Cozy Underground Cottage at Purposely Lost Retreat


Purposely Lost is an amazing woodland retreat space in Sandford, Maine where you can stay in one of three treehouses or one of two “Hobbit” houses. This underground home, pictured below, is a stunning blend of cozy and luxurious, with warm wood tones, leather accents, and stonework.

The home looks like a hill from the outside, with moss and mud surrounding the doors and windows. But when you enter, it’s anything but dingy and dirty! Instead, the comfortable space is outfitted with a full kitchen, a full bathroom (with a tiled shower stall!), and a gorgeous stone (electric) fireplace. Could you live in this space?

    A bit too modern for me, I’m more into the rustic look. They definitely lost me at electric fireplace. That said, it’s just right for lots of people that would enjoy a stay. Love the outdoor area!
