Centrally located in MidCoast (just 20 minutes from Route 1), out in the country you'll find a "Country Getaway" situated on over 16 acres. A large field borders mostly wooded land with an old farmhouse that dates back to the late 1700's. Rumored to have been a place for travelers to stop for a hot meal and/or some shut eye before heading back out on their journey. There was an orchard here, along with a cider press and the first town meeting was also held in the main house. Come enjoy the calm, quiet air, filled with natures soothing sounds as you're enchanted by the blinking fireflies of the night.Depending on the amount of rain we get, campers may need to set up camp in front of the trees on harder ground. Pictures show a wood pile that no longer exists. You may gather wood in the forest to burn or bring your own firewood. No firewood is provided. *Please be advised. At times, nearby neighbors could potentially shoot guns/set off fireworks (holidays/hunting), you and/or your pet could be uncomfortable with this noise. This isn't an everyday occurrence; however, it does happen out here in the country. The hustle and bustle of exploring "Vacationland" can be quite overwhelming at times. Balance your trip by spending some time in nature, with a soulful stay in the country. After passing by the old farmhouse, head straight up the wildflower field to your private, peaceful campsite. Bright south facing with trees for shade, a picnic table and firepit are provided for a true camping experience. Potable water station for drinking/food preparation and dishwashing. Relax out in nature or go explore the woods. Tie your hammock between the trees. Enjoy dinner around the fire, with a glass of vino as the sun sets over the pines. Settle in for the night by toasting some gooey smores and watch as the fireflies start to put on their show (typically starting late May lasting into July). The stargazing is unreal! The terrain up to the site is easy (mowed path to follow). Some ground can become soft if we get rain (host available should you have any issues). Just 20 mins to Wiscasset (Route 1) to explore the MidCoast sights, history and taste the freshest of seafood. Right here in town Sheepscot General Store, roadside Amish stands, and Sheepscot Links Golf Course. 13 minutes to Jefferson Village, with Damariscotta Lake State Park just shortly beyond. Go for a swim, then grab a cold treat at Jefferson Scoop before heading back. Centrally located to the BEST of Maine's MidCoast regional favorites!

Campfires allowed

Firepit. DO NOT cut down any living trees on the property! You may gather wood in the forest to burn or bring your own firewood. Firewood is not provided by host (no firewood pile exists as shown in pictures).Please put out campfires before going to bed and prior to leaving the site. You can do this with water in the jugs that's been provided. The fire extinguisher is for emergency use ONLY ( if the fire escapes the firepit or something catches on fire).

Pets allowed

Off leash, on leash. *If your pet has sensitivity to guns / fireworks, there is the potential for this noise by nearby neighbors, especially around holidays/hunting season. Dogs can remain off leash at the campsite as long as they stay close to the site. If they have a tendency to wonder off, they will need to be tied up. This is the country and there are porcupines and other animals around that your pet may come into contact with, please be mindful of that when you allow them to be off leash. Lastly, please clean up after your pets so that future campers can enjoy the same cleanliness.

Hannah's Field of Dreams offers a truly peaceful and private camping experience. Campers appreciate the beautiful surroundings, with wildflowers, wildlife, and starry skies commonly mentioned. The campsite is well-equipped with amenities like a fire pit, picnic table, and potable water, which adds to the comfort. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, one camper noted the absence of expected firewood, but this did not detract from the overall satisfaction.

Exceptional host, pretty spot

We loved Hannah's quiet peaceful spot! Very private. Picnic table, fire pit, water and trash/recycling all provided. Communication was exceptional. Hannah texted us a site map and photo of her mailbox within minutes of booking to help us find the correct spot. It was a great stopover on our way to Acadia.

Hannah's Field of Dreams was a great place to stay. It's further back and away from the main house than you imagine. Its a very quiet, peaceful campsite with plenty of shade and sun if you want it. Wild flowers everywhere. Lots of birds and wildlife. A starry night there would be amazing. There are many places to setup a tent with level ground, even a large tent. The site would also fit a small RV with a minimal amount of leveling.
