Beautiful property! Inside the studio is very comfortable...love the bed! Emily and Brien responded immediately to our situation (travel was challenging), and they were unbelievably easy to work with. I recommend to anyone traveling to the area, to stay at the Hope Orchard. It's very central to various cities, (Portland, Augusta and Moosehead Lake).Thank you both!

Wish we could have stayed longer.

The studio is very spacious and had everything you might need for an extended stay, Emily even let us help ourselves to the tomatoes in the garden. So quiet. Wish we had more time to relax there, but our time was limited. The location is perfect for trips into Camden and Rockport.

Central Maine location

This rental was perfect for our needs. The owner, Emily, was pleasant to work with and went above the standard to provide us with little extras. We even got the chance to meet Emily. The location of this place was close to the coast line and central to many of Maine’s attractions. I loved how quiet and quaint the area of Hope is and look forward to returning!

What a wonderful stay

This is an amazing getaway. It is surrounded by an apple orchard. The owners are really nice people and very attentive. If you have any needs or wishes. The space itself is very clean, bright, and homey. They have managed to take part of a bottom floor of a barn and redo it into a wonderful little space Big enough to feel large, and yet cozy. Yes, it’s all that.

Relaxing 😌

The stay was memorable. The studio is perfect for enjoying time outdoors on the porch or sitting at the table and taking in all the lovely views. Emily is always working so hard in her orchard. What a delightful couple. I highly recommend the studio, you will not be disappointed.

July stay at Hope Orchards

We had a wonderful stay. The hosts were generous and very helpful. The kitchen was well stocked and the hosts had left fresh blueberries to welcome us when we arrived. The pictures don't do the suite justice; it is even larger than it appears in the photos. Even though it is in the country, it is very convenient to Camden, Rockport, and a lot of amazing hiking. If anything, it was better than we expected. We highly recommend Emily and Brien's suite at Hope Orchard.

A must stay experience!!!

This is a must stay experience nestled in the mountains but not too far away from things you want to do. The hosts are fantastically sweet and kind. Their studio is like a small fully furnished apartment! Amazing patio and views of their orchard. Very clean and up to date! No TV was amazing! They do have internet and WiFi available so you aren’t without for those that cannot get away from technology. We loved the quiet nature of it all and the general store is literally a stones throw away. Lots of hiking available in the area as well. People definitely need to get on board with Hope, Maine and Hope Orchard.

Beautiful setting/great location!

We were looking for a quiet/peaceful setting for our trip to the Camden, Maine area and Hope Orchards more than met our expectations. The property is conveniently set within a short drive to Camden, Rockport, Rockland and Belfast with a General Store 200 yards down the road offering the basic necessities along with a respectable selection of wine and craft beers.Set on an apple orchard, this beautifully renovated barn is a gem. The accommodations are a spacious studio with a full kitchen and plenty of living area….not at all cramped as many studios tend to be. Our favorite spot is the porch overlooking the orchard where we enjoyed morning coffee and evening cocktails.Emily, the hostess, is wonderful-very pleasant and ready to offer any recommendations to make our stay more enjoyable. Without question, we will stay here again if our travels bring us back to this area.

The studio in the renovated barn exceeded my expectations! The space was huge! Everything was clean and the kitchen was well equipped for food prep and cooking. The bathroom was well supplied as well. The location is in a beautiful, quiet, country setting. The orchard is right outside the door and there is a huge wrap around porch for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Just a short walk away on the "main" road is an old fashion country store that carries any essential item needed. They make their own pizza and make awesome sandwiches. There's coffee and even a wine bar. Because the property is in a rural area there is no traffic, no crowds, yet it is not far from everything the coast offers. Camden is only a short distance away. The hosts, Emily and Brien are so friendly and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and definitely plan to return.

Lovely Hope Orchards

We had an absolutely wonderful 3-night stay at Hope Orchards. The spacious, renovated barn is even nicer than in the pictures online. Everything you need is available, and the studio is immaculate. There is more than enough space for two adults, and the bed is very comfortable. The surrounding grounds of Emily and Brien's home and orchard are beautiful, and we enjoyed fresh blueberries and lettuce right from the orchard and gardens. Since we stayed in early August, we were fortunate enough to also enjoy watching the meteor showers on a clear night. The property is only a short drive from Camden, and beautiful hikes and sightseeing without the traffic and bustle of Route 1! We will be recommending the Hope Orchards studio to family and friends! Thank you Emily and Brien!

A little slice of heaven!

This property is a little slice of heaven. Located near Camden but out of the tourist circle. The accommodations are located in a updated barn. The outside says "barn", the inside says "darling". Airy open space with fabulous nature views. Well appointed kitchen, bath, eating, and sitting area. Small terrace outside offers wonderful vista of property and is a delight to sit on with morning coffee, or evening wine. The owners are kind and informative, present but invisible, you'll see them working the property, but not in your business. It was a wonderfully comfortable space to return to after a day of soaking in the delights Maine has to offer. I highly recommend this property, especially if you are seeking a quiet respite close to, but outside of the tourist towns.

Off the beaten path - is a good thing

If you find that the hustle and bustle of Camden, Rockport and Rockland can be a little much at times, and you can appreciate pretty rural land - consider staying at the orchard in Hope. Emily and Brien were kind hosts, and the place is idyllic. The terrace outside on the south side of the barn was a great place to sit in the morning and evening, and the deep porch on the east side was a good place to sit and escape the heat of the afternoon. The orchard is picturesque and flanked by low mountains, and if you like to locavore, they have a farm stand 30 yards from the door, and in the neighborhood there is a hennery for fresh eggs, a cookie shack and an apiary with local honey and maple syrup. I can vouch for the apples, sugar snap peas, cabbage and tomatoes from the orchard :-). Megunticook Lake, Hobbs Pond, Lincolnville General Store, and the attractions of Camden, Rockport and Rockville are all closeby.

Perfection

I had a feeling, from pix, write-up, and reviews that the studio would be wonderful. And it absolutely lives up to all the stellar reviews. It is immaculate, newly renovated, and designed and furnished with love and attention to details. It's located on spectacular property with beautiful views of the orchard. While this is a rural property, it's near towns and a few paces from a general store. So convenient. Ours was a (too) short stay. We want to return and return. The smell of grass, the fog that burns off, the front porch, and seating out back. Splendid. Pull out couch if needed. Large room with a screened-off bed. Sparkling new bathroom. Great for alone time, or a couple.

Beautiful Farm Location

Wonderful spacious studio in a peaceful farm setting. Absolutely enjoyed our stay and will return if we are in the area. The studio is in a rural area surrounded by a small farm and orchard. The area is quiet except for the front porch that is facing the road. Back patio is quiet, but uncovered. The studio was very clean and thoughtfully decorated. I did not cook much, the kitchen was well supplied for simple meals. Somewhat lacking wall outlets in usable places, so bring some power outlets. Emily is easy to communicate with and very friendly. I even picked some fresh blueberries with her. The area has spotty cell phone coverage so make sure to get any arrival information early. I highly recommend this rental. It's an easy 15 minute drive to touristy Camden for restaurants and groceries, and so nice to come back to relax.

Tranquility in Hope Orchards

We enjoyed our relaxing stay here. This converted barn was roomy with a full kitchen and bath. It was nice to spread out and enjoy the quiet views after a busy, sightseeing week along the coast. Brien even gave us a couple of apples that were close to harvest ready. Delicious! We will definitely be back if we are in Maine again. Highly recommend.

This is a roomy property, very quiet with lovely views of the apple trees. Heat/AC worked well. It was a great jumping off point for lots of wonderful towns and things to do and views to take in. Even an easy trip to Acadia and Castine, Rockland, Rockport and Thomaston. We filled everyday with an adventure. Just note that there is no TV although we did not need one.

Experience a Taste of Maine

Our stay at Hope Orchards was a five star experience all around. Relax on the patio and enjoy the scenery and nature’s beauty. Go a few miles and you’re on Route 1 ready to experience Camden, Belfast and midcoast area. Emily and Brien were wonderful hosts and went the extra mile to answer questions about things to do and even helped us when our car wouldn’t start! The apartment was fabulous and exactly as stated— clean, nicely appointed and private. Highly recommended to anyone that wants an authentic taste of Maine or just to stay and relax at the orchard.

About the host

Hosted by Emily J Davis

Host profile image
We maintain Hope Orchards, a seasonal pick-your-own/retail apple operation, which opens to the public during the September and October months. The orchard has been here since the 1940's , and we have been here for over twenty two years.

Why they chose this property

Well maintained, clean, sparse space with private entrance, plenty of parking space, safe community, simple amenities, and welcoming hosts who are steps away as needed. This first floor of our recently renovated barn provides some of the best views of the orchard.
We have easy access to the coast and all that it has to offer, just six miles east on Rte. 105.

What makes this property unique

Our place is described as beautiful, quiet, idyllic. Out your back door are the family vegetable gardens. Step further to sample the raspberries. Feel free to wander the orchard. You can take a stroll to the general store, or a hike up Hatchet Mtn. Or just relax on the patio!
