FAQs

  • A Landscape Hotel is specifically designed to facilitate a direct, immersive connection with the landscape and surrounding natural environment. As best we know, the term was coined by Norwegian architects Jensen & Skodvin in the naming process for the Juvet Landscape Hotel in Valldal, Norway, which opened in 2008. Juvet features in the film Ex Machina and television series Succession.

  • We are located in North Orland, at 85 Dodge Hill Rd, Orland, ME 04472. In fact, our 166-acre property is the northern-most parcel in the town, abutting Dedham to the north and Bucksport to the west. We are 15 minutes off route 1 to the south, and 15 minutes off route 1A to the North. Acadia National Park is 45 minutes away. 

  • To preserve the quiet and the soil, our property is primarily pedestrian-focused. Guests park in a central lot, and we provide gear carts (or staff assistance) to help transport luggage to your cabin via our maintained service roadways.

  • Toward the top of the hill, there’s a parking lot to your right. Park here, load up your cart (provided), and walk to your cabin! Signage marks the way. 

  • Yes; our central outdoor area, which we call “The Tables,” includes long covered tables, fire pits, and Adirondack chairs. There is also a shared sauna with bookable hours, which you can sign up for.

  • We believe giving yourself the time to unhurriedly cook a meal for yourself and loved ones is true luxury. While we don’t have a restaurant onsite, we do have a “provisions store” with basic shelf- and freezer-stable goods like pasta and meat, and each cabin is equipped with a kitchen and grill / firepit (see accommodations page). For those looking for someone else to take on the cooking / cleaning, see recommended restaurants on our Offsite page.

  • Think of it like going to a well-stocked AirBNB. Mostly, you need to bring clothes and groceries; we provide much of the rest. Specifically, we provide towels, all cooking / dining implements, coffee, tea, salt, pepper, and olive oil.

  • Yes! Each refrigerator is stocked with organic coffee.

  • Feel free to request one, and we’ll do our best to accommodate! No guarantees, but we encourage you to ask.

  • Our sauna is available to all guests and can be booked online. You can book a private 50-minute session, or join "community hours” daily from 6-9pm. The sauna is centrally located in the bathhouse, on the left side of the building. There is a changing room, and bathrooms in the building for post-sauna showering. Cold plunge coming soon!

  • Bring a towel from your room. Clothing (swimwear or underwear) is required for community hours, and optional for private sessions.

  • Our Field Cabins all have full ensuite bathrooms with flush toilets and showers. Our accessible Field Cabin includes an accessible bathroom, including shower w/seat. Forest Cabin guests use the shared bathhouse, centrally located, about a 300ft walk from the furthest away Forest Cabin.

  • The primary difference is the bathroom situation. Field Cabins (including the accessible model) have ensuite full baths and are larger; Forest Cabins share a bathhouse and area more intimately scaled. All cabin details can be viewed on the Cabins page.

  • Yes; see Field Cabin Accessible on our Accommodations page.

  • While we encourage unplugging, all cabins are equipped with power and high-speed Wi-Fi. However, you won’t find TVs. Save binge-watching for your next staycation!

  • You will receive check-in instructions via email on the day of your stay, including the passcode to your door and your cabin number. Punch in your code when you arrive, and you’re in!

  • To respect the local wildlife and your fellow guests, we observe quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Sound travels differently in the woods—we appreciate your help in keeping it serene.

  • Any time you see some! Wild Maine Blueberry season is typically mid-July – mid-August.
