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 two— 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!
