Cabin Renovations Underway at Deertrees


In 1987, a group of high school students constructed a small cabin for the Deertrees Staff to reside in for the summer seasons.  A special donation from Steve Isdaner in 2020 has enabled us to fix, renovate and enlarge the cabin so the staff can comfortably reside there.  We owe a HUGE thanks to Ken Ross for his amazing building talents and Karin Phaneuf and Dave Wagner for donating additional money for the renovations.  We hope you enjoy the photos!  We want to thank Dylan Schell, Antonio Harmsen Villa, Scott Ramsdall, Sam Levy, Dave Barker, Barb Stauble, Ray Stauble, Chip Keinath and Gail Phaneuf for helping make this a reality!  Teamwork!  Eat your Hearts out Maine Cabin Masters!  🎭
