The Artist's Getaway Cabin
The cabin was cozy and adorable. It felt like waking up in a treehouse. Kimba was incredibly responsive and helpful!

The Artist's Getaway Cabin
We needed a place to stay near Lake St.George with our pup on short notice. We camp a lot, and bring our dog everywhere with us. It's a rural area, very peaceful. Not far to Belfast. It's a cute and clean little cabin, no running water, but easy to manage. Power and A/C, great cell coverage. I recommend having a camp fire, and watching the stars on a clear night. Kimba was a great host and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed.

The Artist's Getaway Cabin
My husband and I and our small dog had a wonderful 2-night stay! The cabin & property is just as described in the listing. Adventurous spirits will love this unique Maine woods cabin experience paired with creature comforts like a king bed in a lovely air-conditioned bedroom.
The cabin is a clean, welcoming and uncluttered space. We were welcomed with thoughtful extras we would not have expected, including fresh strawberries in the refrigerator, delicious homemade donuts and a hand-painted greeting card.
It felt like waking up in a treehouse, surrounded by forest and sunshine. We saw monarch butterflies, a hummingbird, and from the porch at dusk we watched 4 bats swooping overhead.
We appreciated the use of the canoe that Kimba and Jordan dropped off for us to use at nearby Chisholm Pond.
We brought salads etc for easy meals and cleanup, so the fact that the cabin doesn’t have plumbing was not an issue for us. There was plenty of water provided including some bottled water.
Make sure you check out nearby Lake St George Brewing including their new ‘lakeside bar’… great beers, mellow atmosphere, food truck, live music outdoors… and we got to watch 7 loons while enjoying our beers!
Thank you to our kind and communicative hosts for a great stay!

This was such a nice campsite! Right by a small stream and was very private and spacious. Follow the directions carefully and you will get there just fine!

I spent just short of a month at Kimba’s Nature Hostel as the first stop on a sort of walkabout, and I may have fallen for Maine. First and foremost, the hospitality I received made me feel like I was an old friend stopping by after an extended absence. In reality, I’m happy to call the host of this mushroom paradise a new friend that I will be sure to see again.
While visiting Maine Maker’s Society (Kimba’s art coop a few miles down the road) for a quick shower (at first), I was offered food and drink, lively conversation, as well as destination recommendations and lessons in local flora and fauna. The food was delicious, the recommendations lived up to the hype, and I walked away knowing just a little about Maine’s wildlife. I really could not have dreamed of a better place to start wandering the country.
If you are thinking the location is a little out of the way, it is true, the property certainly offers seclusion. However, driving to Moosehead Lake, Acadia, and other well-known Maine destinations allows you to enjoy winding country roads, numerous farm stands, and a Bob Ross palette of colors if traveling in early autumn. If you are looking for a getaway in the woods, stay here! Walk the grounds and notice the hundreds of species of fungi growing everywhere (literally identified about 150+ species using the Seek and Picture Mushroom apps), or turn over a log to find some salamanders. I recommend watching “Fantastic Fungi” prior to your trip to awaken your inner mycologist. Tree frogs and toads may even pass by to check out your camp. Red squirrels and chipmunks will chat your ear off during the day and torture any canines who think themselves skilled hunters. At night, the owls may sing you the tragedy of Loki, the Australian Shepherd, who ran into a porcupine on a small gravel road a few miles from the property and then had to deal with the laughing squirrels while groggy on pain medication from the vet. Warning: be careful with your pets, I learned the hard way.
If fungi and critters aren’t your thing, start a fire and relax while listening to the cold, crystal water of the stream right next to the campsite, or enjoy the numerous ponds and lakes you can find within a short distance. Whatever you are looking for, Kimba, I’m sure, will help you find your way. Happy camping!

Quiet and quaint, along with service for t mobile! A beautiful forest filled area along with that. Kimba was very welcoming and was quick to give me recommendations for things to do both around the sight and in Maine. Along with leaving scones and a very nice outhouse to use. I would gladly stay again. Thanks Kimba!

We spent 2 nights at Stoner Hill. Kimba and Jordan were helpful and accommodating canvas site was nice, in the Woods by a stream. We had some difficulty finding Stoner Hill - Google Maps tried to take us to the upper and Stone Hill Road lights turned out to be a hay field. Make sure you drive around to the are there end of Stone Hill road.

We moved from Utah and needed a place to stay because my fiancé started work before we could move into an apartment. Stoner Hill was definitely an upgrade from our primitive campground (fire ring + place to park) in the White Mountains and Kimba was super helpful and friendly.
