Want to make your next hike a little more creative? Check out these Fairy Houses that we stumbled on while vacationing in Maine. These houses are made with no glue, tape or extra materials. Everything is from materials in the woods right where they are built. Talk about Green Homes!

Create Fairy Houses that look so natural they are almost hidden
Be advised the Fairy House will periodically be inspected by the head fairy code enforcement officer
No permit or setback required
Maximum footprint is 1 sq. ft.

Remember Fairies do not like to disturb nature.

Oh... to cute! I may do this with the mini's in my life. It looks like a lot of creative thinking.
I have a book about these fairy houses in Maine. We want to go on a trip to see them. Beautiful, thanks!
Adorable - can I ask WHERE in Maine? I'd love to see them if they aren't too far from our usual Maine destination.
love this, great idea for a class trip
Phyl,
I have to get back to you on the exact location. I think my husband will know once I bring out the map.
Thanks - we're heading to Kennebunkport in mid-July, but if the fairy houses are northern Maine, I'll have trouble convincing my husband it's worth a road trip. :-)
It is on Harpswell Rd. The trail is a cliff walk that starts behind their townhall. It's a good hike. We were staying on Baileys Island that's how we found it.
