Our property is located in the small, apple orchard town of Alfred, Maine where the first of Maine’s Shakers settled in around 1793. The Shakers at Alfred farmed and tended their gardens, dairy, kitchen, and shops. In time, hundreds of them called Alfred home. Their life is valued for its simplicity, respect for nature, and prowess in art, furniture design, architecture, agriculture, music, and invention, and for its philosophy of life. The Shakers sought harmony in all things. We hope, you, too will find peace and rest from the toils of life while here.   Our site is a work-in-progress. About 40 trees were felled when we first came to our 3.5 acre land.  Wood piles are scattered throughout.  Hiking/snow-mobile trails are directly behind campsite.  Seclusion and quietness await you with an occasional nocturnal creature breaking the silence, along with, a zillion stars twinkling away. A wood fired hot-tub is in the making for your use, as well. Learn more about this land: Small pond nearby ( i.e. 1 mile) with year-round ice- cream shop. Only 30-45 minutes to Portland & Sebago Lake . Hiking trail out back. Close to other streams & rivers for great fishing and swimming. Very quiet. Maple-sugaring done on site in season.   Free use of kayak available upon request, as well, a fire pit.   Occasional volleyball games can be initiated for recreational usage.

    Tent & S'mores
    It was a nice little stay. There was a tent with a bed all ready, which was unexpected and helpful. picnic table, fire pit, that was nice. It is relatively close to the house, and to another site, which wasn't bad, but if you are looking for total seclusion, probably not the best choice. Kayaking was nice, but the water was not near the house, had to load them up and drive a bit, still awesome that they had them though. Very nice people, attentive, but also gave you space and did not bother us at all. I appreciate all of the work and love that goes into maintaining and making a site for people to enjoy, thank you
