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.

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.

Stop over stay

Was a quick stop over on the way to our final destination. Larry was freindly and very responsive although we didnt get to meet him. We were 4 single friends and the cabin was smaller than it appeared in the pictures. The loft was tiny although my 6 foot 4 friend said he slept great. Read the details of amenities. I didnt look closely enough and missed that there are no towels or kitchen sink. Skowhegan has a great Thai restaurant, bakery and bar with an outdoor patio. People were super friendly and we enjoyed our evening in town.

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.

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!
