Notes from the host
Bartlett's Island
Authentic log cabin selected by the state of Maine for use in their winter activity advertising campaign in 2019. It is located on a private island on North Pond in Woodstock, Maine just south of the quaint mountain village of Bethel. The log cabin was built by Stanley Foss Bartlett around the mid 30's He was a poet and author of Maine woods stories. He had three books published which can be bought on the internet. This island is perfect for vacationers that want to be off the grid without electricity, but not too far! A dock and two parking spaces are provided on the mainland and a dock for access to the island. This pond is connected to both Round Pond and South Pond. These ponds are ideal for kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, peddle boating, water skiing and fishing. Pretty spots on the Island for sunbathing and a place for swimming. The cabin has two twin day beds on the lower level and two twin size beds in the loft that in total sleeps four. The fully equipped kitchenette with a propane stove and a sink for light clean up. A gas grill and picnic table make for easy summer living. An old fashion outhouse is located on the island which is down a path from the cabin. In keeping with the island theme, it is complete with a halfmoon door. Outhouse is down a path away from the cabin and is cleaned and sanitized after each rental stay...NO ODORD! For those who need to occasionally connect to the rest of the world there is a solar USB charger for your cell phone and computer. Pillows and comforters and light weight blankets are provided and the renter will bring sheets and pillow cases for twin size beds. Titian camping chest with food trey that can keep ice up to 8 days is provided along with 4 blocks of ice to start you off. Spring water unit and 3 large bottles also provided. Darts, puzzles, cards, cribbage board, Monopoly, Clue, Sorry, Uno, Yahtzee, Candyland, Cootie, deck of cards, and a wooden tic tac are some of the games for your enjoyment.
There is a kitchenette that seats four.
As requested, I purchased a very nice macromay hammock which will have a beautiful view down the lake. Great place for reading a book or just relaxing. Kitchen is supplied with all your cleaning needs for dishes ie. dish washing liquid, hand soap, bar soap, hand wipes, Comet cleaner for sink, Brillo pads for pots & pans and bottle lemon hand sanitizer. Also provided flex garbage bags for the large metal trash can located out in back of the cabin, packets of individual salt, pepper, and coffee, half and half creamers in small individuals containers that are kept in the cooler, napkins, paper towels, and toilet paper
The island has received 5 BONES on the BringFido web site. The island is a great place for your dog to have a vacation as well. Sniffing and swimming off-leash - what could be better? Ceramic dog dish is provided.
The eagles are back on the next island for the 8th year in a row. They are busy building and repairing their nest. Nothing like having an American Bald Eagle to wake you up most mornings with their distinctive cries. So blessed to have them as visitors to my island, almost daily.

NEW ADDITION FOR....LIGHTS!!!
Bought a large wagon wheel type light for the living room late last summer that consists of 12 small LED lights with shades. Lights up the whole room with ease.
The fixture hangs from a beam in the middle of the room. It is charged by a Marine Battery that is hidden behind the couch. Electrician even installed a light switch on the wall as you go in. PRETTY NEAT!!!
