Eco-Friendly Stay

Chickadee Hollow is part of the land I live on and love! It's where I grow my food and do my best to make a positive impact on our planet. To keep this land healthy for everyone (including the chickadees), I kindly ask guests to use only biodegradable soap on the property (and keep it free of other chemicals). I provide a bottle of Dr. Bronner’s for bodies/dishes so you don’t need to bring your own.



What to Expect

Rural setting with birdsong in the morning and stargazing at night

Rustic camping (no hookups or showers)

Quiet tenting space separate from vehicles

You may share the space with a small number of friendly campers, or have the place to yourself

You might hear the neighbors but not see them

Honestly, not very buggy! A small fire keeps any bugs at bay

Woodland trails, including one to a small stream for collecting dish water (BYO potable water)

Night sounds of birds, crickets, owls, porcupines, maybe coyotes if you're lucky!

A short tour around my tiny cabin and homestead, if you like!



Perfect For

Nature lovers looking for a relaxed home base to explore the region

Individuals, couples, or small groups

Tent, hammock, bike and car campers

Guests who value low-impact, eco-friendly travel



Come enjoy the simplicity of camp life, the warmth of a fire, and the beauty of Maine’s great outdoors at Chickadee Hollow - your cozy base camp for Downeast adventures!
