PLEASANT RIVER: BARN

This is perhaps one of the loveliest settings on Vinalhaven. Although not on the ocean, Pleasant River is a tidal waterway, a perfect place to launch canoes or kayaks. It is a place for soulful healing, meditation, and peace, with hiking trails on the property along Pleasant River. There are bikes, a canoe and kayak for your use.

Barn: The living quarters in the barn are along the opposite side of the barn that faces the house. It looks over the serene Pleasant River and is very comfortably furnished. The living room with its many windows has the cozy charm of an old cast iron cook stove. The kitchen off the living room is small, but efficient, but with the view out the windows – who cares? There is a queen size bed in one bedroom and 3 sets of built in bunk beds in the other and a full bathroom. Washer and dryer are out in the barn that is specially equipped with a swing to entertain the rug rats on a rainy day. There is also a large deck along the side and front of the barn – very separated from the farmhouse. This is an ideal location for a family gathering, or if you’re willing to share the great outdoors with another family, the farmhouse and barn may be rented separately. Renters of the house and guest house attached to the barn BOTH have access to the barn, but at the discretion of the guest house renters. The privacy of the renters in the guest house should be honored and respectful attention to noise seriously kept in mind. Along with the barn, there is a house that can be rented along with the barn, or separately.
Barn $900/week in June. No pets and no TV.

House: Upon entering this well cared for farmhouse, you will feel the comfort of the generations who have lived here before you. It is sunny with open views over the fields to the river. The walls are adorned with beautiful watercolors painted by the owner of this home. The cheery living room with lemony walls, fireplace, wood floors, large windows and a wide array of books will invite you to sit, relax and renew your harried being. The well-equipped kitchen will beckon you to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies, steam a pot of lobster to feed all the hungry bellies after a day of swimming in the quarries, hiking or kayaking. There are 5 bedrooms with 2 queen beds, 2 twins, a king and a single. There are 3 full bathrooms, washer and drier, a covered porch and large deck. There is even a vegetable garden. Come and feel cared for (even if you have to do you own cooking).
House $2300/week. No pets and no TV.
