About this farm stay rental

Situated in Cushing, this lovely farm stay for R 11,788 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. This Saltwater Farmhouse is a classic 150+ year-old clapboard house with attached barn on 80 private acres, including woods and a hay field gently sloping to the rocky Maine coast. Reminders of its days as a working farm can be found in the carefully maintained barn, including stalls and antique farm equipment. The farm equipment is displayed in the barn with safety fencing to protect small curious visitors. Bicycles of all sizes, ping-pong, croquet, badminton and lawns large enough for soccer and baseball games will provide plenty of 'at home' activities. Cooking out can be on the deck or a short walk to grill on the rocks. Located on St. George Peninsula between the fishing villages of Tenants Harbor and Pt.Clyde, you are only a short distance from popular restaurants, kayaking, fishing, sailing, hiking, beaches, movie theaters, antique & novelty shops, Marshall Point Lighthouse, which was seen in the movie, Forrest Gump, and ferries to nearby scenic islands, such as Monhegan and Vinalhaven. In nearby Rockland, the Farnsworth Museum with its collection of Wyeth paintings , is well worth a visit. The farmhouse has 6 bedrooms, so there's plenty of room for family & friends.The dining room seats 10-12 for fun family dinners. The living room's lovely natural light make this a cozy room for quiet reading by the fireplace. A forced air furnace keeps you warm on cool Maine evenings. The back deck is just the place to begin your day, as you look across the hayfield to the ocean. Watch the local lobstermen as they check out their traps, then head into town to pick up fresh lobster for dinner. The farmhouse can be your base as you explore the beautiful state of Maine, including Acadia Park to the north and Freeport with infamous L.L.Bean's to the south.

My family (mom, three kids, husband) stayed here for a week this past August and fell in love with this property. The farmhouse is exactly what it looks like online--it has been maintained over 100+ years without altering its character and charm--it has all modern conveniences you will need, but has been allowed to remain true to its original form. The property includes beautiful and extensive meadows, with a rocky shoreline (not for swimming, but there is a lovely swimming beach nearby). The house is roomy and provided each family member with their own space. There are many towns along the shoreline in this area that are not overly touristy and can be reached within a 45 minute-hour drive, and the proximity to Monhegan Island is a definite plus. We would definitely come stay here again.

If you’re considering renting the farmhouse you likely have the means to stay at many fine hotels and resorts. Those can be enjoyable. But, if you value relaxation, uniqueness, simpler times, history, and unspoiled nature, the farmhouse outshines any and likely all. Pretend it’s 1910 and a farmer, his wife and grown children are living at the house. The farm is actively providing for their sustenance. Investments have been made in apple trees, a garden and a hand pumped well. A horse drawn tractor is used daily to move large chunks of stone out of the field and unto the growing stone wall. Now, take “everything” away except the house, barn, and field. Clean everything up, repaint, but leave almost everything original. Non-muddled. Throw in some modern appliances. Put an old rowing dory in the barn and fill it with buoys. Put a basketball ball hoop in there as well for some fun. And then transport that whole scene to the here and now. That’s the farmhouse. Intriguing to just think on what all happened through the years. And yes, there’s magical paths through the hay field meandering down to the rocks and ocean. Sit there on the bench with the old tree just barely over your head and stare at the waves. Smell the mist. Who need reservations at Acadia? And then there’s all these neat fishing ports, restaurants, downtowns and unique sites to visit. Plus, there’s Wasses’s hotdogs up the road a ways! Read the other reviews to learn more. But this is why we enjoy staying at the Farm

We have just returned from another visit to our favorite getaway. Communicating with our host was a breeze. The farmhouse and barn are beautifully outfitted with comfortable furnishings, great appliances, kitchen staples, games, books, framed posters and other prints … and the flowers, apples, and, oh my, the wonderful fields leading down to the ocean. We love our time at the Lang’s farmhouse.

My husband and I enjoy places and spaces that provide elemental experiences - that enable us to feel close to the sights, sounds of nature, a minimum or complete absence of man-made sounds, a constant breeze and we got that and more at the Saltwater Farmhouse. We were grateful that the owners have not made the house fancy - that it felt welcoming, calm and serene. Every day we were treated to the beauty of goldenrod and Queen Anne's Lace dancing among eighty acres of grasses, the sounds of birds and crickets, the velvet air all around us and the immense privacy of being in an unpopulated area. Bathing in the outdoor shower was pure joy! The house is well-furnished, pleasing to the eye and comfortable. Great linens, pillows and plenty of dishes and kitchen appliances.

When you use vacation rental services, you get good at reading reviews. But, 34 five star reviews spanning years (and one four star)? I wondered and was anxious to see what the fuss was about! Now I know. Like others, we felt privileged to be there. The house is just right, just perfect. It's full of atmosphere and peace. How often do you find a print of a picture by a famous artist (NC Wyeth) on the kitchen wall, only to learn that it was of the back of the barn on the property? Though painted in 1939, the tree in the picture is still there and Maggie told me the cart in the picture is still in the barn. There is nothing stuffy or pretentious about this house, but I defy you to not try to picture it as yours once you've stayed. Our whole group sighed one big happy sigh after our first days' exploration and agreed we all hoped to come back every year. Astrid was wonderful when we had a few questions. Maggie's communication during the booking process was quick and clear. The area is breathtaking, gardens lush and well cared for (six gardeners descended one morning!), nice towels, cozy bed sheets and excellent mattresses. We are smitten. It was a wonderful week and a wonderful house. Thank you from all 9 of us, Maggie and Jim!
