Just an hour west of Portland, this bright and charming solar cabin offers a dreamy Maine escape.

If you close your eyes and imagine the ultimate modern storybook one-room A-frame cabin in the woods to unplug, this property in southwest Maine would have to be a top contender. It’s colorful on the outside, but calm and neutral on the inside. It’s solar-powered, but still has lights and a charging area. It’s one room, but there’s a sleeping loft with skylight views of the stars. The bathroom is outside, but it has a shower, compost toilet, and sink. It’s on ten acres of wilderness, but the bustle of Portland is just over an hour away. I love the thought of a stripped-down nature getaway wrapped in a clean environment with a working shower and toilet, so it’s easy to see why I find this cabin is utterly irresistible. Have a look and see if you agree!
Is this your idea of the perfect tiny Maine cabin?
