The lodge sits on Craig Pond Trail outside Orland. The last stretch is a gravel camp road — fine for most vehicles in the warmer months. Ask us about current conditions when you book, especially in mud season or winter. There is no EV charging at the lodge — the closest chargers are in the town of Bucksport, so arrive with the range you need.

The Bucksport Family Snowmobile Club maintains roughly 60 miles of trail through the Bucksport and Orland area, connecting riders toward Orrington and Dedham, and the gravel road network in the nearby Great Pond Mountain Wildlands is open to snowmobiles. Ask us about current trail connections and conditions when you book a winter stay.

Quiet, cold and beautiful. Select cabins stay open through the winter with the warmth and ambiance of a woodstove, Craig Pond freezes solid every winter for ice fishing, and the surrounding woods are excellent for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

There is no WiFi on the property. Cell service is good throughout the campground if you need to reach someone, but the cabins themselves are a place to put the phone down.
