Lost Kitchen overnight

Perfect spot with all the amenities for a longer stay. We just needed a landing spot for the night for our Lost Kitchen dinner but would have loved to stay longer! Beautiful private spot with lovely views of Camden Hills!

The perfect peaceful retreat

From early communications before our trip until we rolled up to the door with our host waiting for us, our short trip to Freedom was nothing short of spectacular. The house was lovely and the view was incrdeible. Our hosts Lynn and Chuck have made this house a lovely home in which to stay. The kitchen was well equipped for our cooking adventures. We were there for a Lost Kitchen visit, but i would happily go back to explore and stay longer. Very appreciative to our hosts for helping make our trip to Maine so wonderful.

Lovely

This property is just as appears in the advertisement. It is remote and very quiet with a beautiful view. There are two bedrooms upstairs with windows along two walls. Hosts are very communicative, and came to greet us on the first day. Bring bug spray if that sort of thing bothers you.

Beautiful Central Maine Getaway

We stayed 2 (wish we had stayed more!) nights here with friends of ours during our trip to New England and it was the best two nights of our trip! It was the perfect halfway stop between Portland and Acadia (about 2 hours to each). The house was spotless, beds were comfy, and the view was breathtaking. We loved sitting by the firepit as the sun went down and were amazed at the stars as well. In addition to a wonderful home the hosts Lynn and Chuck were some of the most welcoming and caring hosts we've ever had. We even forgot a few items that they graciously provided for us. You definitely won't regret booking here!

Amazing newly built home and the views!!!!!

The description and pictures don’t do justice to this beautiful location. My wife and I received last minute dinner invitation for The Lost Kitchen. If you know how rare a reservation is you know we moved heaven and earth to be there. The location is only 15min away from Freedom, Maine. Lynn and Chuck made it so easy for us to book their place as we scrambled to find accommodations. Quick replies, answered any questions and Chuck personally met us at the property to greet us. The kitchen is well stocked, A/C, soft towels, extra toiletries, grill, outdoor table, fire pit…… There is no TV, or wifi but with the views and nature all around it was a nice break from being connected. We would highly recommend staying here. If you are fortunate to visit in the fall I can only imagine miles and miles of brilliant fall leaves. Thank you again Lynn for hosting us at your beautiful home. We’ll be back soon :)

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Hadyniak

Host profile image
Halcyon Ridge is owned by Lynn and Chuck Hadyniak, who live near the Halcyon Ridge property. Lynn and Chuck moved out of New Jersey years ago to get away from the hustle and bustle and raise a family in peace. They love Freedom for its quietness and natural beauty, and would love to host people at Halcyon Ridge who also want to escape the noise.

Why they chose this property

The views of the Camden, Me hills are spectacular, and a focal point of the entire 2-story house. You will decompress and destress just soaking it all in--the sights, the peacefulness, the spaciousness.

What makes this property unique

It's nestled in the woods, away from the hustle and bustle of life. It's a great place to relax and recharge.
