Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing. The before 10:00 AM check-out time felt unnecessarily early, especially with the expectation that guests also complete the laundry before leaving. This made the departure process feel rushed and inconvenient.Unfortunately, the lady who arrived before 10:00 AM was also quite rude and unwelcoming, which made the experience even less pleasant.Overall, we expected a more comfortable and respectful experience and were disappointed with the way the stay ended.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Oct 2026
Over the sixteen years of serving our seasonal guests, we’ve found it necessary to set a 10:00 AM check out in order to thoroughly clean the house and have it ready for our next guests arriving at 4 PM. This is the first time it’s been met with a such a degree of dissatisfaction. Occasionally we have allowed late checkouts when advanced notice has been given and the schedule can accommodate the request. However, in this case, new guests were arriving that afternoon and our guests did not mention their need for a later check out. Prior to departure, our guests are asked to gather bath towels and start them in the wash. This helps make sure heavy towels have time enough to dry completely. We’re never pleased when guests don’t enjoy their entire time at the house. In the future, we will communicate check out times so there is no confusion.

Great for a Group!

We were two families, gathered for our son and daughter's wedding nearby, so it was great to have space to spread out and a nice big dining room and table for meals. The owner was ultra-responsive to needs and requests.

Cynthia - We work hard to make sure the entire house is clean and ready for our guests. Thanks for letting us know about your experience concerning the coffee pots. This is the first time in our 15 year history that this has happened. We will review our kitchen cleaning to match the high standard of clean you experienced in the rest of the house! Thanks for your comments!

Lovely Farmhouse accommodations!

The Farmhouse advertised in this listing lived up to its charm and comfort for our stay. It was the perfect place for us to explore Acadia National Park and Mt. Desert Island without the intense crowds and cost in Bar Harbor itself. We would return to this place in a heartbeat!

This is a wonderful (old) house with lots of space. The bedrooms are nicely separate, making it perfect for any group of people that would like some level of privacy. The outdoor fire pit is especially nice. It is 25-30 minute distance from Acadia and Bar Harbor, which we did not find an obstacle. It has a large dinging room table perfect for dinner and games. The kitchen is well furnished. Really perfect for a family visit to Acadia.

Acadia/ Bar Harbor Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy farmhouse in the country. Our host, Ray, told us the rich history of the house which made it even more special. The beds were very comfortable, and the house was very clean! It was a perfect place for our family to gather. The nearby town of Ellsworth offered plenty of restaurants, and the 30 minute drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia was beautiful!!

Lovely Farm house

The house is very charming and comfortable especially the beds! We slept very well! It's not too far from all the places we wanted to visit (Bar Harbor & Acadia State Park). The area is quiet and relaxing and the host, Ray, is very nice and easy to communicate with. The water pressure took a bit to fully kick in but that's all. Beautiful place to stay. Loved the house!

Weekend in Lamoine

Great location half-way between Winter Harbor and Bar Harbor. The house is nicely decorated, spacious, very clean and had everything we needed. It's located in a very pretty, quiet neighborhood. The sun room was perfect to set up a puzzle table. We had a camp fire one nit in the fire pit. We would definitely love to stay there again.

Quiet farmhouse close to Acadia

We spent a week in this house while visiting Acadia at peak season. We were 5 adults and 1 dog. The house is a quirky old farm house that was clean and inviting upon arrival. Communication with host worked well and the kitchen was well equipped. Our favorite part was being away from the crowds inside desert island and the close proximity to Lamoine beach - we ended up going there every morning and every night.

Comment on homeaway fees

I think the homeaway fees charged are high compared to the value offered.

I have control of the price per day or week of the rental, but not the Homeaway fees charged beyond that. However, there is a 9% State of Maine lodging tax which is included in the Homeaway fee.

Comfy, Convenient, Caring Owner

Family of 6, 2 grandparents, 2 grandchildren, 2 parents. We totally loved our stay at the Farmhouse! 3 full baths, modern kitchen, washer, dryer, and plenty of space were just what we needed. Easy to watch movies, play games, prepare and eat meals. Attentive and caring owner answered any questions we had. Convenient location to Bangor, Ellsworth, MDI, yet not on a busy highway. We loved it!

Unique house

The house is as described, old and with lots of character. Kitchen is completely updated and stocked with more cooking supplies than any other house we have rented. The syn room always had a nice breeze. The girls hung out in there while the guys took over the living room. Would have liked another comfy chair in the sunroom, but you can't have everything. Great having a washer and dryer to use. Just far enough away from Acadia to get out of the crowds and easy to go to town for supplies.

Beautiful home--A perfect getaway

Beautiful home--a perfect getaway for anyone interested in Acadia and Bar Harbor without the crowds of Bar Harbor. I've had the pleasure of watching the house progress from an antique farmhouse to a beautiful, charming, cozy home. The owners might have kept the old New England farmhouse look, but they have done an incredible job of updating this home. The updates (including colors) throughout the house provide the rustic, relaxing feel of Maine with the vibe, pep, and necessities of a modern home. The owners have done a fabulous job keeping the rustic feel while allowing for modern amenities. The brand new kitchen, spacious living room, and relaxing sunroom provide the comfort and quality of a home away from home. The bedrooms provide further relaxation with a different color scheme for each room. This house is the perfect getaway for anyone interested in Acadia and Bar Harbor, without the chaos and prices of Mount Desert Island.

We're so glad that the farmhouse has been "home" to many families on vacation. We've tried to keep the house charming while making it comfortable and welcoming. Come spend a week or more and enjoy the area and all that Acadia has to offer.

a wonderful stay

After a long trip and many hotels it was a pleasure to arrive at the farmhouse with all its extra room. The owner had the bedroom prepared for us and was very helpful in providing information about the area and restaurants. He gave us good information on Acadia National Park & we made several trips to the beautiful park. We also had Lamoine Beach & State Park within 5 minutes of the house. We enjoyed the area and found Finns, Governors and Jaspers to have excellent food. We went to the local airport which was about 10 minutes away & took a plane tour of Acadia & the surrounding area. The spacious home could have easily accomodated three more couples or families with children. The farmhouse was rustic in design but had all the modern amenities while still holding its charm & comfort. Our dog especially enjoyed the large yard and we loved the quiet neighborhood. We rate it five stars. *****

We're so thrilled when families staying at the farmhouse are able to enjoy it. It is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Pets are able to take advantage of the large yard and field. Come make the farmhouse your headquarters while exploring this beautiful area.

The PERFECT house for our large family

We had a wonderful week at the farmhouse. What a comfortable house, full of charm and nooks and crannies! Our six grown children were with us, and fit very comfortably into the house while feeling as if they had their own space. The doors between the rooms really helped to keep noise down and give privacy. For instance, the upstairs queen bedroom is open, at the end of an open staircase from the first floor. With doors on the first floor bedrooms and on the dining area, very little noise got upstairs. Three good size bathrooms, 2 with tubs, meant no lines, no wait! Also, as other reviewers noted, a well-stocked newish kitchen with a nice gas stove. Washer and dryer are right in the kitchen, another nice feature. Also, we appreciated Lamoine, too. We spent much of our time in Acadia, and it is a bit of a drive, but it is also nice to leave the hustle and bustle of the Park and Bar Harbor. Anything lacking? No (well, maybe an apron for the chief cook and bottle washer...). Would we rent this house again? In a heartbeat!

We are fortunate to be located in Lamoine and have such close access to Lamoine State Park and Lamoine Beach. They are jewels we enjoy in our "backyard." We're glad the house was large enough to give everyone space and privacy. It never occurred to me to have an apron for the chef. That will be remedied tomorrow!
