Casa Portal
August 16 - 20, 2026
83 Sullivan Road, Jackson Maine 04921 USA
Casa Portal is a 100-acre private retreat center tucked away on a sheep farm in Jackson, Maine, dedicated to slow living, community, and harmony with nature. Nestled among woodlands, streams, meadows, orchards, and sheep pastures, it offers space to reconnect through slowing down, simplicity, and silence. Here, the natural world sets the rhythm—inviting you to enjoy the sweetness of doing nothing. Cool off in the private swimming pond or sit with the flock of Navajo Churro sheep or wander along a woodland trail among the pine, birch, hemlock, maple, fir, beech, spruce and century-old heirloom apple orchard.
Accommodations include shared rooms in the “casa”, the heart of the farm, a welcoming 1840s farmhouse with a screened porch, library, sunroom, living room, and a dining area where an in-house chef serves daily farm-fresh meals. There is a newly renovated barn bunkhouse, woodland campsites, and private cabins nestled throughout the landscape, among transportive “portals”. All rooms are simple, comfortable, and thoughtfully furnished. Bedding and towels are provided for all guests. There is no air conditioning; fans are provided in every room. Bathrooms are private but shared in the guesthouse, located just outside the barn for barn guests, and private outhouses are provided for the cabins. Campers, cabin and bunk house dwellers can access the guesthouse bathrooms and various indoor spaces.
