Testimonials

"Amazing garden’s! The fire pit was lovely and wood was provided! Sara and Daniel were most accommodating. The bull frogs croaked us to sleep."

–Judy

"Sara Beth and Daniel were great hosts. Loved picking some blueberries and putting them into pancakes for breakfast. Threshers Brewing right down the road is a must stop for a drink or seltzer."
–Whitney

"The homestead they have created here was the oasis didn’t know I needed in the middle of my travels. I got the best sleep I’ve had in weeks here on their little slice of paradise. I had the chance to meet and talk to Daniel, he was genuine, passionate, and kind. He was happy to share everything about the homestead and the story behind it, which I loved. If you are looking for an intimate experience in the middle of Maine- this is the perfect place to be."

–Andrew

"We loved our stay! The hosts (and their sweet cats) were helpful, hospitable, and respectful. We felt welcomed and comfortable. The area is beautiful and so peaceful, as well. Stars are amazing! Highly recommend!"
–Emily

"My partner and I stayed in this homestead campsite and it gave us a real look into what it takes to homestead. The hard work Sara Beth and Daniel have put into this place is apparent and nothing has gone without thought and care. The place is a sight to behold-and the journey continues! They were beyond friendly and even had a beautiful fire going with s’mores supplies at the ready. They were friendly and kind. The house where we used the restroom was gorgeous. It felt like a real get away and yet a peek into the life of these homesteaders. 

–Savannah

"This was a fantastic stay and such a cute AirBnB! Everything is clean and as described in the listing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a charming place with lots of character!"

–Kate

"A very restful and homey place to stay; if you want the experience of an actively evolving Homestead, this is a great place to visit! Considerate hosts and a super comfortable bed round out this pleasurable experience."

–Dhyana

Sara’s house could be described as “five stars rustic accommodations immersed into beautiful nature.” If seriously, this is a very cozy and comfortable place to stay. Nicely restored old house filled with old furniture, books, music instruments. It is surrounded by forest and garden: no matter in which room you are, there is always great view. Spacious kitchen equipped with everything that you need to prepare a meal. Very comfortable bed. They are also very knowledgeable and passionate about their home area: hence, great source of information about tourist attractions and simply realities of the local life. My only regret is that we stayed just one night instead of making Sara’s home a base to explore the area. I would love to come back."
