It is a five minute walk to nearby scenic Morgan Bay, very close to hiking trails, biking and swimming. Acadia National Park is about 45 minutes away. The farm offers a seasonal performing arts center featuring classical, jazz, singer songwriter and blues series among others. Few rental spaces offer all of this in a ten-minute radius. Pets: Dogs and cats are welcome, but you must contact me in advance so we can discuss details. Upon approval, there is an additional cleaning fee of $50.00 for the one pet or $80 for two pets. The fee for the first pet is included in your VRBO total. If bringing more than one pet, the additional pet fee is payable in cash at checkout. Stays longer than 7 days will need to discuss possible additional pet cleaning fees with the host. Please note that many animals live near the property and frequently walk through it (such as deer, wild turkeys, neighbors' cats, etc.) A porcupine lives under one of the barns, so we recommend keeping dogs on a leash when outside to avoid injury. Late arrivals after 9:00 PM are subject to a late fee of $25.00. Additional guests: For more than 2 guests, there is an additional fee of $25 per guest per night.

As for the “apartment with a view” - your view most likely will be other guests grilling just a few feet from your bedroom window on what turns out to be a communal deck, or sitting at the fire ring in front of the apartment with the smoke wafting inside. On the very hot, muggy nights I was there I had to close my windows (and, for privacy, my blinds). ##### Jacquie L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Johns Q.

Sep 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyably Rustic and Peaceful A good base camp for visiting the Acadia National Park area without the maddening crowds.. we enjoyed the 45 minute drive each way to/from the Acadia NP area... light traffic on the 2-lane highways/roadways to Ellsworth made this a nice way to start and finish each day. But, be sure you stock up on snacks/food to cook because you won't find any nearby restaurants - and that's what makes it such a great location! It's definitely a more rustic interior than your typical hotel/motel but that's part of the charm. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and utensils, etc. and the overall open layout is very "loft" like. We really enjoyed the location and the host is welcoming and informative - they've been in the area for decades and are a great resource. ##### Michael H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah P. Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Quiet respite The property was as rustic as promised, including the mice (!). Views of Acadia, when we could see through the mist, were lovely. Alan was responsive when we discovered a plumbing problem for which he worked out a solution. We would encourage him to update the listing to NOT include an oven. We chose this listing because it offered a full kitchen. Also, the overall rules list would benefit from updated Wifi information. And there were few back-up supplies. Although we were directed to use any toiletries, the bathroom cupboard was empty. That written, the bed and futon were amazingly comfortable, and our stay, overall, was pleasant. ##### Sarah P. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeane S. Sep 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Surry Barn Apartment The apartment was not as it appeared in VRBO photos. The pics must have been taken by a professional photographer when you compare the actual place to the “apartment.” It was clean but extremely rustic - and perhaps this is ok with some. The smell is very musty perhaps because this is an actual renovated barn. There are three apartments in this barn which could also make it very noisy at times. Views are not as portrayed. However, the host, Alan, was very friendly and we enjoyed meeting him. ##### Jeane S. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Marcie V. Aug 25, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Not what we expected We did not end up staying here because of the quality of the room. The carpet was wet, it was smaller than expected, and the entryway was dirty and had cobwebs. Despite my filing out the form for 5 adults, the owner was surprised we had adults. He did promptly offer us a refund, but we ended up spending double on a last-minute hotel room because of the change. ##### Marcie V.
