About this property

1850s Farm House - Minutes from Acadia, Lamoine Beach, and Lamoine State Park

This newly renovated mid 1800s New England farmhouse is a mere 5 minute walk to the Jordan River shoreline, or a 5 minute drive to the local beach, which offers swimming, shoreline walks, sunbathing, and picnic area On the way to the beach is Lamoine State Park, offering picnic areas, boat access, a nice playground plus, fishing.
The property is a scenic 15 minute drive to Mount Desert Island and a 25 minute drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

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

Our farmhouse boarders the Jordan River, a tidal body of water. Looking for a piece of Maine you may not see elsewhere? In the tidal rivers it's not unusual to spot clamers or wormers digging for their respective finds to make a living during low tide. There is also a picnic table available near the water for your enjoyment.
The farmhouse is 10 minutes from Ellsworth which offers boutique shopping amid its old New England brick buildings, grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants.

Our Downeast area is known as a great antiquing destination, as there are many antique shops and country estate sales. Bargain hunters are sure to make a unique 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!

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.

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.

Comfy, Convenient, Caring Owner

Family of 6, 2 grandparents, 2 grandchildren, 2 parents. We totally loved our stay at the Farmhouse! 3 full baths, modern kitchen, washer, dryer, and plenty of space were just what we needed. Easy to watch movies, play games, prepare and eat meals. Attentive and caring owner answered any questions we had. Convenient location to Bangor, Ellsworth, MDI, yet not on a busy highway. We loved it!

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.

Beautiful home--A perfect getaway

Beautiful home--a perfect getaway for anyone interested in Acadia and Bar Harbor without the crowds of Bar Harbor. I've had the pleasure of watching the house progress from an antique farmhouse to a beautiful, charming, cozy home. The owners might have kept the old New England farmhouse look, but they have done an incredible job of updating this home. The updates (including colors) throughout the house provide the rustic, relaxing feel of Maine with the vibe, pep, and necessities of a modern home. The owners have done a fabulous job keeping the rustic feel while allowing for modern amenities. The brand new kitchen, spacious living room, and relaxing sunroom provide the comfort and quality of a home away from home. The bedrooms provide further relaxation with a different color scheme for each room. This house is the perfect getaway for anyone interested in Acadia and Bar Harbor, without the chaos and prices of Mount Desert Island.

a wonderful stay

After a long trip and many hotels it was a pleasure to arrive at the farmhouse with all its extra room. The owner had the bedroom prepared for us and was very helpful in providing information about the area and restaurants. He gave us good information on Acadia National Park & we made several trips to the beautiful park. We also had Lamoine Beach & State Park within 5 minutes of the house. We enjoyed the area and found Finns, Governors and Jaspers to have excellent food. We went to the local airport which was about 10 minutes away & took a plane tour of Acadia & the surrounding area. The spacious home could have easily accomodated three more couples or families with children. The farmhouse was rustic in design but had all the modern amenities while still holding its charm & comfort. Our dog especially enjoyed the large yard and we loved the quiet neighborhood. We rate it five stars. *****

The PERFECT house for our large family

We had a wonderful week at the farmhouse. What a comfortable house, full of charm and nooks and crannies! Our six grown children were with us, and fit very comfortably into the house while feeling as if they had their own space. The doors between the rooms really helped to keep noise down and give privacy. For instance, the upstairs queen bedroom is open, at the end of an open staircase from the first floor. With doors on the first floor bedrooms and on the dining area, very little noise got upstairs. Three good size bathrooms, 2 with tubs, meant no lines, no wait! Also, as other reviewers noted, a well-stocked newish kitchen with a nice gas stove. Washer and dryer are right in the kitchen, another nice feature. Also, we appreciated Lamoine, too. We spent much of our time in Acadia, and it is a bit of a drive, but it is also nice to leave the hustle and bustle of the Park and Bar Harbor. Anything lacking? No (well, maybe an apron for the chief cook and bottle washer...). Would we rent this house again? In a heartbeat!

Very cute house and fun for the kids!

We enjoyed staying at the farmhouse! It was plenty big for our family of four and my parents! My parents were on the first floor while my husband and I, along with our kids took the second floor bedrooms. We are tall so the ceilings being slanted was a challenge but not too big of a deal, there were plenty of towels and linens and everything was clean! We went to the Lamoine beach a couple of times during our week long stay, which was free, but no facilities, but it was great to swim and explore the beach for evidence of sea life. We also visited bar harbor a couple of times as well, great restaurants, we liked Blaze and Finback! And the ice cream was awesome too! The farmhouse was comfortable and the kids even had their own place to play in the sun room, we played music there and barbecued and even made a fire at nighttime and ate s’mores! We brought the kiddos bikes but never really used them, the street was on the busier side, but we kept busy anyways so we didn’t notice too much! We also tried out deep sea fishing while we visited in Bar Harbor, that was fun and it was for a few hours where they taught us how to fish and they supplied all of the necessary gear, really nice couple who ran the excursion, Esther and Jim! The kitchen was nice and we made a lot of meals there, they had pretty much everything we needed! Overall, it was a great stay and the owner was super nice and helpful before we rented! Thanks Ray! Your home was very charming! We had fun!

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.

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.
