Sunset View Lodge has been in operation for
over 100 years. We purchased the lodge in 1993 after working
there overseeing the operation for five years. This allowed for
a smooth and uneventful transfer of ownership. Plus, having
operated Stony Book Lodge in Maine for 13 years prior to taking
on this operation, we were fully versed in knowing what it takes
to make a successful bear camp. We make the same commitment for
our Spring Bear hunts – to make your hunt productive as well as
memorable. We specialize in the Spring Bear hunt in New
Brunswick. Our hunter to guide ratio is 3 to 1, in accordance
with New Brunswick law. We limit the number of hunters per week
to match this ratio thus keeping our commitment for personalized
service. We provide all meals, lodging, transportation to and
from the hunting area, and guide services. Prices are all
inclusive, with the exception of your hunting or fishing
licenses and the gun permit. There are no gate
or hidden fees.
Although we do not guide fishermen out of the lodge, we do
supply our Spring bear hunters with boats, motors and gas at no
additional cost. You can wet a line and try your luck with the
numerous Smallmouth Bass, Landlocked Salmon, White Perch and
Pickerel that inhabit the lake. We do offer unguided fishing
trips at reasonable rates during the spring bear hunting season.
So if you are not interested in hunting, you can still take
advantage of our hospitality and services.
In addition to great bear hunting and fishing, bring your ATV.
You can ride hundreds of miles on unrestricted trails and wood
roads. The best riding available in the Northeast – right from
your cabin door!
Sunset View Lodge originally was a fishing
camp nestled on the shore of Palfrey Lake on the southern end of
the East Grand Lakes that separate Maine and New Brunswick. In
1971 Spring Bear was added to the venue. The lodge is located
just seven miles over the Maine / New Brunswick border. The
rustic setting is easily accessible by vehicle although the road
can be muddy in the early spring so 4-wheel drive is
recommended. The lake is only a stone's throw from the cabins. We
transport you out to the stands that consist of permanent tree
stands or ground blinds. Our stands provide natural camouflage
cover but clear shooting lanes. Many of our bait sites have been
in existence for over 30 years and are in the heart of fir and
cedar country – the perfect habitat for bear. In addition to
great bear hunting and fishing, bring your ATV. You can for ride
hundreds of miles!

Sunset View Lodge has a main lodge where
the dining room is located. There are two bunk rooms upstairs
over the kitchen / dining room, each of which can accommodate 6
people. We have 3 cabins, all of which contain a woodstove, gas
refrigerator, gas stove, gaslights, a toilet and running water.
Two of the cabins can accommodate 6 people each and one holds
two. These rustic cabins are unique and charming. Plenty of room
to spread out, and you can enjoy the view of the lake from your
screened porch. Each group will have their own cabin or
bunkroom. The shower house provides hot showers with a gas hot
water heater and all water is gravity fed. The generator is run
periodically during the day and every evening providing lighting
for meals and skinning.
