Large 2-Story Cabin w/ Canoe/Kayaks on Lake Hebron in Monson, by Moosehead Lake NEW FOR 2023: Free Wi-fi now included. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: An ideal location on the peaceful and beautiful Lake Hebron in the charming town of Monson. Enjoy easy access to nearby Moosehead or Sebec Lakes without the crowds and noise or extra cost. Located on the gorgeous and desirable Indian Point area of Lake Hebron, the historic Finch Camp is situated on two large lots - one with the cottage and an adjacent (catty corner) lot with the lovely and serene private lakeside area. The two-story cottage was the first to be built on Lake Hebron more than 100 years ago, and has been updated to add modern comforts, including wi-fi and strong cell service, while still retaining its rustic charm. The cabin has peekaboo lake views through the trees and our neighboring camp and is just steps away from our dock on Lake Hebron. Our private dock area is located in a shaded grassy clearing nestled among the trees that is "catty corner" to our camp, with two Old Town kayaks and a 15 foot Old Town canoe that guests may use to explore the magical Lake Hebron. There are also plenty of lawn chairs, relaxing chaise lounges and a cedar picnic table as well as a stone fire pit at our dock area. The dock is perfect for swimming, fishing, or mooring your own watercraft. Staying at the Finch Camp is a throwback to earlier times, with delicious fresh spring water provided via an antique hand-pumped well in front of the camp and clean running water from a deep well servicing the sinks and shower inside. It has a large country kitchen with a gas oven/stove. The large living room has an oversized fireplace and a nice heating system that does a great job warming the camp in the spring and fall. (We close up the camp in the winter.) We also keep an acoustic guitar at the camp and several sing-along song books, plus plenty of games and puzzles and DVD movies. The large wraparound porch includes a three burner propane BBQ grill and a relaxing screened area if the bugs come out. It is a pleasant walk to the quaint town of Monson or the nearby Appalachian Trail access, and a short 13 mile ride to Moosehead Lake where you might spot a moose! There are many terrific activities in the area, including waterfalls, hiking trails, river rafting, guided moose safaris, u-pick berry farms, nearby lakes and streams, antique shops, and much more. Staying at Lake Hebron provides a nice and relaxing family lakeside experience without the crowds you'll find in Greenville, while still being just a stone's throw from Moosehead Lake so you can partake in the many outdoor activities in the area. The ideal seasons to visit are late spring through mid-fall. Late spring is great for fishing and relaxing; summer is wonderful for swimming, hiking, fishing, kayaking, grilling, etc.; and early to mid-fall provides a quieter time to visit to soak in the stunning fall colors, crisp weather, and peaceful tranquility of the lake. Lake Hebron is known by locals to be one of the most beautiful and serene of the many Lakes in the area. Monson is a very friendly town, with several wonderful local restaurants and new art galleries. Monson has long been recognized as a stopover for hikers on the final leg of the 2,180 mile Appalachian Trail -- it is the last stop before the famous (and grueling) 100 Mile Wilderness hike up Mount Katahdin to finish the trail. It is one of only 21 official Appalachian Trail Communities recognized by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy along the trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine.
