16 ft campervan
Site 4 & 5 are both secluded and private. We like site #5 better because our 16ft camper van could easily back up and turn around to exit. There was a trail near our site that was lined with pine trees that gave a fragrant smell through the air. Birds congregated in the trees with soft chatter and at night it was so peaceful. Due to the ban on camp fires here, we cannot add additional comments on what that might have felt like but since we have experienced camp fires before, this probably would have been perfect. We had rain/drizzle over night waking to wet grasses in the morning but the sun quickly popped out later on. Our host was extremely friendly and accomodating upon our arrival the first night and left us with a warm feeling of kindness for our adventures aheaad. If you like the outdoors, plan on a night or two in the woods. Cell coverage was decent (AT&T).

Tent
my husband and i camped at the christmas tree farm for 2 nights while going to the common ground fair. it was convenient to be so close, and we had a lot of privacy and space. we enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner on our little stove top at the picnic table on top of this hill with a beautiful view of the fields and mountains. the sunrises and sunsets were absolutely divine and we slept under a bright blanket of stars! jesse was incredibly accommodating and helpful, while also giving us space to relax and enjoy our stay. our only challenge was finding a flat place to camp, but by the second night we found a spot that suited us well. i'd recommend arriving before nightfall to pick out an ideal flat camping spot if you're tent camping. cheers!

This was a great spot that has everything you could need. The prep table was great. Toilet situation was ok but knew that going in. Make sure to bring lanterns as the walk to the outhouse in the night is rocky. There was plenty of room to spread out and my dog loved exploring.

We just needed a place to drop our rig while we were backpacking the Cutler Coast. The two nights that we slept in our rig it was peaceful and our place was undisturbed. The owner made sure to get us a spot big enough to accommodate what we needed. Having a travel trailer instead of a tent. She had to make some arrangements. But she was willing to do it.

This was a perfect site! Sarah thought about pretty much everything that one may need for a relaxing stay and was super accommodating and communicative! The tent itself was extremely comfortable and nice. All of the seating areas, including the chairs outside the tent and the chairs around the campfire were great. And finally the picnic table made for an easy meal prep and cooking station. The secluded feeling of the site rounded it off in a great way! Our pup, Honey, really enjoyed it as well. Would recommend this to anyone! Also near some amazing areas of Maine such as Belfast, Ellsworth, and Blue Hill!

This little cabin was great. Clean and neat. Private. Quiet. Cozy. Well appointed. Easy to get to (subaru impreza had sufficient clearance for the dirt driveway).
We saw some fun wildlife. Deer, porcupine (including a baby porcupine!), common nighthawk, pileated woodpecker, and fireflies! The firefly show was great each night. I bet the stars would be great too if the sky were clear (cloudy each evening of our trip).
Great visit! Def recommend! Would love to book again in the future! 🤩
