Gorgeous hillside cabin experience!
Lovely cabin on the banks of a beautiful stream! We arrived after dark due to a delayed flight + spending a bit too much time in MA but easily navigated to the cabin down the short trail. The carts were helpful and it's mostly downhill on the way in. Our morning view was absolutely gorgeous of the Fall foliage lined stream. It was a bit windy to canoe so we look forward to returning for that in the Summer months. Our kids had a blast building fairy gardens outside, exploring the gorgeous wooded hillside, laying on the dock to watch the birds, and cozying up by the fire for storytime.
This is definitely close to camping so come prepared with plenty of blankets in the Fall/Winter months. The fireplace does help warm the cabin but the upstairs (location of both bedrooms) can still be quite chilly without several layers. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking basic meals. Lack of shower was expected but would have been nice to have a designated, enclosed area to wash off. We didn't see a place to hang the shower bag.
If you're looking to explore, we enjoyed the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in nearby Boothbay and Five Fields Farm in Bridgton for apple picking.

Tis Autumn
Great location right on the water. The cabin is nice, cozy and clean. Follow the instruction for the bathroom and you will be golden. The fire pit area needs some improvement.

Pleasant getaway not far away
It is a pleasant getaway not that far away. Quiet, rustic, disconnected, with a beautiful view of what what Maine has to offer.

peace & quiet
I loved my time at Wakefield Wildlife Sanctuary! So peaceful and quiet. Everything was as described or even better. The cabin is darling and comfortable and the woods are lovely.
The fire-pit among the trees, overlooking the water, was my favorite place to hang out. Also really enjoyed the provided canoe, and hanging out on the small dock. I recommend bringing a camp chair for this purpose. The screen porch was a wonderful place to have my morning cup of tea with a good book.
This place has all the amenities I would want for a lovely get-away and none of those I don't (tv, wifi, electrical hum). Even the 10 yr old seemed perfectly content without his screen!
Be prepared: there is definitely a bit of a walk from the parking area to the cabin. The provided cart will help you get all your gear down the hill and ... back up again (phew!) at the end of your stay. There are accommodations for anyone who needs to drive closer, just ask.
A great place to get away from it all, without being too far from it all if you find you need or want anything!

Very sweet cabin on a warm beautiful lake. Clean, cute and mostly bug free inside. Will be back!
