Birch Haven: A Pure Off-Grid Maine Escape

Summary:

Unplug and reconnect with nature at Birch Haven, a rustic, off-grid cabin designed for those who seek the true Maine wilderness. Located on Sawtelle Deadwater, this retreat offers a front-row seat to the best of the North Woods, from majestic moose sightings to world-class fishing and hunting.
