Beachfront Cottage on Ambajejus Lake With Sandy Beach and a Mountain View

We welcome you to enjoy our fully furnished 1 bedroom plus loft lakefront cottage located on Ambajejus Lake with a beautiful view of Jo Mary Mountain, just 10 miles away from Baxter State Park. Our cottage is situated steps away from the sandy beach. Take pleasure in a sandy bottom entry for wading or swimming and a great sunny beach for relaxing. Enjoy your meals on the covered deck, complete with gas grill, or at the picnic table on the beach. Our cottage also includes an equipped kitchen with stove/oven, full-sized refrigerator, toaster, microwave, crockpot and Keurig single serve coffee maker. The first floor bedroom includes a queen bed. The loft includes a double-sized bed. The living area offers a double-sized pull out couch with a beautiful lake view and a TV for watching the DVD player (a selection of DVDs is included). Sheets, pillows, bath towels and kitchen towels are all included. Guests should bring their own beach towels. There is a washer and dryer on site. Your well-behaved dog is always welcome!

Enjoy dining at the nearby Knife Edge Brewing, Big Moose Inn (Loose Moose Bar & Grille and Fredericka’s Restaurant) and River Driver’s Restaurant & Pub. The North Woods Trading Post is known for being the closest convenience store to Baxter Park and Katahdin and offers made-to-order sandwiches, gears of all kind, souvenirs, food and drinks. Less than 10 miles from the cottage, in Millinocket, guests can also enjoy dining at the Scootic In Restaurant or Sawmill Bar and Grill. There is also a grocery store with a pharmacy.

This was the third year which we stayed at the Rustic Cabin. The water was warm this year and we boated all over the 5 lakes. Baxter State Park is very close.

Truly a magical place!
We had such a comfortable and relaxing time! The cottage is clean and well provisioned, close to Baxter and several places to eat. The lake is literally steps away and we enjoyed seeing ducks, loons, and even a moose. Hope to come back again!

This clean, well-equipped, comfortable cabin is located on a pine-shaded hillside on its own beach within 20 minutes of Baxter State Park. The owner is helpful and responsive if needed. That was everything we need.

Wonderful Time!
We had a such a great, relaxing time staying here . We loved the cottage, location and especially the private sandy beach with crystal clear water. We and our "goldens" lived in the water"! Views and sunsets were amazing. Explored several islands on the lake with our boat with nice sandy beaches also. Good fishing as well! Carol's communication was great in helping and answering any questions we had.

Hidden Gem
We had such a relaxing week. The description of being a "rustic" cabin does not mean you sacrifice cleanliness or quality, well maintained appliances, nice sheets and towels, comfortable beds ect. The cabin definitely exceeded our expectations! It's in such a convenient location for exploring the park, white water rafting and other local sights but also perfect all in itself for days we just wanted to relax. We loved the serene view, swimming in the lake and the sound of loons in the evening.

We had such a great week with our teenagers! Since there is no WiFi and limited cell service, we were able to connect in a way that rarely happens in our fast paced life. The cabin was perfect for games, naps, canoe rides and fun. Simple, clean, gorgeous views. We will be back!

Lovely spot. very clean and tidy place.
We used this lovely camp as a base for touring the region. If you don't have 4WD make sure to back into driveway as it is somewhat steep and unpaved. But definitely worth renting. If you don't know the area make sure to stop at Tourist Info to get maps and info. Extremely limited cell service at the camp.

Delightful!
Our whole family loved this cabin and voted it as our favorite place we stayed while vacationing in Maine! The inside is cozy and comfortable, and the outdoor space is just perfect! There was plenty of space in the loft for our 3 kids, and they loved that they had their own area. The bathroom is huge, which is great since there’s only one. We loved being able to cook meals in the kitchen, play games in the living room, watch sunsets on the dock, play in the water, and relax along the shore. A great place to make memories for sure! And it’s proximity to Baxter State Park is wonderful! Highly recommend!

Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home away from home with us! The views were spectacular and the beach area with fire pit was the absolute best to sit for coffee, read in the sun, launch our kayaks, or do some fishing. The interior was very clean with unparalleled views. More room than we expected (gorgeous spacious living room!) This is also an ideal “home base” for hiking in Baxter. We came in May and many trails in lower Baxter were open so we had fun exploring! Wish we had more time here than just a spontaneous weekend away - hope to be back someday! Thank you again for welcoming us into your special place.

Wet
Wish I could have seen it on a sunny day. Well appointed for linens. Didn’t have staples or supplies like aluminum foil or plastic wrap, or extra paper towels. Space could have used additional side tables for recliner chairs. Essentially adequate. Rained every day with low cloud cover which limited views and visibility.

Amazing Camp on Ambajejus!
Our family of four had an incredible stay at this camp on Lake Ambajejus! We stayed three nights and four days in August of 2020. We only wish we had stayed longer! With all the COVID concerns, we chose the Katahdin region for a get away. When we walked into the cabin we were relieved and pleased to see the cabin had been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The camp is just what we needed for our family. It's simple, cozy and comfortable. The living area is fantastic with the large living room adjoined to the open kitchen. The kids slept great up in the loft while my wife and I took the downstairs bedroom. The windows facing the lake are large and allowed us to go up to the house while the kids were still down at beach and dock. The sunsets were mind blowing! During the day we'd go off to Baxter for hiking or to NEOC for biking, but we'd make sure to get back for the evening sunset. That was followed either with a fire at the firepit or watching one of the DVDs from the great collection at the cabin. Carol is a terrific communicator. She even let us know about a meteor shower overhead on our first night. Indeed, we stay out on the dock and watched shooting stars after that glowing sunset! What a stay!

Utter lake perfection with an amazing mountain view!
If you are at all hesitant about booking this property, stop thinking about it and just do it! My husband and I booked Carol's cabin for our 3rd wedding anniversary trip with our two dogs. The cabin is a bit difficult to find - the road goes by two names and some of the numbers are hard to see. Still, if you follow Carol's directions, you'll have no problem. Be sure to download the map of the area so that your phone/GPS can access it offline - we had no cell service once we left the town of Millinocket. I would highly suggest printing out the activities that you want to do and directions to them because your phone may not be able to find the information once you're there. If I could go back, I would have printed out the information so that it was more easily available. As for the house - it was super clean, nicely furnished, and had every piece of cookware/equipment that you could want. The extra blankets were useful because the nights were chilly! The lake and the views were utterly incredible. You can see the lake and mountain right from the living room couch, which was incredibly relaxing. All in all, I can't recommend Carol's cabin highly enough and would not hesitate to return!

a place without the electronic world
There were certain inconveniences, as no internet or television. On a hot day, no air conditioning, the bed and futon in the loft on a 90 degree day were hot, one big fan only. So, one should bring at least 2 extra fans Lots of black flies and mosquitos, so repellent necessary. If inside bug killer exists, should bring. Double bed in loft, beside it, is a futon, which is okay for one adult or 2 kids. A double bed in a closed door bedroom, the best bed, for one adult or 2 compatible people. A pull out couch in living room area, good for one adult or 2 compatible people and a another couch for small person to sleep on. Has a good heater for cold days and nights. Could use coffee cups, saw none. Suggest tin foil for grilling, or wrap food. Saw no fry pan. Bug lanterns outside would be a nice extra or bring yourself. One canoe, on rough waves, windy days might be risky. If you like fishing, and have your own fishing boat bring it. Nice sandy beach, There is a thick polyethylene like canvas on the outside entry grounds, which on a rainy day is slippery. A clothes line for drying wet clothes or towels needs a stronger rope. The view from the cabin out upon the lake is fantastic. Has nice dock going out to the water. Appliances are great, including refrigerator, washer and dryer. Shower stall very functional, limited hot water, for one perhaps, 2 people per 2 hours or so. Very clean accommodations. Very pleasant place, of course, nothing is perfect, but stay is enjoyable.
