About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gorgeous Oceanfront Property with amazing views of Acadia National Park

Two floors that can be completely independent - perfect for an extended family!

Your jaw will drop when you come to the end of the driveway and look out over the ocean to the view of Acadia. The entire property is called Main Stay, and this house is known as 'The Barn', but don't be fooled by it's name. This building has been lovingly cared for and recently renovated, with every comfort in mind. Each floor has 1,000 square feet of living space.

What makes this rental so unique is the way it is configured. Each floor can be used as an entirely separate unit, because each has a full kitchen, bath, sleeping, dining, and living area. There are three separate sleeping areas with very comfortable beds. The Barn at Mainstay can easily accommodate three couples, with two fold out sofa beds with brand new mattresses that are great for kids. The property would be ideal for two families traveling together, or for extended families. One favorite feature that brings lots of comments is the antique cast iron sink in the kitchen.

Great stay on the coast of Maine
We had a wonderful time staying at The Barn. Oak Point is a nice, quiet spot on the doorstep to MDI. Perfect for making day trips to Acadia NP, Bar Harbor, or even the quiet side of the island! The Barn is also a very comfortable spot to just hang out and relax with amazing views of the mountains of MDI over the water views of the Western Bay of the Mt Desert Narrows. Perfect spot to launch our paddle boards with plenty of wildlife (birds, deer, seals!) viewing.

Great location for Acadia vacation
We had a great stay at the Barn! Our family of 5 stayed there comfortably. The location of the home is gorgeous on its own and about a 30 minute drive to Bar Harbor or Seal Harbor. It’s very relaxing to sit and watch the activity in the water out front. We were fortunate to spot a seal or two every day. Bring binoculars with you! We also brought kayaks along and were able to use them right from the shore. The water was calm as glass most mornings then too rough to use them from an onshore ore breeze usually by afternoon. Our hosts were onsite in a neighboring home which was nice if we needed anything (which we really didn’t - everything was provided in the home!) The layout is a little quirky so pay attention to the listing. There are ample places to sleep but only one private bedroom and only 2 “real” mattresses - the others are pull-out couch or futon type beds in common areas. There are plenty of pillows, towels and sheets and 2 sets of washers and dryers, though when we visited the front loading washer on the first floor had quite a mold odor. The first floor kitchen is very well supplied! It had all the cookware we have at home and more. The closest big grocery store is about 20 minutes away but there was a smaller store in Trenton about 12 minutes or so away. There is also a kitchen on the second floor that we didn’t use. The balcony upstairs has 2 nice chairs on it since the photos were taken. Very nice to sit out and enjoy the view. Lovely home!

Perfect Acadia getaway
My wife and I are just back from 10 days at Liz’s place. The location of the house could not better! Direct water front with views of Acadia but away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. The house was very clean upon arrival. Check-in could not have been easier. The house has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. There were only 2 of us but the house is huge. Definitely enough space for several people. It’s only 20 minutes to Acadia and Bar Harbor but you feel like you’re hundreds of miles from civilization; seclusion with convenience. I highly recommend this rental and would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect Maine Getaway
My family (husband, myself, and 3 adult sons ages 19, 22, 26) had our first week long vacation in years. I chose the perfect state, the perfect region, the perfect time of year, and the perfect place to stay. This home provided plenty of space for my adult family. There are 2 floors, 2 kitchens, 2 bathrooms, 1 bedroom with a comfy king sized bed, and living areas with Murphy beds. The second floor has a balcony with an incredible view of Acadia National Park across the water. The yard has a fire pit, which we used many nights. Plenty of room to play games and do puzzles and watch baseball games together. It was truly one of the best vacations we ever had together!

Certainly one of our best vacations as a Family. You just cant beat this place. Fantastic views, extremely relaxing and it affords you the flexibility to spend quality time with your family. Kayaking right out your backdoor with seals and porpoises. Just unbelievable. Liz and Mike are so friendly and thier local knowledge was key to great food and adventure. Highly recommended this place!!!

Our family of 5 with dog had a wonderful stay! Best views of western bay and mountains of Mount Desert. The large rock by the shoreline was a great place to star gaze and watch the sunrise. We are able to launch our kayaks off the shoreline to watch the sunset and visit Black island across the water. Kitchen also had everything we needed to cook at home. Comfortable, clean, spacious with lovely gardens. Would definitely consider coming back here when we are visiting Acadia again. Thank you to the friendly hosts for allowing us to rent this special place!

Beautiful Views
We enjoyed our stay. The house worked for our family of 10 despite the lack of formal bedrooms except for one. The views of Acadia from the house were absolutely incredible. Everyone loved being able to walk right down to the water and explore the shore. We drove to Bar Harbor and Acadia every day to enjoy the park and enjoyed the fire pit and a supermoon over Acadia at night. We would love to return someday.

Terrific property
This property has everything - stunning views, great location, super amenities, and terrific hosts. Be advised that there is only one private bedroom - the remainder of the beds are Murphy beds (both very comfortable) and sofa pull outs (didn’t need those), but the living areas and bathrooms are great. The kitchen is as well-stocked with utensils and cookware as home. Highly recommend this property.

Wonderful setting to recharge
We had a fantastic week at the Barn. The setting is over the top beautiful. Liz and Mike were excellent hosts and clearly take great pride in their gardens and property. They met us upon arrival and gave us a quick orientation to the space. We felt instantly at home. Beautiful kitchen with a huge table to gather. Good condition cookware, accessories and sharp knives. Beds were comfy with plenty of linens. Loved the little things, like access to washers and dryers, fans in the bedrooms, coasters on the bedside tables and vacuums charged and ready if needed. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets by the water, fire pits and kayaks in the bay. Great location that was close enough to Bar Harbor and great restaurants and activities, but away from the crowds. Will definitely consider renting here again! Thanks Liz!

Can’t pick a better spot
It all starts at the driveway. It’s about a 1/4 mile long and winds through the trees. You get to the end and there is the house and that view! We loved the open downstairs concept and Liz’s fantastic kitchen. Oh and the view from the double sliding doors. The fire pit area is beautiful and surrounded by a beautiful perennial garden. It felt like each day something new was in bloom. Our kids commandeered the upstairs for the first week of our vacation so we didn’t get to take full advantage of the upper deck which included visits from a humming bird. And the view! Did I mention that? The location of the house in Trenton is perfect. Far enough out of the hub-bub to feel secluded, but close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor that we made several trips in. Also close to Ellsworth for shopping for necessities. The Schoodic area of Acadia isn’t too far away either and definitely a much see. The only thing to note for those traveling with pets is there is a pet addenda which adds a fee per week per dog that is not mentioned in the description of the property. We had our three dogs with us for two weeks so it added up. Still much less than having them stay at a kennel but a cost to consider. Knowing about the fee in advance would not have changed our minds about staying at the barn and I hope it doesn’t change yours either.

We enjoyed our stay at the barn. It was peaceful, yet Bar Harbor and Acadia were still a short drive by car. The owner was great at communicating, and we are thankful for that. It’s not really a 3 bedroom as listed, but it worked fine our our 2 families.

Absolutely Beautiful
I cannot say enough on how we enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly what we needed and its all about location, location, location. Perfect in every way. We had white tail deer walk right up to the patio door along with a pair of turkeys. Bald Eagles flying along the shore, porpoise searching for food and loons every day. Acadia National Park only 20 minutes away and we took advantage of that every day. Scenery was absolutely breathtaking....fall colors were in their prime and everywhere you looked it was like a "post card." We already decided we would like to come back in the summer and experience some different adventures in the area. Thank you so much for having a wonderful place available for rent.

The view was everything we had hoped for!
We had a great week at the Red Barn!Our group ranged in age from my 72 year old mother to my 5 year old niece and we all enjoyed the house and yard so much. We loved seeing porpoises and seals swim by and watching the tide come in and out and then searching the shore for sea creatures. It's not a bad drive into Acadia- we went most days and loved it!! There is only one bedroom and other beds are in the living areas but there is an upstairs and downstairs living area and an upstairs and downstairs bathroom so it worked ok for our group. I had a couple of questions when we arrived and they were promptly responded to by Liz. We had a great trip and would love to return someday in fall!!

Absolutely Beautiful & Clean
We really enjoyed our stay at the "Barn". The home is beautifully situated on a very large body of water. I think it is called Mt. Desert Narrows. We saw boats, kayakers, and a harbor seal that came by two consecutive evenings. My children loved the shoreline and the beautiful "table rock". The home has a beautiful drive in through a wooded forest. Very close to all the attractions. The owners are fabulous and made us feel welcome. The interior is stocked with everything. The unit has a separate bedroom upstairs with a king bed. Also, upstairs is a living area with a full kitchen. You will find a pull out couch and murphy bed upstairs too. Downstairs has a gas fireplace and remodeled decor. It has a classic nautical New England feel. I highly recommend and would love to come back and stay. My mother-in-law approved. Thank you Liz.

Great house. Amazing view. The nicest owner!
We attempted a trip to Maine with an almost 4 month old and 8 month old. Our friends and us like to hike so we figured we would take our babies on their first trip to a National Park and thought the best way would be to rent a house. This house was perfect for us. It had two of everything...laundry, bathrooms, kitchens so we were able to feel like we were each on our own family vacations yet still able to enjoy eachothers company doing daily hikes, making breakfast and having fantastic dinners with all the lobster rolls we could find. It is so lovely to be able to walk straight down to the water and see the sunset at night and wake up watching the sun rise from the top deck! So so beautiful. We also found a resident Porcupine who lives in the tree just a bit up the driveway! :) On our way home, I realized I forgot my engagement ring and my grandmothers ring at the house. I quickly contacted Liz and she immediately had someone check if the rings were there. She then stayed in contact with me until she could get them in her possession and shipped them to me overnight. She is quite an amazing person! Thank you thank you! We so loved the house and if we do another trip to Acadia National Park, we will be back!

Wonderful getaway near MDI!
My husband and I have visited the MDI area three times in the last eight years. We enjoy it more with each successive stay. The Barn is the perfect location to get away from the heat and hustle and bustle of everyday life. Pretty much everything is easily accessible from this location. We rented kayaks and paddled right off the shore of the property into Western Bay. We were with 2 other couples (all of us celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary this year), and the Barn was the perfect setting for us. We toasted s'mores every night by the fire pit and enjoyed the star-filled skies. We had everything we needed. My only note is that while the Barn is listed as a 3 bedroom unit, technically there's only one bedroom. Fortunately we are all good enough friends that this lack of privacy wasn't a huge issue, but just a head's up. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the sounds of the bay waters enhanced this idyllic setting. Both bathrooms are large and it was wonderful having two washer/dryers and two coffee makers. The kitchen/dining combo made for a splendid cooking/dining experience. Thank you, Liz, for allowing us to rent and enjoy your little piece of paradise!
