Escape and Engage at Bray Barn Farm
About this cottage rental
Spacious, quiet carriage house in the Western Maine foothills nestled between farmhouse and barn. 15 acres of meadows and woods. Sleeps five. 4 miles north of Farmington towards Sugarloaf. Great for time with family and friends, vacations and solitude. We gladly accept all persons 21 and older. We welcome children and infants. Fun, roomy design with a Maine woods spirit. Sleeps 5. 2 bedrooms, one on first floor and one in the loft. Sofa Sleeper in common area. Porch and Deck. Very cool woodstove. Fire pit in the meadow and a cozy hammock hidden between a couple of spruce trees. While good neighbors are close by, they are not visible; we are bordered by woods on all sides. Downtown Farmington is great--University of Maine Farmington, good restaurants, a great independent bookstore and Reny's (a Maine tradition!). We are about 45 minutes from great hiking trails—Appalachian, Mount Blue, Tumbledown. Kingfield is 25 minutes, Sugarloaf area about 35 to 40 minutes. Rangeley Lake area about 45 minutes.

We just loved Bill and Victoria. They were right there to greet us and show us around the farm. The carriage house is darling. It’s immaculate and charming and we love the thought they put into the decor. The little kitchen area has the most adorable stove and sink and was stocked with everything from fresh eggs and english muffins to yogurt, milk and oj (some of which were in the mini fridge). The wood stove is really unique and makes the loft all warm and cozy. If you’re an animal lover you will LOVE the donkeys and goats…oh my goodness! I fell in love with them at first sight! When we booked Bray Barn Farms a few months earlier, we had no idea how much we needed this getaway. It was so peaceful and actually healing for a couple of outside stressors we were working through. We had such a beautiful time and didn’t want to leave! Bill & Victoria’s place is magical and we will definitely be back!

An oasis in the woods
My partner and roommate and I spent 9 days in this peaceful spot. The pictures do not do it justice. Bill and Victoria are wonderful hosts. Loved the recommendations they shared. Loved hiking Mt. Blue, the drive-in movie theatre and ice cream spot in town, cooking and grilling, sitting in the many beautiful spots on the property, the farm animals and whimsical wandering path!

I cannot say enough about this sweet little place!! We absolutely loved our stay and still wish we were there! Victoria and Bill are some of the most kindest souls we have met! The fresh eggs were delicious, the donkeys and baby goats are the cutest ever!! We loved hearing all of the animals in the morning, as well as the chickens ! My son loved the meandering path and feeding the animals! The carriage house is so clean and beautiful!! See for yourself you will not regret it!We hope to return in the fall! Thank you for the lovely time!

We could not have asked for a more beautiful place to spend the night. The hosts are lovely and their property is a not-so-little slice of Maine heaven in the woods. We loved the chickens and the donkeys, and we also loved the Carriage Barn itself, with it's big windows, cosy fireplace and everything you could wish for laid on. We were just sad that we were only there for a night and will definitely be booking again. Thank you Victoria and Bill for such a lovely and memorable weekend!

Bill and Victoria were wonderful hosts; they checked in with us periodically to make sure we were doing ok.

Impeccably decorated, spacious. Delightful hosts, fun animals, beautiful setting.
Our stay at the carriage house was delightful. My husband and I were charmed by the lovely hosts, impeccably designed and decorated carriage house, and idyllic property. My three children (ages 1.5 yrs - 7 yrs) were tickled by the animals and the sleeping loft. We all enjoyed the fresh eggs very very much! Many thanks to our hosts.
