About this property

Tiny House A-Fame Glamping Cabin with a Fabulous View, near Acadia

Relax and recharge after exploring Acadia in a Tiny House A-Frame Cabin ( on wheels) with an ensuite bathroom (with a real flush toilet!) located in the heart of Downeast Maine. You will feel like you are a million miles away yet we are only 15 minutes from civilization (and L. L. Bean!); conveniently located just 10 miles from historic Ellsworth (the gateway to Acadia) and another 18 miles from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Here are some things that you might find important:

- The View - Acadia 2's camp offers a fantastic view of the Lake and the wetlands. And on a clear day you can see Cadillac Mountain from the lakes edge.

- The Bathroom - Acadia 2 has an en-suite bathroom with hot water and a real flush toilet. And the enclosed (private) hot water outdoor shower is adjacent to the cabin.

-The Location - We are close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor yet far enough away to avoid the crowds, traffic, and noise. Our Glamping Camps are deep in the woods on our seven acre private property, not in a campground or "Glamping Resort." We have only three glamping camps on our property; Acadia 2, Acadia 1 (VRBO#2347814), and Acadia 3 (VRBO #2686389).

Some other things to note:

Acadia 2 features a double bed with a real mattress, crisp, clean sheets, and cozy duvets.

The outdoor kitchen, which is in a common area features a gas grill, a separate stovetop, and a microwave. Coffee, Tea, hot chocolate, and drinking water is available in the outdoor kitchen. We provide basic pots, pans and cooking utensils and plates, cups, and eating utensils. The outdoor kitchen's refrigerator is stocked with condiments and essentials and the ingredients for S'Mores.

The campfire ring with comfortable Adirondack chairs is adjacent to the outdoor kitchen area. There is no need to bring or buy firewood, we have plenty.

The road in to our property is a half mile camp road that takes you deep into the woods. No traffic, no noise, just seclusion, quiet, trees, and the beautiful lake.

Please note that the Acadia 2 is about 125 feet down a gravel path from the parking area (and just steps to the lake) so you cannot park right next to the tent. We have a luggage cart/wagon available if needed.

***Glamping Downeast is in Maine's great outdoors so be prepared to accept the inherent risk of your adventure including wildlife, insects, and unpredictable conditions (we can’t control weather). Come with an adventurous and open mind, and some bug spray.

This was our family's first "glamping" experience. We loved it. Our host Lee was helpful and made us feel comfortable at the site. Everything in the tent and A frame was clean and in good working order. We were close enough to the conveniences of a town, but far enough away to feel like we were on an outdoor adventure.

A very beautiful, quiet area. The bed in the tent and in the A-frame were very comfortable. The A-frame has two twins beds, and a little bathroom with toilet and sink. The outdoor shower off of the tent had great water pressure! Would definitely stay here again! About 40 min from Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park, 10 min from Ellsworth, and about 30 min from Bangor International Airport.

Acadia stay
Great property as advertised. We took advantage of the owners' suggestions about visiting Acadia and places to eat in the area. That helped make our vacation memorable.

About the host

Hosted by Lee & Peg Crockett

Host profile image
As avid sailors we have owned several sailboats, lived aboard, and cruised Mexico's Sea of Cortez with our young kids. We have backpacked through Europe and hiked and camped throughout the U.S. Peg is a landscaper and a piano teacher and Lee operated a market research company that specialized in zoos and museums. We have also owned and operated two marinas; one in Maine on the Penobscot River and one in St. Louis Missouri on the Mississippi River.

In 2015 we started Glamping St. Louis with a single glamping tent and then expanded to six unique glamping sites. We have hosted over 300 glamping couples and families from across the country at Glamping St. Louis.

We sold the St. Louis glamping business early in 2021 and bought our property in Maine. The idea was to create a family camp that we could use with our children and grandchildren and when not in use, make glamping available to others.

Since 2021 we have hosted over 150 couples and families in one of our three glamping campsites here on our property in Maine. We spend the “season”; Memorial Day through October, in Maine and November through April back in St. Louis.

Why they chose this property

Deep in the woods yet fifteen minutes to downtown Ellsworth. Fantastic view of Graham Lake and only 28 miles from the entrance to Acadia National Park.

What makes this property unique

Glamping on private property, not in a campground. Complete seclusion and a real bathroom right inside the tent!
