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.

We had the best nights' sleep of our lives in this rustic cabin! Super quiet and peaceful. Excellent star watching. Masha was so nice and extremely hospitable!
Loved the cabin and location! Hated Goole map directions. Was concerned about safety with no handrail on steps. I’m Old and unsteady!

Very remote-no cell service so communication with Host was nonexistent. So, we chose not to risk a stay-not safe for us!

I booked the stay, communicated our ETA well in advance, even provided a “15 minutes out” notice, and showed up to a cabin without power and a dismissive response from the host that they were at dinner and would come when they finished. The cabin is in the middle of no where, it was pitch black, and there’s nothing around. I’m a single woman and didn’t feel safe. There’s no cell service anywhere close so I simply left. Would not recommend.

Why they chose this property
We chose this quiet neighborhood and 26 acre parcel to settle on for its relative spaciousness and seclusion, coupled with proximity to the ocean and Midcoast Maine's developed resources and communities.
What makes this property unique
This quiet neighborhood and its surrounding 26 acres of former unceeded Wabanaki Territory have been part of our dream to create a sustainable permaculture- inspired community in Midcoast Maine. This "Oasis"- a name we've given to this project- has become home to several long- term families, gardens, domesticated rabbits, several dogs and occasional cats...
We have hosted hundreds of visitors from all over the world for quiet personal retreats and are honored to also consider the deer, squirrels, owls, hawks and other birds, pollinators and diverse fauna and flora in the hundreds of acres of fields and woods surrounding the property as all part of our extended family.
