The Barn has been lovingly renovated into a charming seaside cottage. It is located on private, beautifully maintained acreage four miles from the village of Jonesport, with deep water frontage and views of Roque Island and open seas.
This unique oceanfront house exudes character and is furnished with an eclectic mix of antiques and tasteful artifacts. The Barn is a place where you'll immediately feel at home, and by the time you leave, you'll feel you've made a new and treasured friend. It's a peaceful get-away where you can get in tune with the sounds of nature.
Listen to the surf come ashore on the popple stone beach, enjoy the colors and textures of the lovely perennial and vegetable gardens, or take the path to the cliff side where you can marvel at the panoramic view of the ocean--perfect for sunrises.
Later in the day, stroll to a pristine sand beach where you may find some wonderful shells or bits of sea glass. Then relax on the front porch where you can watch the sun set over the open fields and two freshwater ponds. The fire pit by the shore provides the perfect place to end your day and perhaps make some s’mores for dessert!
Eric and Betty Kelley are the owners/hosts of The Barn at Mary Jim's Shore. They know that you will love this amazing property the second you arrive. The Barn is a welcoming and comfortable cottage affording you all the amenities you could ask for and the extraordinary oceanfront property is large, private, and beautifully maintained. Give it a try--they're sure you'll return again and again!
We spent a week at this beautiful mesmerizing place in July and enjoyed every moment there. The picturesque views of the water and the lobster boats were so relaxing. I found myself settling into the tranquility of the place - the sounds, the smells, the beautiful sunrises and sunsets - and truly missed it once we left. Eric and Betty are wonderful! They provided very helpful information about the area, things we might want to see, roads to take to avoid traffic. The Barn is beautiful, cozy, and provides a perfect place to enjoy the "real Maine". I would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you Eric and Betty for such a wonderful experience!
Outstanding in all respects! Owners are super people.
This was our 5th stay at the Barn & we're already booked for next year! We always find new things to do, and enjoy repeating many activities from previous years. Don't miss out on a great getaway!!
Our week was so perfect we are coming back next year. The Barn is situated so it has views of the water from almost every room. And if you aren't staring at the ocean, you can stare in the opposite direction at the surrounding yard and gardens that even include 2 ponds. Country in theme and decor, yet filled with every amenity and detail a guest could want. The kitchen is so complete you can do some serious cooking. Even the knives are sharp - rare for a rental. Very comfy bed and bedding. Betty and Eric were so helpful about places to drive, hike and eat. And the one or 2 rainy times we had were perfect by the fire. The Barn was one of the best surprises we've had on a vacation.
What a wonderful week at The Barn. It is cozy, exceptionally clean and provided a great place to relax, read, or just walk over to the nearby beach to find sea glass. Betty and Eric were great hosts that were available to give us helpful suggestions for area sites to visit, where to hike, etc. We enjoyed a week of perfect weather and in this perfect location our stay there could not have been any better. It is definitely on our list of places to stay again.
It's difficult to decide which is more charming The Barn or our lovely hosts. Everything exceeded our expectations. The pictures of The Barn are beautiful but it is so much better in person. The views from every window are amazing, from the shore covered with popple stones to the beautiful trees and expansive meadow. My husband consulted Betty on different sites in the area and we couldn't have had better advice, every suggestion she made was spot on. Betty and Eric are warm, thoughtful and creative and they attend to every detail, from the utensils in the house to having everything ready for a seaside fire. It is difficult to put into words what a wonderful experience it is at The Barn. Betty, Eric and Sugar provide a magical environment where we found ourselves having more fun, giggling more and awed by the beauty surrounding us. We plan to become regular visitors.
Located just off Route 187 on a private road, The Barn at Mary Jim's Shore has deep water ocean frontage, a popple stone beach, and looks across to Roque Island and open ocean.
