Hideout207

1 site · Lodging22 acres · Westport Island, ME
Hide out for a night and a day in Maine, the way it used to be. Your stay includes a private lobster dinner, beautifully set up either by the beach, in the barn, or under the stars in the field… it’s up to you and I’ll take care of all the details! 🦞Check in at 2:00pm, and meander out at noon the next day- perfect for relaxing before the drive up to Acadia or on the way back to Boston. Book before January 1 for $275. If you're dreaming of a day to walk around in the woods, lounge by the beach, take your kayak out, or read a book and listen to the waves, and not have any concerns about getting ready to go out to dinner… to have the opportunity to truly relax and enjoy nature, in a rustic environment, then Hideout207 is the place for you! Your Maine island (accessible by bridge) “hideout” awaits in our off the grid 1860s barn on a former saltwater farm with acres of field, forest, and a private beach to explore. Located on Westport Island in Maine's Midcoast, Hideout207 is about an hour from Portland, under three hours from Boston, and about two and a half hours from Acadia. See the stars as never before, fall asleep to the sounds of nature, watch the deer graze, spend an afternoon in the hammock in the woods by the beach, or relax on your private patio. Hideout207 provides a grill and French Press, tented outdoor toilet with sink, and a fully tented queen bed. Please note that the front of the barn faces the back of my house, but the patio area is completely out of view from the house and you will be the only guest(s) on property. The beach is accessible by a winding path through the woods. Next to the shore, you’ll find the hammock, table and chairs set up with beautiful views. Explore the tide pools, bask in the sun on a rocky perch, watch lobster boats hauling traps, and enjoy one of those lobsters by the beach! Hideout 207 is glamp-ish… The barn retains its rustic charm, decorated with original farming tools, fishing gear, and fascinating odds and ends that have wound up in the barn over the past 160 years. The comfy queen bed, freshly made up with super soft sheets, plush pillows, and down duvet is completely enclosed with a mosquito net tent, along with few more layers of netting. Practical -and a little romantic! There’s a cozy sitting area and a kitchen table, all lit by flameless candles and battery powered lanterns. We provide a charging port for your phones but there is no power or water in the barn. There is a private, very clean, tented RV toilet and sink set up for your use. If roughing it a little bit is not your idea of a vacation, I get it! Hideout207 may not be for you, but your stay in Maine will be beautiful wherever you choose to stay!

Coastal barns in Maine guide

Overview

There's much more to Maine than lighthouses, lobster shacks, and sandy beaches. The northernmost state in New England packs in surprising variety, from the rocky islands and seaside resorts of the Atlantic shore to the forests and mountains of the Appalachian Mountains. Campers can take their pick of 32 state parks and one epic national park, filled with lakes, woodlands, and beaches to hike, bike, climb, and kayak. "Vacationland" pulls in the summer crowds, especially along the coast, but our pick is fall, when the northern highlands are ablaze with foliage.

Where to go

Aroostook & the Highlands

Maine’s mountainous north is the stuff that hiker’s bucket lists are made of. The sprawling wilderness of Baxter State Park is the starting point of the epic Appalachian Trail and home to Maine’s highest peak—the 5,267-foot Mount Katahdin. Miles of hiking trails run through the highlands, along with some of the state’s best snowmobiling and cross-country skiing trails. To get on the water, head to Moosehead Lake, or try paddling and backcountry tent camping along the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.

Maine Lakes & Mountains

The hills and valleys of western Maine are peppered with high peaks and hundreds of glacial lakes, affording plenty of opportunities for a back-to-nature camping experience. Drive the High Peaks Scenic Byway for some of the most spectacular views, enjoy family camping at Sebago Lake State Park, or check into an RV park near Bethel, Naples, or Lewiston. In winter, rent a cozy ski chalet and hit the ski resorts of Sugar Loaf, Shawnee Peak, and Sunday River.

Southern Maine Coast

When summer temperatures soar, some of the most popular Maine campgrounds and beaches are found along the southwest shore. Head to the beach towns of Kennebunkport, Freeport, and Portland for old-fashioned seaside fun; go boating or kayaking around Casco Bay; then snag an RV site or cabin rental at the oceanfront campground in Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park.

Downeast & Acadia

Maine’s only national park, Acadia National Park, is the headline act of DownEast, the state’s rugged and rocky southeastern coast. Opt to stay on the mainland at Bar Harbor and head over to admire the park’s historic lighthouses and ocean views, or choose from multiple camping areas on the islands. Further north, the 15 coastal parklands of Cobscook Shores have picnic tables, boat launches, and backcountry camping sites.
