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 surrounding 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 but complete kitchen with an induction cooktop, mini-oven, dishwasher, and essentials for daily cooking, along with a washer-dryer, small desk and chair, high speed fiber internet, wood-burning stove, and mini-split heat pump. There is also a smart projector and portable screen for streaming and a few games.

Beds are made up with all-cotton Oeko-Tex certified linens. The bathroom is stocked with Public Goods amenities and extra-large cotton bath towels. Outdoors, The Cherry includes a private hot tub, smokeless fire pit, propane grill, outdoor seating, and (April–October) a hammock. Private parking includes a Tesla Universal Wall connector that works with all J1772-compatible vehicles.

The Cherry welcomes well-behaved dogs (leashed outdoors, no furniture use). The loft is accessed by an alternating tread ladder.

Current rates reflect a discount as Arbor Camp continues to grow, and you may occasionally see or hear construction elsewhere on the property.

By booking, you confirm that you have read and agree to the house rules, including those regarding pets, damage, and smoking.

If the Cherry is unavailable for your dates, we have other one-of-a-kind treehouses and cabins at the same Arbor Camp location — each with its own unique character that might be your perfect match!

QUIET HOURS
Quiet begins at 10:00 PM to preserve the stillness of the woods and the comfort of all guests.

TOWELS & BEDDING
Extra towels are provided in the bedroom closet.

CHILDREN & FAMILIES
Families are welcome. Please bring your own portable crib or pack-and-play, as we do not provide these due to insurance reasons.

SMOKING
Smoking is permitted outdoors only. Please dispose of materials safely.

Smoking or vaping inside any cabin or treehouse is not permitted.

If indoor smoking or vaping results in odor, residue, or damage, guests are responsible for the actual cost of cleaning, deodorizing, repair, or replacement, plus a 10% administrative fee. If remediation requires the unit to be taken offline, documented lost revenue may also be charged.

PETS
Select units welcome well-behaved dogs. Dogs must be leashed outdoors and may not use beds or upholstered furniture. We are happy to provide a dog bed upon request.

By paying the pet fee(s), you also agree that dogs will not be on beds or upholstered furniture. If evidence shows a dog has been on beds or furniture (including excessive hair, stains, or odor), a $120 additional cleaning fee will be charged. If remediation exceeds $120, guests remain responsible for the documented actual cost.

EXTRA CLEANING
Guests are expected to leave the kitchen, grill, cookware, and premises in reasonable condition.

If extraordinary cleaning is required beyond standard turnover — including excessive food waste, heavily soiled cookware, or misuse of the grill — an additional charge of up to $150 may apply. If costs exceed $150, guests are responsible for the documented actual cost.

FIRE SAFETY & EMERGENCIES
A fire extinguisher and first aid kit are provided in each unit.
For emergencies, dial 911 and provide the property address listed in your arrival information.
