Close enough to things and a peaceful setting. The Emery Farm stand is amazing! A walk down the driveway. Everything is fresh and delicious. Two nights we ordered cooked lobster from Taylor's Lobster and got fresh veggies to roast from the farm stand. David was available for questions but not at all intrusive. was a perfect stay. ##### laura j.

Fantastic experience staying at the carriage house on Emery Farm- what a delight! A few things that made this place stand out: - Awesome fire pit! We did s’mores two nights - Short walk on the farm to get great coffee every morning - Beds- ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ - Quiet area/ so much history on this farm! ##### maggie e.

It was my wife, and our two kids, ages 2 and 5\. The house itself is well appointed. The setting is tranquil and beautiful, with an incredible old barn out the window in one direction and a large open field bordered by forest in the other. It is a quick walk on a trail to the farm and cafe next door. ##### Andy M.

Working farm was not a distraction, proximity to farmer’s market and cafe a plus. “Secret” swimming location known to host was one of the favorite attractions for our family. ##### Peter Z.

Did not want the hotel scene. This was perfect. We had time to relax and close to rehearsal dinner venue and barn for wedding 5 miles away. Loved the food at the farm stand. Pot pie was awesome. ##### Lisa B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### billy r. 7 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Very steep steps not noted. Owner aware that all 4 of us were in our 80's. We would NOT return. Misrepresented baths and VERY steep stairs. We were 2 couples celebrating our 60th wedding anniversaries (in our 80's). Bath upstairs not usable...too hard to get in and out of with slanted ceiling so you could not stand. The living room is small, one TV in living area and only room for 3 to watch and to eat at the kitchen table. Not condusive for more than 3 people. Owners nice but should have informed us of the steep steps and basically only 1 1/2 baths. He knew our ages and the fact that one of us was suffering from vertigo and the steps were treacherous for us. The kitchen was nicely furnished with supplies. The owner provided 2 gift cards and a little 60 anniversary "spray". It was just not a suitable place to stay for folks our age. ##### billy r. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather S. 26 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### absolutely perfect! Our family of 4 (2 teenagers and parents) stayed for a week in this lovely Carriage House. The first thing to note is every one of us raved about how comfortable the beds were! We had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. Super cute Carriage house, overall so clean and comfortable. Also so great to have a washer and dryer available. But that is just the beginning. The farm store is fabulous to have so close! A short walk to the pier for kayaking and paddleboarding was a great way to start or end the day- I could have spent all day there if I hadn't packed my days full of activities! The kids had fun playing ping-pong in the barn and jumping on the trampoline. So great for them to let loose and be kids again! The location is an easy drive to the cute town of Portsmouth for shopping and dining. We also to lots of day trips to a variety of coastal Maine towns, and 2 day trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. This was our first trip to the area so we packed in a lot of activity, but loved coming back to the peace and comfort of the Carriage house. David was an amazing host! He met us at check in and gave us all necessary information and was always available to answer questions. He even checked in on us after he hadn't heard from us in a couple of days just to be sure we were doing ok! While the main house is on the property, It is not easily visible from the carriage house, so privacy is not a concern at all. I think David would only be as involved as his guests wished him to be. Never intrusive in any way!! If you are considering this property, don't hesitate! it was perfect! ##### Heather S. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nadia V. 8 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing stay in peaceful place! My friends and I (3 ladies in total) absolutely loved our stay at the carriage house. The home was clean, had everything we needed & was in a great location. The beds were super comfy & my absolute favorite part of the whole trip was soaking in the claw foot tub! So relaxing!!! The farm stand was great! Some of the best breakfast sandwiches you'll ever get, and only a stone's throw away from the house. David was a pleasure to work with and made sure he answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend staying in this lovely home! ##### Nadia V. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ---
