*Please Note: Rural Setting & Bugs* We want to remind guests that our home is located in a beautiful rural area of Maine, which means you’ll be surrounded by nature — and that includes bugs. While we do professionally spray the property to help mitigate their presence, it’s still possible for bugs to make their way inside, especially when windows and doors are opened.
Please also note that insects can occasionally enter through air conditioning units or heat pumps.
We do our best to minimize this, but a few bugs may still find their way in — it’s part of the charm (and challenge!) of staying close to nature. Thank you for your understanding!

Maine Forest Hideaway

Absolutely loved the unit. Very clean with a great interior design. Location was awesome as well. Would definitely stay here again. Host was great as well, answered all our questions quickly and was super helpful.

Hannah is a great host! We really enjoyed our short stay, everything was very clean and comfortable. The place is exactly as advertised and very peaceful. It is also less than an hour away from bar harbor and Acadia hiking spots. I would highly recommend a stay at Hannah’s home.

The property was exactly as described & as shown in the photos. It was extremely clean and cozy. Everything you may need for your stay was provided, as listed. Hannah ensured check-in was seamless. She provided a snack basket, which was very sweet, as well as recommendations for places to eat in the area, and things to do. She is responsive and friendly. We will definitely stay here in the future!

This place was super cute! A little farther from the park with weekend traffic but with a car, not a big deal at all! Place was clean and felt safe for a group of women. Would recommend to anyone for a stay!

The Perfect Airbnb for Your Acadia Adventure!!! This was our first time visiting Maine and the location couldn’t have been more perfect, just a few minutes from the Acadia Gateway Center, where the Island Explorer bus takes you straight into Acadia! Hannah is such a lovely host and she and her team put so much care and attention into every detail to create the perfect Airbnb experience. We loved winding down by the firepit in the evenings with hot chocolate after a day of exploring. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. Truly the perfect home away from home.
