It was a clean and historical property that has been thoughtfully renovated. The grassy area in the front is perfect for yard games and relaxation. The owners were extremely thoughtful and considerate. They even prepared a fire and welcomed us with s'mores supplies and other local treats. We will be returning! ##### Drew G.

Hot water would run out after a few showers though and upstairs bedrooms ran a bit warm for July nights but doable with the windows, fans and window ac units. Wish there was a little more outside accommodations as our group of 6 were a little crowded around the one table for 4. Would recommend to others ##### Rosemary R.

Kate and Dennis have thought of absolutely everything a traveler might need from extra beach towels and bedding, to all the cooking spices and extras, right down to a first aid kit and pain killers left in the bathroom. They were responsive immediately for any issues and live close which came in handy when I could not figure out how to get the door to lock. They are thoughtful and considerate hosts, and this house was perfect for our group of 7 (family of 4, two grandparents, and one adult aunt). ##### Julie S.

It’s a beautiful house , very comfortable and charming. It is located close to the downtown area but is in a quiet setting. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and the downstairs area is spacious and gave us plenty of room to spend time together . The house is large enough to also get away from people when needed, lol. I brought a croquet game and we played in the yard and sat outside and enjoyed the patio—it was perfect. We had a problem with the door lock initially, but Dennis came to the house and helped us immediately. All in all-a perfect family reunion in a wonderful setting.

The architectural details, historical significance and luxurious appointments throughout made this house an exceptional backdrop for our time in Blue Hill. The gourmet kitchen with oversized island and top of the line appliances made meal prep so much fun and was fully stocked with everything a chef could ask for. The kitchen opened to the great room which was beautifully furnished and so comfortable for gathering with family. The barn wood floors were glistening with the sunlight that streamed through the Palladian windows. The bathrooms were all beautiful with marble topped vanities and classic period tiles. Sumptuous! We enjoyed barbequing on the bluestone patio and tossing a ball in the yard overlooking the picturesque wooded lot. All in all it was a 10+ experience and we highly recommend Barn Owl. The owners thought of every little detail to ensure an exceptional stay for their guests. The house was immaculately kept, beautifully decorated, and centrally located in town. Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place to stay. ##### Laura B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer K.

This was a great way to be near our Maine family and also have the feeling of a luxurious vacation home in one of the best areas of Maine. The house is walking distance to the library (with a great children's room!) and all of Blue Hill's shops including Out on a Whimsey Toys, as well as the Town Park, which has a lovely playground and small swimming beach. We saw the weekly summer Flash in the Pans steel drum performance, drove to Brooksville for pizza night at Tinder Hearth, and went hiking along Harriman Point in Brooklin ... then enjoyed short drives back to the house for naptime/bedtime. The house itself has everything you need to settle in and feel at home -- the kitchen tools and appliances are very high quality, and we grilled/cooked a birthday dinner for my mom and felt like we were in our own kitchen! The large downstairs sitting areas are great for meals, games, and family time, and the second floor can easily be a "kid zone" with its own game table (and great game selection!), couch, TV, and built-in twin beds. Our toddler slept in the quiet third-floor bedroom, and even though it is far from the first-floor primary bedroom, the baby monitor signal was able to reach our room (a separate bathroom and additional trundle bed on this floor would also make it great for grandparents, more kids, etc.) Thank you, Kate and Dennis, we hope to return next summer! ##### Jennifer K.
