Like someone else said, it is small but mighty! Perfect for someone wanting to explore the area and that wants to be in a rustic setting. Host is great and very accommodating. Had a great time.

We stayed here for three nights while hiking at Acadia. Great for a quick stop at night for showering and sleeping, but definitely rustic and no frills. Camping experience is probably useful for guests. Nancy was lovely and helpful. Grateful for a very hot shower!

A cozy stay in a rural setting. Nancy was so responsive and welcoming. For those willing to embrace the outdoor comforts of a composting toilet, outdoor shower, and minimalist cabin, it really was a lovely retreat. Would recommend the morning zen sessions in the meditation hall!

The tiny house was, indeed, tiny (but mighty!) We simply needed a place to crash in between day excursions to Acadia NP and it fit that bill perfectly! The provided space heater cut the chill from the room very quickly whenever we got back and prepped for sleep, and the fire pit outside was fun. Nancy was lovely to chat with, we would definitely stay again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The bathroom is an outhouse that is at least 100 or more yards from the cabin and the shower is an outdoor shower on the side of the barn. It is also at least 100 yards or more in a different direction from the cabin. The cabin is old and smelly. It was so bad that we refused to stay.

Hi Bonnie. I’m responding to your review as it is not correct The outdoor shower with hot water is loved by all. I use it myself sometimes. It is v pleasurable. 100 yards is the length of a football field. The shower is about 15 yards from the cabin as is the compost toilet. You are the first to say the cabin is smelly. No one has ever said that before. If at all it has the smell of new wood. This accommodation is far from being suburbia. It is a cabin on the edge of the woods w outdoor shower and a compost toilet. Very minimal. Not fancy. For folks who want a simple experience. A step up from camping

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Hathaway

Host profile image
As 10th generation Maine, I returned home 17 years ago after traveling and raising a family in Cambridge, MA. My work and adult life has been devoted to studying, practicing, and teaching Mindfulness in colleges, hospitals, businesses and in my private practice.

Why they chose this property

This area is special. I came to study Zen across the road in a sweet, forest meditation center in the 70s and returned to the house that I dreamed of back then - close to the ocean, a lovely community, and an absolutely beautiful place to live with lots of outdoor adventures close by. The community is filled with writers and artists.

What makes this property unique

Rural, country Maine close to the ocean, meditation center, artists, writers, dark starry skies, good hikes, swimming, kayaking, and Acadia.
