About this property

Relax, unwind, and recharge after exploring Acadia in a luxury Glamping Tent with an en-suite bathroom (with a real flush toilet!) located in the heart of DownEast Maine. "Acadia 3" offers the perfect mix of luxury, nature, and a fabulous view. 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 - The Glamping Tent's deck offers a fantastic view of the Lake and the woods. And on a clear day you can see Cadillac Mountain from the Acadia 3's deck.

- The Bathroom - Acadia 3 has an en-suite bathroom with hot water and a real flush toilet. And the enclosed (private) outdoor shower is nestled under the tent's awning.

-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 3, Acadia 2 (VRBO #2522475), and Acadia 1 (VRBO #2347814).

Some other things to note:

Acadia 3 features a king bed with a real king mattress, crisp, clean sheets, and cozy duvets. It also features a futon that converts to a full bed. Plus we have a pack and play and a crib available .

Acadia 3 has a mini fridge and a Keurig coffee maker (with an assortment of K-cups) so you can enjoy coffee in the morning and cold drinks in the evening on the deck without having to leave the tent.

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 Acadia 3 is about 250 feet down a gravel path from the parking area (and just steps from the edge of 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.

Successful Glamping Adventure

Lee has hit the jackpot with his glamping site. The tent was plenty big of enough for my spouse and I, bed was comfortable, space heater kept us warm when the nights got cooler, and the bathroom was very clean. The outdoor shower had hot water and a view! Lee greeted us as soon as we pulled in and was available anytime we needed him throughout our stay. His recommendations and advice were spot on too! The glamping site was the perfect location for us. Close enough to go into Bar Harbor and Acadia for the day, and just down the road to enjoy dinner and ice cream in Ellsworth. Yet still keeping the feeling of being in the middle of the woods to enjoy the camping side of our stay. We can’t wait to make the 10 hour drive back up to stay here again!

Perfect romantic escape

This rural stay in the woods of Ellsworth, Maine was the perfect escape for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary. The location was in a rural spot next to a gorgeous pond and we even spotted a Bald Eagle right upon arrival! It was about 45 min drive to the sights we wanted to visit in Bar Harbor and Acadia which was perhaps a bit further than ideal but for what we wanted in a getaway, it was worth it! Lee greeted us immediately upon arrival and was so relaxed and friendly he made us feel at home and at ease right away. He showed us how to work everything with ease and the onsite kitchen area too. Lee & Peg stay on the same property which helped us feel safe in case we needed anything or if anything happened, but they completely respect your space and privacy for the whole of the visit. The tent itself was bigger than I imagined and I was worried it would be too cold as we came at the end of September. But it had a heater that warmed the whole tent so fast we even had to shut it off a few times! Everything was super super clean which I am a stickler about and was very impressed by. The bed was SO comfortable. Only downside was while my husband had a warm shower, mine only lasted a minute or two— but I think that was really our doing in the end because we took them at the end of the day so the hot water may have run out by that point. Really, we had a wonderful stay here overall and would highly recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Lee & Peg Crockett

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.
