Spencer Pond Camps - The Cricket

Description from the owner

Step back into time into one of our rustic and unplugged "off grid" cabins. Plumbing is "out back" and relaxation is everywhere. The Cricket Cabin is named after the Brittany spaniel of former owners Chick and Anne Howe. Cozy and private on the edge of the woods. The Cricket has two comfortable bedrooms with twin beds that can convert to kings. For those with bigger families, two extra small cots can be set up so one bedroom can sleep up to four children. A sky light over the living area allows fresh sunlight to stream into the cabin during the day. Sit on the spacious porch with views down to the pond, and watch the snowshoe hare frolic on t...he lawn where they can return swiftly to the safety of the woods. This cabin provides great views of several bird feeders and tucked into the woods allows guests to listen to the sounds of the spring wood warblers dancing in the trees

Additional Location Information

Spencer Pond Camps are the only cabins on the Pond and we are fourteen miles from our closest neighbors. That won't help you find us but it gives you some idea of how the Camps are remote and a long distance from towns and traffic. More specifically, we are located 34 miles north of Greenville in the heart of the Maine Highlands region, known for its history and natural beauty. The many lakes, rivers and streams around us offer fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and white water rafting. The numerous mountains are a hiker's paradise. The Moosehead region has the largest population of moose in the State, and the Camps are on a newly developed birding trail.

Hidden deep in the woods and nestled at the foot of Little Spencer Mountain. Spencer Pond is classified by the State as a highly valued, protected body of water due to its scenic mountain views, wildlife, remoteness and undeveloped shoreline. The Pond affords visitors an undisturbed setting to view and photograph wildlife and water birds. Jet Skis are banned and outboard motors over 10 hp are discouraged.

Our Camps are located in East Middlesex Township, bordered by Maine Public Lands, private conservation lands and an ecological reserve. By road, the Camps are an hour's drive from Greenville, the last 12 miles of travel on well-maintained gravel roads. We have signs posted at each intersection and will send a map with specific directions when you make a reservation. By float-plane, the trip from Greenville to Spencer Pond takes only 15 minutes. Come discover the magic for yourself.
