Sunflower Ranch is the name of our home and property.
Not only is our cozy, modest house sunflower yellow but in August it is surrounded with sunflowers of all sizes.
We share our property with a flock of sweet hens and ducks.....and a few bossy roosters.
Eggs are available for purchase if needed. There is a little greenhouse with herbs, greens and strawberries. The field is also an apple orchard that mostly feeds the wildlife. The tent site is privately placed in our cove unseen from the house.
We wanted to offer a site that we would enjoy as well and feels like it is
in a world of its own. We spend all of our free time outside, camping and paddling the local rivers and lakes. Tommy and I can recommend many beautiful remote Maine adventures for you to experience that are located off the grid and away from all other humans.
The sweet city of Ellsworth is only 7 miles away for all of your provisions and Otis General Store is 1 mile away.. they have everything to get you through plus beer, wine, ice and homemade pizza. We can give you a pass to visit the Beech Hill Pond Beach also only 1 mile away (I walk there all the time)
which has clear water and a
sandy bottom. Great spot to spend the day sunbathing and swimming.
I can offer yoga, personal training, boxing and paddleboard lessons or SUP yoga for some onsite physical fitness fun upon request.
Learn more about this land:
16 by 12 ft A-Frame on a platform overlooking our private cove on Graham Lake. Walk through the forest trail to the Beech Hill Pond Stream and find a private little swim spot under a mini waterfall . Great fishing, loon watching, eagles and herons. Enjoy paddling and exploring right from your tent site. Bird watching bliss! Very peaceful and quiet. Canoe or 2 kayaks included.

Weekend Trip to 100 Mile Wilderness Cabin
This was our second visit to Paul's cabin and did not disappoint again. Paul made sure there was enough water and wood to last our stay. There is now a flushing toilet outside which was a nice treat. There are many fantastic walking trails close by including the Appalachian Trail. This time round we spent time at North Pond and Juniper Knee Pond and hiked 4ish hour to Little Wilson Falls (there and back and time at the falls).

I had a nice stay here. The privy was clean and it's only 30-40 minute drive from Bangor. The sites are on a slight grade of a hill but it isn't that bad and they each have a fire ring and picnic table with a trash can.

Well appointed with all one needs for a multiday stay. If considering a stay during colder months, don't hesitate. The wood stove did the trick and there was more than enough wood. Most impressive was Paul's hosting, maintained contact throughout...very helpful. We will be back!

Paul’s cabin is the best we stayed at all summer! The flush toilet and shower are genius and I wish all cabins had that. Paul was an awesome host- bringing us more water and firewood when we got low. The welcome book had great suggestions for things to do to keep our teenagers busy. We will definitely be back next year!

Nice spot. Very scenic. Quite quiet. Quite roomy. Very little level spots. Brooks is a nice little community with a cafe and a health food store and a new food market. Ralph’s cafe has had a line waiting for breakfast the 2 times I tried to eat there.

We loved staying at Paul’s camp, it was just like he described it, quiet and peaceful and perfect. We had our twin 2 year old granddaughters, our daughter and her husband and 3 dogs with us and we enjoyed camp fires, walks down the road, picking wild flowers and just being together unplugged. We went on some swimming adventures in the area that he had listed in a binder (thanks for that Paul!). It was a wonderful time. He has a slice of heaven there and we are grateful he is sharing it. He supplied everything, even a cooler on the porch and brought extra water and firewood. The flush toilets and shower were a big plus.

This place has it all! Beautiful cabin, bunk beds, main bed, upstairs loft, kitchen, sitting area, gorgeous porch, firepit, chairs, a flush toilet, even a shower! We’ve stayed in our fair share of hipcamp cabins but this cabin was perfect, plenty of room for us and our dog and 3 year old son and the host thought of everything. We sincerely didn’t even need to pack anything ourselves, had plenty of kitchen gear, drinkable water, camp equipment, bed linens, extra battery lamps, even ratchet straps for the kayaks he had available! Even provided a binder of local spots to check out and directions, which was especially helpful as GPS service was spotty. I highly recommend coming here and we are already looking for another time to come, especially knowing we don’t have to pack much more stuff ourselves. We had so much fun checking out the area and chatting with locals at a nearby pond. We had even accidentally left a steel water bottle and the owner reached out and offered to ship it back home to us! Having the trail behind the house was the best place to take the whole family for a day hike one day, and being that close to the AT was a gem. Book this place! Don’t think twice!
