Relaxing Maine Getaway

Exeter is a lovely town and region of rural Maine for a getaway, and the Exeter Nature Cabins have everything you could need. Debbie and son are great communicators and friendly hosts who are always ready to help. My fiancé and I spent a lovely week at the cabin- with a special shoutout to Yeti the sweet dog next door :) Definitely recommend!

Highly recommend we all enjoyed every aspect of this property!

No picture can do it justice, its just a beautiful cabin on a jaw dropping peice of land. Such a peaceful and comfortable place to stay. All ages enjoyed themselfs so much we extended our stay. Not only would we recommend it we plan to return to experience all the seasons at the Exter Nature Cabins. The wildlife is so friendly there wasnt a day that we didnt get to see hurds if deer or flocks of turkeys plus eagles. So many different types of animals so close to get to watch them up close is a gift. The best way to describe it is a soul soothing relaxing getaway everyone needs to experience at least once in their lives.

Nice Relaxing Stay

This cabin was a nice place to stay for our excursions around Maine. While were were there, we were able to see wildlife everyday which was fun to see. The cabin definitely helps you disconnect from the business of everyday life!

Cozy

We used two side chairs and an end table to have all our meals by the fire! Very relaxing reading in the big chair with a hassock.Beautiful sloping field in front, pristine snow. We had an equipment failure with cross country skis, but moved on to snowshoes for a lovely walk. Did one trail in boots alone, but wished we had gone back out with the snowshoes. Interesting ridge walk. We'd definitely go back at other seasons as well, but it was just what we wanted for February!snowshoes.

Great stay in the cabin !

We really enjoyed our stay. Debbie was very nice and easy to communicate with. The pictures don't do justice to the cabin, the garden and the view ! It's completely remote, very quiet. The lawn, walks and the forest are amazing and you can see a lot of animals. The cabin is very well equipped, comfortable and yes rustic but it's as advertised and charming. We will come back with more friends and family to enjoy all of this space !

Lovely Getaway

Debbie was delightful and easy to work with. The cabin was something out of a magazine. I instantly felt cozy and connected to the woods and fresh air. Hikes and a picturesque stream nearby. Full of wildlife. I woke up each morning woth coffee on the deck, listening to birds sing.

Amazing and Quiet Getaway

Every year I take a long weekend with friends for a Girls' Weekend to get away from everyday life (this was year #11 so we've been to a lot of places). This year we stayed here and we absolutely loved it! It was quiet, private, and comfortable. It had everything we needed, including wood for the fire (we forgot to bring matches/lighter). The checkin and checkout process was so easy and simple, the beds were comfortable, and the amenities were great. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for something quiet to get away. This will be added to my list of places to which I would return. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Bartlett

Host profile image
Betty & Richard Bartlett created this magical place 25 years ago when they retired. They put together 550 acres of unspoiled woods with a family home and 2 comfortable cabins. Exeter has always 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 streams, watching wildlife, eating apples and blueberries from the trees, sledding, etc. Stewardship of this property has passed to the adult children and we feel a sincere desire to share this beautiful, 'good for the soul' place with others who will enjoy it. Debbie Bartlett is the current resident and manager of Exeter Nature Cabins and environs. She is shown in the picture with her brother, Chris.

Why they chose this property

Our family has enjoyed this property for years, we are now opening it up to the public to enjoy.
