Visit Downeast Maine and stay in our cozy camper nestled in the pines on a working organic vegetable and Christmas tree farm five minutes from the Schoodic area of Acadia National Park. At the southern tip of Schoodic Peninsula is Schoodic Point, quite possibly the prettiest spot in all of Acadia National Park. And since it's located in the Schoodic portion of one of the most visited national parks in the US, it only sees about 10% of the tourist traffic the main area of the park on Mt. Desert Island sees. At the park you can drive the Schoodic Loop Road with spectacular views of the rugged coastline and islands. Hike or bike the trails, enjoy wildlife watching or fishing as well. You'll stay in our adorable 20-foot travel trailer with all the comforts of home: stocked kitchen with gas burners, convection microwave and refrigerator/freezer plus pantry space, bathroom with shower, queen bed and dinette that converts to sleeping space, TV with local channels and DVDs, and stereo inside and out. Outside is an awning and seating for al fresco dining.The camper sits right at the end of a mossy bedded forest. It is completely quiet with no artificial lighting under the dark Maine sky. You have access to anywhere you would like to go on our 200 acres of forest, quarry, Christmas trees, vegetable gardens and even a spring fed pond. We are on the Schoodic peninsula, and a five-minute drive from the entrance to Acadia National Park. The Schoodic area of Acadia National Park offers visitors a unique and peaceful experience away from the crowds of the park's more popular areas. Some of the things you can do in Schoodic include: Scenic Drives: Schoodic Loop Road is a 6-mile scenic drive with spectacular views of the rugged coastline and offshore islands. Hiking: The Schoodic Peninsula has over 8 miles of hiking trails that wind through forests, over rocky cliffs, and along the shoreline. The trails range in difficulty from easy to moderate, and there are plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife along the way. Biking: The park has over 4 miles of bike paths that are perfect for cyclists of all levels. Wildlife Watching: Schoodic is home to a variety of wildlife, including bald eagles, harbor seals, and porpoises. The park rangers lead wildlife watching tours for visitors who want to learn more about the area's unique ecosystem. Fishing: The waters around Schoodic Peninsula are teeming with fish, including mackerel, cod, and striped bass. Visitors can cast their lines from the shore or take a charter boat out into the bay. Overall, Acadia National Park at Schoodic offers visitors a chance to experience the natural beauty of Maine in a tranquil and less-crowded setting. Need some action? Bar Harbor is a short 40-minute drive or an even shorter ferry ride! Operated by the Winter Harbor Ferry Service, the ferry runs from mid-June through early October and takes approximately 45 minutes each way. The ferry provides a convenient and picturesque way to travel between the towns while enjoying views of Frenchman Bay, the Schoodic Peninsula, and the surrounding islands. The ferry can accommodate passengers as well as bicycles and pets, and there is a snack bar on board. The fare for the ferry varies depending on age and whether or not you are traveling with a bike or pet, but generally, it is very affordable. Once you arrive in Bar Harbor, there are plenty of things to see and do, including exploring the charming downtown area, visiting the many shops and restaurants, or hiking in Acadia National Park.

The Hummingbird

My stay on the Hummingbird with my friend was a superb experience. From a smooth check in with a welcome snacks, and a very clean RV with provided outdoor fire pit and wood and chairs. Stephanie was very helpful too when asked questions about specifics on the RV controls. I would highly recommend staying here and consider coming back.

The Hummingbird

Perfect getaway near Acadia!

I loved staying at the Hummingbird with my partner! We were there for two nights, and used it as a home base for visiting Winter Harbor, Acadia National Park, and the Schoodic Peninsula. It is ~5min drive to Winter Harbor, ~10 min to the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia National Park, and ~1 hr to the main Acadia attractions and Bar Harbor. Stephanie thought of everything! We really enjoyed having the amenities of a hotel room in a more remote part of Maine. The camper was clean, well stocked with coffee/snacks/water, and we had all of the linens and towels we needed. The exterior of the camper has a really nice covered area under the awning where you can lounge in the provided camping chairs. The drive to the camper is very approachable, any vehicle can reach it and park in the gravel driveway just outside. We would highly recommend a stay at the Hummingbird and on Stephanie's land! It was an absolute treat

The Hummingbird

The PERFECT base camp for Acadia!

The Hummingbird was the perfect little spot to base my Acadia National Park adventures. Tucked away, but an easy drive to any amenities you may need. It was very private and quiet. Stephanie is an incredible host! She was so easy to communicate with and very flexible with my late arrival. Also, her rental instruction and list of local attractions is hands down the best and most complete I have ever seen from any host across all similar platforms! It made staying a breeze and I will 100% stay again the next time I can make it to Maine!
