Of all the ways to enjoy some time in Maine, getting closer to nature is one of our favorites. But you can do that without having to hit the trails or even set up a tent! Instead, consider spending a few nights in an unconventional home right on the banks of a river! This tiny house is off-the-grid, but still offers all the comforts you need for a cozy little stay in the woods. Plus, it’s within minutes of stores and restaurants!
Welcome to your own little slice of paradise in the middle of the Maine woods!

The Crooked River Tiny House can be found by making your way down a dirt road. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you see the fun sign tacked to a tree indicating that the house is just ahead. While you’re on these 3.5 acres, things will feel remote. But just a few miles from the house you’ll find a general store. And a few miles in the other direction is Norway. That makes this a great spot for folks who want to try some off-the-grid living, but still want creature comforts close by.

We love the little table with reclaimed chairs perfect for enjoying a meal, playing one of the many games in the house or just looking out onto the bird feeders.

When it’s close you can cozy up to the wood-burning stove. But be ready! Things get mighty toasty once this thing is roaring.

Don’t worry about bringing your own woods. There’s plenty here. And if you’ve never built a fire in a wood stove there are super clear instructions along with newspaper and fat wood to get you started.

We love that animals are allowed, too. They once even hosted a mini-pig! This is also a great place to celebrate something special. The owner has set up engagements and even Christmases here!
One of the things we love best about visiting this tiny house is the location! It’s just a few minutes from one of our favorite small towns in Maine. Norway is a charming Maine town that deserves a visit! Especially if you love breweries, pubs, and fun independent shops.
