Two larger apartments on site, see "The Space" for details.
Please visit our mountainside organic orchard! From the tiny, post & beam barn apartment enjoy views of the Camden Hills, or, if you hike our blueberry hill, all the way to Acadia w/ lake & ocean views. Short drive to Lincolnville Beach, Megunticook Lake, hiking trails, towns of Belfast & Camden. 1 br, pull-out sngl couch, tiny br w/ shower, "galley" kitchen, AC. Back deck for breakfast or stargazing.

The space
**This comfy, small apartment suits 1 or 2 people best.**
We have hosted couples with a small child but for privacy & space reasons, people who like a large kitchen and bathroom with tub or parties of 2-3 should look at our more spacious Cider House apartments, Cider House East at Sewall Orchard and Cider House West at Sewall Orchard. Those have a large kitchen and large bathroom with tub and shower combo and queen fold-out couch in living room. Please note that there are steep stairs to the Treehouse. This farm sits on 46 acres of land on the side of Levensellar Mountain, 900 vertical feet above sea level. The barn apartment looks down past our house and to the orchard and the Camden Hills beyond. Trees block the view between our house and your bedroom windows and the little back deck. This old post and beam building is not airtight, and in spring and summer it attracts ladybugs and tiny "sugar ants." We use the least toxic ant management substance possible but if you fear ants or ladybugs look at our other two apartments which are newly built and tighter.

Guest access
Guests can walk or hike anywhere on the property; up to the top of our blueberry hill or down through the orchard. There are trails to a bridge over Tucker Brook and up to a natural spring. Bob needs to mark the trails but they are close to the house and easy. Knox and Waldo counties in Maine have a high deer tick population so please dress appropriately for maximum coverage for walking or hiking. You may also wish to look up the homeopathic remedy Ledum, which many people use for Lyme prevention. This is indeed a working farm and you will see ancient trucks, farm equipment, rusty things, and the like.
Nothing is off limits but the farm pond.

Other things to note
A lot to note! First we welcome all guests, and honor diversity. During apple season the main cider pressing days are Thursdays and Sundays. *Noise and activity begin by 7:30 am. Though the space is well-insulated, you will be able to hear the apple grinder. Caveat emptor: People who need or want to sleep in on these days kindly be advised! You can watch the cider operation if you like. Sundays we press other peoples' apples for them and have many customers who have come with their families for this joyous ritual for years! We use natural laundry and dish soaps and use no dryer sheets or fabric softener. We do NOT iron our sheets. Maybe some day when we can hire a laundry person! Our water is from these hills and good to drink. Our lovely trees are delicate. We have never used sprays or pesticides of any kind, so our apples are not "dessert quality" in looks ---some have bumps and blotches---but they are highly nutritious due to the high nutrient content of our soil.In season you can buy cider and vinegar is for sale year round, with a day or two notice, as Bob ages the vinegar 3 years and we bottle on demand.
