Our family was tired of heat, traffic, ambient noise and television, so this lodge seemed like the perfect antidote. It was. The remote setting guarantees that stars will be blindingly bright on clear nights and the cries of the loons will be the only thing you hear over the sound of the breeze in the pines. The cabins are spacious,... More

This is our most favorite spot in the world. This year will be our 6th year (out of the last 7- only taking a 1 year break to visit the Grand Canyon) to vacation at Attean Lake Lodge. We started when our kids were little and then added my wife's parents and her sister and family. Our kids are now... More

Attean Lake Lodge is on an island in the middle of a gorgeous lake far, far away from anything in Maine. The lake is big, dotted with islands, and improbably scattered with lovely little sandy beaches. The cabins are simple and rustic but spottlessly clean - the housekeepers (thanks Elise!) keep an eye out for you to head to breakfast... More

I think 2010 will mark our 11th year in a row for coming to Attean. The prior posters all described Attean very well. What's funny is seeing first timers come. There's the rare ones who you know will never come back. Attean's not hard to figure out, but some people just don't get how to relax, or at least channel... More

Very friendly, in a gorgeous location, with lots to do, if you like the outdoors. Boating, fishing, hiking, kayaking, swimming, moose watching, beach bonfires. Perfect for families... More

My husband grew up going to Attean in the summers throughout the '70s and early '80s. We started going there as a couple around 1990, honeymooned there, and then started going back when our children were old enough to handle the rustic environment. This is truly one of my favorite places on the planet. There is no other development on... More

We've been spending a week each year for the past 12 years, and we're shorttimers. Many have been coming for over 30 years. Owned and operated by the same family for over 105 years, Attean Lake Lodge is one of the true gems of America. Featuring a dozen or so rustic cabins on an island in a lake in the... More
