Anyone familiar with Maine will tell you that the best parts of the state are the many hidden gems that exist within it. From secret hikes to abandoned byways, there are always new places to explore and feel at peace with nature. And, more importantly, these places allow you to get away from the hustle and bustle (or, as much hustle and bustle as you can get in Maine) and get back to yourself. If you’re looking for a new way to find that peace, how about your own private island in Maine? Don’t think you can afford that? Think again! Here’s an entire island you can have all to yourself without the price tag you might expect!
Little Cabin Island is located within Annabessacook Lake.
Joanne And Kent / Airbnb Joanne and Kent, who own this slice of paradise, say that the island is a “place with a timezone of its own.” There’s a good chance you’ll agree once you get closer to the small island.
The island is located in the Lakes Region of Central Maine, about an hour north of Portland. Getting to it means a trip on a boat facilitated by the owners. Both are registered Maine guides - so you’ll know you’re in good hands!
Joanne And Kent / Airbnb Alternatively, visitors can make their way to the island using their own boat. In that case, they’ll show you to the public boat ramp on the lake and allow you to park your car and trailer with them overnight.
The log cabin on the island is 600 square feet of open-plan cozy! And, it’s completely off-the-grid, meaning you won’t find any television, internet or even lights here. This wonderful spot is perfect for those looking to get away from it all for a while.

As wonderful as the island itself is, the inside is even better!

The living area is perfect for time spent with friends and family.
Joanne And Kent / Airbnb It’s furnished with a rocking chair, ottoman and a dining table that accommodates four of your nearest and dearest. If you’ve brought more than four of your nearest and dearest, there’s even a futon that converts to a double bed.

Stairs lead to one of the coziest parts of the house.

Hoping to channel your inner, old-time Mainer?
Joanne And Kent / Airbnb The kitchen area has an old-fashioned water pump.
The inside of the house is wonderful, but the true beauty is outside.
Joanne And Kent / Airbnb Especially this season when the leaves turn their perfect Maine red, yellow and orange.
This season is also perfect for enjoying cool days outside.
Joanne And Kent / Airbnb Once you’ve reached peak relaxation, head over to nearby “1 Big Sustainable Island” where you can enjoy 14 miles of trails.

If simply looking at scenery isn’t enough, there’s plenty to do!
Joanne And Kent / Airbnb Joanne and Kent will provide canoes and kayaks to make sure your time outdoors is fully maximized.
Joanne And Kent / Airbnb And those who prefer to sleep in and relax will love taking in the sunset from other other side.
Those with more active interests can jump into the lake right off the private dock. Speaking of the dock, the 1,400-acre lake is perfect for bass fishing!
And, nature is plentiful out here.
Joanne And Kent / Airbnb Be sure to keep an eye out for the eagles and osprey spending time in the trees. And, of course, it wouldn’t be Maine without listening to the call of the loons.
Whatever type of getaway you’re looking for, Little Cabin Island is a great option. And, at around $165 a night, it’s nowhere near what you’d expect for an entire island to yourself!
And, can you really put a price tag on THIS view?!
