We’re offering our 2-bedrm cottage in Northern Me in the quaint village of Onawa for rental for the 1st time. Here’s why this rental is different: • At least 2x day trains run right in front of the cottage on one of the few active railways in Me. You can wave to the conductors from the end of the driveway! • Just down from the cottage is the famed Trestle Bridge w/ unreal views. • Lake Onawa is a clean, clear lake and you can access it just 2 mins away from the cottage via an improved public boat launch that was redone in 2021. You can also swim from the boat launch. Additional swimming is nearby at Wilson Stream or up at Moosehead Lake in Greenville. • The cottage is at the foot of Borestone Mountain, a glorious hike that is part of the Appalachian Trail. Other hiking is also available nearby. • Monson is 25 mins ride away. This little New England town has some cool shops and a great General Store. About the camp: • The Cottage @ Fern Haven can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people. • The Cottage does not have a bathroom but has a clean and well-lit outhouse right behind it. • The Cottage has running water via a hose from our main camp, for washing dishes. We will supply renters w/jugs of drinking water to get them started. You will likely need to bring additional water. • The Cottage has a small fire pit where you can tell great ghost stories and stare up at a night sky with stars like nowhere else in Maine. • There is no cell phone coverage in this remote area. You will need to plan accordingly, but there will be other summer residents who have landline phones in case of an emergency (including a nice year-round neighbor who is just across the tracks). There is a camp next to this one which we own and use, but we are not there every week. If we know we’ll be up at a time that overlaps with your stay, we will let you know.
