Barn vacation rentals in Mid-Coast, Maine

We rented The Cape for my husband and I, plus our adult children and their families. This is a very home-like rental, surrounded by beautiful grounds and right on the river. It was exactly what we expected for an 1880’s east-coast home; it reminded me of my grandmother’s property. Melissa is a very enthusiastic and caring host. This is the perfect rental if you are looking for a charming old home with lots of character, privacy, nature, and active outdoor options.

Beautifully rustic, quiet and charming! We booked Penny’s place because we were looking for a rustic stay. The weather in September was ideal for this indoor/outdoor space. Fully stocked kitchen, and loads of space for dining and relaxing. We lucked out and didn’t have anyone else staying on property while we were, and I will say it’s a bit of a fishbowl, so if you’re looking for privacy, it’s not here. We had a superb time!

Just as advertised. Stayed here because I was taking a week long seminar about 10 mins away. Felt right at home. Nina and Ian were responsive and very detailed. Excellent house instructions

I can't say enough about this sweet cottage. This was my first airbnb experience and I absolutely loved it. Andrew is a very accomodating host. He was always available when I had a question. The cottage is in a perfect location to enjoy walks in nature or to stay in on cozy days to work on a puzzle or read. The cottage is welcoming, clean, well stocked with supplies and so comfortable. I truly didn't want to leave.

This is a great place to stay if you want a slice of life in the picturesque village of South Freeport, Maine. It's a very private location, and convenient for taking walks down to the water and around the village. The Airbnb itself is comfortable, quiet, and well appointed.

We really enjoyed our stay at Penny’s house! The barn is absolutely beautiful. Please be aware that this is not a private home, even though it’s listed as such. Penny is clear in the description that she lives on the ground floor, and the kitchen and living room are shared spaces. That being said, if that’s what you’re expecting, this is a charming stay and a great base point for exploring the area. Our dog had an absolute blast playing in the yard and we deeply appreciated Penny’s hospitality.

Alan is very welcoming and helpful. The lights and electronics are all very efficient and eco-friendly. And what an amazing bonus, to have top-class music fifty steps from our door! Gorgeous views of Cadillac Mountain, all lovely. Acadia is an hour away, Blue Hill Peninsula has lots going on, and Bucksport and Deer Isle are a short drive away. We will visit again. Thank you, Alan!

It's hard to overstate the special nature of this property. You're situated between two bodies of water, the grounds feel both wild and tended, the barn itself is voluminous and dripping in character and charm. If you are the kind of guest who can't do without a microwave and a TV and a stainless fridge, this is not your property. If, like us, you find the lack of a few things an utterly refreshing invitation for a mind and habit reset, and if, like us, you know that hosts who become the best kind of neighbors from the moment you step into their circle can lend you anything not in the kitchen drawers, then do what we did and book this property, cook and serve lobsters in any of the multiple copper pots (as your hosts will encourage you to do), pick a peach off the tree, kayak and swim off the dock, picnic by the water, sit out under the stars.

Nicole’s house had everything we needed for our month-long stay. The kitchen was well equipped, the house is comfortable, and we loved the screened in porch and large backyard. It’s close very close to barred island and Sylvester cove, a favorite spot for our family. Nicole is very friendly, communicative, and totally on top of anything that needed her attention.

their place was very nice and peaceful. beautiful outside space and plenty of room inside for two people. felt very comfortable and safe. would stay again!

Our stay was perfect. It was hard to leave because it was such a nice, comfortable place. The beach was only a 5-10 minute walk. The area was quiet during our stay in October. The hosts were communicated clearly, were responsive, and provided so many awesome local recommendations and firewood that we used when we decided to come back to the barn early. I’m sure you will love your stay here. We sure did, and we hope to be back soon!

We had a wonderful February break with our kids at Jay’s barn! The space was amazing and perfect for our family. Our kids loved the bunk beds and that they had their own bathroom. The big bathtub in the main bedroom is awesome! The kitchen and living room upstairs was so cozy and had everything we needed. Restaurants and cafes were close by, many you can walk to and North Conway is a quick drive for shopping. We enjoyed hiking, snowboarding and tubing at Cranmore, and went to Nestlenook which was suggested by another reviewer - it was a very cool place. We hope to stay again soon!

Beautiful location, great space, excellent host. The restaurant at the golf course is delicious! Apartment is perfect for larger groups or family gatherings. My only suggestion would be a king bed but otherwise it was amazingly welcoming.

The floor was made of wood, you couldn't make noise after 7 at night, everything was closed after 7 at night, the floor smelled bad, you couldn't walk barefoot because you would scratch the floor because the wood was old.

This place was medicine for me ! So much more than described and the pictures don’t begin to tell the story of the peace, beauty, salt of the earth feeling of this gem. The apple orchard outside your door is magic in itself (with a lot of hard work reflected )…. The rental space is lovely; spacious , peaceful , comfortable in every way and , well, pure charm! There’s a serene view out every window . Emily and Brien were wonderful hosts , responsive and accommodating in every way . These are people you just want to know ! Hope is the name of the town and that says it all for me . This whole area is a sanctuary with the bustle of gorgeous Camden (and much more) in easy reach, but staying here is an opportunity for personal growth and reflection in an amazing space. It exudes light and love and prompts an inward journey. Whatever you may be healing from , take HOPE right here . I will look forward to returning to ALL , this wonderful place has to offer .

One of the most beautiful spaces I’ve stayed in. Every top-quality amenity you could imagine provided. Totally enjoyable time thanks to Heidi!

Caroline and David’s cabin is an amazing getaway. The architectural and interior design concepts found here make this cabin really stand out. They have thought of everything, inside and out, to make your stay comfortable, fun, relaxing and memorable. We loved snowshoeing around the property and discovering sculptures and animal tracks in the snow. The location is private, yet an easy drive to neighboring towns where you will find great restaurants and activities to keep you engaged for days on end. We would love to return in the Summer to be able to enjoy the outdoor fire pit. Thank you Caroline and David for allowing us to reap the benefits of all the hard work and creativity you have put into this cabin!

It was a great location to explore both Acadia National Park and Camden. Easy to get to grocery stores to get supplies to make breakfast in the fully appointed kitchen. Starting my day with a cup of coffee overlooking the beautiful meadow was just what I needed to begin a vacation day off right.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Flanagan Farm. Our kids loved exploring every nook and cranny of the barn connected to the house, and even created a special "kids club" in the upstairs area. The kitchen had everything we needed and we ended up making a beautiful dinner one night with fresh produce from the Portland Farmers Market (on Saturdays). Mike was very helpful and responded quickly to all of our questions. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here!

Michelle & Justin were absolutely amazing hosts! We enjoyed our stay at their beautiful location and were grateful for their hospitality. Would definitely recommend as it's one of my most favorite Airbnbs ever!

The barn is a really special place on a really amazing island. There are so many hidden gem areas on this island. It’s a true place to get away, explore and have some time in a secluded place, but still close to some amazing things. I was at the barn for 4 nights. Went to Acadia and bar harbor one day and hunkered down the other 2 as it was raining. The places to explore on the island are beautiful, even in the rain and allowed me to have some time away from reality. Highly recommend staying in the cranberry isles…especially at Judi/Chong’s place.

We had a wonderful stay at Eric’s place. This house is filled with beautiful eclectic artwork and antiques. It really made the trip to stay at such a lovely property. I’ve been coming to Maine for years and this was our second time staying mid-coast. I thought it was a great location close to several other towns. Great recommendations by Eric too. Thank you !

All the previous reviews indicated we would love this location, the setting, the caring of the host....we were inspired to join Airbnb to just be able to stay here!!! The beauty of the surroundings is remarkable and we admire the care taken to keep it in its refined natural state. We are so thankful we took the description and reviews to heart! We now have another great Maine memory!

Exactly as described! Very responsive and flexible owners. Many recommendations for nearby restaurants and activities. Everything was exactly like the pictures and description. Would stay here again!
