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.

Beautiful cabin, wonderful hosts

With kids

We had a lovely stay at the cabin! It’s beautiful there, the hosts were very welcoming, and my kids adored seeing the animals and feeding the pigs. Highly recommend this spot. And it’s true what everyone says about the outhouse, it’s awesome!

Charming farm with wonderful hosts!

With kids

We had the best time at this farm. The last day of our camping trip nearby was cut short because of impending rain and we booked this space last minute. What a gem! The space is cozy and comfortably slept our party of 5. In the morning we happened upon one of the hosts by the little farm store on property (you have to have the elderberry gelato) and he gave us the most wonderful tour of the farm. Our kids got to feed the pigs and we got to see their incredible greenhouse/garden. Then we walked across the way to learn all about the sheep. Our kids (ages 8-14) were totally enthralled-a tough ask for this age group sometimes. Our hosts also suggested a delicious market/cafe down the road that was a perfect spot on our way out of town. Wishing we had more time to enjoy here.

Fun Off-the-Grid Cabin Experience

Great stay, super cute cabin. Chris and Patti were so nice and gave us a tour of the farm. The drive from the coast to get there was also really beautiful.

This cabin was adorable. Clean, plenty of beds, bedding and pillows. Myself (mom) and 2 girls stayed here for 1 night. Just passing through. We felt very safe and hosts had everything we needed to enjoy the time we were there. This is a great place to unplug,play some board games,or even just to experience staying in a quaint little cabin off the grid. It truley was delightful.

Group trip

What a truly beautiful and welcoming place! We loved staying at the farm and hope to visit again on our travels to Maine. Chris and Patti have clearly put a lot of love and hard work into the cabin and the farm and it is a real gem. We appreciated their warm welcome, the quiet and comfort of the cabin, and the chance to meet the animals and enjoy such a beautiful place.

Beautiful farm and extremely accommodating hosts. This is definitely a place worth spending a few nights. The Land: - Organic farm (you can say hi to the pigs and and one of the chickens will even let you hold her) - Very private (best sleep I’ve had in a while) Amenities: -The farm shop! You can purchase homemade ice cream, soaps, tinctures, and more at their farm stand in the barn. I may or may not have had ice cream for dinner two nights in a row. - One of the nicest outhouses I’ve ever used. Very clean and nice little Rumi and Mary Oliver poems on the inside walls. - Outdoor shower attached to the barn and secluded amongst trees. -No wifi in the cabin but was able to tether to a Verizon hotspot. Patti and Chris also set me up with wifi in the barn in case I needed a better connection. - There’s a small brewery next store that wasn’t open during the week when I was there but looks pretty cool. Nearby: - Sheepscot General Store: really great store for local products, pizza, pastries, and natural wines. - Shuck Station for oysters - Glidden Point for oysters if you prefer to shuck them yourself - Good mushroom foraging habitat nearby - Also solid bird watching if you walk along one of nearby roads
