Summer nights are the simplest, but most impactful gifts.

Can you spot what we saw at 6:00 this morning, walking casually by the cottage?

It's almost time! Rigby (the Maine c**n kitty), and I have been cleaning, and the cozy cabin is just about ready for another summer of guests. Mike and I spent some time this winter giving the bathroom a makeover. (Full disclosure: Mike did the hard work). We are so lucky year after year to meet the wonderful people who come here to fish, hike, raft, rest, write, do photography, attend weddings, and more. Shoot us a message if you have questions, or would like to book directly with Mike and I. We are always happy to chat. Kim's cell is 617-840-3288. Mike is out west for a few more weeks, guiding on the Green River then he's back here to guide on the Kennebec.

We are experiencing a run of really cold weather at The Cottage on the Kennebec in Caratunk, Maine. Mike and I have been keeping busy with a bathroom remodeling, so guests can keep experiencing a comfortable and clean cottage.

Would you care about a television if you were here?

We love seeing new guests enjoying the paddle boards we provide. It always makes me smile to see parents and children getting some nature time together. There was a loon a few feet from them.

We just had the weekend of August 2-4 open up for the cottage. If you've been thinking about a little getaway, feel free to reach out directly. Families have been enjoying spending time on the water, and playing in the sand. We've put some sand toys down by the water for the littles. Our 3 new additions to our household have also been providing some entertainment.

We are so excited about the new coffee and pastries truck that is opening soon on the lot at the end of our camp road. This area has needed an experienced barrista for decades! I can tell I'll be needing to ration my visits because Sierra Leavitt's baking skills are off the charts.

The floods from last winter and spring left us with some new sand. What better way to spend a beautiful day with family. Kayaks, canoes and paddleboards are here for guest use. Book directly with us, and save the fees. 617-922-5232.

Father's Day gifts of experiences are better than material items any day. Treat your dad to an amazing fishing trip. You can send a Facebook message or call or text 617-922-5232 to talk to Mike. Book your fishing trip and one night stay, get the second night at half price. Choose any available dates this season. This offer is good for any day of the 2024 season if booked by June 22nd.

Early risers can usually count on seeing wildlife in the mornings here. There is a screened in gazebo next to the fire pit, great for enjoying the bird sounds without the bugs. This morning has been one spent watching eagles, loons, a beaver, Canada geese, with their babies, and one Maine c**n cat.
