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.

Enjoy the perfect Maine camping experience on this peaceful three-acre lot, located approximately 500 feet from the beautiful Orange Lake boat launch.

If hiking is your passion, dozens of Bold Coast trails are just minutes from the campsite. Acadia National Park, scenic Schoodic Point, and Bar Harbor are only about an hour’s drive away.
After a day of exploring Maine’s natural beauty, return to the campsite for a meal around the campfire and picnic table, then settle in for a cozy night’s rest in a nostalgic 1972 Airstream Outlander camper.
Universally known for its iconic style, this Airstream has been tastefully renovated to include one full-size bed and one twin-size bed.
Please remember to bring your own bedding or sleeping bag and drinking water. A clean privy is located next to the Airstream, and a camp sink is available on site (non-potable water for washing hands and rinsing dishes). Refrigerator and electricity are provided.
Have a large camper to park for the night? This lot can easily accommodate an additional camper, with the Airstream serving as a bunkhouse or extra sleeping space. Electricity is available. Please note: the small camping stove inside the Airstream is not operational.

Such a cool spot! We booked it for 2 nights of our camping trip to have a place to hang out with possible rain in the forecast and planned to spend the first evening by the campfire. We arrived after dark and were warmly greeted by the host. He gave our dog Mabel a pat and let us know that he'd be just up the road if we needed anything, and even left us some firewood! I immediately felt at home stepping into the airstream, the heater already running and the lights left on for us. The trailer was clean and had some awesome vintage photos and picture books on display. The beds were clean and comfortable, and Mabel immediately claimed the twin bed for herself! It didn't rain that night but the airstream was so cozy we decided to skip the fire and go straight to the "back up plan" of snuggling up with the pup to watch a movie on the tablet. The next morning we headed for a hike at boot head, only a 15 minute drive away and saw some absolutely breathtaking views! We came back to the airstream for our campfire and had a blast...that's about when the rain showed up. I wasn't even disappointed, the sound of the rain hitting the metal roof was just as good as the crackling of a campfire. We absolutely loved our stay here! Thank you for the amazing memories!

Weekend Trip to Orange Lake Airstream.
Very fun retro camping “glamping??” Experience. The airstream is in great shape for being around 50 years old. The wood floors and counters re model were well done. Comfortable mattress in the back of the camper(didn’t try the one in the front) could probably sleep more than 3.
Hosts were very responsive and had someone drop off an extra heater even though the one they had was working and it was actually user error on my part. Unfortunately it doesnt seem original radio was working. There is electricity but as they state no cooking surface(we brought an electric griddle and it was perfect for the space) Bring something for shade the lot is very open and sun hits directly during the day.
For the price after fees it was a great place to stay!
If you place on launching a boat I would suggest driving down the hill (with AWD)all though it’s a steep drive back up.
Getting to the airstream was very easy and even though it’s on a dirt road it’s compacted well and should be easy for any car AWD or not(weather dependent)
It was a little under a 2 hour ride north of bar harbor and Acadia national park which we did both. Don’t miss out on a new hidden gem

1 night at Balsam Hill Cabins
We loved Sienna’s sweet lodging in the woodsy glen, and stayed an extra day to enjoy it. She was responsive and helpful throughout our stay and has thought of every detail inside the cabin and around- the bed was very comfortable, the outdoor shower delightful and we kept the side lifted for most of the day. We will definitely return and are telling all our friends about this wonderful spot!

1 night at Balsam Hill Cabins
I enjoyed staying in the cabin but unfortunately it was a one night stay and that one night was a big rain storm. Since I came in on a motorcycle and was already drenched it kind of hindered my ability to really enjoy everything this place had to offer. While I was stuck inside the cabin I found it incredibly clean, comfortable, and well appointed. I was surprised by the lack of bugs present seeing as there are many ways for them to get in as there are lots of gaps between the wood siding. I hope to return when I can enjoy the firepit and outdoor area another time.
The rain did provide a wonderful soundtrack to sleep to and the kitchen is well stocked with all you need to cook with.

What a great little spot! For how small and rustic the cabin is, it's nonetheless filled a thoughtful and useful array of amenities. Will absolutely be back.

2 nights at Balsam Hill Cabins
Planned a solo trip to unplug & reset, and couldn't have asked for a better spot. The cabin was even lovelier in person, perfect size, simple & charming... chilly at times but the space heater kept me warm. Amazing use of space... the little cooking area had everything you need but barely took up space. Saw more stars than I have in a long time. Loved the little bridge over a stream and the feeling of privacy & safety. Not much is nearby as far as amenities but great hiking along the coast (~25 minutes driving) was exactly what I needed. Linens were clean & smelled amazing. Will be back. Thank you Sienna! 🙏🏼🌲✨️
