Canal Side Cabins

Had a wonderful hunting trip in Maine, John and Mary at Canalside Cabins were great! We had a cozy little cabin with everything we needed. Great views and a beautiful lake. There is a general store close by which is very convenient. Highly recommend this place!!

John and Mary have such a wonderful and special place. The cabin was rustic and lovely, we (two adults, one dog) were able to cook every night (John even lent us some flour when we ran out), have a few beers on the screened-in porch, and sleep very well. The lake is a three minute walk and was great to swim in after a day of hiking in the woods and on the coast (about 1 hour drive). I wish we had a reason to stay longer, if I come back to the area, I know who to call.

We had a wonderful stay at Canal Side Cabins. From the expansive screened in porch to the well laid out cabin and the antique kitchen cabinets with hand painted accents, the Elm was rustic and cozy at the same time. There were two bedrooms with dressers, living/kitchen area and a full bath with tub. A full refrigerator and oven/stove made meal prep easy, not to mention the coffeemaker for early morning fishing. The cable television worked well but the WiFi was a no go. Being able to bring our dog was a huge plus. |The convenience of being right across from the dam pool can’t be beat. Mary and John are great and helpful with anything you need. |We look forward to staying again next year.

I discovered Grand Lake Stream and Canal Side Cabins in 2008 and it has been a favorite destination several times a year since then. John and Mary are the consummate hosts and the cabins are rustic and cozy, while still offering every amenity necessary for a pleasant and relaxing stay (heat, shower, TV (which never gets turned on), gas stove and a kitchen stocked with every gadget one might need to cook a five course meal!). Mary dries the cabin sheets outside and the linens are so fresh-smelling and soft that you are guaranteed to have a restful sleep! As other reviewers have posted, Grand Lake Stream is a step back in time and the lakes and woods are filled with breathtaking beauty. A short walk from the cabins is The Pine Tree Store, a classic old-fashioned general store where you c

Maine is a great state, full of lakes and streams, woods and wildlife, and lots of things to do in the outdoors. Our hosts were John and Mary Arcaro, who are friendly and welcoming. Also, John is a Registered Maine Guide, who can be booked ahead of time to take people fishing and hunting during the seasons. If you want to be taken out to the best spots to catch fish, John has the skill and the boats! Plus he fixes a delicious Maine Guides traditional shore dinner in the middle of the day. ||||The Cabins are clean and comfortable, furnished with almost everything you need to relax and cook meals as well as getting a good night's sleep. One of my favorite things was the screened-in porch, where we could sit and enjoy the fresh clean air. Even slept a with the door open to the porch w
