We had a lovely stay in the Main Cabin! Debbie was very helpful and communicated with us as we needed. The property is very homey and comfortable. Perfect stay for a wedding in Corinna. Just tucked away enough down a beautiful road past cows and scenic trees and farmlands. Water pressure in the shower was excellent and sitting on the front porch is really peaceful in the morning!

Relaxing Maine Getaway

Exeter is a lovely town and region of rural Maine for a getaway, and the Exeter Nature Cabins have everything you could need. Debbie and son are great communicators and friendly hosts who are always ready to help. My fiancé and I spent a lovely week at the cabin- with a special shoutout to Yeti the sweet dog next door :) Definitely recommend!

Nice Relaxing Stay

This cabin was a nice place to stay for our excursions around Maine. While were were there, we were able to see wildlife everyday which was fun to see. The cabin definitely helps you disconnect from the business of everyday life!

The cabin was cozy and very accommodating. If you’re looking for seclusion, peace and quiet and a place to wind down from the busy city life this is your place. Surrounded by nature, wild life and beautiful star filled sky.

Highly recommend we all enjoyed every aspect of this property!

No picture can do it justice, its just a beautiful cabin on a jaw dropping peice of land. Such a peaceful and comfortable place to stay. All ages enjoyed themselfs so much we extended our stay. Not only would we recommend it we plan to return to experience all the seasons at the Exter Nature Cabins. The wildlife is so friendly there wasnt a day that we didnt get to see hurds if deer or flocks of turkeys plus eagles. So many different types of animals so close to get to watch them up close is a gift. The best way to describe it is a soul soothing relaxing getaway everyone needs to experience at least once in their lives.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Bartlett

Betty & Richard Bartlett created this magical place 25 years ago when they retired. They put together 550 acres of unspoiled woods with a family home and 2 comfortable cabins. Exeter has always been a family gathering place and we have had numerous family holidays, get-to-gethers and two weddings here. The younger generation of our family spent their childhood exploring the woods and streams, watching wildlife, eating apples and blueberries from the trees, sledding, etc. Stewardship of this property has passed to the adult children and we feel a sincere desire to share this beautiful, 'good for the soul' place with others who will enjoy it. Debbie Bartlett is the current resident and manager of Exeter Nature Cabins and environs. She is shown in the picture with her brother, Chris.
