What a wonderful cabin! Make sure to enjoy the warmth of the wood stove while you hear the sounds of nature (and the occasional train). Not for those who need electricity, wifi, cell service, or running water, but if you want to get off the grid whole being less than an hour from the nearest large town, then this is for you.

This property is very clean, well maintained and peaceful. There is easy access to numerous well marked ATV, snow mobile and hiking trails. The owners are super helpful and have thought of everything that will make the off grid camping experience a memorable one. Everyone in the surrounding area is friendly and willing to share their knowledge of the region. If you’re looking to spend a few quiet days away from it all, this is the camp to visit. I’ll be back again at my first opportunity!

Very quiet area & we never heard any other visitors or residents around us the entire stay. Expect rustic conditions, wildlife, & lots of shade. Very modern - running water from a mountain water well, lighting, propane stove & oven, a large kitchen counter, a kitchen table with four chairs, a super comfortable leather chair & ottoman, a jackknife sofa, a queen bed, & a set of bunk beds. There is also a very new wood burning stove with lots of wood. There is also a wall heater that is fueled by propane. Stocked with cutlery, service utensils, glasses, & mugs. Has a large Blackstone grill under cover. Chairs around the outside of the property. Owners supplied a large cooler. • Outdoor sink. Two large picnic tables. Typical outhouse, is very new & close to front door. State owned bathroom just a few minute drive. • Large outdoor shower with HOT water near front door. • All amenities very easy to use just follow the directions. • Mountain trails for hikes for every level of hiker with signs of wildlife. • Nearby - Produce stand called Arnold’s Farm Market nearby. • Fort Kent –Canadian Border Crossing & the Swamp Bucket restaurant. • Presque Isle - coffee shops & The Riverside Inn Restaurant. • Caribou – go to “Sleepers” for clothing & the bowling alley. HUGE! Longer reviews on other review sites. We will definitely be back for a longer trip next time. Thank you to the owners of MMC Outdoors! You’re all very lucky to have this beautiful camp to enjoy with your families

This cabin and the surrounding land was absolutely beautiful! Unplugged and real camping without everyday luxuries is something everyone should do once in a while to eliminate all the noise. This camp was it! I would recommend 100x over! Definitely going back soon!

Mark’s place was perfect for a quiet few days away from the hustle and bustle. The guidebook was super specific and very helpful. Mark called me to talk about the ins and outs of the place, with the amenities of running water, electricity, and a hot shower all at my fingertips. I look forward to returning! Thank you Mark!

Weekend Trip to Moose Hill Cabin

This cabin was adorable and was tucked away so get very private. My dogs and I had a great stay and Sadie was very welcoming to us. It was a short drive from lots of beautiful areas to hike and was only a couple hours away from the ocean, so pretty convenient for lots of activities!

Sadie’s cabin is cozy, quiet, well stocked, and in a beautiful part of the world. My only regret is that I brought too many of my own books to read- here’s are much more interesting! The best is super comfy and the fire really warms up the place. We look forward to coming back in different seasons!

1 night at In Nature's Embrace

What a beautiful property! Ashlee was a great host and answered all of my questions. She had the wood stove going, so we arrived to a nice warm cabin (and even made sure my dog had pillows to lay on!) She met us briefly to ensure we found our way to the cabin and to make sure we were comfortable operating the wood stove and power pack. I left the front porch with my skis on and had endless trails to explore. Deer, moose, and rabbit tracks all over. The stars at night were amazing. This was a perfect cozy winter getaway. Looking forward to spending a weekend here during the fall months for some hunting on nearby public lands!

Ashlee was an awesome host and the cabin was lovely. It’s little, but well organized and has everything you need. The sleeping nook is cozy. The area and trails are beautiful, especially covered in snow. We saw fresh moose tracks and scat on the trail! My dog loved staying warm by the wood stove.

1 night at Moose Hill Cabin

This little remote off grid cabin is adorable and Sadie keeps it very well stocked and has even left a little binder with general info, trails, and where to get groceries should you need to make a stop to replenish supplies. I would recommend bringing a cooler if you plan on bringing food with you as there is no fridge. There are many trails around if you like hiking and alot of bodies of water to go kayaking/canoeing. Keep in mind that cell service is non-existent near the cabin. You will be able to connect to satellite for texts/location share. We enjoyed our time and will be back in Spring to explore on kayaks!
