We have two new treehouses available - search "Sanford Maine" to find The Cliff House or The Sky Frame on Airbnb. Enjoy your tiny home in the trees! Although only 350 square feet, this home has everything you need for a delightful stay. Cook dinner in a full kitchen with a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, and coffeemaker. You have dinnerware, silverware, water and wine glasses, cookware, and all the essential kitchen accessories. Both the loft and sleeping pod provide queen beds.
The space
Waking up in your treehouse, the first thing you feel is peace. No traffic, no sirens, no planes flying overhead. Only birdsong—the cry of a loon, the piping of a chickadee. Through the windows, you see only leaves, like green glass, filtering the early morning light. Below you, on the ground, a doe and her fawn pick their way down to the pond. They do not hurry, for there is nothing here to frighten them.
Downstairs in the kitchen, coffee is brewing. Your tablet is charging on the windowsill. You could check your email or social media, but for some reason you don’t want the world to intrude. Out on the deck, a warm mug cradled in your hands, you and your partner plan your morning. Perhaps you’ll paddle the kayak across Littlefield Pond while the mist still lies thick on its smooth surface. Or take a fishing pole down to your private dock to catch brook trout for breakfast. Or maybe just soak in the hot tub and listen to the forest awaken.
In the afternoon, you sit by the woodstove, engrossed in that book you’ve always meant to read. Your companions are playing a board game at the table, but mostly laughing and talking—about everything and nothing. You look up from your book and smile. For a moment you think about your life back home and ask yourself, “Why do we own so much stuff What would our lives be like if we lived more like this, with fewer—but lovelier—things ”
It was questions like this that inspired three families—the Avallones from Colorado, the Parekhs from California, and the Valcourts from nearby Portland—to create Littlefield Retreat. More than a vacation experience, Littlefield retreat is an exploration of what sustainable travel—and living in general—might look like. It offers guests an opportunity to live for a few days with a smaller footprint but without sacrificing beauty or comfort.
We call it eco-luxury. You can see the exquisite workmanship and attention to detail from the instant you climb the spiral stairs and open the door to your tiny home amidst the trees. The eco-friendly elements are less visible but just as essential to the Littlefield vision: many recycled and reclaimed materials were used in the construction of your treehouse. It is also super-insulated, with ultra-efficient heating and hot water. At present, the energy that powers this tiny home is wind sourced, with plans for summer 2020 to install a 150-panel solar array on the property, making Littlefield retreat’s five boutique tiny homes entirely carbon neutral. Even the carbon from your commute from Portland or Boston has been offset for you.
Come experience a wonderful—and sustainable—kind of getaway at Littlefield retreat.

My friends and I spent the night in the Canopy Tree House for my friends birthday. There were 3 of us- one from Canada, one from California, and one from England! We were looking for a place with a hot tub to relax and enjoy ourselves. This was the perfect place. So unique and fun. It looked as though much of the home was taken from the surrounding property. The hot tub was great. We enjoyed the bluetooth speakers built in into the hot tub. The water was a bit cloudy. The downstairs bedroom had an awesome skylight where we could see the stars at night! The house did sway a little bit, but it didn’t bother us at all. It added to the adventure. We could not figure out how to turn off the outside lights at night, so bring a eye mask. There was a projector and screen provided, but we could not figure it out. The proper cables were provided. However the source would not connect to the iPhone. We did not see a guide book or instruction manual. Though getting into the property and accessing the WiFi was well explained. Coffee and coffee maker were nicely available. There were only four towels, so bring hot tub towels. The shower was great. The kitchen supplies were very basic. I would not plan to cook a large meal there. Overall we fully enjoyed our stay and would recommend this location to others! We will be back, thank you so much for sharing your creative vision and home with us!!
