Great place to stay

The cabin had everything you need for a relaxing getaway on the water. Fishing was great on Merril brook and scenery was beautiful. Supplied canoes were a huge plus. The new owners were awesome and you can tell they started updating the cabins including new TVs. Would suggest for a peaceful fishing trip.

Excellent cabins for canoeing/kayaking/fishing the Penobscot Region. If you’re an outdoor enthusiast or bass fisherman, this is the spot to rest your head at night. This area is known for its smallmouth bass fishing. It didn’t disappoint. The cabin is a cabin. Nothing fancy. It had all that was needed. Just bring your food and charcoal! The canoes were sufficient. Our butts were sore after three to four hours of fishing. So, we came back to eat and regroup. There’s not much too do besides outdoorsy stuff. So, you’re on your own if you want to go dancing. My brother and I did some exploring of other areas close by. Greenbush has flat water that is good for canoeing and fishing also. I was able to research via the Penobscot River Canoe Trail website. Very good info. We also went up to Mattewamkeag Wilderness Park in Mattewamkeag. Bring your fly rod or spinning tackle. We hiked around the few pull offs on the 9 mile dirt road. We fished many riffles and pools. We fished right from the rivers edge but you could wade in, if you wanted to. I don’t think the smallmouth bass have ever seen a bucktail fly, spoon or rooster tail. We caught so many 12-14” smallmouth bass but really got into a few good sized smallmouths from 16-19”. Overall, there weren’t too many people out on Merrill Brook or the Penobscot. You’ll have the fishing all to yourself.

The location was great, you could do fishing, boating, etc..The cleanliness of the property was not good, the 1st bath towel I used had strong musty smell, the cabin had sort of crawl space smells as well.
