1 Big Sustainable Island (1BSI) is a one-of-a-kind, off-grid island hideaway on Annabessacook Lake in central Maine. Designed for the naturally curious and the happily unplugged, 1BSI offers thoughtfully crafted island stays that blend comfort, creativity, and environmental responsibility—without taking itself too seriously.

Accommodations range from cozy island cabins and domes to floating and tented stays, each designed to feel immersive without sacrificing warmth, care, or a good night’s sleep. Days are shaped by weather, water, and whim—plans optional, wonder encouraged.

Welcoming couples, solo travelers, small groups, and well-behaved dogs, 1 Big Sustainable Island offers a rare mix of true seclusion and easy access, just a short drive from Augusta and Lewiston–Auburn. It’s an ideal retreat for travelers seeking something memorable, meaningful, and just mischievous enough to feel like a secret.
