Hidey Ho Camp

Restoration of a Rustic 1964 Cabin
About Camp

A Bit of Background

The camp property boundaries have existed pretty much as they are since the 1920s.   As far as a can tell there have only been a few owners since that time.  It stayed in the Patten family for years until it was sold to the Kevit family in the 50s or early 60s.  We purchased it from the Kevit family in 2024. 

The cabin was built in 1964.  It appears they used logs from the property to build it.  Some of those logs have significantly deteriorated and will need to be replaced.  The cabin walls are fairly short with the tie beams holding the upper walls together only about 6 feet off the floor.  

The cabin is completely off-grid.  No electric.  There is an outhouse with a floor that feels like it could cave in at any second.  No water other than what can be pumped via a hand pump from the pond.

The cabin is only accessible via row boat from the neighbors property.  It is about an 8 minute row (300 yards) from the neighbors shoreline to the cabin.  There are no roads to the cabin.

The property has about 2,600 feet of shoreline on the pond.  There are 2 small islands close to shore that I believe are also on the property.  I have not attempted to go on those islands.

Things To See

01

Aerial View of Cabin Peninsula

Located at the end of the peninsula, the cabin has great views of Patten Pond.

Sunset Tranquility

This was taken just after sunset. The water was like glass.

03

Cozy Cabin

At about 20 x 20 feet the cabin is small…and very dark. The windows are small so the cabin is dark even during the day.

04

Rustic is the Word

The only water at the cabin is a hand pump that pumps water from the lake. Now if I could just get the pump to work.

05

Ideal location on the Pond

The peninsula where the cabin is located is ideally situated at the center of the pond with sunrise and sunset views and a southerly exposure
