About this property

Downtown Freeport Barn'acle

Enjoy the quintessential charm of coastal Maine at The Barn'acle– a newly renovated two-bedroom nestled in the heart of Freeport. Transformed from a historic barn, embrace the tranquility of a quiet dead-end street while being just steps away from downtown. Note this is a duplex; we share the attached home with a driveway and patio.

Step inside and feel immediately at home with modern comforts in every corner. The Barn'acle promises a truly memorable stay with ~1,000 sq. feet of living space!

This recently finished, brand-new beautiful space has a full kitchen, living room space, one enclosed bedroom, and one large open master bedroom with skylights, a walk-in closet, and a full bathroom with a brand-new washer and dryer. The kitchen also has brand-new appliances.

We live in the attached house next door, and share a driveway and patio. We are friendly :) and always happy to provide suggestions during your visit to the area.

Other Notes: The house abuts the Amtrak Downeaster line, which swiftly passes a few times daily. If you're REALLY sensitive to sound and a very light sleeper, keep this in mind BEFORE booking.

We live in the attached house, share a driveway and patio, and have a friendly dog. If you're bringing a dog, let us know if yours is friendly and open to meeting Jett, who may otherwise be occasionally wandering around outside in search of some good sun or his ball.

Our stay was fantastic! Was able to walk to all of the best Freeport spots! Although the listing says 2b 2b it is only 2b 1.5b.

Thanks, Shannon! So sorry about the listing mismatch, we are relatively new to VRBO and I just figured out how to specify the kind of bathroom that it is, glad you enjoyed your stay!

It was a lovely property and very nice owner. Very clean and well maintained. It is a 1.5 bath not 2. The main bedroom and full bath are up stairs. There is a train track near by but we rarely heard it. You can take it into Portland from Freeport. Nice shopping and restaurants near by. Also some nice easy walking trails not to far away. I

Thanks, Vera! Sorry about the bathroom listing, we are relatively new to VRBO, and I hadn't known where to update that to make sure it reflects 1.5 bathrooms, but now it has! I am really glad you enjoyed your stay!

The Barn'acle is very comfortable and clean, located on a quiet street but so close to town and stores we could walk everywhere. Aside from needing a few more hooks for wet jackets and rods for towels, the owners have provided things for a pleasant stay. We would like to return sometime.

The Barn’acle was very cute, quaint, and clean. The beds were comfortable and we had all the accommodations we needed for a three night girls trip. The neighborhood felt safe and was very close to the downtown shops and restaurants. We were within walking distance of just about everything we needed. The host was very quick to respond to my messages. I would recommend this place if you’re going to Freeport!

The Barn'acle was an exceptional place to stay. The unit itself was far more spacious than we anticipated and was perfect for the 5 of us (one infant) who stayed there. The unit is clearly well cared for, recently updated and renovated, and very clean. The welcome from the host and their instructions and recommendations where a huge help is us navigating the best options to explore and go to in downtown Freeport. The accessibility to the town and having all of that within walking distance to the unit was also a HUGE plus. I would strongly recommend staying here if you're looking for a long weekend away and want close proximity to all that Freeport has to offer!

What a lovely place to stay! Very spacious, all details were thoughtful, easy check in, and can’t beat the location! Just a block away from shops, restaurants, but in a quiet little neighborhood. We loved the quick 10 minute drive to trails/beach. Look forward to coming back!

Lovely and immaculate home with contemporary amenities, a couldn’t-be-better location in the walkable heart of Freeport, and 5 minutes from RT 95. The lush backyard on this dead-end residential street had a rural vibe, and the small patio overlooking a vibrant garden bed provided an Idyllic morning latte location. Master suite in the 2nd floor loft space felt surprisingly luxurious. Hosts in adjoining residence were unobtrusive yet perfectly available. Hope we can come again.
