities were the best we've ever had - 100%. The area was beautiful and peaceful and we were privileged to see moose on the back roads one evening at dusk and bears are often seen in the area. A great location, friendly owners and an amazing cabin - I hope we'll be back Kathryn and Jon

Pristinely beautiful cabin
We were warmly greeted by Paul and Lois on our arrival (despite it being very late) - a wonderful welcome! The location is somewhat remote, but that is exactly what we were looking for - getting out into nature. The cabin had all the required amenities and we really loved the semi-outdoor BBQ area. The screened porch was an absolute treat with a view on the forest and all the sounds. We thoroughly loved our stay here - a perfect outdoor getaway - will certainly be back!

Nice little guest house
The hosts were friendly, helpful, and present. The guest house was clean and well maintained, but a bit small. The somewhat cramped quarters are compensated for by a nice screened enclosure just outside the door, and other amenities like a (seasonal) outdoor shower and grill. The bunk beds are functional for a family, but for a retired couple like us impractical. The queen-size bunk bed is up against a wall, so if we were to sleep together, one would have to climb over the other to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night - which us old people must do regularly.
