Before: Cabin With Decorative Green Trim

The Wilkinson’s family camp found itself in rough shape. Along with needing updates and leveling, it also needed a new roof, since a large tree had fallen through it during a storm.

After: Cabin With Decorative Green Trim

Taking inspiration from the salvaged scalloped trim, the bold-green roof and window trim turned this cabin into a quintessential Americana getaway. The covered front porch and increased roof pitch made this one dramatic reveal!

Before: A-Frame Cabin

Only accessible by foot or by boat, this rundown A-frame cabin has a view to die for, but it sorely needs to be restored by the Cabin Masters.

After: A-Frame Cabin

After leveling the structure, doing an overall clean-up and adding a new hunter-green metal roof, this secluded A-frame camp became a storybook cottage.

Before: Cabin in the Woods

Chase and the team had to navigate a treacherous hillside to stabilize this home and make necessary structural and cosmetic repairs.

After: Cabin in the Woods

A once disjointed screened-in porch now shares the same roofline as the home, plus has a porch swing. The navy-blue paint and white trim windows make the cabin feel warm and welcoming.

Before: John Fishman's Cabin

This large cabin with a wraparound porch hadn’t been updated since the 1980s. The team was looking forward to this reno, especially since the owner is Jon Fishman of the band Phish.

After: John Fishman's Cabin

No more cracking paint! The clear-coated cedar shingles pair well with the white trim, and the gorgeous wraparound porch kept its shape, now looking like a million bucks. The cabin is move-in ready for the Fishman family.

Before: "Call of the Loon"

Sitting on the shores of Moosehead Lake, this cabin known as the "Call of The Loon" was reacquired by the original builder's great-granddaughter. The Cabin Masters needed to make many updates to the rundown cabin, including the addition of a second story.

After: "Call of the Loon"

This once sad-looking cabin got a lot of love — and now, it looks brand new. The navy paint and contrasting red front door bring out the best of the “Loon,” while the back of the cabin was bumped out to add room for a second level.

Before: New in Blue

With rotted siding and weeds growing out of the roof, this cabin needs some serious renovations to withstand the winter months and become the owner’s dream lakefront home.

After: New in Blue

No more rot, no more moss. This cabin got an overhaul with a new roof and wraparound windows to let in more light and views of the lake.

Before: Burnt Orange Cabin

This gorgeous cabin had a lot of potential — all it really needed was a new coat of paint and updated windows.

After: Burnt Orange Cabin

Now that the Cabin Masters have performed their magic, this cabin has reached its full potential. The deep-orange hue is striking against the pine trees and autumn leaves. A new roof and windows provide the structural support that was needed.

Before: Quaint Cottage Cabin

The Springer camp overlooking Harpswell Sound needed to be leveled and expanded to accommodate the next generation of the family. But how about that blue door?

After: Quaint Cottage Cabin

Taking inspiration from the former blue storm door, the new cabin door was painted the same color, but that’s about all that stayed the same. Classic cedar shingles replaced the vinyl siding for a quaint New England look. A natural stone staircase and wood railing now lead to the pretty blue front door.

Before: The Red Cabin

Three friends bought this cabin together. They describe it as "a diamond in the rough on a pretty lot." They saw the vision, but the Cabin Masters had to bring it to life.

After: The Red Cabin

After undergoing a huge transformation, this cabin is a diamond that shines. The rich-red color pops against the white snow and evergreens. A screened-in porch was added with Adirondack chairs to overlook the lake.

Before: Live-Edge Siding

A couple found their own slice of heaven overlooking Lake Annabessacook, only to find out it needed more work than they could manage. Chase and the team took it out of its 1950s style by updating it with modern amenities.

After: Live-Edge Siding

The gorgeous, live-edge wood siding and hunter-green roof match the surrounding nature perfectly. On the side of the house, the Cabin Masters added outdoor living space with a spacious deck that wraps around to the back of the building.

Before: The Lobster Shack

The owner of this quaint lobster wharf cabin inherited it from their grandfather, who originally built it by hand in 1978. Chase and his team focused on transforming the former fisherman's shack into a fun family cabin.

After: The Lobster Shack

The transformed exterior includes a new fence around the dock to create a safe space for the kids to play and the adults to enjoy the views. The statement feature, though, is definitely the old boat turned outdoor bar with the family’s name painted in bright yellow.

Before: Bright in Beige

Dirty, dull and dark, this Highland Pond camp needed the Cabin Masters' touch to restore it to its former glory.

After: Bright in Beige

The once-dark cabin got a new two-tone paint job to brighten things up — and pop against nature’s background. The spruced-up entry leading to the front door welcomes all who enter the cabin.

Before: Cabin With Cedar-Shake Siding

The Cornwall-Gardner family was a bit cramped in their dated cabin. So much so that their daughter was sleeping in the tent on the back porch! Not only uncomfortable, but also blocking a great lake view.

After: Cabin With Cedar-Shake Siding

The camp got a new look with cedar-shake siding for a quaint coastal feel. The tent platform was turned into extra indoor living space with large windows to take advantage of the gorgeous lake views.

Before: Franken-Camp No More

This camp in Little Sebago Lake had so many random additions that the Cabin Masters nicknamed it the “Franken-camp.” The team stepped in to rework — and expand — its floor plan.

After: Franken-Camp No More

Now seamlessly transitioning from one space to another, and with the addition of a second level, this camp looks like a completely different house. Plus, just look at that red trim!

Before: Lakefront View

The Andersen family camp in Whitefield was falling apart from the outside in. It needed some serious TLC from the Cabin Masters.

After: Lakefront View

The dull brown siding was replaced with a pop of burnt orange, the old windows were upgraded and a new side deck was added to enjoy the lake views — what it’s all about.
