Isle au Haut

Part treehouse, part tiny house, this nearly-finished abode is called "Isle au Haut" ("High Island"), named after an island in northern Maine. The dwelling consists of two structures connected by a rope bridge. The builders used vintage and salvaged materials when possible. 

STRUCTURE #1: Structure has a bedroom, with a wall of south-facing windows affording stunning river views and includes king-size bed (or two twin beds upon request).  

STRUCTURE #2: This structure includes a small kitchen and dining area with large windows for water views, a small full bathroom and a screened-in porch with rockers, napping couch and river views.

Kitchen includes a two-burner stove, sink, a small fridge, pots, pans, dishes and a toaster oven (no regular oven).

Madawaska

You are invited to the first season of this custom built tree dwelling. This abode is called "Madawaska," which means "where two rivers join."  Part treehouse, part tiny house, the dwelling consists of two elevated structures connected by a private deck (with trees growing up through). They've used vintage and salvaged materials when possible. 

STRUCTURE #1: Structure has a bedroom, with an entire wall of south-facing windows, affording stunning river views and includes a king-sized bed (or two twin beds upon request). 

STRUCTURE #2: This structure includes a small kitchen and dining area with large windows for water views, a small full bathroom, and a screened-in porch with sitting area and river views. 

Kitchen includes: two-burner stove, sink, small fridge, pots, pans, dishes and toaster oven (no regular oven). 

Both structures have views across a river bay and down river to where the Back River meets the Kennebec River (hence "Madawaska") just before both flow into ocean—past Seguin Island (where George Washington commissioned a lighthouse).  Across the Back River lie hundreds of acres of pristine conservation land. 

Part of the year, this tree dwelling will be used for the Seguin Artist-in-Residence Program at the Back River Institute, which is under development. 

Canoes and kayaks are available for a small fee if you book in advance.
