70 Oceanfront acres! 5B/3B Farmhouse on Newbury Neck-Sleeps 10. Fireplace, pets!

Come enjoy Acadia National Park, pick wild blueberries, swim and kayak!

'Maine Stay Cottage' is located on a 9 mile slender peninsula on 'Newbury Neck' in the beautiful Blue Hill and Acadia region.

Maine Stay offers you a private sandy beach on the rear of the property which is accessed by a lovely wooded trail.

The front of the property has stunning views of Acadia National Park and water access for walking, kayaking or swimming, not to mention blueberry picking! The night skies are amazing especially in the cooler fall weather.

Maine Stay is bordered by Union River Bay to the East, and Morgan and Blue Hill Bay to the West.

With more than 70 acres, 'Maine Stay' is one of the few properties that run the full width of the peninsula, with private oceanfront access to each shoreline!

Pack your lunch and enjoy long walks through the forested path to the backside of the property where you will end up on Morgan/Blue Hill Bay overlooking Blue Hill Mountain and Jed Island, a favorite place for seals. Pick wild blackberries along the way for a sweet treat after swimming and beach combing on your own private beach!

'Maine Stay' is a 5 bedroom, 3 full bath Farmhouse Cottage that is the perfect place to call home while you discover the Blue Hill Peninsula and the magnificent Acadia National Park.

Enjoy the sweeping views of Union River Bay in the front of the cottage and Morgan/Blue Hill Bay from the back of the property. A most unique property with lush, open ocean views and fields of dreams to explore!

Beach-comb, swim or rent a kayak and explore the coast.
Relax on the open air screened front porch watching sailboats and lobster boats drift by and see the sun coming up over the mountains.

Maine Stay will offer you, your family and friends a place to make memories which will last a lifetime.
Because there is lots of open land, we also allow small events, weddings and family reunions. Enjoy the magnificent views while making memories for your special event.

A nice interior renovation was completed in the spring of 2022 along with a new roof and windows. We reinvest our rental dollars into Maine Stay each winter/spring so we can offer you a lovely place to call home while visiting.

Our weeks run "Saturday to Saturday" with a 7 night minimum.

If you would like to bring your pup, they are welcomed visitors (with a 100.00 'per pet' fee).
We allow up to 2 pups maximum. Pups must be up to date on vaccinations and on flea and tick meds.

We have a Pack n' Play and a highchair for your little one.

Please note: We only offer 'full' weeks during peak summer months (Mid June - Mid September) but we may have some flexibility in early or late season for arrival and departure days. (It must however be between and Saturday and Saturday)

We will send you a simple rental agreement once you have booked.
This will have all the particulars of the cottage; our name and address, what our responsibilities are, etc.
We will email it to you shortly after you book a reservation.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns and we will get back to you quickly.

(FYI: All bedrooms will have new mattresses for the 2025 season)

We look forward to having you!

***Should something unforeseen happen with your plans and you are unable to visit, we suggest you consider purchasing (reasonably priced) VRBO trip insurance in the event you have to cancel during the no-refund period***

Beautiful & peaceful location
The home is a classic, Maine home with a large wraparound porch that overlooks the bay. We had several sunny mornings we watched the sunrise over the bay, just beautiful! The house was well equipped with the amenities you need for your stay. It was such a quiet & peaceful place.

Family get-away with a view!
We gathered family from 3 cities in this lovely, quiet farm house with ocean views. We could hike and kayak (with rental) from the property. And star gaze! It was wonderful! Groceries and restaurants and everything is about a 20-30 minute drive, but that's why it's quiet and the air is clean and you can see the stars!

Memorable stay!
We loved our vacation at Maine Stay! Our family made memories that will last a lifetime. The historic home is so special, and on a beautiful piece of property with breathtaking views. It is very well equipped and had everything we needed or wanted. We loved hiking the property and exploring both sides - our 3 and 5 year old, as well as their grandparents, were able to make it out to the far side which was a highlight of our trip. We viewed incredible sunrises, kayaked, enjoyed lobster dinners, and sat around the campfire. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Our Maine Stay
We loved the house and property! Beautiful view from the porch. We had adequate room for the family and the grandchildren loved exploring the paths and beach. We wished we had more sunny than cloudy days but the Maine weather did not deter us. Our hosts were super and very responsive and we were especially appreciative of Jenni and Bill’s surprise ride!!!

Pure beauty and relaxation
This property is amazing. The home itself is beautiful the accommodations were wonderful the size of the home made it so that we weren’t all on top of each other because, there was just so much room. The outdoors we set up games in the front yard overlooking the beautiful waterfront it was an amazing fabulous view in the day and night. We use the outdoor fire pit had marshmallows got warm at the fire. We enjoyed also sitting in the screened in porch one night, it was a little buggy nothing out of the ordinary but that was beautiful with a wonderful swing and very comfortable furniture to sit on while we were in the screen in porch. We all enjoyed it so very much. The front yard was just a wonderful place for the family together and play corn hole and badminton and so many other out door sports. One beautiful day we went to the beach in front of the Property with the kids and the kids saw so many starfish. We were all amazed, none of us had ever seen them in the water before. They were everywhere when we went down to the beachfront which is a pretty good walk, but still it was very beautiful to walk through the fields to get there. We also walked to the pond behind the house and it was so nice to enjoy the walk through beautiful nature paths to get there. We enjoyed every day with much joy of family. Beautiful!! Thank you so much for the use of your wonderful home. The Benton’s

Fun Farmhouse
We enjoyed our stay, plenty of room indoors and out to spread out' the screened porch was a popular spot. If you get up early enough you will see wildlife on the property. Everything was clean and worked as it should. Keep in mind the house is an old farmhouse so don't expect perfection. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend especially if you enjoy peace and quite. The one thing I would ask the owners to do is install a larger TV.

Great location, house not so much
We loved sitting on the front porch, looking at the wonderful view and lounging in front of the fireplace at night. It's also convenient for visiting Blue Hill and Bar Harbor, and Perry's up the road is a huge plus -- best lobster ever. But the photos/reviews did not prepare us for the "used" condition of the interior. Yes, there are lots of pots and plates and games and books, etc., but also peeling wallpaper everywhere, stained showers, warped doors and an overall impression that not much has been done inside for a very long time. A big family group with kids and dogs might not care about that because of the roominess and beach access, but we (older folks) felt it wouldn't feel clean and comfortable no matter how much you worked at it, just too beat up. This old house has seen a lot of summer living, not enough reno (for us).

Summary of our stay
This property had some good features and some not so good ones: It was an attractive older house with plenty of land around it, a very quiet neighborhood, with an accessible waterfront, and relatively close proximity (45miles by car) to Acadia National Park. The negatives about the property were: the state of finishes inside--Wall and trim paint and wallpaper was aging and needing upgrading. A deep cleaning was also needed--dirt in corners, stains on counters, etc. were noticed. Also, we rented the house so as to be close to water, but the property's waterfront was a much longer walk away than the listing implied. The closest restaurant was about 3 miles away--no problem, but the next closest one was probably 10 miles away.

Lovely balance
If you are looking for a quiet, secluded property with plenty of easy access to outdoor activities but still a manageable drive (around 1 hour) to Acadia and bigger cities, this is the place. It is great for young kids because the house is spacious and there are areas to play in the yard and large porch, you can do an easy walk to the "front shore" or wildflower meadow, or a more adventurous hike to the "back shore." We rented kayaks and paddle boards for the week and enjoyed them (though the water was often a bit choppy for the paddle boards). We drove to Acadia to hike on two occasions (including 1/2 day in Bar Harbor), went to Blue Hill for dinner and shopping once, and otherwise mostly remained at the house and were never bored. Laura, the host, was very responsive to any questions, gave me detailed recommendations when requested, and even helped to inform neighbors when we had a missing dog. We will definitely be coming back!

first of the season
We had a wonderful time! Lots of information(albeit out of date), games, toys, movies VCR!!!!, fireplace huge washer and dryer and a great meadow out front. The walk to the beach was boggie (we had to purchase boots next toRemy?(?))Towels and sheets s were clean and new (?!) we all noticed upon leaving that the mattress covers were in need of a wash as were the blankets. I found the place to be welcoming and ready for our family. It was great that it wasn't overly fancy and had all that we needed. I will say that perhaps we were the first of the renters this year and an after winter cleaning was in order. There was a dead mouse under the king bed, and the internet was not yet connected for the summer and a new router was required. I had said several times that 3 of my children needed to work during our vacation. A bit more attention to these issues would have been in order. all the internet issues were quickly resolved and I appreciate that. Thank you for my R&R-I totally needed i!.

Atmospheric farmhouse, lovely area
Our group of 9 seniors had a fine time at Maine Stay. Despite a few hitches, the spacious, well-equipped farmhouse was comfortable and welcoming, and our high spirits could not be dampened even by a few days of rain and fog. The  peninsula is well off the tourist track and we enjoyed peace and privacy when not out taking advantage of area trails and coastal walks. The Maine coast dressed in fall colors provided a glorious respite, and we enjoyed visits to Deer Isle and Stonington, Blue Hill, Castine, Cape Rosier and MDI. Laura and Jenni were quickly responsive to our needs, and their recommendations for Perry's Lobster and Pugnutz were spot on. A delightful getaway at a lovely spot, much enjoyed by all.

Old Cottage with the Basics
Our first family vacation since 2013 with 8 adults & 2 small kids (5 and almost 2). The property owner was very responsive to all our needs and requests up to and during our stay. At one point we lost power due to a dump truck taking out a telephone pole and she was almost immediate finding out what happened, sending the neighbors over with flashlight/candle, and expected return to power. The house was perfectly set up for the kids and the number of bathrooms/space. Plenty of room to cook/grill dinner. My favorite was having coffee on the porch together in the morning watching the sun come up.

The location is so perfect if you are looking for a remote Maine getaway in a beautiful and relaxing place. Hard to beat the views and the large/comfortable layout of the house and property. Perfect for biking, (rentals can be delivered from Blue Hill), running, walking, and hanging out on the beach near the property. A ton of space for cooking and hanging out outside. Enough space for our family of five to be very comfortably and enjoyably for a week, even with some of us working remotely (note the internet also works well). We definitely hope to come back!
