Campers visiting this site will find a rustic retreat perfectly nestled by a babbling brook, surrounded by the beauty of wildflowers and the tranquility of nature. Many guests praised the comfortable sleeping arrangements, whether in a cozy cabin or a spacious bell tent. The hosts, Linda and her husband, are consistently noted for their attentiveness and hospitality, providing guests with little extras like lanterns, water, and firewood to enhance their stay. While some found the presence of wasps and mosquitoes a bit bothersome, the overall experience remains positive for those seeking a peaceful escape close to Acadia National Park.

Beautiful
This site was so refreshing ! Even with a day of rain the bell tent stayed dry! Cozy beds and bedding when we showed up ! The brook was beautiful and my daughter had a blast fishing. Happy we brought a wagon to get our things to the tent (although there was a wagon available but others already had it). The bathroom was a bit of a walk at night but it was well worth the peace and quiet for a few nights !

We enjoyed the fun rustic cabin and the firepit near the stream. Very peaceful.
Owners were responsive to questions.

Highly recommend
This tent camp set-up is great. Highly recommend.
Comfortable beds and setup in the tent, lighting and water and some fire wood was supplied to go along with 2 great fire pit options at our (Belle Brook) site. Porta potty on site.
We spent 3 nights and the location is excellent for accessing Acadia, Schoodic, the town of Ellsworth and many other gems of this part of the ME coast. Many thanks to the host!

We had a wonderful time! Spot is pretty isolated and the stars were beautiful at night. There is a big turkey so if you are scared just be forewarned

Lovely wooded location
I loved this spot! It was a short walk from the parking area, through the edge of a field, over a small bridge across a little creek, to the tent site next to a larger stream. There was a fire pit, chairs, and picnic table at the camp site, and of course the bell tent! Linda is a wonderful host and provided supplies like a lamp, fire starting fluid, and a jug of water at the site. The bell tent is furnished and Linda gave me extra blankets and sheets for the mattress, and gave me a head lamp when she noticed I did not have a flashlight on me. Absolutely would recommend!
It rained a lot overnight while I was there. The tent was fine throughout the night! The parking area did have a large puddle in the morning, but the ground is solid so there was no mud.

Perfect for Nature Lover
I had an amazing two-night stay at this charming, storybook cabin. It's just as described—peaceful, surrounded by beautiful trees and a rushing brook, and perfectly located near Acadia National Park. The short walk through the field added to the charm, and the rustic, off-grid experience with no electricity or plumbing made it a perfect nature retreat. The lofted bed was cozy, and evenings by the firepit under the stars were unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet escape close to nature!

Mixed feelings
· September 2024
Linda and her husband are wonderful attentive hosts. Thinking of the little things to keep your stay as relaxing as possible. Slight issue with wasps sneaking in through cracks looking to winter from cooler season coming. They took care of them right away. Beautifully clean linens and extra blankets were great for the quick drop of temperatures at night. Other campsites through the woods but the cabin feels very private in the beautiful field of wildflowers. 40 minutes to Acadia and bar harbor which was breathtaking. Beautiful location.

The most accommodating Hipcamp we’ve been to! Linda and her husband are so kind, with offers to haul our belongings to the sight and letting us borrow their blow torch to get our fire going. Would highly recommend staying here!

Such a nice little spot
We arrived in the middle of the night after a very long drive. Linda’s directions were perfect. We were able to find our spot as easily as possible in the dark. Linda was also kind enough to leave us some water and a charcoal grill at our site. The stars the first night we were there were absolutely amazing. Our spot was perfect and exactly as described. Quiet and beautiful. The s’mores kits were adorable. We had a great stay and I highly recommend.

Rustic retreat with charm
Linda was a great host and we had a nice time. The rustic cabin was charming and having a gas grill to cook and a fire pit doqn by the water made it a perfect getaway. Having a woofstove to take the edge off the cool fall evenings was a bonus!

Would Visit Again!
Our stay at the saw mill slumber was wonderful! Linda was so accommodating with the wagon, water jug, and extra little things that made the stay more comfortable. I suggest bringing water shoe for the river. The rocks were a little sharp but it was very refreshing.

Beautiful off Grid Cottage
This sweet cabin was exactly what we were looking for! It was rustic, thoughtfully appointed with bedding, fresh water. It was very peaceful and quiet. We were lucky enough to have spectacular thunderstorm pass over us in the middle of the night which I truly enjoyed.
Bathing in the stream behind our cabin was quite special to me as were the beautiful wildflower meadows we were surrounded by. My favorite part about our stay was visiting with the geese, ducks and turkey on the property. They stayed close to the main residence but were eager to snack on bread when we left.
Loved every part of our stay!!!

so relaxing!
This place was the perfect respite in the middle of a week of heavy camping. We loved swimming in the creek behind the house and the bed in the loft was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The cabin was cute and private and the hosts were friendly and responsive.

Nice and recommended!
We came here late on a not planned stay lately booked. Linda was really nice, helping us out with stuff. Since it was dark we diidn't see the site for real til the next morning. We saw the big flowerly land and the great cabin - under the apple tree.... And the funny ducks, goose and turkey! Would love to come again one day!

Acadia Trip
The cabin was exactly as described. It was perfectly quaint, very private and quiet. Our primary goal of the trip was to spend as much time at Acadia National Park and we accomplished that goal. That said, the brook was very nice and we checked it out a bit, but did not really utilize it to fish or otherwise. A great bonus feature, however! We stayed the first weekend in August, so temperatures were good. As I would expect, the cabin was hot during the day and into the late afternoon, but cooled off eventually throughout the evening. For those that have experienced rustic cabins, this fit the needs, and then some. The drive to Acadia was easy going and many places to stop along the way for necessities, etc. We left on average around 7 AM for our adventures which got us to Acadia around 8 o’clock for parking, which worked out perfectly for our family! Linda was very kind and communicated efficiently, as I had a few last-minute questions prior to leaving for our trip. Her turkey, chickens, and ducks are very, very cool as well!

Sawmill Slumber Stay
Perfect spot right next to the river, and the yurt is very spacious! The bathroom and sink area is very clean as well. No complaints from two other people or myself! We also couldn’t get enough of the Turkey, geese, ducks, and chickens, they were the best!

Perfection
The place was magical! The tent was spacious, comfortable, and pretty. The grounds were private, beautiful and clean. We loved cooking and sleeping right on the river. My 6 year old son caught a fish on his first cast! We are definitely coming back. Best place we have ever camped.

Everything was wonderful! As advertised, this is a no electricity no plumbing cabin, but there are candles, and a lantern as needed. I would suggest bringing along more lanterns, and they have provided hooks in the ceiling beams for that! There is a porta potty behind the house, with a large wash sink as needed for water and washing dishes. Felt like a slice of heaven, even with the bugs! She provided citronella candles for the tables and there are tiki torches as well. Honestly, it was very relaxing and peaceful. We forgot that she was nearby! Gorgeous open field with wildflowers leading up to the little cabin and a burbling stream in the back of the space. Acadia is about 45+ mins from the cabin, and Walmart is around 15-20 mins. Everything is close by. There is a cot inside the cabin and she provided an inflatable mattress with a pump as well! Overall, highly recommend and we would definitely return! Thank you!

Lovely get-away
Linda and family were truly wonderful hosts! The Graham Cracker Cabin and area were well setup. For instance, solar powered lanterns light the way to the sinks and bathrooms after hours. The cabin itself is cute, and the fire pit was a perfect evening activity. Overall a lovely place.

Lovely cabin, lovely hosts!
What a wonderful place to spend some time bonding with my son. A beautiful cabin, incredible hosts, and so many memories packed into a short period of time. Hotdogs (red of course) over a campfire, bacon and eggs in the morning over a wood stove, fishing at the abundant (my son caught and released 30-35 fish) brook, and sleeping with the sound of that same brook to lull you to sleep. If you are looking for a rustic place to stay … this is it!
