Stuart Little’s dream house is an off-grid cabin on the edge of the woods, in the backyard of our home. The cabin is perfect for people who are camping, but want a little more accommodation. It has two futons that can turn into double beds, table and chairs, small porch, outhouse, limited power and a picnic table. Bring your sleeping bag, headlamp, camp stove, and you are all set! There are also places to pitch a tent, if desired. We are just a mile down the road from where EB White lived. The setting of Stuart Little's dream house (our yard) gives a glimpse into some real Maine living: Boats and boat trailers, a rambling garden, and often a free pile at the end of the driveway. *Note: There is no heat or/ac. There is limited power via an extension chord for a couple devices. We do sometimes lose power if it is windy. *Note: There is no kitchen. camp stove + fuel can be rented for $5/night *Note: Please bring a sleeping bag. Otherwise, bedding/linens can be rented at $10/bed. *Hip Camp likes to say we are less than an hour to Acadia National Park, but I feel that is misleading. It's usually about 1.5 hours to get to any of the trails/beaches. See site profile for more information.

Tucked among spruce, fir, and birch on Sunshine Island in Deer Isle–Stonington, Four Acre Woods began more than 60 years ago as a small, family-run campground known as Sunshine Campground. Travelers from across the world visited this quiet island forest, drawn to its raw beauty and the peaceful energy that generations before us had loved and cared for. The campground eventually closed in the 1990s and sat untouched for over 15 years—its trails, clearings, and old campsites slowly reclaimed by the woods. The land waited, quietly, for someone to bring it back to life. In the years that followed, Caleb, a longtime local operator on the island, took interest in the property. Recognizing both its history and its potential to offer people a deeper experience of Deer Isle’s natural beauty, he began the process of carefully restoring and reopening the land. Working season by season, Caleb rebuilt the sites, added new infrastructure, re-established utilities, and designed a campground that honors the land’s roots while offering a comfortable, modern, and nature-forward experience for today’s guests. In July 2020, the property reopened under a new name: Four Acre Woods. Today, it blends the spirit of the original Sunshine Campground with thoughtful stewardship, simple comforts, and a deep respect for the forest that surrounds it. Visitors once again gather under the birches and spruces—sharing campfires, slow mornings, quiet nights, and the timeless island calm that makes this land so special. So— Welcome Home. Sincerely, The Caretakers of Four Acre Woods

Arbor Camp is a collection of thoughtfully designed cabins and treehouses set on 30 private acres in the Maine woods offering a secluded forest retreat on the Union River—private and peaceful, yet just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and year-round charm of downtown Ellsworth. Located 30 minutes north of Acadia National Park, it’s an ideal base for exploring the mountains, woods, lakes, and rugged shoreline that define Downeast Maine. With nearly half a mile of river frontage, a stream, and over a mile of hand-cut walking trails, Arbor Camp’s thirty acres provide ample space to unwind without leaving the grounds. Two cabins and a treehouse sit in an open field with wide views of the river and its passing wildlife. The remaining treehouses are thoughtfully spaced across 25 acres of quiet forest, offering privacy and a sense of deep immersion in the trees. Many enjoy filtered river views through the canopy. Each season brings its own pleasures: temperate summer days and cool, starlit evenings; fall foliage and crisp air; the stillness of snow-covered woods in winter; and, in spring, a quiet reawakening as color and life return to the forest. Arbor Camp began in 2022, when three friends came together to build a quiet place in the woods. Thirty acres along the Union River in Ellsworth offered the space—and the inspiration—for something lasting. The project was shaped by Maine’s camp tradition: simple, seasonal dwellings that invite stillness, comfort, and connection to the land. We followed the path of an old roadbed to guide our layout, preserving as many trees as possible. Cabins and treehouses are spaced for privacy and quiet, and walking trails were cut by hand to follow the natural shape of the land. Wildlife is part of daily life here. Songbirds call from the canopy. Heron and eagles pass overhead. Deer move through the understory, and turkeys wander the clearings. Mushrooms—chanterelles, black trumpets, and others—rise through the forest floor in season. From the start, the idea was simple: to create a place that feels good to step into. Each of us brought different experiences—design, building, creative work—but shared a clear vision: spaces that are well made, deeply comfortable, and in tune with their surroundings.

We do not include towels, shampoo and personal grooming items, or pillows/linens for the beds. There are mattress covers on the bed with a comforter. This is an off Grid Experience. The kitchen is adequately equipped for cooking and refrigeration w a propane refrigerator and stove. Gas lights are used for lighting at night. Keep in mind this is a remote cabin but so close to Acadia National Park and other amenities. There may be a mouse that sneaks in. There may be insects (mosquitos, black flies, ants etc.) It is not possible to be in the woods and experience its beauty in a camp without the chance of encountering nature. If your looking for a motel room then you should book one because this is not it. We offer a peaceful place that is thriving with nature and beauty. There is plenty of room in the yard for recreation and tenting.

Weekend Trip to Salt and Oak Farm

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!

Weekend Trip to Cabin of the Woods at Tilden Pond

Robert is a great host. Very clear communication. This is a really special place. I don’t think the description and photos do it justice. It is only 10 minutes from home but it feels like we were deep in the wilderness. We loved paddling around the pond and even saw a beaver swimming by! Sadly, my dog got a little too curious with a porcupine so beware if your dog is also determined to make friends with porcupines. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Cabin of the Woods at Tilden Pond

We absolutely loved our stay! Cabin was very clean and was well-stocked with extra supplies (soap, paper towels, sanitizer, napkins). Robert was very responsive and gave us great recommendations. Kayaking on the pond was a highlight. We especially enjoyed hearing and seeing the loons. Birders: bring your cameras and binoculars! You’re bound to hear and see quite a bit.

3 nights at Cabin of the Woods at Tilden Pond

As others have mentioned, Bob is a great host - very communicative before, during, and after trip. The cabin is stocked with camp chairs, cots, lights, headlamp, paper goods, some small folding tables, and bug spray. You may want to bring a larger table if you plan on cooking on a camp stove. There's a large table down by the pond but that's a 10 min walk from the cabin. One of my dogs is reactive and it was so nice that she could run around off leash and swim without any issues. The cabin feels really remote but Belfast is only 10 minutes away. We would definitely stay again.

My daughter and I truly enjoyed staying at Stage Coach stop. Sienna was a wonder host, meeting us to show us around and help us get settled in. Just the right amount of comfort and still quiet and rustic. Everything was tidy and cozy inside with cooking cooking utensils and table handy so we could have a lovely meal inside or out. We enjoyed the evening campfire and waking to hear the wood thrushes singing in the woods.

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.

Weekend Trip to Cabin of the Woods at Tilden Pond

Robert was an exceptional host! The cabin felt secluded and off the grid, while still being close enough to town and amenities when needed. The drive in was a little rough in spots, but taking it slow made it manageable! The cabin itself was cozy, comfortable, and stocked with the essentials—the cots, chairs, and solar lights were especially helpful!! Our pup had so much fun exploring the woods. We also spent some time down by the pond and even managed to catch a huge bass, which was a highlight of the trip! Robert was incredibly communicative, accommodating, and kind throughout our stay. We unexpectedly had to cut our trip short, and he was extremely understanding and generous during the situation. We truly appreciated his hospitality and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Sweet spot with a cool river and pond! The road isn’t too bad w 2wd if it’s dry but if it’s wet you may need to hike 1000ft to the cabin. Would recommend if you’re looking for a more remote feel.

Amazing spot! Spent the evening and morning fishing the brook, having a fire, and hanging out in the cabin. Cabin had plenty of sleeping space and was super comfy. We had access to fresh water and the option to buy firewood. The wood stove in April was a great luxury.

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!

Weekend Trip to Graham Cracker Cabin and Campsites

This was my first Hipcamp and it was great. The cabin had everything we needed and though it definitely got cold, as we were visiting in mid-November, a fire and plenty of blankets kept us warm through the nights. This is a lovely little camping and so peaceful!

Blackwoods Campground

Highlight was seeing the sun rise. Whatever time you think you need to get there for sunrise, add 15 minutes. Hiked a couple of short trails…. Bring water, they turned out to be steep and I was happy to have it.

Blackwoods Campground

Sites are private and comfortable. being a national park we did end up having to book a couple different sites at loop a and loop b which were both equally as comfortable. Only downside is that the showers were at a building outside of the campgrounds and did cost $1 per minute.

We downloaded an app that was a tour guide through the drive in the park. It was the best idea. Fun facts, look out points, wildlife to look out for, and tons of history. It was the most perfect day and not too packed. So pulling over to places was easy.

Breathtaking Maine coastal scenery unlike really anything else in the country. Pine forests up against rocky, colorful shorelines & dramatic sweeping views. Most of the park is driveable, which is a bit of a letdown if you like to explore things well off the beaten path. That said, there are some beautiful hikes to be had around Cadillac Mountain & within the small interior forest of the main park sections.

We did the Bubble Trail. The North Bubble trail takes you to a spectacular lookout and the south trail takes you down to Jordan Pond, where there's a beachy area to relax and recharge before the climb back up the trail. It's about 3 miles out and back. Fairly steep climb up the North Bubble and really steep climbing back up the South Bubble, but the scenery is well worth it. We had a dog with some paw pad injuries, so we kept it pretty light and look forward to going back and exploring some of the more difficult trails. If you have an adventurous dog who likes to climb rocks this is an awesome trail. Smaller dogs who aren't as steady and maybe don't have the height to make a couple of decent jumps between rocks might struggle (I have a doberman, we passed a family with a corgi on the way up who were turning around because their dog couldn't hang).
