Arbor Camp Acadia Cabins/Treehouses

18. Arbor Camp Acadia Cabins/Treehouses

44mi from Machias River Corridor · 3 sites

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.

Weekend Trip to Moose Hill Cabin

We had such a beautiful stay at Moose Hill Tavern Cabin. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true escape. The cabin is incredibly private — peaceful, quiet, and perfectly tucked away — yet still easy to find. It gave us exactly what we needed: uninterrupted time to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and simply slow down. The thoughtful touches, especially the collection of books, made it feel warm and welcoming. We spent our time relaxing, reading, and just being present — something that’s hard to come by these days. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. It was the perfect reset, and we’re already looking forward to coming back.

Weekend Trip to Moose Hill Cabin

Sadie's cabin is the perfect spot for a cozy weekend away, or as a base camp to explore some lesser seen parts of Maine. We stayed at the cabin on the coldest weekend of the winter thus far (below -10 overnight), and found it surprisingly easy to stay warm, and exceedingly comfortable. For an off grid cabin, with no running water, we expected to rely a lot on our gear, but instead Sadie has equipped the cabin with most thing's that one would need. Sadie herself was very communicative, and very generous. All the things you would hope for in a host. We would gladly stay again, for another comfortable wintery escape, or as a lovely spot to come back to after a day of exploring.

Sadie’s place was beyond perfect! So cute and cozy. It had everything we needed. We hope to stay again in the future!

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!

Such a cute little cabin! Perfect for my weekend getaway with my dogs. I arrived after dark and had a little trouble finding it, but just download your maps and you’ll be fine! Can’t wait to come back!

2 nights at Twin Bucks Cabin 🦌🦌

I enjoyed my stay at Twin Bucks Cabin. It was nice and clean and the bed was very comfortable. An electric heater kept it warm even with temperatures at night in the upper 30s and there is also a secondary heater for when it gets really cold. You have electricity to keep all your things charged. There is no WiFi but with my cell carrier I had a good signal and could get online that way no problem. So it was warm, cozy and comfortable. Very quiet (with an occasional owl or loon calling!) And the hosts checked to see if I there was anything at all that I needed. Great place, great hosts!

4 nights at Graham Cracker Cabin and Campsites

Super helpful hosts and a nice Hipcamp. It is as advertised for the most part being a rustic cabin. We've stayed in many rustic cabins through Hipcamp. A few things to note: Even though there is a woodstove (we used every night to keep us warm) the cabin does not hold heat because the walls to the cabin have large gaps so we had to use 4 bundles of hardwood a night to keep it comfortable at night (temps in the 20° to mid 30°s) We were somewhat prepared because we knew it wasn't insulated but we were not expecting the amount of heat loss due to all the gaps in the cabin. There are other campsites on the property which are a good distance away (some within sight) We got a little freaked out by a group of campers walking up to the cabin at 10:30 at night and waking us up. (Definitely not the host's fault) but just be aware it's not the most secluded. Being in the cabin it was a little quieter but this spot is off a main road so there is a bit of noise from that but definitely not something that would completely deter me. The host was very helpful when we mentioned that we'd like to drive up to the cabin. They told us we were not able to do that (I'd just suggest taking that as an option off the listing because we chose this site in part because of that having 4wd) but they offered to help us bring our stuff with another wagon attached to the owners tractor which was very nice. The cabin is equipped with everything you would need for rustic camp: pots, pans, water, utensils.

What a wonderful cabin! Make sure to enjoy the warmth of the wood stove while you hear the sounds of nature (and the occasional train). Not for those who need electricity, wifi, cell service, or running water, but if you want to get off the grid whole being less than an hour from the nearest large town, then this is for you.

Bill and Carol were excellent hosts! They made us feel very welcome and made sure we had enough firewood to stay warm. The downeast is a stunning location to visit. Bill and Carols location is just 30mins from Cutler coast, machiasport, eastport and everything in between! lots of nature to explore and some great restauraunts too! definately a great location off the beaten path with more than you expect to be offered. We will be back!

Spectacular location for exploring downeast. Carol went above and beyond in accommodating us. The cabin has the perfect amount of amenities for one looking for a more cozy camping experience. We loved having access to the grill for cooking and being lulled to sleep by loon calls on Orange Lake

The cabin was very clean and well maintained. It was clear that the hosts had put a lot of time and effort into making everything as comfortable as possible. The firepit was great and the wood provided was well seasoned. I'd highly recommend and love to go back!

I stayed one night at Carol's cabin and enjoyed it a lot. It's peaceful and the two bucks are there too, which is funny and gives a sense of history to the place. With electricity to recharge your phone, wood to start a fire, a barbecue to cook and heat to warm the chilly nights, you'll have all you need to be happy in the woods. Carol is very responsive and can tell you what to do in the area depending on your interests.

Weekend Trip to Twin Bucks Cabin 🦌🦌

We loved camping on Carols property. The cabin was cozy with 2 twin beds that were comfy. She provides some reading material so you get to know the area and have some ideas of what to do. The night time was super quiet, there are no sounds other than the sound of a loon calling from a across the water. If you want to get away from it all and find some peace I would recommend staying at Twin Bucks. Carol was very responsive and accommodating. We plan on staying again in the very near future!

We loved Sienna’s sweet lodging in the woodsy glen, and stayed an extra day to enjoy it. She was responsive and helpful throughout our stay and has thought of every detail inside the cabin and around- the bed was very comfortable, the outdoor shower delightful and we kept the side lifted for most of the day. We will definitely return and are telling all our friends about this wonderful spot!
