Hammock Haven is tuned to Nature’s soundtrack — loons calling at dusk, water lapping beneath the dock, wind moving through the trees, and the occasional splash from someone giving in to the lake. From your island dome, you’ll fall asleep to these rhythms and wake as light skims across Annabessacook Lake. Days unfold to a steady beat: cooking simple meals, drifting in hammocks just above the water, paddling the shoreline, and wandering the wooded trails of our 14-acre island. No headphones required.

I had such an amazing time! Can’t wait to return. Thank you Kent and Heather!
This was the best vacation I ever had. David and I enjoyed exploring the island as it’s very beautiful and peaceful. Kent and Heather was absolutely amazing and very responsive with every need. We want to return and stay at all locations on the island some day. Thank you for everything!
The location was exactly as described. The host was fantastic. Lots of beauty - lots of privacy. Everything needed for a glamping experience. Gorgeous sunrise and sunset. I was the first to use the wood fired Sauna and would highly recommend it to anyone. Just show up with your clothes, your food, your dog, and be ready to relax, unplug and unwind!
We loved our trip out on the island. Kent was so helpful with making our stay comfortable and accommodating our travel delays. We are looking forward to returning in the future! <br/>Highly recommend for anyone looking to get away and enjoy nature!
This island was amazing experience with se amazing people. Being able to partake in Chef Jesse's culinary experience was a once in a lifetime chance. We will be back next weekend.
The perfect spot for a relaxing weekend! We loved to canoe with our pup, hammy hang (hammocks), and enjoy the beautiful lake. Sunsets are gorgeous here and it is so peaceful to be immersed in nature. Completely quiet at night! What a treat to hear loon calls. My doggie and I found a neat leaf fossil on the shoreline. We left it there & hopefully you find it too. The host, Kent, is incredibly kind, understanding, flexible and helpful. The sustainability aspect is very, very cool! We would recommend this unique island adventure to others!
Our stay at Hemlock Haven, was nothing short of magical. My fiancé, Jess, and I spent three unforgettable nights immersed in nature’s beauty. We loved the peaceful ambiance, especially the crisp fall air and foggy mornings by the lake. The hammocks were a favorite spot for us to relax, read, and craft. As two chefs, we had a blast cooking over the fire and experimenting with the smoky flavors. Each evening, we cozied up to the sounds of the night, even catching a haunting chorus from coyotes (or perhaps wolves?) on one special night. Kent was an amazing and gracious host, sharing stories about the island and lake, offering advice on how to make the most of the island's amenities, and bringing an unmatched sense of humor to brighten our days. Hemlock Haven was the perfect place for us to reconnect with ourselves and each other. We can’t wait to return!
We had a great time at 1BSI. Our stay felt incredibly private even with other people staying on the island. The stars were beautiful and our tent was comfortable.
What a unique find to kick off our anniversary week in Maine! I’m beyond happy to have stumbled upon the island and only wish I could have added a second night! <br/>All of the included glamping amenities were a treat - we enjoyed hiking the island, watching a sunset from our hammock and building a firepit for the evening! <br/>For all of my nature loving friends - this place is a must!
the island is beautiful, peaceful and private. the service was exceptionnel !
