Straydog Property

We have a campsite near Lake George in Skowhegan and we added a few sites to share with friends and family. We are going to rent out few places to unplug and enjoy the outdoors. This is a tent but we have included some of the comforts of home. There is power to charge your phone, AC to keep you cool, a refrigerator to keep your drinks cold, lights and a coffee maker.

There’s a bathhouse to shower and clean up. We are working on getting the septic system installed and have a portable toilet to use until it’s completed. From the campsite you can take a 10 minute walk down to the lake or you can spend the day hiking. You can drive down to the boat landing and put your kayak in the water or continue up the road to enjoy a nice sandy beach.

Tir na nOg Farm

Highland cattle graze at the forest's edge on our Celtic-heritage farm: a gentle retreat with options for woodland wandering, farm-fresh breakfasts (weekdays only, must be requested one week in advance), and campfires complete with traditional Gaelic music!

Our 40-acre farm includes heritage-breed animals, organic gardens, and over 30 acres of conservation woodlands. We favor scythes over tractors--your stay will be quiet and fume-free!  Bradbury Mountain and several trail networks are nearby, along with rivers, ocean beaches, and an excellent locavore food scene.  

Since the early 1800s, this land on the edge of Chandler Brook has nourished bodies and spirits alike.  Sloping pastures meet well-managed woodlands, making this a haven for both humans and wildlife. Since the 1980s, we have worked to restore the soil and make a "hand-built" life as farmers using pre-industrial organic methods.  We maintain pollinator habitats, tend an orchard of heirloom-variety fruit trees, and conserve rare heritage-breed animals, including Tamworth pigs and Scottish Highland Cattle.  Our shared love for Celtic folk culture has blended naturally with our love of sustainable agriculture to create Tir na nOg Farm.  Today, the work of restoration continues with the help of farm partners, family, friends, WWOOFers, and other volunteers. This land is already better than we found it, but we hope it will remain a gathering-ground of culture and agriculture, tradition and innovation for generations to come.

Quieter and easier to reach than Bag-End, via a peaceful woodland path with solar lanterns.

Private woodland nook, always ready for Second Breakfast!

Hillside view of the Hobbit House (with standard human-sized door for optional use)

Cosy interior with room for one visiting wizard or up to four hobbits

A peaceful view from inside, almost worthy of Middle Earth.

Barred Owl Farm Getaway

Denali, our farm hound, looks forward to greeting you. The sheep, pigs, and chickens will also enjoy seeing you. 

Our farm cabin has a great feel of being connected to nature.  It is quiet, cozy and a wonderful place to watch the sunset overlooking grazing animals.  The cabin has a queen bed in the downstair bedroom and another double bed in the loft.  The couch in the sitting room also folds-out to a double bed for the children. We use high-quality cotton sheets, pillows and down comforters - to assure you will be cozy and feel pampered. 

We provide coffee/tea service in the morning in our farm store.  By reservation, we serve a full country breakfast ($14/pp) and four-course farm-to-table dinners with many ingredients from our farm ($65/pp). 

By reservation, we also offer a special evening of our own chef-made wood-fired pizza, backyard fire and Downeast company. Many of the ingredients are from our farm. BOYB. ($50/pp; groups of 4 or more $40/pp) Discounts for families with children. 

The cabin does not have heat, electricity or running water. We provide numerous battery-charged lights and candles making this a is cozy, relaxing and perfect way to experience Maine farm life. An outhouse is nearby.  We provide an outdoor hot-water shower.  

Plan to visit our farm store where you can buy goat-milk soap, beeswax candles, organic wool pillows, sheep and goat skins and other creations made by Patti.

Loads of hiking trails are right out our door or wander down the gravel road. 

Visiting the animals (sheep, pigs, chickens and, of course, Denali - the farm hound) is always a highlight for guests. Please leave your own dog at home, thank you. 

 Chris is a proud Mainer and natural tour guide. He will be happy to provide you with his favorite recommendations and hidden gems.

For the past nine years, hundreds of people have enjoyed seeing the lambs, visiting our pigs, walking on our trails, and relaxing in a cell-free zone. 

In the summer our cabin books every night – so we encourage you to make reservations soon. If you would like to talk over your plans, please give us a call. 

Denali the hound (and we) look forward to welcoming you!

come on by - looking forward to meeting you!

Slippery Rock Trails LLC

Forty five years ago, our family started assembling 400 acres of woods and fields on the banks of the beautiful Androscoggin River.  We enjoy actively managing the property for wildlife habitat and tree growth. The diverse landscape includes over 1/2 a mile of river frontage,  a 10 acre wildlife pond, rolling hills in the meadows and steep forested terrain with more than 10 miles of multi-use trails running throughout.   Our lands have long been open to local hikers, bikers and cross country skiers, we are excited to share this beautiful property with a larger community.  Scout for wildlife and birds, on our private 400 acres of forests and fields. Tire yourself by hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, or cross country skiing the 10 miles of private trails.  Located across the river from Riverlands State Park, just minutes from Lewiston-Auburn, Bates College, local breweries and just 2 1/2 hours from Boston. Wildlife abounds both on the property and across the river at Androscoggin Riverlands State Park.Quite often, a gentle breeze off the water will offer relief from black flies and mosquitoes, but the right bug repellent is recommended especially to fend off those pesky ticks that are so common in Maine.

Close easy picnic table that won't leave you far from the indoor kitchen area.

Upside down binoculars not included, but hey, if you want to use em the right way (or wrong way, why not) bring a pair for infinite bird watching opportunities. 

A true wonderland for the young and old alike. 

If you want to catch the river fog, wake with the sun after a cooler summer night. 

We opted for the site overlooking the water, and needless to say, we weren't sorry.

The inside doesn't feel "tiny" or micro sized in any way. 

Deering Acres Campground

George Deering owned these acres and worked as a farmer in the early to mid 1900's, my parent's acquired the property in 1991 and it has since been passed on to me. 

Learn more about this land:

Pitch your tent in the field or near the wood line with a beautiful view; quiet and peaceful but close to amenities, a half mile away in the Town of Brooks.

Berries hang from a tree on Deering Acres.

Serenity forest

minutes from LL Bean, Freeport, 30 minutes to portland.  Runaround Pond and Bradbury Mtn State Park, quiet secluded country setting.

If you opt for a tent, there are a few wonderful spots. We opted to set up near the campfire!

Energy overload.... but we had space for pup laps around the property! 

the old lady decided sitting to watch the puppy was a better plan.... 

The awesome spot for campfires and listening to owls!
