Harrison, ME · 2 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Jamberry Farm owners Adrienne and James met in 2013 while living in Denver, Colorado. They spent 10 fun-filled and adventurous years traveling throughout the Western U.S. After having their first child in 2019, they moved to Oregon to be part of a team opening an inn on the Oregon Coast.
When COVID-19 began in early 2020, the couple saw the writing on the wall and decided to make their dream of owning property in Maine a reality. In August 2020, they purchased Jamberry Farm and moved to Harrison, Maine.
The 33-acre budding homestead sits atop a hill in Southern Maine’s Lakes and Mountains Region. Harrison is a charming small town situated between Long Lake and Crystal Lake. In town, you’ll find everything you need for a visit to small-town New England. There are two general stores, a restaurant, an ice cream shop, a library, and a post office.
Should you need or want access to more, it’s a short drive to the larger towns of Norway and Bridgton, about an hour to Portland, and approximately 45 minutes to North Conway, New Hampshire, and the White Mountains. A 5- to 20-minute drive will take you to beautiful scenic hikes, cozy lake beaches, and meandering rivers where you can float or fish.
The farm is truly in the perfect location to experience all that this part of New England has to offer.
James and Adrienne have always enjoyed hosting friends and family from near and far. Adrienne has a degree in Hospitality Management and spent her career working in the service industry until she stepped away to stay home with her children. James is a carpenter whose craftsmanship shines through in projects all around the property, including their flagship rental accommodation, The Tiny House.
Jamberry Farm is a place where both of their experience and expertise come together to create a unique and personalized experience for their guests. It is their hope that when people come to stay at the farm, they feel safe, connected to the nature around them, and grounded in the peace and stillness that a slower life on a farm has to offer.
They hope guests will come and stay, enjoy the surrounding area and all it has to offer, and leave feeling refreshed and ready to re-enter their lives with a renewed sense of peace.

Please, NO pets!
Thank you for reading this entire description for rules and directions on how to get to Hidden Brook.
Hidden Brook is located on a small family-owned vegetable farm five minutes outside the village of Cornish, Maine. Three generations of farmers live here presently, but our family has been working this land since the mid 1700’s.
Cornish is a pretty special place to live and visit because we are about 50 minutes drive from both the city of Portland on the coast and the White Mountains to the west. There are tons of local hikes here in the foothills, two big rivers to float or paddle, dozens of swim spots, good fishing, and a lively little village with at least 7 antiques shops, local art, and some pretty darn good restaurants. Our neighborhood even hosts some of the best musicians in the world each July at The Ossippee Valley Music Festival. Yeah, we got it all going on! Come play with us or just chill at Hidden Brook.
So far, we have one spot open for “glamping”, The Bus, but we will add the Wagon this fall.
The Bus, an engineless 1973 Bluebird School bus is pretty pimped out. Though off the grid, cell reception is pretty good and rechargable lighting is provided. Our outdoor kitchen, on a spacious deck ( fenced in for kids ) includes a heavy duty propane stove, Yeti cooler and pots and pans. Indoors, there’s a slop-bucket sink for tooth-brushing (dishes are to be washed out on the deck ), a small woodstove to take off the chill come fall and a nice big fire pit outside. Wood is provided. Buses can get hot in summer, so we put ours in a shady little grove of ancient oaks amongst the remains of the farm’s original stonework and installed screens the full length of the bus. We built a compost-style outhouse and a beautiful outdoor shower we call “The Cold Drizzler” down in the old homestead cellar hole. Kind of a secret garden bathroom : )
Inside is a full-sized bed for one or two people and two cot-sized “75 long bunks, sleeping a total of four humans. Quality mattresses, sheets and blankets with a change of sheets and tons of pillows ought to provide a comfortable night’s sleep. Four towels and face cloths provided. Coffee and “pour-overs” on site as well as silverware, bowls and plates. All you really need is ice for the cooler and your food - or just go out to eat.
Check out our site as well! Wildcampmaine.com
Other things to note:
Absolutely no smoking inside
All shoes off before entering
Quiet hours from 9:30 pm to 6:30 am ( we live in a small community and wish to respect our neighbors )
This is not a party camp, but a place to relax and listen to the birds.
Please enjoy your music quietly.
This is a working farm, but we will be as sensitive as possible when it comes to any loud machinery use like irrigation pumps and tractors while guests are around. Our dogs may visit, but are laid back once they have anounced your arrival.
Directions to Hidden Brook and the Bus:
You will be given directions to an address once you book but please make sure that you follow the signage to the bus carefully, otherwise you’ll end up at the wrong property. Drive until you see two giant, eyeballs attached to a telephone pole, and the bus will be immediately after that on your right. Thank you so much.

2 nights at Jamberry Farm
There are places you stay, and then there are places that somehow feel like they were exactly what your soul needed at exactly the right time. Jamberry Farm was the latter for me.
From the moment I arrived, I felt an incredible sense of peace, comfort, and solitude. The property is absolutely beautiful, and there is something so special about being surrounded by nature, quiet, and the simple beauty of the farm. It was the kind of place where I could finally exhale, slow down, and just be.
I was especially grateful for how comfortable and safe I felt here. It never felt like I was simply another guest passing through. There was a warmth and thoughtfulness to the experience that made the stay feel personal and genuinely welcoming.
Jamberry Farm gave me something I desperately needed: a little solitude, a little beauty, and a chance to reset. I left with so much gratitude for this place and the people who have created such a beautiful little retreat.
I would absolutely stay here again and hope I get the opportunity to return someday, and hopefully for a longer visit next time. ❤️
Thank you for creating such a peaceful and special place. It was exactly the reset I needed.

Adrienne’s land offered us a very unique place to stay. It was essentially a tiny house on wheels, very comfortable.
We went to the homestead to watch the meter showers and it did not disappoint.
There were no mosquitoes! Not one bite laying out in there field. Not sure if that’s a good thing, but it does make the stay comfortable.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Brook At Merrifield Farm
This site is without a doubt one of the most charming places I have ever stayed at. Andrews is a phenomenal and gracious host. The surrounding area is beautiful and the camp site is off the grid without being desolate. They provided just about everything you could need for camping. If you get the chance, go see a sunrise at Sokokis Lake Overlook. You will not regret staying here!

I feel so fortunate to revisit this magical place in Maine. Last year I stayed in the bus and this year I was able to experience the wonder that is the new wagon, although wagon hardly describes it.
I felt like a pampered gypsy— connected to nature around me, and disconnect disconnected from my worries. Every detail was perfect from the sheets to the bed to the shower and the sound of the birds all around.
I was able to journal, hike, eat a delicious meal and shop in Cornish, get a deep sleep and return to Portland all in an overnight. Just wish I had more time.
If you want to experience Maine – – real Maine — then take advantage of this remarkable host and spot. I really can’t recommend it enough.

This place is a hidden gem! Quiet and tucked into the woods but easy to drive up to. Once inside you can see how much love was put into making this place - nothing is cookie cutter, everything is custom made to make this space feel Ike your own little hideaway. The outdoor kitchen is right out the door on the covered porch - complete with Yeti cooler and gas for the grill- I cooked up fresh asparagus and steak, made myself a little fire outside and had the most amazing meal. At night the whole place is warmly lit with twinkle lights and cozy bed. Even the compost toilet is brand new, spotless and set back in its own little spot. (No odor at all!). Shower area out back is also clean and new but I didn’t get the opportunity to try it out.
This place is perfect for a little romantic get away or a solo retreat to get some writing done. Huge value for the price - just the outdoor fire pit and spot is worth it but instead of having to pitch a tent you get your own little cozy wagon to sleep in.

Wow! Where does one start. It was the most peaceful 4 days I have had in almost 40 years. Everyone there was so nice, friendly and engaging. My dog and I enjoyed walks around the property and just relaxed. The accomodations were perfect, clean and just overall fantastic. I would definitely encourage everyone who is visiting the area to stay here. I have already started scheduling my next visit and will without a doubt stay there each time I visit which should be several times in the coming 12 months. Summing up the entire experience in 2 words would be .... Absolutely Wonderful! Thank you again Rebecca and please continue to push forward on your projects as daunting as they may seem at times. Looking back you and everyone who stays there will appreciate everything even more knowing that it was built by hand and hard work. Thank You so much for making our getaway absolutely perfect!

Sweet Fern Cabin was the perfect retreat. It was a beautiful mix of outdoors and coziness. A great place for bird watching and relaxing. The outdoor fire pit is a dream! It’s right on a hill next to the water and made for one of the most beautiful campfires I’ve experienced. Overall a fantastic stay, I will definitely be going back!

Where to go
Aroostook & the Highlands
Maine’s mountainous north is the stuff that hiker’s bucket lists are made of. The sprawling wilderness of Baxter State Park is the starting point of the epic Appalachian Trail and home to Maine’s highest peak—the 5,267-foot Mount Katahdin. Miles of hiking trails run through the highlands, along with some of the state’s best snowmobiling and cross-country skiing trails. To get on the water, head to Moosehead Lake, or try paddling and backcountry tent camping along the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.
Maine Lakes & Mountains
The hills and valleys of western Maine are peppered with high peaks and hundreds of glacial lakes, affording plenty of opportunities for a back-to-nature camping experience. Drive the High Peaks Scenic Byway for some of the most spectacular views, enjoy family camping at Sebago Lake State Park, or check into an RV park near Bethel, Naples, or Lewiston. In winter, rent a cozy ski chalet and hit the ski resorts of Sugar Loaf, Shawnee Peak, and Sunday River.
Southern Maine Coast
When summer temperatures soar, some of the most popular Maine campgrounds and beaches are found along the southwest shore. Head to the beach towns of Kennebunkport, Freeport, and Portland for old-fashioned seaside fun; go boating or kayaking around Casco Bay; then snag an RV site or cabin rental at the oceanfront campground in Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park.
Downeast & Acadia
Maine’s only national park, Acadia National Park, is the headline act of DownEast, the state’s rugged and rocky southeastern coast. Opt to stay on the mainland at Bar Harbor and head over to admire the park’s historic lighthouses and ocean views, or choose from multiple camping areas on the islands. Further north, the 15 coastal parklands of Cobscook Shores have picnic tables, boat launches, and backcountry camping sites.
