About this farm stay rental

This charming historical farmhouse with gorgeous waterfront and side views is located at the end of a beautiful ocean bay in Addison Maine. Built by a sea captain in the early 1800's, it served as the village's first post office, a maternity ward for midwives and a vacation home for many guests maintaining the same energizing warmth and hospitality it offered many years ago. Relax on the large front porch with your morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine and watch the birds and seals, sometimes otters, deer, mink and moose! Absorb positive energy from the large tides that constantly change the view for you. Walk or bicycle to Crowley Island, a natural bird preserve and don't forget your camera, the area beaches are just minutes away and connect to trails with breathtaking views. It offers a charming dining and living room, eat in kitchen complete , a cozy library full of books including a children's section, board games, puzzles (a Maine favorite) and over 100 DVDs for a relaxing movie night. Tourist pamphlets and local restaurant menus are kept on premises to help you plan your days and nights.

Less than 90 minutes away from Acadia National State Park, 27 minutes to Rogues Bluff State Park, 15 minutes away from Beals Island, an hour and 30 minutes to Lubec and Canada.

The Bayfront Farmhouse was the perfect combination for our Downeast Maine family vacation. The home and surrounding area has more than enough family activities with yard games, hiking, biking, and kayaking opportunities outside the front door or within a less than 10 minute drive (bikes and kayaks provided). The home is also an ideal homebase for the region with Acadia National Park, Boot Head Preserve, West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, and Roosevelt Campobello International Park easily accessible for day-trips. The house itself was great for our family of 5. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, spices, etc. for all our cooking needs. Common spaces were comfortable with more than enough room to spread out throughout the house. The large dining table and small kitchen tables are a bonus, but with porch seating and picnic tables in the yard and along the cove we barely used them. More than enough towels and linens were available with a washer and dryer available as needed. Communication with the host was easy and very positive. They provide an excellent primer on the area to help you feel comfortable before you even arrive at the house. Check-in and check-out were a breeze and very positive experience. 5-star review all around!

We had a wonderful time in Addison. The historic farmhouse is located on a very quiet road. The views of the bay, from the large porch and the shore are awesome and the landscape change all day, thanks to the large tides! The house is fully equipped with everything we needed, plus a lot of books and many puzzles (we tried and finished all of them)! The house was perfectly clean and the rooms were perfect for a good sleep! We truly appreciated the historic charm of the house, since we are owners of an old house ourselves, back in Quebec, Canada! The barn is stocked with bikes, a canoe, two tubes et four kayaks with all the equipment required (safety vests, etc,). We spent many hours exploring the bay and used to go the nice little beach (located on the left in front of the property) for swimming and relaxing. Crowley Island road was a nice place to walk, ride bikes with the kids and watch birds. Right from the porch or while sitting on the shore in front of the house, we never got tired of watching ospreys and bald eagles fishing in the bay all day. We also saw many seals during the week! The house is only minutes away from Sandy river beach, a little gem you don’t want to miss on a short trip to Jonesport! One of the nicest beach in the Bold Coast part of Maine! Finally, Liz is a wonderful host, giving us a call a couple of days before our trip to make sure everything was perfect. She gave us useful informations so we can relax and have a good time! We will come back!

Our stay reminded us of how lucky we were to grow up in that area. We were there for a family wedding and all worked out perfectly. Liz was very responsive whenever I sent a question along. Would highly recommend!

This is a beautiful older home so you have to take that into consideration. The steps going upstairs are steep and the bathrooms are small, but I expected both of those. The steps may be a challenge for some. It is beautiful and the extras are all there! Books, DVDs, and plenty of kitchen items. There are bicycles and kayaks with all the gear to go along, picnic tables, and a fire pit next to the water. Unfortunately, we only used the bicycles and kayaks once because we were out site seeing the majority of the time, but you could entertain yourself easily just with everything available. The location is away from a lot of things, but was centrally located for the sites we were looking to visit. We visited Acadia, Bar Harbor, Roosevelt Campobello International Park, West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, Head Harbour Lightstation, Roque Bluffs State Park, Jasper Beach, Sandy River Beach, took the ferry from Campobello to St George and made a loop back through St. Stephen/Calais, as well as visiting other small things. While at the house we saw lots of birds including multiple bald eagles and deer. The ocean breeze is fantastic, and we stayed very cool despite it being July. We were there over the 4th of July and Machias had a great parade with a fireworks show (we missed the parade in Jonesport because it was the weekend before the 4th). I'm sure I've left something out. Communicating with Elizabeth was very easy and she seems like a genuinely nice, caring person.

Oh wow…I don’t even know where to begin with this review!! We had THE most amazing time at Elizabeth’s amazing home. Firstly, Elizabeth is the sweetest person who was genuinely excited for my family and cared about us having the best time. I truly enjoyed chatting with her and even though we didn’t personally meet, I feel like she is a friend!! The location of this house is better than you can imagine! My husband and I and our four kids (age 14, 14, 11, and 9) enjoyed the beautiful views, kayaking on the water (and seeing seals), bike riding as a family to the Crawley Island, and swimming in the salt water pond. We bought lobsters at Look Lobster (the people were soooo sweet there) and made the most epic meal! Elizabeth’s kitchen is stocked and had everything we needed to make and eat whole lobsters. We bought 10 huge lobsters for $84 total!!! Elizabeth’s dining room table, with views of the ocean out the window, offered the perfect backdrop! There is also a library in the house with a ton of cool books in it that kept us busy. We went to Jasper beach (which was so cool) and spent a day in Lubec, which I highly recommend. The lighthouse and the state park there are must sees. Overall, if you want an authentic Maine stay, off the beaten path and away from all the tourism, this is the place for you! You will not regret it! We made memories as a family that we will never forget! We didn’t want to ever leave! Thank you Elizabeth for sharing this place with us!

We had a nice visit in this beautiful farm house in a beautiful setting. The host communicated all the necessary details ahead of time. The house was clean and spacious with a well stocked kitchen. There were bikes available for the kids to use in the barn and a wonderful dirt road that served as a long, quiet trail for a walk/bike. We were able to see a seal from the picnic table that is down by the water's edge! WiFi in the house worked great and there are dozens of books and DVDs to choose from for entertainment. We enjoyed our time. This is an old farmhouse, so if you are sensitive to the smell of mold, you might have some trouble. Many of the windows can't be opened because of age (which the host communicated to us). We had a heavy rain storm during our visit and there was a leak around the chimney upstairs in one room, but it wasn't a bedroom. There was also one mouse spotting. These things aren't atypical for an old farmhouse, but worth knowing if you are sensitive.

My friends and I checked out of this place nearly in tears, we so desperately did not want to leave! I simply cannot rave enough about how cool this property is: a historic farmhouse right by the water with many of its original historical features, with eclectic decorations (including fisherman lamps and several old paintings of sailing ships) that just make you feel like you’re in a movie. You sort of get the feeling like the house is filled with friendly ghosts. My friends and I rented this as a place to host our book club meeting and it was absolutely dreamy. Additionally, the hosts were super accommodating and easing to communicate with. They had the kitchen fully stocked with coffee, tea, various cooking supplies and ingredients— it really felt like we were at home. All the beds were comfy and with a kitchen, dining room, lounge, and library, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to cosy places to hang out. Long story short: we are already making plans for when we can come back next year!
