We absolutely loved the remoteness and solitude. Quiet and peaceful. Loved the rustic ambience. Everything was as is listed on the listing. We felt like we were back at our cabin in Alaska, except here we had power and running water… hahaha. This is where I will stay every time I come to Maine.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Bartlett

Host profile image
Exeter has been a family gathering place and we have had numerous family holidays, get-to-gethers and two weddings here. The younger generation of our family spent their childhood exploring the woods and nature here. Betty & Richard always wanted Exeter Nature Cabins to be about keeping a natural area for animals and nature education.

Why they chose this property

It's peaceful, beautiful, soul renewing place to stay. EVERYONE who stays here says they love it. There are activities for everyone. If your a homebody, then stay on the deck and enjoy the wildlife from there. There are hiking trails that range from leisurely to more challenging. We are just starting to build a place where folks can come and learn more about the woods and natural environment around them. We don't have those opportunites when we live in the city.
