There is simply no place quite like Attean Lake Lodge.  "Attean" as you will come to call it is located in the northwest corner of Maine, in a town called Jackman. Set on an island in a beautiful unspoiled lake and surrounded by the majestic peaks of the northern reaches of the White Mountains, Attean is a wilderness paradise that you will never forget. Combining breathtaking scenery with good old-fashioned hospitality, Attean is the ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of normal life. In fact, we will be transported via cabin cruiser from the mainland leaving even our cars behind.

Hiking opportunities abound from our island retreat.  Daily hikes will be arranged.  Most will use canoes and motorboats to access the many trailheads and to explore the other 22 islands within Attean Lake.

Accommodations are in 15 very comfortable log cabins tucked away along the northwest shore of Birch Island and nestled amid towering pines, spruce and birch. The cabins accommodate from two to six guests and are completely furnished.  Each cabin features a private porch with lake and mountain views, a wood burning fireplace, hot and cold running water and full baths.  Wood for the wood box and ice are delivered daily. Maids clean your cabin, service your kerosene lamps and bring fresh towels each day. The cabins do not have electricity, which really adds to the charm.

We will be treated to delicious home-style meals served in a window-filled main dining room.  Lunch is packed for us in coolers as we explore the Island’s many attractions.  Dinner entrées include such house specialties as prime rib, fresh Maine Lobster, stuffed veal chops, ratatouille, etc. The meals are quite simply—outstanding.
