Purposely Lost Means Living The Maine Life With A Side Of Whimsy
These days, with remote working and the constant creep of work into our personal lives, the peace and relaxation of vacation time is often an elusive memory. We can’t do much about the direction our work culture as a whole is going, but we can escape the demands of our fast-paced professional lives and experience some time “the way life should be.”
Maine has been vacationland to generations of New Englanders, Americans, and the world for a reason: life is different here. Enjoy the slower pace that long winters and gentle summers have nurtured for generations. Here you can visit warm beaches gently cooled by ocean breezes, the tail end of the Appalachian trail, deep forests, and clean waters.

Purposely Lost is a bold reflection of these very Maine values and opportunities. It is a synthesis of the best elements of Maine’s lodgings. It’s one part cabin in the woods, one part the conveniences of a modern hotel, one part the whimsical joy of treehouses, one part showcase for environmentally sustainable housing, and one part the clean aesthetics of the modern urban designs of Portland. The result of this careful mixture is a taste of “the Maine Life,” a relaxing experience that you won’t forget and you won’t be able to stop talking about upon your return from these unique hobbit homes and treehouses in Maine.
Hobbit Homes and Treehouses in Maine Built For Sustainability & Luxury
At the heart of Purposely Lost is a commitment to environmental friendliness and sustainability. From the ground up, every element has been carefully considered for our structures and our grounds. We’ve developed just 3% of our acreage, minimizing our impact and maximizing the wildlife habitat available, creating a sanctuary for the many birds and mammals who were here before us. We don’t waste water on lawns. we don’t cut down trees we don’t have to, and when we do cut down trees, we use them locally.

Our rentable treehouses in Maine have double-wall insulation that keeps out the humid heat of summer and the dry cold of winter. With the addition of ultra-efficient heat pumps that produce four times more cooling and heating than alternatives, your comfort requires only the barest energy to assure. All of our appliances are powered electrically, and that electricity comes from solar panels, not burning coal or other dirty energy sources. We even built our solar panels off-site in an already-cleared area to minimize the impact on our local ecosystem.
Even with all this efficiency and ecological consideration, our treehouses are luxurious. With a focus on experiences over distractions, each treehouse has a small, but complete kitchen, a hot tub, a high-tech energy-efficient projector system for entertainment, and wifi-should you want to stay connected to the world or stream a movie. This is the perfect home base for planning your day out in the world, enjoying nature, the great food scene, or our glorious Maine beaches.
