Venture out and explore all that Downeast Maine has to offer, or just relax in the peace and quiet of our quintessential New England seaside village.

Barn Owl was renovated and furnished with family and friends in mind. There is plenty of space to spread out in the 2,700 sq. ft. home, with enough privacy for quiet time as well. The original post & beam framing was exposed in the renovation process, and many hitches, hooks, and other hardware from the pre-Civil War carriage house days are still visible. It is full of historical interest and furnishings include many wonderful antiques.

Outside of the house, there is a large patio with a gas grill, fire pit, and lots of seating, a wonderful flower garden, a lawn that is perfect for croquet, and stone stairs leading to our wooded lot.

If you have any down time after your days exploring, there are abundant games, puzzles, toys, and books for all ages. If there are other things you might require (such as a lobster cooker), please ask, as we may be able to provide them. If you would like help designing your Downeast adventure, we will gladly work with you to plan excursions that fit you interests and abilities from hikes in the Acadia to ferryboat rides to explore the islands in our bays.
