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.

This was our 2nd time staying at Debbie's cabin. It is the perfect hideaway and our dogs just love all the trails and large yard. It is 45 minutes from Portland, so it is our go to place to stay when attending a concert in Portland. Debbie is really sweet and accommodating.

If you are looking for a secluded location to enjoy nature this is it. The dogs loved it as much as i did. Miles of trails and woods to explore. The host was wonderful. Friendly and prompt. Overall a terrific experience. I will say, if you are looking for 5 star luxury, keep looking.

We LOVED our stay at this cabin! The host Debbie was easy to communicate with, flexible, and provided tons of thoughtful recommendations for things to do nearby! The cabin and the surrounding property was beautiful and so fun to explore! The cabin was clean and very comfortable. There's plenty of firewood and all the essential kitchen appliances/cookware.

Cozy cabin, quiet woodsy location

We had a lovely stay -- quite a cozy and well-appointed cabin, in an out-of-the-way spot that let us explore the area and just hunker down and enjoy the solitude, as the mood took us. Our host was very welcoming and considerate. A wonderful spot!

Maine in the snowy woods.

We loved our walks looking at wildlife footprints in the snow. The cabin was cozy and the drive to the coast one day made a perfect day trip. Loved everything about it: host, property, and location.

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.
