Cozy Underground Cottage at Purposely Lost Retreat

on October 16, 2023

Purposely Lost is a fantastic woodland retreat space in Sandford, Maine, where you can stay in one of three treehouses or 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, with moss and mud surrounding the doors and windows. But when you enter, it’s anything but dingy and dirty! Instead, the comfortable space has a full kitchen, a 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!
