Hideout207

1 site · Lodging22 acres · Westport Island, ME

Your Maine island (accessible by bridge) “hideout” awaits in our off the grid 1860s barn on a former saltwater farm with acres of field, forest, and a private beach to explore. More photos and reels on FB and IG @hideout207 This experience is not for everyone! The barn remains very much as it was over 150 years ago- with all the gaps, cracks, leaks and yes, spiders and probably an inquisitive red squirrel! Kind of like living out your Laura Ingalls Wilder dreams…or if, when you were a kid, you always wanted to make a club house or hideout, and stay there! We are at the south end of the island, so it’s 15-20 minutes to Wiscasset for groceries and restaurants. But: See the stars as never before, fall asleep to the sounds of nature, watch the deer graze, spend an afternoon in the hammock in the woods by the beach, or relax on your private patio. Hideout207 provides a grill and French Press, tented outdoor toilet with sink, and a fully tented queen bed. Please note that the front of the barn faces the back of my house, but the patio area is completely out of view from the house. The beach is accessible by a winding path through the woods. Next to the shore, you’ll find the hammock, table and chairs set up with beautiful views. Explore the tide pools, bask in the sun on a rocky perch, watch lobster boats hauling traps, and enjoy one of those lobsters by the beach! In addition to the trail on the property, Westport Island has several beautiful public trails. Sasanoa Brewery and Lulu’s barn (alpacas and yoga!) are great places to visit while you’re on Westport. I’d say Hideout 207 is glamp-ish… The barn retains its rustic charm, decorated with original farming tools, fishing gear, and the odds and ends that have wound up in the barn over the past 160 years. Inside you’ll find a comfortable sitting area, bed, and table. The patio offers views of the woods, field, and water. It is very much a barn though- so despite the giant screened in doors to keep the mosquitoes out, the comfy queen mattress is completely enclosed with a mosquito net tent, along with few more layers of netting. Practical -and a little romantic!

Barns in Maine with a private bathroom guide

Overview

There's much more to Maine than lighthouses, lobster shacks, and sandy beaches. The northernmost state in New England packs in surprising variety, from the rocky islands and seaside resorts of the Atlantic shore to the forests and mountains of the Appalachian Mountains. Campers can take their pick of 32 state parks and one epic national park, filled with lakes, woodlands, and beaches to hike, bike, climb, and kayak. "Vacationland" pulls in the summer crowds, especially along the coast, but our pick is fall, when the northern highlands are ablaze with foliage.

Where to go

Aroostook & the Highlands

Maine’s mountainous north is the stuff that hiker’s bucket lists are made of. The sprawling wilderness of Baxter State Park is the starting point of the epic Appalachian Trail and home to Maine’s highest peak—the 5,267-foot Mount Katahdin. Miles of hiking trails run through the highlands, along with some of the state’s best snowmobiling and cross-country skiing trails. To get on the water, head to Moosehead Lake, or try paddling and backcountry tent camping along the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.

Maine Lakes & Mountains

The hills and valleys of western Maine are peppered with high peaks and hundreds of glacial lakes, affording plenty of opportunities for a back-to-nature camping experience. Drive the High Peaks Scenic Byway for some of the most spectacular views, enjoy family camping at Sebago Lake State Park, or check into an RV park near Bethel, Naples, or Lewiston. In winter, rent a cozy ski chalet and hit the ski resorts of Sugar Loaf, Shawnee Peak, and Sunday River.

Southern Maine Coast

When summer temperatures soar, some of the most popular Maine campgrounds and beaches are found along the southwest shore. Head to the beach towns of Kennebunkport, Freeport, and Portland for old-fashioned seaside fun; go boating or kayaking around Casco Bay; then snag an RV site or cabin rental at the oceanfront campground in Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park.

Downeast & Acadia

Maine’s only national park, Acadia National Park, is the headline act of DownEast, the state’s rugged and rocky southeastern coast. Opt to stay on the mainland at Bar Harbor and head over to admire the park’s historic lighthouses and ocean views, or choose from multiple camping areas on the islands. Further north, the 15 coastal parklands of Cobscook Shores have picnic tables, boat launches, and backcountry camping sites.
