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.

We spent two nights at the Hemlock Haven dome on 1BSI with our dog and can’t wait to return! If you want an experience that has all the connection to nature and peacefulness of camping but want to sleep in a real bed and not have to haul a ton of gear with you, this is the place for you. Serene panoramic views of forest and lake from the clear side of the dome - a private dock - fresh clean bedding and towels - every necessary thing plus some extras thoughtfully supplied - and the best, most thorough communication I’ve ever experienced from an Airbnb host. This is a really unique, peaceful, fun place to stay. Highly recommended!!
I'd give Kent and his island 6 stars if they would let me! We stayed for 2 unforgettable days in the igloo/bubble cap site. I've never seen a site that had more accommodations, complete with firewood, fire pit, BBQ, utensils, and batteries, this place was the perfect harmony of nature but not at the point where it would be called "roughing it". Not to mention he and his wife were super friendly! We're already planning on returning in the spring to try one of his other sites on the island.
This was an amazing trip and confirmation of the environment and vibe of what we want for our wedding
Can’t say enough good things about Kent, Heather, and this beautiful island!<br/>The hosts were so friendly and they (and their crew!) truly do make sure you have everything possible for a relaxing getaway. The island is absolutely gorgeous!! My husband and I are generally more “heavy duty” campers so having a camping experience with almost no effort made our little getaway feel like twice the vacation. We’re already daydreaming about our next island getaway!
Easily the most beautiful and simple trip like this I’ve taken so far. Kent and his crew had everything ready and anything we needed they had to us within hours! They were super friendly and created such a wonderful getaway! Can’t wait to go back!!
So peaceful and relaxing. I suggest laying on the dock at night to view the stars it's absolutely beautiful. Kent is amazing host and would definitely recommend staying on his island.
Nice and relaxing few days
This was a fantastic stay filled with adventures and RnR. I'm planning on coming back!
Kent and his partner Heather are by far the warmest, most responsive and helpful hosts I’ve ever had. 1BSI is a very special and beautiful spot with lots of special little nooks and crannies. Highly recommend.
I was clear that I could not make it at all it said refund were available but he ignored me , Even for a new date ! Sad
