This is a truly special vacation rental. The Barn was built it in the style of a traditional Maine summer cottage/barn (rustic with exposed beams and rough hewn wood) but it is a newer building that is rock solid, thoughtfully designed, fully insulated, and very comfortable and homey. At this property you feel like you are visiting friends and family. There are plenty of linens, and towels, (including beach towels), soap and shampoo, cooking oil and spices, books, games and puzzles, throw blankets, etc. The barn is very private and has a lovely view of an inlet. The property has water access (though no real beach), and a fire pit down by the shore. Our wonderful hosts Roger and Maddie pointed us to several great beaches and hikes and we did a bit of bike riding. We enjoyed ice cream at the Dark Harbor shop and pastries by Laura of Blue water Bakery. (Call her direct to order). We had “Tuesday night pizza” from On the Rock cafe, as well as Friday night taco bowls. Our family of 4 (kids aged 16 and 12) stayed at the Barn August 7-14, 2021. It was our first to Islesboro. A trip highlight was chartering the quicksilver with Ben for a tour of the area by boat. Magical.
