    The Farmhouse at Bryant Pond

    Our large home is great for getting together with friends and family to enjoy the year-round beauty of western Maine. Winter activities abound from alpine skiing and riding, to nordic skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, dogsledding, and sleigh rides. Spring time brings sunshine, flowers, and a chance to hit the slopes in a t-shirt! Summer is one of the best times to visit. Warm days are perfect for splashing in the plentiful waterfalls, rivers and lakes that dazzle under the summer sun. Miles of hiking and biking trails from peaks to ponds can be found within a short distance of the house. Don't forget to sample delicious Maine blueberries! The cooler days of fall bring vibrant colors to the mountains, hike one of the nearby peaks or drive one of the many scenic routes for truly spectacular views. Our farmhouse is the perfect base for your group, no matter when you choose to visit.


    The house was built from a converted farmhouse and barn. The main portion of the house has 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, 2 living areas, a large kitchen and dining area that opens to the porch and patio. There is an attached 2 bedroom apartment that is included with this rental. It has a separate entrance, a small kitchenette area, open living area, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. There are a total number of 2 king size beds, 5 queen size beds, 5 twin beds, and 3 pullout/convertible beds. Linens and towels are provided.
    The patio has Adirondack chairs with a firepit looking out over the expansive lawn and a grill to prepare outdoor meals. Just down the street is access to Bryant Pond (Lake Christopher), a quiet, beautiful lake great for kayaking, canoeing, or paddle boarding. Your rental includes the use of kayaks that can be carted down to the lake.


    Dogs are welcome at our house, they will love the yard and lake as well, but will require an extra cleaning fee (please include them in your reservation).


    Our home has recently undergone renovations. Some of the photos in our listing have been updated . A brand new professional kitchen stove/oven was installed earlier in 2022 and the painting of the exterior is nearly done, with finishing touches complete in fall 2022! Next on our renovations list (later in Fall/Winter 2022) is updating the bathrooms.


    What you can expect:

    Great place for our retreat
    I hosted a retreat for my organization and this house was perfect. Perfect location to go out and enjoy nature and hikes (even when it was raining). Small town close by where we were able to go bowling and enjoy getting out of the city. Overall great trip and 10/10 recommend.

    Great Vacation!
    Our group of 21 had a wonderful time. There was plenty of space to both spread out and to gather. We got lots of use from the kayaks on the nearby pond, and the huge yard was perfect for volleyball and other games with the kids. The fire pit was a wonderful place to gather at night.

    Family gathering at the Farmhouse at Bryant Pond
    Twenty of us gathered for a week in the spacious house, with 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers! Very helpful! There are AC units in each bedroom, a blessing the week we were there! We had immediate response from our host Craig re: a couple minor snafus... We spent a lot of time in the lake which is very nice, clean and fresh and a short walk from the house. When not swimming there are lots of fun activities close by, ( Gem Museum, Shaker Museum, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Step Falls, Tubing...) as well as a comfy outdoor sitting area with a fire pit at the house. All in all we had a terrific week at the Farmhouse. I would recommend it as an easy place for a family gathering!

    Great spot for multi-family vacation
    This is a great property for multiple families to stay and unwind. The dining area is a great gathering spot, while the multiple bedrooms (with full bathrooms!) are key to making it easy for many families to feel comfortable. The lake is gorgeous, and is a short walk down the road. The front lawn was perfect for games of all kinds, and Michelle and Craig were very responsive to any question we had during our stay. We look forward to returning!

    Family Tradition Lives On
    We've been going up to Bryant pond for years on Memorial Day weekend and the rental we usually get got booked before we could get our act together. Luckily we found The Farmhouse was available and better than ever before! We actually used to stay here when it was owned by the previous owners and after staying here now I can say there have been many updates, not only in the fixing up of the property, but also in cleaning practices that we greatly appreciated! It was perfect for our large family of all ages, plenty of sleeping spots and room to spread out. The kayaks were great to go out on the beautiful lake and the fire pit was wonderful for circling up at night as a family. The kitchen is wonderful with amazing oven/stove and big refrigerator and plenty of room to sit and eat together. Very responsive and friendly hosts. Can't recommend staying here enough!
    Stayed 3 nights in May 2023
