Madawaska
“Where Two Rivers Join” - Part modern tree house, part vintage tiny house, this is the place to experience the airiness of life up among the trees. This unique two-structure abode is perched atop a 21-acre wooded hill sloping to dramatic river views, which can be enjoyed most fully from the attached wood-fired cedar hot tub. The dwelling consists of two elevated structures connected by a private deck, and accessed by a spiral staircase. We've used vintage and salvaged materials when possible.
Madawaska
This two-structure abode with a wood-fired cedar hot tub is accessed by a spiral staircase.
The first structure contains nothing but the simple elegance of a king sized bed before an entire wall of south facing windows, affording stunning river views and sunshine in the morning. The king bed can be set up as two twin beds upon request.
The second structure includes a small kitchen / dining area with large windows for water views, a small full bathroom, and a screened-in porch with sitting area, and river views. The kitchen includes a two-burner stove, sink, small fridge, pots, pans, dishes, and a toaster oven (no regular oven).
Additional cooking details: there’s a charcoal grill for cookouts by the dwelling, please bring your own charcoal.
For late night s’mores and stargazing there’s a fire-pit on ground-level. Please bring your own fire-wood for the fire-pit.
Both structures, along with the wood-fired cedar hot tub, have views across a river bay, past conservation land and down river to where the Back River meets the Kennebec River (hence "Madawaska") just before both flow into open ocean and past Seguin Island…where George Washington commissioned a lighthouse.
Canoes and kayaks are available to use at any time in the Back River.
Entire Property note: we also offer guests the option to book the Entire Property, including all 21 acres, all 3 tree dwellings, gathering space in the trees, and cookhouse. The gathering space is a pristine 24x32 lofted room built around three mammoth pines. It contains walls of windows and a 32’ x 12’ deck overlooking the river. Table and chairs collapse and hide for open space. Our latest build, the cookhouse, is a fully equipped kitchen, with seating for 20 people along a long community style table.
