Beautiful barn home on the water - close to Popham Beach

Tucked away in the rural seaside village in Phippsburg, Maine, you’ll find the 1774 Inn, a historic waterfront estate steeped in natural beauty and authentic Maine charm. An 18th century manor house and 19th century barn are surrounded by native plant landscaping, vegetable gardens, and breathtaking water views. You might catch glimpses of seals lounging on the islands, eagles swooping from tall pines, stunning sunrises, and starry skies. It’s a place to gather and connect, whether you are celebrating your wedding, hosting a family reunion or just retreating from the hustle and bustle.

The Hayloft is a spacious and airy apartment on the upper story of the barn and features exposed wood beams, plentiful sunlight, and stunning views. Steeped in Maine cottage style, it’s decorated with vintage furniture, earthy tones, and local art.

With 3 bedrooms (2 standard, 1 lofted) and 1 bathroom, the loft sleeps up to 6 guests. The master suite has a king bed and a sitting area with the original sliding hay door-turned-picture window overlooking the inn’s flower gardens.

The living space has a vaulted ceiling, sitting area, kitchen, dining area, and reading nook. French doors open to a spacious balcony with a bird’s eye view of the entire estate, including the ceremony site, lawn, patio and river.

There are Adirondack chairs for lounging, lawn games for playing, and a fire pit for toasting s'mores. We also have a deep-water dock for use during your stay.

Here, you’ll feel like you are away from it all--surrounded by nature and small town charm--but you’re only a stone’s throw from anything you could possibly need or desire. Just 15 minutes from Bath, 20 minutes from Brunswick, and 45 minutes from Portland. Popham Beach is just down the road.

Nearby attractions include a swimming hole and nature preserve down the road, kayaking, boating, golfing, restaurants, antiquing, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Maine Maritime Museum and more.

(Note that the manor house on the estate has 8 bedrooms for up to 16 guests and is also available for rent.)
