We had a lovely stay in the Main Cabin! Debbie was very helpful and communicated with us as we needed. The property is very homey and comfortable. Perfect stay for a wedding in Corinna. Just tucked away enough down a beautiful road past cows and scenic trees and farmlands. Water pressure in the shower was excellent and sitting on the front porch is really peaceful in the morning!
Other than it being the season for black flies, I had a great stay at the cabin. The cabin is super cute and Debbie is very nice and welcoming. She lives nearby the cabin, so if thereâs anything you need, sheâs very quick to responding. There was a few days of rain, and luckily, I brought my laptop and a speaker with me so I could connect to my Netflix and YouTube TV to watch some news and movies. There is not a TV in the cabin. Due to the amount of rain, and the fact that it was spring, the black flies were horrendous. They ate up my dogs, and I had to get them some Benadryl and some spray to keep the flies off of them. It kept me inside where I didnât feel comfortable walking the trails or sitting by the fire pit and enjoying a nice fire in the evenings. I did enjoy the view and seeing the deer at times nearby. Walmart was about a 30 minute drive to get groceries.
Debbie was an absolutely wonderful host! Her cabin was incredibly clean, quiet and beautiful! Highly recommend!! We will definitely be booking her property again!
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.
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.
Loved this place and so did our dogs. Definately want to come back. Amazing huge wood fireplace and lots of land right out the back door to explore and throw the frisbee. It would be a great place for kids too. So quiet! No airplane noise even! No cars or neighbor noises. Clean, very comfy beds, well stocked kitchen and linens and even a washer/dryer. Also decent water pressure and a combo hand/regular shower head came in handy. Huge too with multiple beds. Two bedrooms with pocket doors that closed (a bit sticky and hard to move tho). It was pretty hard to find at night. The area is pitch dark and the roads are bumpy dirt roads hard to distiguish from a private drive. Google maps also has Downing Rd, the left turn off of Rt 43, as closed, and directs you to turn off prior to Downing (if coming from the west) onto Atkins which isn't a real road lol. Good wifi & cell service. No TV but we brought my 36 in and that was fine. I'm picky so brought my coffee machine but there was multiple machines (Keurig also Cuisinart drip) so I didn't need it. There isn't much to do in the immediate area tourist-wise but it's half an hour from Bangor and there is a good antique mall in Corrina as well as a family type restaurant across the street. Was surprised to see buggy crossing signs on Rt 43! And then we saw an actual buggy with people! Bet that would be a highlight for kids
We came up for a long weekend. Wedding in a near by town. So beautiful the location of the property spent many hours sitting on the porch and by the fire
I don't live too far from the area but wanted to be closer to the venue where my daughter was getting married. I wished I was there for a real vacation! Will try to go back in future.
Our stay here in Exeter nature cabins was glorious, the host, Miss Debbie was very kind.
The cabin was clean, and we absolutely loved where it is situated in the midst of the great outdoors of Maine.
We definitely want to come back here and enjoy another vacation in this great spot.
Remote property but great place to relax and unwind. Owner very knowledgeable of area . Enjoyed our stay .we have family members in area which made visits easy.
Beautiful area and log 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 !
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!
Excellent rustic log cabin!! Everything you neede plus!! It was wonderful in all ways. Met all our needs. Just one little problem one bathroom 5 adults!! We made it work! Would love to go back Mother Nature at her best!!
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.
