Weekend Trip to Private Waterfront Cabin/Campsites
Leketa is a great host. When we arrive she took time to drive to our cabin and make sure we have everything we need. She was very responsive throughout our stay. The cabin itself was lovely and the lake was so peaceful.

A peaceful spot to slow down and watch the tides come in and out. Great birding and wildlife. We love it here.

Staying on the island was truly unforgettable! Lisa was so helpful in explaining how things worked and also the stories behind certain aspects! This was particularly interesting as this is an island and cabin with a beautiful and rich history. Every inch of the home is so intentional, and there are also books around where you can learn more about how it was built.
It can be hard to find places where dogs are welcome, so it’s also so appreciated that Lisa allows pups. Our Arlo absolutely loved having the freedom to explore this island, and by the time he wanted to come inside in the evening, he was exhausted in the best way! We visited the other end of the island where there is an additional cabin that doesn’t get rented out, and spent some time enjoying the scenery from a rock overlooking the ocean.
We absolutely intend to return next summer.

Such a special beautiful place. This was the second year I spent a few days on this island and the end always comes too soon. Sure there are mosquitos and minimal electricity…but the sacredness of this land and the magic of witnessing the tides shift throughout the day take the precedent of living in tune with nature.
Lisa is a great host and I cannot wait to return next year.

This was my second visit to the Half Moon Cabin this year. I am in the process of planning my third before winter comes around. That should tell you everything you need to know about how much I enjoy this place. It is the perfect home base to have after an arduous day chasing Muskies!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The cabin was cozy with everything we needed for cooking right on hand. Super easy to get to, which made the trip more relaxing.
The location was prime, about 100 yards of waterfront to enjoy, with sunny mornings and shady afternoons that were perfect for hanging out. Our two dogs had the best time. We’d absolutely come back!

What a treat it was to spend some time on Hockomock Island! We absolutely wondered at the creativity and craft that went into making the off grid lodging. Lisa is such a knowledgeable, kind and attentive host. The care she puts into maintaining the island is obvious! Highlights of our stay included heating our water for warm showers, cooking on the wood stove and all our time just existing on the deck. Such a special place for so many reasons! We are very grateful it was shared with us.

We stayed 3 delightful nights on the island and now know why so many reviewers describe it as magical. We loved the birds and seals that wowed us each day as we relaxed on the large deck. The scenery surrounding us and the solitude were just what we needed. Kayaks and trails are steps away too. We found the house (and the people who built it) fascinating, which added to our stay. Lisa could not be more accommodating: easy to reach, very informative, and really nice to talk to.

The little red cabin was a nice place to stay. The river access is prime and the fishing was excellent. Coffee with the warm sun on your face while kids ran wild felt good. Leketa is fantastic and has lots to offer for your stay, we were glad we did.

Our stay here gave us the unique opportunity to experience what it would be like to live on an island in an off the grid cabin. We treasured the opportunity to be close to nature & soak in the beautiful bay views.
Access to the cabin is via a path that takes you across the causeway & up a hill past rocky ledges along the spine of the island to the southern end, a 15 min walk (10 with a small vehicle that can cross the causeway). We were grateful to have read & followed the advice to apply bug spray prior to the walk...we forgot on our way out and paid the price! Once at the cabin, the bugs were not bad while sitting on the deck.
The cabin is well stocked. Lisa even put vases of flowers inside & out! We only needed our food, clothes & books, though we were glad we brought along our hammock with tree straps. Be sure any digital books are fully downloaded. Verizon network was often "SOS Only" or 1 bar.
The sleeping area is upstairs & requires being comfortable climbing rather steep open stairs with a railing starting partway up. The reward is a comfortable queen size bed with stunning views!
The clean outhouse is a short walk up a small hill behind the cabin. TP & sanitizer is provided.
While the cabin itself doesn't provide privacy for more than one family, you're allowed to pitch a tent which would make it possible to enjoy the island with another couple.
Thank you, Lisa, for all you do so that others can enjoy this very special property. We hope to return!

The Little Red Cabin has a beautiful view of the water from it's porch. Leketa and Hillary have it well stocked with cookware, stove, and wash area.
There's an outpost with all kinds of useful items available for purchase.
The fishing is great and I suggest renting the canoe for better access and sunrise views.
The bed was comfy.
We spotted an eagle in the morning. The loons serenaded us to sleep.
I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

The most amazing time. It was overcast and foggy and we loved every second of it, truly. Lisa was amazing and as many others have said the story behind the cabin is just as exceptional as she is. Thank you, we will be back!!

We loved every part of this place! The cabin is cute, it's in a wicked beautiful setting, tons of amenities. I'm used to more bare-bones camping and therefore over-packed -- we didn't need half the stuff we brought because Leketa and Hillary thought of basically everything. They were also very friendly and kind, gave great directions, and had helpful tips for our stay in the area (like swimming in Lake George, and Vittles for breakfast). Loons were around pretty much the whole time, and we also saw deer, bald eagles, geese, fish, frogs, and turtles. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

3 nights at Hockomock Island
Complete privacy on the island and the cabin was so light-filled and magical. The cool mornings (july) were perfect for cooking breakfast on the wood cookstove and the hot water it generates made for a delightful shower in the homemade stone shower. I could go on and on about all the wonderful things but they are too many to list. I’ll mention some of the downsides i experienced that might matter to some adhd/autistic/hsp/or other sensitive folks who are looking to unwind: there are little flashing lights on the solar batteries in the bedroom but you can stuff shirts around them to mostly block the light. There is, at least in july, the constant hum of distant traffic on rt 1. There was also an annoying generator running almost constantly across the marsh. There were those stinky trees that people hang in their rearview mirrors in the outhouse and the stench carried on the breeze and clung to my nose hairs even when i went into town. Theres nasty dawn dish soap in the kitchen that makes your hands stink for the rest of the day, so you might want to bring your own soap. And lastly, not related to sensory sensitivities but folks should know not to expect the shower to be private. Its in the kitchen and theres no curtain. All of that said, it was totally worth it and i would highly recommend anyone stay here who wants total privacy but not total isolation, as town is only 10 minutes away.

This is one of the most beautiful places I have been. The island and the house holds a beautiful energy that embraces you like a great big hug. Lisa is a gracious host and the whole experience is one I won’t forget. 5 stars for this gem!

Our family of four had a fabulous stay on Hockamock Island. The land and the solar-powered house were even more gorgeous than in the photos. In every direction you can only see pristine and preserved Maine coast islands, and the tides coming in and out. Staying in the off the grid solar house was a lot of fun, and Lisa has outfitted it with everything you'll need. We brought a tent, and with the bed and couch could easily sleep the whole family. Our older son actually slept in the screened-in gazebo! We went to Reid State Park one day, which is only 30 minutes away and is a beautiful beach, Popham Beach is also close and is one of the nicest beaches around. This is a unique place and we're so happy we discovered it and had a chance to meet Lisa as well.
