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 a walking experience. Guests are welcome to unload near their cabins, but are then expected to park in our lot by the entry. For guests with a lot of gear, we are happy to provide gear carts; for those with mobility challenges, our staff are generally on-call 7am - 9pm to give a ride in one of our golf carts.
-
As you drive up the hill, you’ll see a large parking area on your right. Feel free to drive past the parking area to your cabin (or the head of the path leading to your cabin) for unloading. Cabins are numbered Forest 1-12 and Field 1-12, with 1 being closest to parking, and 12 being furthest. We ask that guests always park in the parking area once uploaded.
EV chargers are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis; all we ask is that when your car is charged, you kindly vacate the spot so others can use it.
-
Yes; we have two fire pit areas open to guest use on a first-come, first-served basis. One is centrally located between Field cabins 5 and 6, and the other is down by the tall spruce trees, with a path starting just below the firewood shed. Each fire pit area includes fire pits, Adirondack chairs, and two grills.
-
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” (opening late August 2026) 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 freezer is stocked with ground coffee for the pour over kit.
-
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 as part of the booking process for guests who book direct, or by writing us on text or email. You can book a private 50-minute session on the hour from 7am to 8pm. Sessions should be booked minimum 1hr prior to session start time to allow the sauna time to heat up. The sauna is centrally located in the bathhouse, second door on the left. There is a changing room, and bathrooms in the building for post-sauna showering. We hope to add a cold plunge pool in the future!
-
Bring a towel from your room; towels are not provided at the sauna. We recommend simply wearing a bathing suit. For purists: note that the sauna features a large window facing into a section of woods with no path, so privacy is good, but not 100% guaranteed!
-
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.
-
There are three cabin types: Field Cabin, Forest Cabin, and Accessible Field Cabin. All three cabin types feature a contemporary design aesthetic and make use of natural materials. 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. See our Cabins page for more.
-
Yes; our Accessible Field Cabin features an accessible parking spot, access ramp, bathroom, and kitchen.
-
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!

Absolutely. Maine weather is unpredictable. Each cabin features high-efficiency heating for chilly coastal nights and cooling for the peak of summer.
-
Yes; we have two level 2 chargers onsite! These are free and available for use a first-come, first-served basis; all we ask is that when your car is charged, you kindly vacate the spot so others can use it.

You will receive check-in instructions via text on the morning of your stay around 11am, including the passcode to your door, cabin number, and wifi info. Punch in your code when you arrive, and you’re in!
-
Yes! But, only dogs, as cat hair is incredibly difficult to clean, and some people are allergic. Please make sure to specify the number of pets you are bringing (maximum of 2 per cabin).
-
To respect the local wildlife and your fellow guests, we observe quiet hours from 9pm to 7am. Sound travels differently in the wood and fields—we appreciate your help in keeping it serene.
