Weekend Trip to The Bird's Nest-Private Tiny House
I had the BEST two nights staying at the Bird’s Nest! It was so beautiful and cozy. The weather held out long enough to enjoy walking through the trails on the property, and building a fire in the wood stove was perfect for the rainy and chilly evening. Lisa is a wonderful host and put so much thought into everything one might need while staying here. I hope to be back again soon!

2 nights at The Bird's Nest-Private Tiny House
What an awesome spot! The Birds Nest doesn’t disappoint. The Nest sits on the same property as the owner but it’s far enough away that you can’t even see anything. Such a magical little cabin with an awesome wood stove that will keep you more than cozy. Everything was nice and clean/tidy….the outhouse was the same.
Amazing location for hiking.
World class fly fishing in the Carrabassett River not far away.
Me and the ole girl and I can’t wait to come back!!

1 night at The Bird's Nest-Private Tiny House
I loved staying here with my dog! They were so thoughtful in both building and stocking the tiny house. I had everything I needed for a cozy night away from town and my dog loved running through the woods. They have well marked trails throughout. It was perfect!

1 night at The Bird's Nest-Private Tiny House
Lisa was amazing about communicating before and during my trip. She was also super helpful on directing me to the perfect spot to watch the sunset. The Brid's Nest was exactly as described, and. a fun cabin to stay in. It is a little bit of a walk up to the cabin, but there is a wagon to help load up your suitcases. Sunrise through the trees the next morning was absolutely beautiful along with my drive to my next destination. If you don't mind glamping without the extra fluff, I recommend staying here!

We enjoyed staying at this cute and cozy tiny house. It was very private and we loved being able to let our dog wander the woods. The fire pit and outdoor seating area were perfect for a chilly evening, and morning!
Thanks for sharing, Lisa and Brent!

We loved camping on Mark and Bonnie’s land. It was the perfect getaway! Everything was so organized and all the cooking ware was labeled, which made it super easy to find things. Our pups enjoyed running the trails and exploring. We are definitely planning to come back!

2 nights at Shaky Barn Farm
My partner and I had an absolutely amazing time staying at this campsite. All the little touches are so thought out and they really provided everything we could think we need. 100% recommend the flower bouquet because they’re beautiful and now we get to hang and dry them to keep 🙂 the lower field was fun to sunbathe and relax in and has an extra fire pit with a picnic table if you wanted to make lunch or something in the field. We thought we would be eaten alive by bugs but that wasn’t the case at all, however we did bring several citronella candles( in addition to what they supplied) so that probably helped. Cell service was a lot better than expected as well! Highly recommend going to nezinscot farm while you’re here as well. We will absolutely come back to this campsite as much as we’re able to. Thank you Bonnie and Mark!

We loved it so much last year, we came back! A year later everything we loved is the same, and better. Bonnie and Mark are such a great couple - hospitable and responsive. They gave us the space we desired this trip. The camp really is a little gem perched on a hill in the forest, with all the amenities you need for a comfortable, peaceful, and fun stay! The bed in the tent is really comfortable, and the solar powered fan came in handy on a muggy night, before the breeze blew it out for picture perfect weather. The camp is shady on a hot day, yet the sun trickles through the trees beautifully. A huge bonus is the large sunny field you have to yourself for playing lawn games. The kitchen canopy offered everything you need to prepare a full meal, although we opted to use the fire pit area with optional cooking screen to cook most of our meals - a great way to slow down. We love the fragrant carpet of dried pine needles to go from space to space - it really is an experience to remember and we vow to add more days on next time. And be sure to treat yourself to a bouquet of flowers - I am enjoying camp memories here back at home. Don't hesitate to hit the BOOK NOW button - you will be happy with staying at Bonnie and Mark's!

This was such an amazing place to stay! It is very private and very spacious, which was perfect for me and my dogs. It allowed us to enjoy the space without being right next to others, which sometimes makes my dogs a bit anxious. There were a lot of storms while we were there but the site has lots of trees so we stayed fairly dry and there is also a screen house where we could go to hang out while it was raining or to get away from bugs for a bit. The hosts were so nice and very responsive, and have really added so much to this site to make it feel like a home away from home. I can’t wait to come back again and I highly recommend to anybody who is staying in the area.

This site was fantastic! Aside from being quite aesthetically pleasing, the site was set up very well. We appreciated the convenience of the electricity, large bug-free spaces, and the thoughtfully set up kitchen area. I would recommend the flower bouquet option - it was gorgeous!
