100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

We built this cabin recently with siblings and a few skilled friends to make a getaway place for the extended family. It is built on property adjacent to our fruit farm which is slowly building up to full production with a kiwi orchard planted, ramps seeded, and a producing strawberry hoophouse for early ripening fruit. We move our horse and pony around to different fields during the warmer months, and keep pekin ducks (the white ones) (now all in retirement!). The farm is 78+ acres with logging roads and is located on a quiet road. Food markets and some good places to eat are within 6-7 miles. There is an outdoor shower, a nice outhouse, a campstove, oil lamps etc - so it's is very old fashion yet comfortable cabin stay! Bring your own towels and maybe some candles. Plenty of board games, and maps of our local hikes and places to explore. If you come in the fall you should know that the roof is insulated but the walls are not - so layer up, bring extra blankets, and hugging the woodstove might be necessary! This is a great location to explore the midcoast of Maine!Our lovely off-grid cabin is located on a quiet part of our organic fruit farm here in midcoast Maine. There are trails behind the cabin and you are welcome to take a tour of the farm plots and visit the horses if out in the pasture. In August you may be able to rake some blueberries right out the door - if you can beat the birds to them! We built the cabin just a few years ago for family to enjoy and found there was plenty of time during the warmer seasons for others to enjoy it as well. We are located in lovely midcoast Maine with lots to see and do if you like to take walks and explore and perhaps do some paddling. Our local trail guide shows the most public walking and hiking trails in our town in the entire county - so pretty cool! The Camden Hills are just to our north, the boat ferry is out to Monhegan Island is just a jaunt down the road, we have a great low key lobster place we like to recommend….it’s not Bar Harbor and we like it that way! Fall is the perfect time to visit Maine - stunning views with our fall foliage display, often warm days to hike and paddle and cool nights to cozy up to the inside wood cookstove. But mostly - on this quiet road - why don’t you just sleep in and relax! Why rush? Cook a meal on the outside fire…..read in the rocking chair in the roomy screened porch. Besides dining in the screened porch there is an eat-in kitchen and living space with a two burner campstove as well as the wood cookstove, and a main floor separate bedroom. Sleeping arrangements include the bedroom with a full size bed, a loft with a full sized futon and twin size mattress on the floor, and the living space has a couch which can be opened to a full sized futon (watch your fingers when opening it out!). Sheets are provided with some light summer blankets and we ask you to bring your own blankets if concerned about cooler nights and your own towels. We have a few oil lanterns, and candle holders (do bring some!) and bring flashlights for trips to outhouse or reading at night! There's an outdoor raised fire pit with seating provided, an enclosed outdoor shower with solar water bags and a water bucket/ladle (heat up some water in the teapot to warm it up!) , and an outhouse. We ask that you park and leave your vehicle at the stone wall opening as the field is starting to be restored. We are 6 miles to supermarkets and misc. local eateries and there are lots of parks and protected areas to explore.

Perfectly appointed off grid cabin, spacious and welcoming feeling. Be prepared that it's very buggy around the cabin and do enjoy the screened in porch. The canoe and nearby access areas are an idyllic scene and activity. The hosts were genuinely friendly. We plan to revisit.

Was as listed! Great place to unplug..is quiet, beautiful, simple. Gas cook stove a huge plus. Wood cookstove was great for chilly evening… Clean, easy to navigate, 20 min to beaches. Lots of hiking trails very close by as well. Just make sure you have a flashlight or two! Especially walking to the outhouse Would definitely go back if schedule allows

We had our wedding at Otyokwa and booked the cabin as additional housing! Barbara's communication was great and it is a lovely resource to have close by for any events that are held nearby at Otyokwa.

great, well-maintained cabin a short drive outside of Waldoboro. has all the essentials you'd need while still maintaining an "off the grid" feel. it was actually quite a lot bigger than I expected and felt roomy with plenty of space to relax between the main room, indoor porch, and fire pit. would recommend bringing extra water and proper flashlights just in case

The cabin was exactly as listed. It was clean and cozy. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get off the grid and still be close to town and other attractions.

The cabin was perfect for my fiance, our dog, and myself. The dog had plenty of room to run around and it's very peaceful. I love the Wood stove and the view of the sun coming up through the bedroom window was wonderful. The shower isn't fun when it's been cloudy all day because the water isn't warm but it didn't really bother us at all. The lanterns provide a nice glow in the cabin when it's dark and the porch so very cozy. The only negative thing I can say is that it's hard to do the dishes without running water but for the price we paid and the lovely time we had I can't complain.

Comfortable and peaceful stay

With kids

We could tell as soon as we got there that there is much care and love put into this place. We enjoyed a peaceful and comfortable two night stay, and we're lucky to have great weather. We used the provided camp stove to make breakfast and coffee and cooked dinner on the fire pit. Plenty of wood was provided on request including kindling. We loved it there so much we might be planning a stay in the fall when it will be colder and we can use the beautiful wood stove! Absolutely loved it. Thank you Barbara for being such a gracious and attentive host!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barbara’s cabin. It is very spacious yet cozy. Lots of fields and woods provide tranquility and a safe spot for our dogs. We especially enjoyed the large screened porch. We were glad to have our lantern and flashlight … and bug spray. ( not any more buggy than the rest of the state. Ha)

Did not want to leave!

We love the cabin at White Duck Farm. The cabin was incredibly neat and clean. It is a beautiful home tucked into great mid-coast spot. The fireflies in the field at night can be enjoyed from the screened in porch/dining room. Dreamy!! It is a tranquil spot and close to great attractions like the Old Alewives Brewery (get a couple of pizzas), Pemaquid lighthouse, and Treats bakery in Wiscasset. Taking a sun shower in the field at White Duck is the Maine equivalent to our traditional New England ritual where we grew up: the outside shower. Bring a beach towel or a plush robe for apres sun shower. We packed flashlights and our camp lights for after sundown but the oil lamps in the cabin provide plenty of light. This time of year means remembering to pack your Badger Balm Bug Spray for skeeters (we forgot it!). Paintings, a cool wood stove, and a pristine privy are all part of the charm of this place. Our hosts were so super kind and communicative and helped us with recommendations. Check-in/out was a breeze and directions to the property were clear and easy to follow. We absolutely recommend this awesome place! Thank you!

A great experience!

The cabin was much bigger than expected and provided plenty of room for just me and my boyfriend. You could absolutely fit a small family in there! It felt very private behind the field but just close enough to the road that it didn't feel super isolated. Barbara was very communicative the entire trip and let us know the local happenings to check out! It rained the entire first day of our trip, but the cabin was dry and cozy, especially after lighting a fire in the wooden stove. There are kerosene lamps provided, and the kitchen is well equipped. There are lots of games provided in the cabin for night time activities, but mind the cabin inside gets dark quickly. There are a few cute towns and lots of antique shops around to explore if you don't like hiking. We are already planning our return to this cute little cabin and the peaceful nature surrounding. This was such a treat to start our summer adventures.

My dogs and I love staying at the cabin. Such a beautiful spot on the edge of a field. Gorgeous wildflowers. Barbara was very accommodating when I fell down near Pemaquid and broke my wrist. Can't wait to go back again!

Quiet cabin in the woods

We were planning to spend the weekend in the area and this was just what we needed. The camp was private, well maintained and clean, and had everything we could need. Both the wood stove and the outdoor fire pit were all set up for us. We enjoyed playing games by kerosene lamp and had a restful sleep both nights. Barbara was quick to respond and checking in and out was simple. We plan on keeping this one on our list of places to stay while in the area!

Charming cabin

With pets

Gorgeous cabin on the edge of the woods! My dogs and I spent most of our time on the huge screen porch. Just about everything you couldn't was supplied. Plenty of water, solar shower, camp stove, fire pit, dishes, coffee press. I could move in there and be perfectly happy!

Serene, indeed! Great layout, comfortable bed with space to sit and enjoy coffee inside and out. The screened in deck offered an ideal place to enjoy sunrise or sunset, and to enjoy the sounds of this charming farm.

Barbara and Chris' farm is a beautiful spot. Very quiet yet close to town. They grow an abundance of veggies and a greenhouse full of raspberries. Cabin has a well-equipped simple kitchen. Clean, well-maintained outhouse. Fantastic screen porch for dining and a field full of blueberries. The solar power was out but we did well with all of the kerosene lanterns. Ask Chris about the best swimming hole and hiking right down the road. We got some lobsters right off the boat at Community Shellfish in Bremen -- say hello to Anthony threre.

Simple comfort, Fireflies, open sky

With pets

I came here alone with my dog for a solo retreat into the woods, and the peace and quiet was just what I was looking for. Barbara’s cabin was super sweet—very clean, well stocked with kitchen and lighting supplies, with a lovely porch overlooking the field on the property. Both nights I had a fire in the fire pit—I steamed clams in one of the pots in the kitchen and roasted corn over the fire. Got to watch a beautiful cloud show play out over the open field and enjoyed the fireflies lighting up the woods. It was quite buggy but overall that’s my only complaint! I just used a lot of bug spray and that was helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay, Barbara :)

I loved my time at Barbara and Chris's cabin. There's no other campsites and you're surrounded by trees and a lovely field. There were suprisingly not a lot of bugs while I was there. I might have gotten lucky but I always come prepared. The whole place is clean, orderly and thoughtfully put together. Barbara is friendly and amazingly quick to respond to questions. I'm definitely coming back!

Very quiet

Group trip

It was a wonderful retreat for us. No running water and no electricity made the cabin very very quiet. It also meant we only stayed 2 nights! Since we were there in the fall, we were too chicken to take an outdoor shower! We did enjoy the wood burning stove and used it to warm the house and a few leftover biscuits.

Soooo peace filled! After just moving out of our intown apartment, this place was a much needed respite! It was lovely to simply rest and take in the simple beauty of the moment. I LOVED the wood stove! It is much like the one on my old farm, so I felt right at home. It's a fast stove, in that it heats up quickly, and bursts very high heat, so DO mind the pots! (FYI: Green wood helps temper the heat and spread it out more) So nice to cook on it, and reconnect with the earth honoring, satisfying actions of living simply, quietly, peacefully. Loved walking the trails with my dog, enjoying the birdcalls, he taking in all the smells. When we were indoors, we really liked getting an eye full of forest out of the big windows. On our first morning, a flock of grackles moved through, sifting leaves and looking for grubs, and all of us (dog, cat and moi) were transfixed with wonder as we watched them. Sitting out on the porch in the afternoon light as it crawled across the meadow...so serene! The loons added their calls at dawn and dusk each day, and I so needed to hear them. Enjoyed the farm tour, and learning about the interesting crops Barbara grows. Chris's paintings adorn the walls of the cottage. My fave? The one with a seagull and eagle at the fishladder. Those two are having a conversation! I look forward to coming back to hear the woods come alive with birds during the long slow unfolding of spring. This place is exactly what we needed!
