We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the writer's cabin! We were looking for a unique experience outside of the usual hotel routine, and this completely blew us away. The entire stay was unforgettable. If you're looking for something special and different, this is it!

So good we almost want to gatekeep this one 😉 Such a charming location with enough privacy to totally unwind. We enjoyed paddling the (extremely tidal) river and watching the birds by the fire. We were offered the option to buy breakfast, which I would highly recommend.

A dreamy stay!
Writer's Cabin
We stayed in the writers cabin in the middle of chilly mud season and it was still magical! The wood stove kept us plenty warm and we loved the candles. It felt perfectly secluded and yet not too far off the path that we couldn’t make it to Acadia to hike. Will definitely be returning!

Peaceful Birthday Retreat
With pets ·
Writer's Cabin
I usually visit NYC for my birthday but this year I decided to try something completely different and this was the full 180 from NYC. Instead of waking to the honking of traffic, it was the beautiful sounds of birds (and the friendly roosters). Though it was cold, I went into this knowing to bundle up. I brought extra blankets and was plenty warm. As another review posted, I brought battery powered string lights and a few extra candles and loved reading in the cozy bed at night. We did go through a lot of wood so we bought another bundle. Sorry to the hosts for using so much wood and candlelight! The chickens were absolutely hilarious. They surrounded us every time we walked by. I loved the mellow horses and all of the other animals. It was difficult not to just hang out with them all day. We hiked around the land and went into town a few times. Everyone was so friendly. Highly recommend for nature lovers!

I proposed to my then girlfriend over my stay here! It was a fantastic site, beautiful views of the mud flats, we saw an abundance of animals as well. Quiet, serene, and a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend. The host family is incredibly friendly as well!

Terrific Stay!
Writer's Cabin
Kate and Zach were wonderful hosts, and we loved learning about their homesteading adventure and meeting their charming children. The cabin was cozy and perfect for our needs and we enjoyed candlelit evenings. You'll want to bring a table and whatever cooking equipment you require; we brought a solar shower as well. The cabin is a distance from the parking spot, and the cart provided for hauling gear was welcome. The view from the cabin over the tidal creek is lovely, and it was fascinating to observe the water level oscillate with the tides. The kayaks provided are right there, making it easy to go out for a short paddle to visit the bald eagles, ospreys and shorebirds. Zach periodically leads the sheep into the pasture near the cabin, and they sometimes come to greet you as you pass by. The goats are also very friendly and curious, as are the chickens who come running like long-lost friends to greet you when you pass by. From this base of operations, you can get provisions in nearby Milbridge -- try The Knotty Lobster for great lobster rolls you can eat on a picnic table facing the ocean in the wellness park just across the road. If you plan to cook, the seafood at Chipman's Wharf is top notch. We spent a day hiking the extraordinary Great Wass Island preserve, 40 minutes north. At low tide, it is simply amazing. And to the south are the trails of Petit Manan NWR in Steuben. All in all, a great place from which to explore a great part of the Maine coast.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights in August and we loved it. The cabin was cozy and the farm was gorgeous. Kate and Zach were accommodating. I would recommend staying here.

I absolutely loved staying here. It was so peaceful and calming. I brought my string lights with me to help light up the cabin and enjoyed falling asleep reading each night. I felt safe staying here alone but wished I was able to bring my SO as it felt romantic.

Gorgeous cabin and location!
Writer's Cabin
Wow! I really loved this place. Kate's cabin is so cute and thoughtful. Inside you'll find a comfy bed, candles, and a wood burning oven. The cabin is a quick walk into the woods from your car but Kate provides a wagon for transporting your things. Along your walk you'll get to see the horse, chickens, ducks, and goats. The outdoor area was the best tho. You have direct access to the water which rises and falls a whopping 12 feet, twice a day. So be sure to check the tide charts before you head out on the kayaks. There is a fire pit outside with wood provided and tons of forgeable kindling around. I would absolutely stay again. (:

Magical Experience!
Writer's Cabin
We had the most amazing time on at the cabin. The location was beautiful and private. The cabin’s ambiance and cozy vibes were immaculate. Ample firewood and plenty of space to get snuggled up. Additionally, a magical marsh to explore behind the property at both low and high tide. The vastness of the stars and nature here just added to the experience. It was everything we hoped it could be and more. Can’t wait to come back ✨🌲

Our stay was wonderful! The land is beautiful and Kate and Zack were so welcoming. There is a delightful mix of farm animal hustle and bustle, with quiet secluded cabin time. This is really a great place to rest and retreat, while also being a perfect home base for exploring the Bold Coast. Highly recommend for those of you who like the combination of adventure and solitude.

A cozy evening spent at the Writer'
Writer's Cabin
This was an incredible and unique experience! The views from the cozy cabin are stunning. The off-grid cabin allowed us to unplug and reconnect with nature. We were even greeted by a herd of goats in the morning! The hosts are fantastic and very responsive! I can't wait to come back to the Writers Cabin, what a great spot!

Beautiful farm with access to a stunning waterway. Hosts were incredibly hospitable and the baby goats might be the cutest farm animals I’ve ever seen. Would 100% stay again!
