This was my second time staying at Forest Bathing. The first time, there was an issue the first night with the pellet stove that was rectified the following day. This time, before ever arriving on the property, I was notified the pellet stove in Cabin 2 was malfunctioning, and I'd be moved to Cabin 1. On my third night, the pellet stove in this cabin also malfunctioned. The host walked me through troubleshooting to fix the issue, but it clearly is a common fail point. Maine winters are far too cold to leave it up to chance on whether or not your guests will stay warm or not. They do have a wall mounted propane heater as a secondary heat source, but it is not sufficient at heating the cabin if the ambient temperature is less than 10 degrees. Along with this, the cabin was not thoroughly cleaned. There was dirt built up on the floor, and I found a baking sheet with stuck on food in the oven. Overall, I am a bit disappointed with my stay here, and am unlikely to return unless these issues with the pellet stoves are resolved. It has a lot of potential, and the folks that manage it are great! However, I cannot stay here again given the deficiencies noted above.

I loved the location of the property. Very private and secluded, even with the other cabin next door. That said, before I checked in, I was notified the primary heat source (pellet stove) was inoperable, and that there was a secondary heat source available. Upon arrival, the cabin was about 40 degrees inside, and the wall mounted propane heater simply could not keep up as the overnight temperatures reached single digits. The cabin was appointed with very warm blankets which helped a lot, but it was still a very, very chilly night. Thankfully the stove was repaired the next day and worked without issue the remainder of my stay. I would also caution you to check your junk emails before arriving. My check in instructions wound up in my junk mail, and there's nothing listed on Vrbo in regard to checking in or out, it's only in the emails, so bear this in mind. All in all, this was a great place and I enjoyed my time here aside from the first night. I will likely stay here again in the future.
