Beautiful farmhouse with hiking trails/kayaking. 5 minutes to town or ocean!
The Guest House at Tripping Gnome Farm is a light-filled and airy space featuring 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a kitchenette, and a large open living area with a gas fireplace. A former barn renovated in 2022, the house is situated on our working organic farm and has access to several miles of hiking trails from the backyard. Guests here also have access to kayaks that they can use to navigate Kelsey Brook, which leads to the Haraseeket River. A fire-pit provides a cozy gathering spot for guests as well. Our quiet and idyllic farm property is located only 5 minutes from downtown Freeport, home of the L.L. Bean flagship store as well as a multitude of other outlet stores to satisfy everyone's shopping needs. Equidistant to the farm is Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park, filled with oceanside hiking trails, as well as Wolfe's Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment, a sustainable dairy farm which hosts educational and community programs.

Property, accommodations and host could not have been better. This is a great place to stay in Freeport and we highly recommend it for families visiting the area. What a gem!
We had such a lovely stay at the farmhouse. The hosts were very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. The property itself is expansive, and we enjoyed walking around and playing disc golf. Such a beautiful stay, thank you!
This farmhouse is unbelievable! Beautiful location tucked off the road with amazing walking trails and wildlife. The hosts are incredible and very nice. Overall 10/10
Both hosts and property were beyond fantastic. Don't pass up the opportunity to stay. Trails a fantasy land, moss covered along a stream that leads to a marsh area and kayaks. I can't say enough.
We absolutely loved our stay! Robin and Harry were lovely and so accommodating with the timing we checked in to allow us to be in early. It’s located on their property so I felt like our place was secure. The Vrbo itself was so beautiful. the beds were comfortable the towels weren’t scratchy, but plump and, clean and lovely like I have at my house. There was plenty of room for us to bring in breakfast food in their fridge. It was nice and quiet. I love that they have a store where we could buy their homegrown mushrooms and micro greens. I can’t say enough for how it was such a perfect fit for our family and friends .
Robin and Harry were wonderfully hospitable and attentive. The farmhouse was immaculate, comfortable, and situated on a quiet, beautiful farm, with quick access to anything and everything you would need--more Maine beauty, restaurants, shopping, groceries. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to kayak as they provided everything one would need steps from the farmhouse.
The only information to note is that the kitchen is a little small in that there is no stove, oven, dishwasher (small sink) or full refrigerator--which if you are planning on staying for a longer time and want to do some cooking, it might be a little challenging. For us, it was fine as we just ate simple snacks at the farmhouse and ate out at the wonderful nearby restaurants for our meals.
Thank you, Robin and Harry, for a wonderful stay. We definitely hope to return!
