Get away from it all when you stay at our sweet little off grid cabin in the woods. A place where sleep and peace meet! Surrounded by 15 acres of woods and fields and within walking distance to Birch Point State Park, you'll have a perfect little getaway - all while being only a few minutes away from Rockland. The space The cabin has a comfortable queen size bed, 2 twin beds in the loft accessed by a ladder. There is a Unique propane 4 burner cook stove and oven, solar generator to turn on lights and charge cell phones, a 7 gallon water jug connected to the faucet safe (BPA free) for drinking and washing, and a Morso stove if its cold. We will provide bio bricks for heat during the winter months. There is also an on-demand hot water outdoor shower that uses a rain catchment system. A 2 person wood fired hot tub is available to be used too, perfect for a good night soak. Please don’t forget your towels! The outhouse is a short walk from the cabin and is called a throne room as you have to climb some steps to get to it. The outdoor fire pit is right out back of the cabin, perfect for making s'mores- bring your own firewood or use any wood that can be found on the ground or near the fire pit. Please don't cut down any trees or limbs from a tree. There is a charcoal grill with a small container of charcoal next to the cabin if you like to grill out and clothesline to hang out your wet towels and bathing suits. LINENS - Please bring your own bedding including pillows/queen and twin size sheets/blankets or sleeping bags. We are spraying down all surfaces in the cabins with a cleaning solution and taking the necessary precautions to disinfect everything. We will have bedding available if you cannot bring your own. Also, bring your own towels for bathing. Linen fee - $35 (Please allow 24 hours notice of needing these items) We provide basic cookware, a tea pot, coffee pour over, and a couple 7 gallon jugs of water for you to drink and wash dishes in. One of the water jugs will be hooked up to our water pump that is run by our solar setup. With no plumbing or well we have come up with an easy solution to provide you with water. Just turn on the faucet and the water will be pumped up from the jug! It then empties into our gray water tank under the sink. Very easy and very off grid! If you want more water to be hooked up, we'll provide instructions or give us a shout and we'll come do it for you. The fun of glamping! We love dogs and know how hard it is to find a place that allows them to come on vacation with you! Potty trained, well behaved, dogs of any size are welcome! Please remember though that this is in the Maine woods and wildlife abound. Dogs cannot be left in the cabin unattended. Guest access This cabin is located on a 15 acres of private land. We are surrounded by woods but close to the ocean. Birch Point State Park is right down the road, perfect walking distance. Our cabin is accessed by a keycode. We will have a very thorough welcome and guide book to help you enjoy your stay at an off grid space. We don't live very far away so we can either help you get settled or give you space. There are plenty of hiking trails nearby, lot's of beaches (both fresh and ocean), islands to visit, kayaking and boating, skiing during the winter months, ice skating, museums and art galleries to stroll through and fantastic restaurants to sit and enjoy a meal. Brochures and recommendations will be included in our guide book or basket. We are also very close to the Knox County Regional Airport so there will occasionally be a general aviation plane flying over. Most of them are small, local planes heading out to the islands but they fly during the day. Enjoy the evening outside at the fire pit, grates are available for cooking over the fire! Keep the bug spray handy, it is Maine, we have some mosquitos. Be diligent in checking for ticks too. Other things to note VERY IMPORTANT TO READ BEFORE YOU BOOK: Our cabin is located on a dirt road in a rural area. You will also have to walk up marked path to rental. Pending on the time that you arrive, it may be dark even with our solar lights that mark the path, so plan accordingly. It also is a short little hike to the cabin about 200 feet which helps you feel like you really can escape from it all. Before booking please take into consideration that this really is a quiet off grid space on a dirt road, so if you're apprehensive this might not be the cabin for you. That said, I really think it's an adventure that you won't regret taking! During the winter months, the cabin will be dry but the ceiling and floor are the only parts insulated. There is however a Morso woodstove that should keep the place reasonably warm. Shower - We provide a solar shower bag that can be heated in the sun. Use it as you see fit weather and season dependent. Bathroom - The bathroom is an outhouse! It's clean and fun and easily accessed right down a path from the cabin. There is a solar light and a nightlight for the occasional runs to the WC in the middle of the night. The cabin is off grid and the solar system collects sun for electricity. This charges our battery bank that runs our mini fridge, water pump (that way the 7 gallon water jug can be pumped to the faucet), lights and our little usb/outlet box. Please only cell phones and small electronics can be plugged into the white charge box. No hair dryers. Although this situation is rare, if there is no sun...then there may be no electricity for the lights, fridge and water pump. Bring along lanterns and flashlights in case this happens and plan on charging your phone in your car if needed. We do not have wifi. Most guests say they can get cell phone service from the cabin, but it depends on who your service provider is. Bring your own towels, queen and twin size sheets/blankets/sleeping bags/pillow cases. All the beds and pillows will have clean protective coverings when you arrive. If you are unable to bring these items, we can provide linens, a comforter, an extra blanket and 2 towels for an additional fee. Everything will come clean and the bed made. Linen fee - $35 (Please allow 24 hours notice of needing these items) All dogs of any type are welcome! Remember its on a 15 acre spread of land surrounded by 30-40 acres of private land. There are wildlife around such as deer, coyotes, foxes, and porcupines. Please help us keep this airbnb dog friendly by cleaning up after your pet!
