## Overview

Please, NO pets!



Thank you for reading this entire description for rules and directions on how to get to Hidden Brook.



Hidden Brook is located on a small family-owned vegetable farm five minutes outside the village of Cornish, Maine. Three generations of farmers live here presently, but our family has been working this land since the mid 1700’s. 



Cornish is a pretty special place to live and visit because we are about 50 minutes drive from both the city of Portland on the coast and the White Mountains to the west. There are tons of local hikes here in the foothills, two big rivers to float or paddle, dozens of swim spots, good fishing, and a lively little village with at least 7 antiques shops, local art, and some pretty darn good restaurants. Our neighborhood even hosts some of the best musicians in the world each July at The Ossippee Valley Music Festival. Yeah, we got it all going on! Come play with us or just chill at Hidden Brook.



So far, we have one spot open for “glamping”, The Bus, but we will add the Wagon this fall.



The Bus, an engineless 1973 Bluebird School bus is pretty pimped out. Though off the grid, cell reception is pretty good and rechargable lighting is provided. Our outdoor kitchen, on a spacious deck ( fenced in for kids ) includes a heavy duty propane stove, Yeti cooler and pots and pans. Indoors, there’s a slop-bucket sink for tooth-brushing (dishes are to be washed out on the deck ), a small woodstove to take off the chill come fall and a nice big fire pit outside. Wood is provided. Buses can get hot in summer, so we put ours in a shady little grove of ancient oaks amongst the remains of the farm’s original stonework and installed screens the full length of the bus. We built a compost-style outhouse and a beautiful outdoor shower we call “The Cold Drizzler” down in the old homestead cellar hole. Kind of a secret garden bathroom : )



Inside is a full-sized bed for one or two people and two cot-sized “75 long bunks, sleeping a total of four humans. Quality mattresses, sheets and blankets with a change of sheets and tons of pillows ought to provide a comfortable night’s sleep. Four towels and face cloths provided. Coffee and “pour-overs” on site as well as silverware, bowls and plates. All you really need is ice for the cooler and your food - or just go out to eat.

Check out our site as well!

Other things to note:



Absolutely no smoking inside



All shoes off before entering



Quiet hours from 9:30 pm to 6:30 am ( we live in a small community and wish to respect our neighbors )



This is not a party camp, but a place to relax and listen to the birds.



Please enjoy your music quietly.



This is a working farm, but we will be as sensitive as possible when it comes to any loud machinery use like irrigation pumps and tractors while guests are around. Our dogs may visit, but are laid back once they have anounced your arrival.



Directions to Hidden Brook and the Bus:



You will be given directions to an address once you book but please make sure that you follow the signage to the bus carefully, otherwise you’ll end up at the wrong property. Drive until you see two giant, eyeballs attached to a telephone pole, and the bus will be immediately after that on your right. Thank you so much.

## Recent reviews

> My husband and I loved the purple bus! We are tent campers, glampers, also sometimes lodging and this was a beautiful experience! Andrews is very thoughtful with everything included and maximizing space within the bus as well. We had a great mix of weather, and early morning rain hitting the roof of the bus with the wood fire stove was therapeutic. Andrews was super helpful, easy to communicate with, and responsive. I highly recommend this site to anyone who is like me, where you sift through several options paying attention to every detail!

> What an incredible place to stay! Relaxing and well appointed. Andrews has created a remarkable experience for her guests. We stayed the night while en route to Bar Harbor and found that this purple bus had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable evening. We cooked, played games, hung out by the fire and slept well in the spotless and homey bus. 5 stars!
