With its sleek dark wood exterior and expansive picture windows, the cabin feels effortlessly connected to its natural surroundings. The living room presents a striped sofa and sheepskin-draped lounge chairs that invite you to curl up with a book and offers direct access to the deck. This inviting room flows into the kitchen and dining nook where warm wood tones and large windows create a light-filled backdrop for shared meals. On the other side of the cabin are three cozy bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The master and first guest room each feature a queen bed, while the third bedroom offers a bunk bed. An intimate office nook, complete with a rustic wood desk and leather chair, provides a quiet spot for writing, reading, or catching up on work when needed. On the deck, complete with outdoor seating, is the perfect spot for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or evenings spent listening to the sounds of the woods. Adding to its charm, Galleon’s Lap offers waterfront access via the Bagaduce River, which flows into Penobscot Bay. The cabin is set on 100 meandering acres, with endless walking paths to enjoy.
