About this house rental
Welcome to your vacation home - a barn style summer home on Broad Cove near the ferry. Imagine yourself relaxing on the deck at the end of a busy day while your kids entertain themselves on the lawn and in the field leading to the cove. On the shore is a rocky beach and deep water anchorage (w/heavy mooring). The waterfront includes the use of a dinghy and a float. Or, on cooler days, curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book (well stocked library) while you look out through the french doors.
On the first floor, you will enjoy an open living room w/fireplace, dining room, kitchen. which is well supplied and includes the basic food needs: salt, pepper, flour, sugar, lobster pot, etc. Or, move your meals outdoors for al fresco dining on the deck. There is a half bath on the first floor.
On the second floor, the master bedroom includes a queen sized bed with down comforter, the second has twin beds and and the third has bunk beds. A full bath, well supplied with linens(including swimming towels), has full amenties including a washer and dryer.The playroom includes VCR, DVD player and plenty of tapes and discs. No TV reception, sorry! The loft has a ladder and a wonderful hang-out for the kids or air mattress for sleeping.
Getting to Islesboro is part of the enchantment of this island - you arrive by car ferry which leaves frequently from Lincolnville Beach. This is definitely a summer cottage with a get-away-from-the-world feeling. You will find the comforts of home without the hassle of the work-a-day world. However, you will have connection with wifi and phone.
Islesboro is ten miles long and a mile wide. It offers two grocery stores(w/liquor), a library, bookstore, gift/paper/lunch store and the snack shack at the ferry. You will also find a golf club, public tennis courts and also a kids sailing program. Biking is great - especially to the snack shack which is only 1/4 mile from the house and offering the best sunsets in Maine!
A day trip to Camden, Fort Knox in Bucksport or even antiquing along Rte. 1 will round out your vacation in Maine.

Our stay was perfect! The pictures do not do the location justice. The view to the water is wonderful. The barn is exactly as pictured and very comfortable. The island has wonderful walks and the stores have what you need! Would love to come back.

Our family of 4 spent a week at Roger and Maddie's place. We absolutely loved it. Great location near the ferry, plenty of privacy, space for our dog to run around and a great view of the water and access to a beach. The barn house is a work of art and such a delightful space to relax. It's incredibly well furnished and appointed. Roger was super responsive and very helpful educating us about the island and sites to see. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

This was our 3rd trip to Maine. Each time we stayed in a different area to explore everything the state has to offer. Islesboro and the Barn did not disappoint!
The hosts were AMAZING. Loved hearing their story and the story of the Barn. Plenty of space, all the amenities we needed, all on a beautiful property. We had the fireplace going every night. Keep in mind you're in Maine, on an island, surrounded by the woods, so it has that vibe, but the stars, the full moon, all wonderful.
The material the hosts sent beforehand was very helpful. We scheduled the ferry as they suggested and had no issues going back and forth to the mainland, although we spent as most of our time on the island itself. They have 2 well-stocked stores on the island, just be mindful that they close early.
Plenty of hiking trials, and the beach on the southern end of the island was a favorite of the family (and the dog). We were at the end of the season so some of the Dark Harbor shops were closed, but we expected that so it wasn't an issue.
Overall, it was a great trip and a great experience!
