Charming Off- Grid cabin 5 min from the ocean in Midcoast Maine
Welcome to your cozy off- grid, affordable forest retreat! This is a sweet, rustic with no electricity... we do provide a rechargeable lamp, oil lamp and candles.
Rejuvenate away from EMF's and the buzz of modern life at our budding permaculture oasis on 25 acres with gardens and trails.
The Cabin has a comfortable queen bed with linens and towels provided, several small bureaus and a desk/natural slab dining table inside. There is a composting (bucket) toilet system + simple hand- wash station. (We will explain the systems when we welcome you). Outside is a patio table with chairs, as well as a small fire circle and grill.
There is a dirt drive learning to the Cabin, so you can park right beside it. The cabin sits in a meadow, surrounded by woods where you'll hear owls and see hawks overhead. Wake up and go to sleep to the sounds of crickets and song birds...
Cell phone reception is very spotty and unreliable at the cabin, though texts usually work with some providers. NO WIFI AT THE CABIN ITSELF However, you can walk down the road towards the main house for cell reception and fiberoptic wifi (just ask the hosts in advance).
This is a peaceful and affordable retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban living. There is a strong signal along Beach road on the way to our property and at Lincolnville Beach along Rt. 1. You may also access internet at local cafes and libraries.
The property is less than 3 miles from Camden Hills, Lincolnville Beach and Lake Megunticook. 15 min to Camden and Belfast, 20 minutes to Rockland. Summer offers views, hiking and biking trails, beach/water sports, farmers markets, spectacular concerts and dining experiences... Winter opens possibilities with the Camden Snow Bowl
The hostess has lived, worked and homesteaded in Maine for almost 20 years and happy to offer recommendations for a wonderful retreat and visit.
The vacation home is heated and features a separate bedroom. The vacation home also includes a dining table. Housekeeping is available on request.
