Our family is excited to share our off-grid *lite* cabin with you! Located on our artist collective farm, this is our favorite place on earth. Itâs bright, beautiful, and full of color. We are 27 minutes from Acadia National Park and surrounded by truly gorgeous local beaches. We offer super comfy beds, beach cruisers, an outdoor shower, hot tub, twinkle lights, summer nights filled with fireflies, bright maples in the fall, and a cozy wood stove in the winter.
The space

We built this cabin in 2023 with all our quirky love.
Off-grid
It is all electric but has off-grid plumbing with a composting toilet and gray water disposal system. Our indoor hot shower has a 10 gallon water heater that is ideal for a nice and hot 10 minute shower! The water heater only takes around 30 minutes to reheat. During the warmer months, we also have an outdoor shower that has unlimited hot water. Your cabin uses a composting, diverter toilet called a Separette (connected to our gray water septic system), which may require a little learning curve! There is a slight scoot involved when you do your business, but thatâs it! The composting takes care of itself and any maintenance happens after you leave.
Bedrooms
We have two sleeping areas, one is up a ladder, so may not be accessible for some folks or suitable for all kids. Downstairs is a very comfy queen mattress in an alcove. Upstairs is a plush full bed and a couch that converts to one or two twin beds, these have thinner mattresses and are ideal for kids and teens.
Kitchenette
Our kitchenette has a toaster oven, electric burner, mini fridge, kitchen essentials like cutting boards, bowls, pans and condiments, a water cooler, electric kettle and a large French press.
Loft
Our upstairs loft has a tv/movie space with a projector that is somewhat lofi as we project directly onto the pine siding, but we find that fun, and a little writing or drawing desk.
Outdoor space
In your patio/deck area there is a picnic table, hammock, a propane bbq with tools for cooking, and an outdoor fire pit, hot tub, and in the warmer months, an outdoor sink and shower. We are happy to provide you some firewood and kindling. Thereâs also 4 beach cruisers for you to use!
Heat
In the winter we have a cute wood stove that we provide wood for as well as an electric wall heater that runs all the time.
Pups
At our art farm, dogs are more than welcome! We love them! We provide a bed, bowls, and treats. We love dogs and have a pack, so we ask that you keep yours on a leash when outside.
Guest access
Our cabin is located on the front parcel of our artist collective and farm. Youâll stay in a meadow filled with deer (we call it the Bambi Inn) next to our growing fruit orchard and off our private road. Our home and studios are up the private drive, you may see us bopping around.
There is another small cabin that is further down our private road, you might hear quiet talking, see us using our tractor, or smell bait from the lobster traps and skiffs going by as weâre neighbors with many fishermen. Overhead, thereâs seagulls and osprey and falcons and an occasional eagle.
Beaches
The cabin is a few minutes down the street from both Lamoine State Beach and Lamoine Beach Park and less than ten minutes from the truly stunning Marlboro Beach.
Shopping
Youâre near a main road and about 10 minutes from any local basic staples/big box store shopping/Dunkin and 18 minutes from Historic Downtown Ellsworth with really wonderful shopping and restaurants that we love.
Acadia!
We're 27 minutes to the Acadia National Park Entrance, 36 minutes to Bar Harbor, a scenic 45 minutes to Sand Beach and 40 minutes to Scoodic. We're out of the fray but near to it all! Locals love this location and we're a three generation family from the area who will be happy to help you with local recs and suggestions.
Parking
There's parking just in front of your cabin that's big enough for two cars.
Other things to note
Special occasions
We are always willing to help you plan unforgettable surprises, just reach out:)!! Our love languages are acts of service and gifts, so yeah, let us know!
Fall/winter
For our fall and winter guests, the hot tub will be running year round. Thereâs the wood stove that heats quickly and an electric wall heater that runs all the time. We think this is a fabulous time to visit our area, so come on ovah for our cozy fall/ winter touchesâwe live here year round and are excited to share our favorite time of year with you! We can also recommend lots of off-season activities like XC skiing and where to rent those as well as our favorite pumpkin patches and haunted houses nearby.
Quiet Hours
We have strict 10 pm quiet hours in Lamoine and ask that there are no parties or any loud gatherings out of respect for our neighbors. We ask that there is no music playing outdoors, as we adore and cherish the sounds of nature !
