The Old Maine Barn - Near Acadia & Bar Harbor

Welcome to your Maine getaway — a beautifully restored 1900s barn just a short drive from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, making it the perfect home base for exploring some of the most beautiful places on the Maine coast. Located in the heart of Ellsworth, this unique home combines historic charm, modern comfort, and easy access to Downeast Maine’s most loved destinations.

Full of character, this thoughtfully reimagined space blends historic barn details and contemporary style with vaulted barn-beam ceilings, open-concept living spaces, modern décor, and carefully chosen antique touches. It feels airy, cozy, and memorable all at once — the kind of place that makes your stay feel special from the moment you arrive.

Perfectly situated in downtown Ellsworth, the home offers the best of both worlds: a convenient in-town location with restaurants, cafés, shops, the Union River, and local trails all nearby, while still feeling private and relaxing. It is also located right beside a park and playground, making it especially ideal for families traveling with children or guests bringing pets.

Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park, Schoodic Peninsula, Belfast, and many other charming seaside towns are all just a short drive away. Ellsworth truly is the crossroads of Downeast Maine, making it an excellent base for discovering the region. Within about 30 minutes, you can enjoy ocean cliffs, beaches, apple orchards, blueberry barrens, mountain hikes, scenic drives, wooded walks, pristine lakes, and coastal villages full of Maine charm.

Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 4 beds (one of which is a pull-out couch), along with a bright, open living area designed for gathering and unwinding after a day of adventure. The upstairs bedrooms are open to the roofline, showcasing the beautiful original barn structure and adding to the home’s one-of-a-kind feel. Multiple gas fireplaces add a cozy touch for cooler evenings, while the washer and dryer make longer stays easy and convenient.

Step outside and you’ll find one of the property’s best surprises: a beautifully fenced backyard and patio that offers privacy while still keeping you close to the energy of town. Enjoy quiet mornings with coffee outside, relaxed evenings around the fire pit, summer dinners on the patio, or a casual drink at the outdoor bar and stools. There is also a barbecue grill for easy meals at home.

Well-behaved pets are welcome, so your four-legged family members can enjoy the adventure too. With a fenced yard and a park right next door, this home makes traveling with pets feel especially easy and enjoyable.

Whether you're planning a family vacation, a couples’ trip, a getaway with friends, or an Acadia adventure, this restored barn offers a truly unique place to relax, recharge, and enjoy the best of coastal Maine.
