The first time my family went on a vacation when I was a kid was up to Sebago Lake, Maine.
We stayed in a very rustic cabin (cold running water only, and no tub or shower). It did have a fireplace for the cold summer Maine nights. It was paradise! There were 5 cabins all filled with families and we had a fantastic time. Each cabin had their own rowboat, there was a fire pit down by the beach, and we had so much fun that we all cried when we had to leave.
We stayed for a week and went up there about 4 summers until the place was sold. I was probably about 11/12 the first time we went. Here is the cabin and a bit of one of the rowboats. Lots of pine trees surrounded the cabin. I can still remember the smell of all the pine trees.
