Solar eclipses are rare events. North America, however, has been blessed with two in quick succession: one in 2017, and another that will happen on April 8, 2024. The first stopped people across the country who sat in awe in the path of totality. The latter will be even more accessible for people in the United States, with a long stretch of totality from the Southwest to New England.

Lakefront log cabin in Millinocket
There are very few Airbnbs located on the path of totality of the eclipse left in Maine, and those that remain are rustic and isolated. This is the case for this simple, off-the-grid log cabin on the shore of a 2000-plus-acre pond. Like the listing explains, this is a no-frill cabin that “comes with everything you need and nothing you don’t,” so don’t expect spa-like bathrooms and an air fryer in the kitchen. But who needs fancy appliances and rain showers when you’ve got a large body of water at your doorstep, complimentary canoes to explore it, a fire pit, and views of the Chairback mountain range and Mount Katahdin?
