Earn this patch by being the first to spend a night outside at a new Hipcamp.
A stylish off-grid cottage in the middle of nature, yet just a short walk from the lovely Maine village of Waldoboro. More photos to come as I finish construction! Open floor layout (12 x 18) with spacious ceiling height, including a 13' front wall with large antique windows overlooking a private wooded view. The back wall is 8' high. A separate small building contains the outhouse and hot-water shower (photos to come). The listing is set for 2 guests max, but note that the bed is a sofa bed sized as a double/full.
The space
This is an off-grid one-room living space on the edge of my 3-acre wooded and pasture lot, with my house about 250' away on the other side of the pasture. The cottage has its own one-car parking space about 100' away.
This is a peaceful retreat from busy, more “normal” living spaces, with no electricity. It includes a two-burner propane cooktop, a propane-powered cube fridge with a small freezer, and a kitchen sink with hot and cold water.
A comfortable IKEA sofa bed allows for a good night’s rest (double/full size when not a sofa) and quickly converts to a more open living area during the day.
The sofa bed includes a storage compartment that easily holds the bedding and pillows, which are all provided. An antique drop-leaf table offers adjustable space for eating, writing, or working.
Four chairs are provided (two permanent, two folding for additional guests). A small dresser, cookware, plates, bowls, mugs, glasses, utensils, etc. are included. French press coffee, a kettle, and tea are also provided. Basic cooking condiments are supplied. Stylish LED lights recharge via a USB solar battery (also used for charging phones and tablets). There are also oil lamps.
The door has a Bluetooth-enabled keypad lock.
The outhouse/shower is in a separate building next to the cottage, featuring hot and cold water for the shower and a composting toilet in an adjacent space. A table with a wash basin is also in the shower room. Towels and washcloths are provided.

Other things to note This is an off-grid cottage and are for those looking for a unique adventure and a simpler way to live, yet this means some compromises:
- no wifi, but there is cell coverage. Wifi can be found a the lovely local cafe Perch, and at the Library, all right in the village.
- bathroom is not in the cottage but in another outdoor building next to the cottage, and it is a composting toilet/rustic outhouse, doesn't flush.
- water pressure may be less than a normal house, but there is hot and cold water. Kitchen sink water is not drinkable, but there is drinkable water provided in a dispenser in the kitchen.
