Past trip
in Four Acre Woods Campground, MaineWe loved it here! Deer Isle itself is such a welcoming, slower pace than nearby more heavily touristy Maine attractions. We had everything we could ask for for easy car camping (huge, bone dry canvas tent, electricity, nice fire pit with available grill top, bathrooms, showers & laundry) and everything was laid back and welcoming at Four Acre Woods. Sites are a little closer together than we were expecting but still felt like we were deep in the woods and there was nearly no road noise. Having the bathhouse and laundry were a great bonus after staying a few days elsewhere without showers & laundry facilities. Caleb and his beautiful dog Nako (sp?) were very cool and helpful hosts.
Past trip
in True Serendipity Homestead, MaineGreat little slice of farm life!
True Serendipity was everything we were hoping for and more. We were traveling with our two kids, 10 and 4, and Mike and Cheryl were the kindest, most welcoming hosts. They're building their homestead from scratch themselves and make every effort to share the fruits of their labors with their camping guests. It really felt like we were visiting caring relatives. The hand-built bathroom is clean and well-appointed. The fresh drinking water from their Artesian well was delicious and such a cool natural feature to share with the kids. Mike and Cheryl shared their garden harvest and eggs (when the hens cooperated) with all the guests, which was the perfect supplement to our camp dinners. Firepits are well-built, tent sites are flat and have plenty of space. We rented a tent from them and it was already set up for us on arrival, making the first night and packing up much less of a hassle. Mike showed the kids how to fish from the stocked pond. A free kayak and canoe were available if we'd had time to enjoy them, though we packed our days visiting Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. This place is a treasure and we would 100% visit again.
Past trip
in ArĂĄndano Farm, New HampshireA happy little slice of farm life
Paul was very responsive to questions ahead of our stay and warm, friendly and welcoming to our family. He took time with us answering our questions about his and Angela's life on the farm. The site was really lovely- quiet and private yet close to everything in the Lakes region. And the farm itself was fascinating for us and our kids.
Becky hasn't gone on any trips yet.
