Wonderful Escape from the crazy world!
We had such an amazing stay here. Everything was perfect. Very romantic, quiet, and peaceful. Candy was a superb host! We enjoyed this area of Maine, did some sightseeing, golfing, and relaxing. The waterfront seating and fires at night were unforgettable. Meteor shower was at its peak when we were here and that was magical to say the least!
Will will recommend to friends and are looking forward to returning!

lovely location
You will be impressed with the location, and the way the barn at first glance is charming.
But you are in a converted barn, with very uneven wooden floors and beams on the staircase that require you to duck.
The two bedrooms upstairs have no bathroom, so you have to navigate your way to the ground floor bathrooms.
The electrical system is confusing, even with written instructions, it took awhile to learn the system especially when a circuit breaker tripped when a heater was turned on.
With respect to the owners , and to fellow travelers I would not recommend this place to an elderly couple, but to a family with an adventurous spirit seeking a great location to hang out, buy lobsters, rent kayaks, go for walks, and enjoy compete serenity.

I'm sorry to hear about a breaker tripping. That's something that hasn't happened before and will need to be checked out by an electrician. In converting th Barn into a cottage as little was changed as possible in order to preserve the integrity of a 200+ year old structure. Most of my guests have found the Barn to be rustic but charming, cozy and comfortable.

Rustic converted barn for secluded getaway
Positive aspects:
The host was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with.
A charming location, albeit quite secluded. One should be prepared to drive 25-30 minutes to get groceries.
Sufficient bedrooms for a family of 5 (or even 6 if children share a bed) and two bathrooms with showers.
Great to have a washer/dryer.
Some more critical aspects:
This converted barn has lots of aesthetic charm, but has some limitations in terms of comfort and proximity to towns and other attractions, making it well-suited for those wishing to escape and be alone. The barn itself retains a good deal of its origins. Consequently, it has not yet been converted with a priority on comfort and lighting/airiness. The downstairs bedroom is nice, but rather dark as it faces the woodland. The upstairs bedrooms are well-equipped. However, there is no hallway and there is an old (closed) trapdoor down to where the kitchen is situated, thus limiting "privacy" and the ability to have discussions downstairs if someone is sleeping upstairs. Some of the internal doors did not properly close (there seems to be some humidity that likely affects the doors). The dock is lovely, but is not immediately outside the house, making it impractical to have meals near it without carrying everything down from the barn to the dock. The back deck of the barn was also missing a table at which a family could eat. Thus, the only practical table was inside, which was a pity.

Sweet spot
Way out there get away, the barn is rustic and small, the dockside is beautiful, though not so much for swimming, at least at low tide

Relaxing Time in Maine
The location is lovely and the accommodations were nice. We had a wonderful time. The backyard was so beautiful and peaceful, the ocean was wonderful and we did lots of local things (fair, art show) and we all had a great time.
The listing was not entirely accurate, however. The listing said there was an oven, but there was only burners, a toaster over, and a back yard grill. Also, it was listed as a 3 bedroom, but there were only two bedrooms with a third area with beds that you had to walk through to get to a bedroom, so essentially no privacy.

The Barn is just the right balance of rustic and convenience.
The Barn is clean, cosy and private. There is plenty of separate rooms and areas inside and out to make it comfortable for 4 adults. The area by the water is great, we went down every day for a beer or two before dinner. The area behind the house and the BBQ are private - but does get buggy in the evening.
Can’t wait to go back next year!

attention to detail
The views were not what we had expected. You need to be outside the cottage to see the water; or make an effort to peer out through the windows. The proximity to the water from the Barn is not great.. and you do have to cross the street+walk down a path. If you want to hear the waves or smell the ocean from home, this is not the place. Backyard is woodsy +pretty. Obvious owner loves property; but next time, I will ask more questions..I was really disappointed.

Great little house with charm and cuteness abound.
This is a great little cabin with comfy beds, a wood burning stove for heat. It is not a high end home with the amenities of life. But if you are looking to downshift and get away from it all enjoy the coast of Maine then this is a great little place to do it!

Felt like we went back in time – in a good way
Our family loved our visit to the barn. It was just the right size for the four of us. The children loved the upstairs rooms, and our younger son got a kick out of the ladder. The proximity to the water was perfect, but we did have to travel quite a ways to get to a store or restaurant. Candy was very helpful sharing information about local places to go and things to do. We had a wonderful family trip!

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing
Candy's place is a gem. The barn is located on a quiet road with views over the St. George River. Beautiful morning light in August. The barn is very clean, comfortable, has everything you need yet still retains its rustic charm. Candy was easy to contact and made the experience a great one. Highly recommended.

Charming; simply, well-equipped; gracious hostess
"The Barn," as the owner names it, is as charming inside as it looks from the outside. Cozy for friendly guests. The owner has a care for detail and is responsive to guest requests. The barn is comfortable for four adults. It has a wide view of the bay and shore, which is about a 100 yards across a clear grass field from the front door. The rental includes a lovely sitting area and fire-pit just above the dock. We would stay there again.

Amazing Rental!!
My stay at the barn was nothing short of a dream. The woman who owns the home helped to make my stay absolutely perfect. Starting with a cozy bed and waking up in a tranquil location was just what I needed to help me unwind from the stresses of work. We would start our morning with coffee by the ocean and watch as the lobster boats puttered by. My husband and I loved taking walks through the neighborhood and looking at the beautiful historic homes in the area and occasionally pick a wild strawberry or blueberry. With its charming accommodations, peaceful surroundings, and breathtaking scenery I would highly recommend this rental to everyone.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Candy Garrison
I live in Texas on a small ranch west of Austin in what is known as the Texas Hill Country. As a retired teacher I spend most of my time outside working in my gardens: flower; vegetable; and moon and small vineyard where I grow mostly native American grapes and, in good years, make mostly good wine. I feel very fortunate to have the best of both worlds, Maine and Texas!
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
My first visit to Maine was in 1978. My mother and step-father had bought an old house (1779) in the town of Cushing. Along with the house came a workshop, carriage house, and a two-story barn. I fell in love!
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
The Barn not only offers a cozy, warm, and comfortable home to its guests, it also gives them the unique opportunity to feel a part of the history of coastal Maine. The Barn has been restored for comfort and convenience but there remain remnants of its 200 year history from the weathered wooden beams and wide plank boards to the antique farm tools decorating it's walls. A hand-made wooden ladder in the corner of the kitchen-sitting area allowed the farmer access to the second floor through a trap door. A second floor hay window used in the past to cast out hay for the farm animals is used today to cast the eyes upon the water before closing in sleep and to summon the sea breezes as you dream.
