Big Moose Inn Cabins & CampgroundIrving O. Hunt and his brother Lyman built some rough camps on Millinocket Lake before they became interested in the Nesowadnehunk Stream region. Whether or not their old camps were at the same site as the present camps on Millinocket Lake we do not know.The Millinocket Lake Camps, known today as Big Moose Inn, are located on a narrow spit of land separating Ambejejus Lake and Millinocket Lake. Before a dam controlled Ambajejus’ water level, it was possible to pole up the short stream from Millinocket Lake into Ambejejus.Fred Spencer build the camps, originally named Camp Eureka, in 1899 or 1900 and ran them with his brother. With the founding of Millinocket only a few years earlier and lumbering roads nearing Katahdin, the two lakes became more easily accessible. Camp Eureka was advertised as the only camp reachable by both boat (from Norcross) and road (from Millinocket). In 1905, the rate was $1.50 per day, meals included. Spencer also claimed the lakes had no flies or mosquitoes during spring and summer- a phenomenon caused by the way winds blow across the lakes, which makes it difficult for insects to gain a foothold.The camps’ name changed to Camp Spencer and later to Spencer’s Camps. Around 1929 the lease was transferred to Elmer Woodworth, who lived with his wife on a nearby island while they operated the camps. Elmer, a well-known guide, trapped over the winter, and his wife served as the camp cook. The couple soon renamed the camps Millinocket Lake Camps and Trading Post. They also maintained an outlying camp on Sandy Stream for their guests. In 1941, a major fire broke out in the area. The Woodworths saved the camps by wetting them down, but lost their island home when a stray spark jumped the cove. There is some evidence that, for a short time, a gentleman named Johnny Given either held the lease or managed the camps for the Woodworths. Except for that brief change the Woodworths operated the camps for many years until they passed the lease on to their son Ray, who ran them with his wife Muriel.In 1977, the lease was transferred to Bob and Frederica (“Teddy”) Boynton, who in 1981 sold the trading post to Erwin and Maureen Bacon. The Boyntons retained the sporting camp operation and later added a public restaurant. Teddy renamed the camps Big Moose Inn. Bob and his son Bruce made many renovations to the camps, while Teddy decorated and furnished them. The Boynton Family has remained involved in the success of the inn and restaurant. After Teddy’s death in 1991, management passed to Bruce and his sister Laurie, but Bob and other family members are still very involved.The dam separates the flowages of the two lakes. Millinocket Lake is about eight feet above its original level, and Ambajejus is now some 21 feet above its original level. Today several West Branch rafting companies make the inn their seasonal center of operations.At Big Moose, we bring you a rare blend of friendly service and lovely surroundings that successfully reflects our unique personality.

Legend has it, an ancient Egyptian tribe crossed the Atlantic in search of lobster and good times. Arriving in Maine, they erected a tribute to their ancestral home in the form of a pyramid. Inside the pyramid you will find these mysterious nomads spared no expense recreating the authentic aesthetic of Giza . Archeologists were mystified to find that these travellers added solar power, a tv with netflix and the usual apps, a kitchenette and outdoor shower. A comfy double size bed is found in one corner while a bistro table makes a great place to have a feast or get some work done. A short walk to the river reveals a great fishing, kayaking and swim spot. Egyptians soon learned that swimming meant carefully wading into the water and finding the perfect rock to sit on and drink fermented yummies. The always perfect water is always warm yet refreshing. Nearby, the 95 diner is a great casual spot for breakfast or lunch and the Handystop has great pizzas/subs or grab some fantastic meats and veggies and use the large weber grill outside the pyramid for bbq-ing.

Weekend Trip to Moose Hill Cabin
Sadie's cabin is the perfect spot for a cozy weekend away, or as a base camp to explore some lesser seen parts of Maine.
We stayed at the cabin on the coldest weekend of the winter thus far (below -10 overnight), and found it surprisingly easy to stay warm, and exceedingly comfortable. For an off grid cabin, with no running water, we expected to rely a lot on our gear, but instead Sadie has equipped the cabin with most thing's that one would need.
Sadie herself was very communicative, and very generous. All the things you would hope for in a host.
We would gladly stay again, for another comfortable wintery escape, or as a lovely spot to come back to after a day of exploring.

It's easy to access while feeling remote, well-appointed with enough homey comforts that it barely feels like roughing it, and the host was responsive, friendly, and helpful. The quick walk through the woods to the gorgeous riverside is what makes it a really special location, and I immediately fell in love with the spot - having my coffee by the water while watching the eagles fly was about as peaceful and restorative a morning as I can imagine. I would happily go again.

The hut is right on the Penobscot River which is great for swimming and snorkeling. The hut is really cool and has plenty of space to feel comfortable. We enjoyed our time there!

Really cute little cabins, comfy and quiet and clean. We showed up late and left early and Scott made it all very easy for us. Lincoln is an awesome location to explore the endless forest and rivers and mountains nearby. Would recommend to other travelers! Thanks Scott!

This cabin was adorable and was tucked away so get very private. My dogs and I had a great stay and Sadie was very welcoming to us. It was a short drive from lots of beautiful areas to hike and was only a couple hours away from the ocean, so pretty convenient for lots of activities!

Wow! Where does one start. It was the most peaceful 4 days I have had in almost 40 years. Everyone there was so nice, friendly and engaging. My dog and I enjoyed walks around the property and just relaxed. The accomodations were perfect, clean and just overall fantastic. I would definitely encourage everyone who is visiting the area to stay here. I have already started scheduling my next visit and will without a doubt stay there each time I visit which should be several times in the coming 12 months. Summing up the entire experience in 2 words would be .... Absolutely Wonderful! Thank you again Rebecca and please continue to push forward on your projects as daunting as they may seem at times. Looking back you and everyone who stays there will appreciate everything even more knowing that it was built by hand and hard work. Thank You so much for making our getaway absolutely perfect!

I had a blast at Mullen Grove.. the property's buzzing with projects I love the commitment to recycling things a short stroll away are the 2 stunning Blue ice cold springs... One is large enough for a full cold dip and other is perfect for a chilly wade while standing up. The cabin is super cozy and relaxing. Will go there again recommend it . Very nice and reasonable thank you Rebecca

Sadie’s cabin is cozy, quiet, well stocked, and in a beautiful part of the world. My only regret is that I brought too many of my own books to read- here’s are much more interesting! The best is super comfy and the fire really warms up the place. We look forward to coming back in different seasons!

1 night at Moose Hill Cabin
This little remote off grid cabin is adorable and Sadie keeps it very well stocked and has even left a little binder with general info, trails, and where to get groceries should you need to make a stop to replenish supplies. I would recommend bringing a cooler if you plan on bringing food with you as there is no fridge.
There are many trails around if you like hiking and alot of bodies of water to go kayaking/canoeing. Keep in mind that cell service is non-existent near the cabin. You will be able to connect to satellite for texts/location share.
We enjoyed our time and will be back in Spring to explore on kayaks!

Be prepared for sometimes-rough Maine logging roads -- slow and careful driving. The amazing new "Contact Station" was closed due to the shutdown, but the Center and the lovely perfectly graded road to it was a taste of what's to come as the NPS and its partners develop this National Monument. For those unfamiliar with Maine, this will feel like a true wilderness experience.

Katahdin Woods and Waters is a gem! Well worth exploring all of the different section and the recently Tekakapimek Contact Center is amazing!

Visitors to Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument should start with Tekαkαpimək Contact Station if possible (check hours at NPS.gov/KAWW). It's an amazing spot, plus the rangers can help get you oriented and decide what your next stop will be. There are no high peaks in this park, but plenty of hikes and paddling options for all ages. The best features are what is missing - noise pollution, light pollution, and traffic! Plan to take your time on the dirt roads and enjoy being immersed in nature.
