River Views | Private Hot Tub | The Cherry Cabin

Sitting where field meets forest with views of the Union River, The Cherry offers a peaceful, accessible stay in the Maine woods. Styled like a classic Maine camp with modern comfort and clean design, it sleeps six: two bedrooms (queen + twin XL bunks) and a queen bed in the loft. A wall of windows frames the rapids, with a hot tub, smokeless fire pit, and 1.5 miles of quiet forest trails just outside. Private and woodsy, yet close to Ellsworth, Acadia National Park, and the beautiful Downeast.

The Cherry Cabin is equipped for comfort, quiet, and time spent well—whether preparing a meal, soaking under the stars, or watching light shift through the trees.

Inside, you’ll find a compact kitchen with an induction cooktop, mini-oven, dishwasher, and essentials for daily cooking. There’s a combination washer-dryer, a small desk and chair, high speed fiber internet, and a wood-burning stove for warmth and atmosphere. A mini-split heat pump keeps the air comfortable in any season. Upon request, we`ll put a smart TV projector + screen in your cabin so you can enjoy movies, sports, or shows from your own device or streaming platforms.

Beds are made up with organic cotton and Oeko-Tex certified linens and towels, and the bathroom and kitchen are stocked with simple, plant-based cleansers. The heat lamp makes getting out of the beautiful tiled shower almost as lovely as the shower itself.

Outdoors, the Cherry offers a private hot tub, a smokeless fire pit, a hammock (April-October only), a propane grill, and outdoor seating. Private parking includes an EV charging station.

The Cherry welcomes guests with well-behaved dogs. Dogs must be on a leash at all times when outside at Arbor Camp, and may not use furniture or beds intended for people, but we are happy to provide a clean bed just for them upon your request.

The loft sleeping area is accessed by a sturdy alternating tread ship’s ladder, handcrafted on site. Please use care when climbing. The loft may not be suitable for small children or guests with mobility concerns.

Please note:

Current rates reflect a significant discount as Arbor Camp continues to grow. While The Cherry is complete and fully private, you may hear or see construction activity elsewhere on our 30-acre property as we build additional dwellings. It’s an exciting time—the forest is shifting, new paths are forming, and you’re part of the beginning.

All indoor and outdoor features of the Cherry cabin are yours alone to enjoy throughout your stay—from the fire pit and hammock to the grill and private hot tub.
