We stayed here 4 nights and it wasn't enough, each morning has been unique and every moment is filled with the beauty that surrounds this land. Our stay has been highlighted by sightings of glistening grassy shores, eagles, muskrats, deer, distant sights and sounds of loons, porcupine, great blues, and an in your face hummingbird encounter. The glamping tent and deck has enabled us to relax and embrace the true beauty and quietness of Maine. Our host, Lee was very friendly and gave us great directions to nearby Acadia spotlights. We finished our stay with an incredible sunrise...we will return next year. Thanks again,Rob & Beth Basler
Lee and Peg were incredible hosts. Kind, friendly and helpful! The tent was clean and tidy. The view of the lake was much better in person too. Peg was kind enough to point out a cluster of Indian Ghost Pipe, a fascinating plant growing in the wood just outside the tent. Lee gave a brief natural history of the site, advice on how best to see Acadia, and was quick to address any requests we had. Their advice on Acadia was tremendously helpful and we were able to beat the crowds and do some incredible hikes. We heard Barred owls calling at night and watched a myriad of birds dance around the lake. While the hosts were helpful and friendly we still enjoyed plenty of the private alone time we had come for. Lovely experience. Glamping to the max, well worth the money.
Lee has hit the jackpot with his glamping site. The tent was plenty big of enough for my spouse and I, bed was comfortable, space heater kept us warm when the nights got cooler, and the bathroom was very clean. The outdoor shower had hot water and a view!
Lee greeted us as soon as we pulled in and was available anytime we needed him throughout our stay. His recommendations and advice were spot on too!
The glamping site was the perfect location for us. Close enough to go into Bar Harbor and Acadia for the day, and just down the road to enjoy dinner and ice cream in Ellsworth. Yet still keeping the feeling of being in the middle of the woods to enjoy the camping side of our stay.
We canât wait to make the 10 hour drive back up to stay here again!
This rural stay in the woods of Ellsworth, Maine was the perfect escape for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary.
The location was in a rural spot next to a gorgeous pond and we even spotted a Bald Eagle right upon arrival! It was about 45 min drive to the sights we wanted to visit in Bar Harbor and Acadia which was perhaps a bit further than ideal but for what we wanted in a getaway, it was worth it!
Lee greeted us immediately upon arrival and was so relaxed and friendly he made us feel at home and at ease right away. He showed us how to work everything with ease and the onsite kitchen area too. Lee & Peg stay on the same property which helped us feel safe in case we needed anything or if anything happened, but they completely respect your space and privacy for the whole of the visit.
The tent itself was bigger than I imagined and I was worried it would be too cold as we came at the end of September. But it had a heater that warmed the whole tent so fast we even had to shut it off a few times!
Everything was super super clean which I am a stickler about and was very impressed by. The bed was SO comfortable. Only downside was while my husband had a warm shower, mine only lasted a minute or twoâ but I think that was really our doing in the end because we took them at the end of the day so the hot water may have run out by that point. Really, we had a wonderful stay here overall and would highly recommend it!
The tent was great and had a lot of extra features. The location was extremely quiet and serene on the lake. The host was friendly and accommodating as well!
As we wrap up our week here exploring the Northeast we all agree our 2 nights spent âglampingâ were our favorite! The view was amazing, the bed was super comfy affording for a GREAT nights sleep & the kids enjoyed the camp fire & making smores! With nice warm showers, a bathroom, fridge & coffee maker you have all thats needed for an ejoyable stay!
Thanks Lee for sharing your little piece of heaven!
My husband and I stayed here during our trip to Acadia! We wanted a camping feel but didnât have any of our camping gear with us. This was the perfect compromise! The tent was very clean and spacious. The bathroom with a flushing toilet and running water was very nice to have. The shower is outside over looking the lake. There are some trees in front so itâs fairly private. The bed was very comfortable. We stayed in early October and were a little worried about being cold but the heater in the tent kept us very warm and was easy to use. The community area with the kitchen and fire ring were well stocked. The campsite is about 45 minutes to the entrance to Acadia and about an hour to the top of Cadillac Mountain if you are going to watch the sunrise like us. Itâs not a bad drive and you pass a Walmart if you need food/supplies. There is also a mini fridge/freezer and a keurig coffee machine in the tent. Lee was very easy to get in contact with if we had any questions and made the check in process easy. Lee even had a fire set up and ready to go when we got back from the park that evening! Overall we had a great time glamping and enjoyed our stay!
The glamping site was well appointed, clean and peaceful. The view from the deck was wonderful and adirondak chairs perfect for morning coffee. The outdoor shower was hot, private and right at the tent. The camp kitchen had all you would need to make a meal includung condiments. And camp fire necesseities were also provided including smore ingredients! It was exactly what we were looking for!
