Maine is beautiful. We all know that. That’s why so many of us count being outside as a favorite hobby. But what we also know is that the weather here doesn’t always cooperate with our outdoor desires. Winters can be harsh. Snow, rain, ice and cold can put a damper on the things we love to do most. But they don’t have to! This glamping experience will bring you close to the outdoors without actually having to be outside.
