Why is the Fall the perfect time to visit? Well first we are offering a rate special for October and November of $750, a $150 discount! But the more important reason is that Fall on the Midcoast of Maine is just spectacular. The colors begin to change; the weather is warm during the day and cool at night; the shops and attractions are far less busy; but the restaurants, antiques and art museums are still available. What could be better than a week at the Windjammer Barn with its view of the Bay, its 7 acres of meadow and in October some cider made from our very own apples? Come and enjoy, but reserve soon as inquiries are already coming in.
The Windjammer Barn is located in Lincolnville on US Route 1, one half mile south of Lincolnville Beach and the Isleboro Ferry Landing. The Barn, built in the 1970s, was constructed to capture the charm of old Maine structures and provide magnificent views of Penobscot Bay and the scenic island of Isleboro. This Barn unit features a great room with large windows facing the Bay and allowing views of the sunrises over the island. Located only five miles from Camden, the Barn offers easy access to all of the Mid-Coast area.
The central unit of the Windjammer Barn has many features—pine floors, large glass windows, book shelves, a wood stove and full heating system and new furniture. The barn has a great room fully equipped with TV/VCR/DVD, and plenty of books and board games. The kitchen offers all modern conveniences including Gaggenau convection oven, six burner stove top, dishwasher, microwave, coffeemaker, and full dish and tableware sets. The first floor also contains a full bath and a separate space for the washer and dryer.
The great room contains a kitchen table and chairs, comfortable chairs, and a sleep sofa, a day bed and several comfortable chairs. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, the larger with a queen size bed and the other with two twin size beds. There is a half bath on the upper floor. The Windjammer Barn sleeps 4 - 6 people comfortably. Bed and bath linen provided. Sorry, no smoking indoors
The outside provides seven acres of meadow, apple trees, a peach tree, chairs for relaxing and a pond often inhabited by ducks, Canadian geese and local water fowl and an ocassional moose. The outdoor area also has a charcoal grill, and picnic table. A walking path down to and around the pond may be used. A short walk away are four restaurants, the Lincolnville Beach, and shops with local Maine crafts.
If you prefer to drive, the towns of Camden, Rockport, Rockland and Belfast are all within 20 minutes. State Parks, hiking trails, chances to take a whale watch or a Puffin tour or simply to sit and view the harbors of what many consider the most beautiful portion of Maine’s coast are all available to you.
In the evening, cook a meal on the outdoor grill, or walk to the beach and walk along the rocky Maine shore, have a seafood meal at one of the many local restaurants. Next door is one of Maine’s many antique shops and art galleries dot the road from Camden to Belfast.
Maine's Mid-Coast is the kind of genuine Maine experience you've always imagined. It includes a wealth of picturesque harbors, rugged peninsulas and majestic lighthouses of breathtaking scenic beauty. Local whale, wildlife, and puffin tours offer the chance to observe nature up close from the water as do kayak and canoe rental facilities and many public boat ramps. The area is rich in history, art galleries, antique shops, and local crafts. Plan to visit the islands that nestle in scenic Penobscot Bay. You'll find it all here; rich history, spectacular scenery, abundant wildlife, and friendly people.

Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Lincolnville
When we were looking for a home on the coast, we wanted to find a location with a picture perfect rental location as well. And we found just that. Because we live here, we can provide support to our guests and make sure that each vacation is "just right." Of course, when the Windjammer is not rented, we can also host our own gatherings of friends and family. The location, the view, the charm and the wildlife all made this the perfect spot for us -- and for you!
The Unique Benefits of this Barn
Mid-coast Maine is simply spectacular. Driving in any direction one finds antiques, restaurants, art, hiking trails, ship tours, just about anything relating to the ocean. The best features, of course, are the views of the special Maine coast and the wild life that abounds. Whatever time of year one comes to Maine, there's always too much to see and do.
