Located on the beautiful Thistledown Farm property, it is furnished with unique antiques and old barn finds. The sleeping loft is accessible only by a ship's ladder. Adults and kids alike LOVE it. It is a great place to kick back! The accommodations are rustic-more like "glamping" than a dolled-up seaside cottage. This is a seasonal space, and bookings are only available from mid-May to mid-October. The space Thistledown Farm's Sheep Shed Cottage abounds with rustic barn charm throughout. It has a large screened dining/sitting area with a fully equipped summer kitchen, comfortable separate living room space, bathroom, outdoor private hot water shower, and a sleeping loft. It is adjacent to a large stone terrace with a dining table, an outdoor fireplace, and a separate fire pit that is to die for. A bocce/croquet court completes the amenities. There is a fantastic freshwater swimming hole, saltwater boat launch, and 2 nature preserves are on our road within walking distance. You can't beat it!

If you are looking for a fun activity to do right here on Thistledown Farm, you can learn to weave your own colorful lobster rope doormat. Our Farm was previously used as the location of The Maine Float Rope Co., home of the popular Down East Doormats. A cottage industry, The Maine Float Rope Co. made mats and rugs woven out of reclaimed lobster trap rope. Now, with a former weaver on Thistledown Farm's staff, lessons can be arranged to learn how to make your own mat. There is a fee and we ask for advance notice of your interest. Our little peninsula has a wonderful freshwater swimming hole, saltwater boat launch, beautiful vistas, and 2 public preserves.

Please note that the only fire allowed throughout the property is in the firepit or cooking grill.
