Micro A-Frame Cabin

Tiny A-Frame Cabin on a personal wildlife preserve! Located a mile from the Passadumkeag River and three miles from the Penobscot River! 

Quiet Space! Come enjoy a 'Piece of my Peace!' 

Meadow Vista and Garden views

With Composting Toilet, No Electricity and No Running Water!

• The wall does lift up and down so you can be closed in if it rains but I leave it open most of the time to allow air flow.

• There is a fire pit and two chairs available at the cabin for you to cozy up or cook your food. If you would like a wheel barrow full of firewood provided there is some available on site for a small donation.

• There is a hammock with a shade cover at the cabin for you to use. 

• There is a bug net provided in the cabin if you're in need of some extra protection indoors.

• Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is a short drive with a few hiking trails.

• Baxter State Park & Acadia National Park are each an hour and a half away (just in opposite directions).

• A composting toilet is on site, with a scoop and bucket of sawdust to cover waste. I you need to pee, find a tree! If it's number two, use the loo!

• No electricity at the cabin or on the property

• No running or potable drinking water. Must bring in water.

• The cabin is quite cozy for 1-2 people and/or 1-2 fur babies. The cabin itself has an 8x10’ floor plan with a full size futon. The deck gives another 3’ to enjoy your inside/outside stay.

• The property DOES get full sun so be aware of finding shade throughout the day! I like to enjoy the river(s) and explore the area during the peak heat hours! 

 • Mosquitos like to come out at dusk. I do have some citronella candles but it would be best if you came prepared with bug repellent! 

• There is a New tiny cabin construction on site!

• This cabin is NOT private - one dwelling is visible but it is also NOT a rental.

Please: no check-in's after 8pm! Thank you for understanding!

I cannot control the weather. I just provide a super awesome place. I am always available to help make your stay top-notch! Without you, there is no me.

Soul Retrieve-Hill

Hello! Thank you for looking at our listing!

You will not be disappointed in this small campground with only 4 primitive tent sites and 2 tiny cabins. It's so peaceful and the tranquility will not take long to make you so relaxed, you will not want to leave. The sound of song birds in the morning with your cup of coffee is exactly what we need along with the sound of the water from the creek and/or pond. 

You can plug in with our free WIFI or unplug and enjoy the surroundings.

Sebec Lake is a 5 minute walk from the campground and there are pontoon rentals at the bottom of the hill. There is a yoga instructor on the lake that will do paddle board yoga in groups of at least 5. We offer several board games, as well as outdoor games. We have been working on creating a playground for the young kids. There is 1 Kayak for rent here and working on more. We offer hammocks for use and have already put the hangers in the trees.

We recently added hot showers and flushing toilets (although we still keep some portable potties around in case the bathroom is occupied).
