About this property

Early 1800's Bayfront Farmhouse

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.

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. This is a perfect get away for rest and relaxation and a chance to experience the magical shores of Maine.

Enchanting

Third time staying at this property: charming old house, many things to do on the property and within walking distance if you’re a nature lover, wildlife galore (a family of bald eagles lives across the bay…), and the owner’s are extremely helpful. My husband has had to make me leave each year we have visited, and the moment we get in the van to drive home, I start planning our next trip up. Thanks again for sharing your home with us Liz!

Great stay and beautiful view

We had a great stay here. The view was incredible!! We have family in the area so didn’t spend a lot of time at the house but when we were there it met all of our needs. My son (11) was thrilled to see bikes for him to borrow. Elizabeth was great to communicate with very thoughtful in prepping her home and the items available for us to use. Would stay her again.

Perfect Combination in Downeast Maine

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!

Beautiful older home and surroundings!

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.

An Authentic Maine Experience

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!

Old Farm House Lives up to its Name!

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.

The cosiest cottage in Maine!

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!

A quiet retreat

Elizabeth takes such pride in her property. We were greeted with a call from Elizabeth on the final miles to the quiet retreat from the world’s noise. Every last detail was covered. Approaching the property was a step back in time to a more simpler life. Everything is on the property. We especially enjoyed observing wild life in its natural environment. As we kayaked the bay we were surrounded by seals and birds of prey, happily showing off their catch. If you’re looking for a place that’s peaceful, clean, spacious and charming with easy access to nature, then this is it!!

Beautiful waterfront escape

FYI- Addison is all the way at the top of Maine close to Canada! We chose this property because of the beautiful old house and close waterfront. We forgot how big Maine is! The house is large and had more space than we needed but it was nice to spread out since we live in a dense and busy city. This property is wonderful for children, half of the books in the library are children's books and the kids took over the exercise room on the second floor as their living room while we were there. Our favorite part was the large rock ledge just across the (rarely used) road. The kids roasted hot dogs and marshmallows for s'mores over the fire. In the morning we watched seals fishing in the bay right in front of us! Elizabeth, the owner of the property called right before the stay to tell us where everything is, how to get in, and to answer any questions. She is great! We enjoyed our stay very much. Oh, and bring bug spray! Though, if you forget, Elizabeth has that ready for you too ;-)

Well Worth the Return Visit

This was our second time staying at the farmhouse. The house is kept in excellent condition, amenities are numerous, and the location is just perfect. We love that the kitchen is well stocked so we really didn't need to bring anything but food. The kayaks, canoe, bikes, and tubes were bonuses and put to good use. It is peaceful and a lovely place to stay.

Great property with a fantastic and communicative owner. Wonderfully equipped kitchen and a nice little grocery 3 minutes away makes it easy to cook in, especially considering how few dining options are nearby (a feature, not a demerit).

Amazing!

Our whole experience was fantastic! The house is amazing! The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking items you might need. There is a dishwasher! That was a game-changer for this vacation. And speaking of game changers, there is also a washer and dryer! That was a wonderful addition to the ease of traveling with kiddos. The property owners were great! Very communicative and sent us a very helpful list of things to know about the area. They also went above and beyond and made sure that some food staples were stocked, a stick of butter, salt, pepper, and lots of spices. It was so nice to know that we didn't need to pack or buy those items. There was also a great library, that also made for less packing as we didn't need to bring a stack of kids' books! The area was great! We kayaked right in the cove across the street and biked down the road, it's a nice 2 mile out and back mostly dirt road. The kids loved Sandy River Beach a 15-minute drive from the house. My one heads up would be if you are traveling with little kiddos the house has a set of stairs that might be problematic/hard to block off if needed. We were so sad to leave! And will definitely be back!

Wonderful house.

The house is old but has been modernized enough to be very comfortable while retaining the charm of an old house. The kitchen is totally modern--nice to have the dishwasher! The living room is lovely, as are the bedrooms. We didn't take advantage of all the amenities on offer, such as kayaking or swimming, but a younger group would love them. It's a great base for exploring Down East Maine. I loved hiking on Great Wass Island and Ingersoll Point, both recommended in the materials that came with the house. Liz, the property manager, called me the day before our stay to go over details and that worked very well. I had a chance to ask questions, and she also gave me her number in case we needed to reach her.
