Shortfinger or Oro-
One way or another, I'll definitely keep everyone posted. To answer your question Shortfinger, though I've yet to look on an actual map to get an idea of the areas you speak of, I can tell you it was in a heavily wooded area (though, that's probably describing ALL of Maine), just South of the tiny town of Oquossoc, on the otherside of Route 17 from Rangeley Lake, and at the bottom of a "smaller" sized mountain called Bald Mt. This is all on the opposite side of the lake from the actual town of Rangeley as well as Saddleback Mountain which, to my knowledge, besides being a popular ski resort in the winter, is also the last mountain on the Appalachain trail. Bald Mountain sits between Rangeley Lake and Lake Mooselookmeguntic where we'd camp for a night each time we would vacation there. We stayed at a "resort" called Mountain View Cottages and they consisted of 5 very rustic cabins; the type where your heat was the fireplace and you'd better not forget that "if it's yellow, let it mellow" or you'd be dealing with a nasty septic issue!
Hope this helps. I'm going to research it a bit more this weekend. My aunt & uncle fell in love with the place and built their own home down from where we stayed so I could definitely head out there to "hunt" for a minute relatively cheaply (besides gas & food). I'll let ya'll know any updates.
All the best-

Side thing: while staying there, we would get FRESH Maine lobsters directly off the truck that had only been out of the water however long it took to get from the coast inland to about 45 minutes from the border of New Hampshire. My father and uncle would spend the entire day, drinking scotch & smoking stogies, waiting for water in a massive black pot (4' diameter x 3' tall) to boil before putting the lobster in......at that time, they cost $2.65 PER POUND!
