About this property

This is a newly renovated mid 1800s New England farmhouse.
It is a mere 5 min. drive/20 min. bike ride to the local beach, which offers a great kayak launch, beautiful walk, or sunbathing/ swimming; and Lamoine State Park, which offers picnic areas, boat access, and pier fishing.
The property is a scenic 15 min. drive from Mount Desert Island and a 25 min. drive from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

The farm house is located in a quiet neighborhood that gives you the old New England charm of quiet days and easy growing up.

It's also just a 10 min. drive from Ellsworth which offers boutique shopping amid its old New England brick buildings, grocery shopping, and rainy day entertainment.

The Downeast area is still a great antiquing destination.
With tons of antique shops, yard sales, and country estate sales, the bargain hunter is sure to make a find.

Lovely Farmhouse accommodations!

The Farmhouse advertised in this listing lived up to its charm and comfort for our stay. It was the perfect place for us to explore Acadia National Park and Mt. Desert Island without the intense crowds and cost in Bar Harbor itself. We would return to this place in a heartbeat!

Acadia/ Bar Harbor Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy farmhouse in the country. Our host, Ray, told us the rich history of the house which made it even more special. The beds were very comfortable, and the house was very clean! It was a perfect place for our family to gather. The nearby town of Ellsworth offered plenty of restaurants, and the 30 minute drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia was beautiful!!

Lovely Farm house

The house is very charming and comfortable especially the beds! We slept very well! It's not too far from all the places we wanted to visit (Bar Harbor & Acadia State Park). The area is quiet and relaxing and the host, Ray, is very nice and easy to communicate with. The water pressure took a bit to fully kick in but that's all. Beautiful place to stay. Loved the house!

Quiet farmhouse close to Acadia

We spent a week in this house while visiting Acadia at peak season. We were 5 adults and 1 dog. The house is a quirky old farm house that was clean and inviting upon arrival. Communication with host worked well and the kitchen was well equipped. Our favorite part was being away from the crowds inside desert island and the close proximity to Lamoine beach - we ended up going there every morning and every night.

Weekend in Lamoine

Great location half-way between Winter Harbor and Bar Harbor. The house is nicely decorated, spacious, very clean and had everything we needed. It's located in a very pretty, quiet neighborhood. The sun room was perfect to set up a puzzle table. We had a camp fire one nit in the fire pit. We would definitely love to stay there again.

Unique house

The house is as described, old and with lots of character. Kitchen is completely updated and stocked with more cooking supplies than any other house we have rented. The syn room always had a nice breeze. The girls hung out in there while the guys took over the living room. Would have liked another comfy chair in the sunroom, but you can't have everything. Great having a washer and dryer to use. Just far enough away from Acadia to get out of the crowds and easy to go to town for supplies.

Great stay!

My family and I stayed on the property for a week while visiting Arcadia National Park. We had adults, teens, and children all with us. The house was clean and lovely! We enjoyed the location. Any communication with the owners was prompt and we had no problems. The house is a beautiful old farmhouse. It was clean and cozy. It was nice to come home from long days exploring and hiking to the home. Thank you for opening up your home to us! We would highly recommend.

Smart Option for Acadia NP

Really enjoyed the property and proximity to the park. A more affordable alternative, plenty of space for 2 families on a lovely street. A farmhouse that accommodated our two families for the week. Owner is accessible (lives down the street) and very nice.

June Family Trip

We loved staying in the farmhouse and appreciated its charming character. The location was perfect! Just close enough to venture into Acadia and relax among the outskirts. The lupine field was gorgeous and we enjoyed watching the fireflies dance above it in the evenings. The neighbors were very friendly and we would recommend this stay for anyone who appreciates the simple things in life!

Great New England experience

We had a great stay. The hosts are very accommodating with great communication. A small check-in snafu was remedied quickly and pleasantly. Conveniently located to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and Ellsworth. There is a small airport nearby so an occasional plane will fly over kind of low, but all we saw were small single prop planes, no jumbo jets. The few planes did not bother us at all. Other than the occasional plane, the area was quiet and low key , which we prefer. The house was clean and most of the house is well maintained. The yard is well maintained as well with a nice outdoor sitting area and a small vegetable garden. If we area ever in the area again, we will look into staying here, hopefully a longer stay next time. We would certainly recommend staying here to others.

Nice house in a quiet neighborhood

This is an old farmhouse with rather old furniture, but it was sparkling clean and, at least in the kitchen, the appliances were all quite modern. There were some little things that needed fixing, but the owner mostly takes good care of the house. The owner is very quick to respond, except for the one mishap we had when we had not been given instructions on how to obtain the key for the house, despite many messages on VRBO and attempts to call the listed number, but we were lucky that when we arrived at 11 pm, the owner finally picked up the phone and gave us directions along with his cell number. After that, he went out of his way to help when we had any issues. The house is in a quiet residential neighborhood, but a bit too far from anywhere you'd want to be. And also a warning that the upstairs bedrooms are only suitable for children, because the ceiling is slanted and very low. Overall, this was a good stay, so thank you, Ray.

Very Comfortable Faemhouse

Everything with our stay here went perfectly. It started well because we arrived after dark but the owner, Ray, had stopped by before we arrived and turned on some lights which made it feel very welcoming. The accommodations were exactly as advertised. There was plenty of space, a fully stocked kitchen and a quirky farmhouse upstairs that we loved. It reminded me of my grandparents' farmhouse that I loved when I was young. We would glafdly stay here again.

Farmhouse Fun

This farmhouse works well for a family visit to Acadia, especially if you have pets. The house is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. Just note that the stairs to the bedroom with the twin beds are rustic and could be difficult for some folks to negotiate.

Beautiful, spacious home.

Our family of five and two dogs loved staying in this home. There was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked w/ everything we needed for nightly lobster boils and all our other meals. The house gets a lovely breeze, is very clean and beautifully decorated. My kids loved exploring all the nooks. Communication with Ray was effortless, he was very helpful steering us around the area. We enjoyed stargazing each night around the fire pit. Short drive to stores, ice cream, Acadia and Lamoine beach. We would love to come for a visit again. Thank you so much Ray!

Summer vacation

The farmhouse in Lamoine was everything as advertised. My sister and husband met us there from Michigan, we drove up from Boston. We both had our dogs. Everyone had a great time! Very close to Bar Harbor and Acadia . The house was even bigger then expected. Ray was always available ( we didn’t have gas in the grill, called Ray, brought us a new tank in 10 min. ) also gave good recommendations ! Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Ray Stephens

My wife and I bought this farmhouse because we saw the potential it had and wanted to remodel it to to make it a space we would enjoy. It is a wonderful old house with lots of history. It took way too long to remodel...8 years. I found I just didn't have the time to put into it that I thought. It was a wonderful project and we enjoyed the entire process. As we remodeled it, we wanted to do it in a way that we'd be very happy and comfortable to live there ourselves. We've succeeded in doing that. The house has all new plumbing, heating, electrical, windows, roof, kitchen, 2 new bathrooms. The floors were sanded to bring out the original beauty of the wood.

Why they chose this property

Since we live just down the road, we felt this property made sense to purchase. We knew the previous owner and wanted to continue to care and appreciate the house as he did. His family had owned it for 2 generations, and their family added the dustpan dormer on the front of the house to enlarge the upstairs bedroom. They loved the house and it has been a wonderful house to remodel.

What makes this property unique

Off the kitchen there is a nice shed or mud room, if the weather is inclement, it is a place to take off wet clothes or muddy shoes and boots. The farmhouse also has a unique white cast-iron farmhouse sink, large with cast-iron sideboards on either side of the sink. There are many nooks and crannies that are exciting and unusual for the kids to explore. It truly is one-of-a-kind.
