About this farm stay rental
An elegant and beloved Island landmark, this classic Maine farmhouse commands magnificent, permanently-protected views of Seal Cove Pond, Western Mountain and Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island’s “Quietside.” Built by James Studley Powers, a sea captain, circa 1887, the house is a magnificent example of Victorian architecture—spacious and light-filled, with high ceilings and wood floors, two carved fireplace mantels and many other original details. The Farm at Seal Cove Pond is an unusual combination of charm, refinement and comfort; formerly the working farm that produced the Seal Cove Farm goat cheese, it has today the feel of a tranquil estate.
The period timber frame barn borders fields of wildflowers and raised gardens. There is a shaded terrace for outdoor dining, which includes a grill, table with benches, and 7 adirondak chairs. Five acres of fields, lawn and woods contain lovely walking paths, blueberry and raspberry bushes, pear and apple trees, ornamental shrubs, and many varieties of hardy evergreens and hardwood trees.
The additional 6 acres on Seal Cove Pond is a birder’s paradise for viewing eagles, ospreys, great blue herons, owls, hawks, and red-winged black birds, among many other species. Directly across the Pond lies Acadia National Park with all it has to offer for natural beauty and recreation: the sunrise over Western Mountain, the call of loons, and boundless opportunities for hiking, kayaking, canoeing, paddle-boarding, swimming, fishing, and star gazing.
The sparkling waters of Blue Hill Bay are less than 5 minutes away, easily accessed by a public dock and boat-launch at Seal Cove. Southwest Harbor and Bass Harbor—15 minutes by car—offer a wide variety of shopping and restaurants, including Thurston’s Lobster Pound, in a quintessential Maine harbor setting.
Conveniently located but private and peaceful, The Farm at Seal Cove Pond is a property ideal for all ages and interests—a rare opportunity to treasure a piece of Maine’s heritage in a stunning farm setting.
Seal Cove Pond encompasses 283 acres, and is stocked with brown trout, small mouthed bass, and pickerel. The ponds eastern shore is Acadia National Park, and there is access from both the edge of the property, as well as from Acadia, via a park road.
The Bangor Daily News recently published an article on the Farmhouse Titled "Built by a sea captain, full of light".

This was our fifth stay at the farmhouse and we can’t say enough about this home! To e location on the quiet side is fantastic and the house and grounds give everyone space. 3 full bathrooms and a half downstairs is amazing! Marc is great to deal with- very communicative and answers all questions in a timely fashion. The kitchen is well appointed and we used the grill and picnic table for meals. Close to SW Harbor and Thurstons and the lighthouse. Can’t wait to come back!

This was the such a charming and quintessential New England farmhouse. We absolutely loved our stay here. It was nice being on the quiet side of the island. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relaxing after hiking all day. We will recommend this farmhouse to any of our friends looking for a place to stay while visiting Acadia.

My family and I give a 5-Star Rating to the Seal Cove Farmhouse, located in Tremont, Maine. We spent 10 days there in September and just returned from our Mt. Desert Island, Maine Vacation a week ago. From the first moment that we drove up to the Seal Cove Farmhouse owned by Marc and his family, we were very impressed with this historic property. The late1800's restored Seal Cove Farmhouse's exterior is beautiful, and it's interior is, also, very lovely. We felt completely at home as soon as we entered the Farmhouse and began exploring its many rooms attractively decorated in a appealing nautical theme. My three family members and I each enjoyed having the privacy of our own 2nd floor bedrooms. Each bedroom sported a pleasant view of the pretty grounds surrounding the Farmhouse. The three full baths on the 2nd floor afforded us great convenience whether we were getting ready to begin our tours for the day or were getting ready to retire for the night. Downstairs we took advantage of the well-organized kitchen outfitted with all the china, glassware, cutlery, cooking utensils, pots and pans necessary to enable us to prepare our breakfasts and all other meals we decided to make at the Farmhouse. We looked forward to coming back to the Farmhouse every evening after our day trips exploring Acadia National Park and MDI knowing that we could relax and recharge in the comfortable sofas in the living room, catch up on emails with our laptops at the big eating table, or watch a movie or favoriite TV show on the big screen TV in the TV room next to the kitchen. We quickly felt the big Farmhouse was our "home away from home" and the headquarters where we planned each day's activities. It's location on the Quiet Side of MDI, several miles away from the busy tourist center of Bar Harbor, gave us the tranquility we relished after an active day of sightseeing around MDI. The Farmhouse's peaceful, homey atmosphere contributed to a renewal of energy for the following day's adventures. We would highly recommend staying at the Seal Cove Farmhouse to any visitors to MDI who are seeking a delightful refuge from which to launch their tours of the Island and to which they can return to unwind in a cozy, comfortable, and very charming abode.
