One on the goals of Your Scribe is to communicate with readers who want to buy a cabin.

Here are some possibilities, gleaned from local newspapers and websites.

At Cabin Country, as in life, nothing is guaranteed . . .

Great Pond, Belgrade, 3.9 acres, 200' shorefront. Cabin includes screened porch, woodstove, docks, propane cookstove, water heater. One bedroom. Outhouse. $250,000. Here is the stat that I like: since the property was posted on the Web last September, it has had 3,100 views. Such a hefty number reinforces my view that a lot of people are looking for cabins. (207) 495-3111.

In Limington, a log cabin built in 1993. It is on 10 acres, with 900 feet on the Saco River. It reportedly has two bedrooms, a bathroom, fireplace and full basement. Price $225,000. (207) 637-2966.

On Conroy Lake, near Presque Isle. Two bedrooms, bath, kitchen, with water frontage and heat. Seasonal. Photo looks good. $99,900 but the seller is "motivated." (207) 538-4482. www.allmaine.com/bartjake

Dedham (which is between Bucksport and Bangor), log home, built 1927. Two bedrooms, bath, fireplace, all systems renvovated. It does not appear to be on water. $149,900. (207) 942-6711.

Grace Pond, near Greenville. Two bedroom cottage, on eight acres, with 280 feet on the pond. Supposedly good fishing. $149,500. (207) 695-3731. www.c21muzzy.com

West Lake, one hour north of Bangor. Two bedroom camp "inches from water." The photo looks great, and reportedly salmon are plentiful in the lake. $149,000. Is there something wrong with the place for this reasonable price? More info can be found at trottrealestate@aol.com. Or call 207-989-6979.

Kingbury, near Dover-Foxcroft, "older camp" with 100 feet on Kingsbury Pond. $89,500. (207) 876-3441.

And here is my Witness-Protection Program Special: Furnished year-round log cabin, 2.7 acres with 140 feet on St. John River, near Allagash Waterway. Sounds like it could work for someone "wanting to get away." Call free: 800-537-2105.
