A beautiful 150-year old rustic saltwater farm surrounded by acres and acres of fields and woods with thousands of feet of shorefront on a tranquil cove.

The perfect setting to go kayaking and canoeing for an active day on the water, to go bicycling and explore the island or Vinalhaven town, to go hiking, or to go swimming in either the salt water or nearby fresh water granite quarries (one two miles away the other four miles distant). You may also want to swim in the warm (for coastal Maine) saltwater cove behind the house, pick berries, or explore the woods on the nearby trails.

Or else just relax on the back porch with a book and a view over the wildflowers and cove and watch the ospreys diving for fish.

There is a 5 BR main house with 3 baths, a guesthouse with 1 BR and a 6-bed bunkroom that kids love.

There is also large barn attached to the guesthouse that is a great setting for a rainy day kids activities such as ping-pong, painting, and there's a big swing hanging off the rafters.

The main house has a full kitchen with equipment for lobster, pies or anything else you might want to create from the delicious local seafood, produce and berries. A huge dining room has a table that expands to seat all of your extended family and gets great views of the cove and fields. A cozy living room is a great place to read or for a late night board game. A large deck off the main house overlooks the back lawn, fields, and cove. There is a hammock to put between two trees just off the back lawn.

There is a master bedroom with king size bed and bathroom downstairs. Upstairs features 2 full bathrooms with and 2 bedrooms with queen-sized beds, 1 room with twin singles, and 1 room with a single bed. A back staircase allows privacy between the 'North' and 'South' upstairs rooms.

The guesthouse features a spacious sitting/dining area with high ceilings with great views over the fields and cove. There's a full kitchen with great views over the fields and cove. There is 1 BR with a queen-sized bed and a great bunk-room with 3 double bunk beds.

The guesthouse also has a large deck with lovely views and an outdoor shower.

There are 2 kayaks, 1 paddle-board, 1 canoe and bicycles available for use by renters
A trail north, past the old apple trees and through the woods leads to nice views out winter harbor towards Deer Isle.

    This property is quintessential Vinalhaven! There are beautiful views in every direction. We saw tons of birds all around it. We had ten adults and a baby and the property worked great for us!Thanks!!

    I ran a Yoga+Photo Retreat at Sparrow Farm and it was the ideal place for a large group. We were all strangers and still the accommodations were perfect. The location is beautiful and the host was easy to reach leading up to our stay. The caretaker checked in to make sure we had what we needed. And the house is very well stocked with what you'll need to during your stay.

    The photo does not capture the beauty of this location. The other side of the house looks out on an expansive meadow with sweeping unobstructed views to the water. Every room in the main house has its charm, views and comfort. The barn apartment has beautiful views and its own deck. We spent many happy family hours playing ping pong, whiffle ball and swinging in the barn with our grandchildren. The island offers diverse activities including great hiking trails, swimming in the quarry, biking, croquet and kayak and canoeing from the house. Our family with ages 8-74 were never bored. The kitchen was well equipped and the island grocery store was more than adequate. The house is well supplied with books and games. Bill, the caretaker, is a great resource and is willing to answer any questions. He is also the president of the local historical society and gave us a tour of the museum. The owners have done a wonderful job in preserving and protecting the integrity of the house and land. We had a great time and look forward to a return visit.

    This was our second time visiting vinalhaven, and first time in this house. It was better than we all thought! Watching my kids play in the yard as the sun was going down was amazing! Sitting while drinking our morning coffee while watching the osprey, bald eagles and loons fly around us. And listening to the sand

    We had such a wonderful time being all together in a very accommodating space for a large family. We had everything every age could want do: a swing, bicycles, kayaks and water tube and so much more.

    8 adults. 2 children. One big, rustic farmhouse; a barn with bunk beds, a swing hung from the rafters and a ping-pong table; acres and acres of fields and woods and a tranquil cove. It was our kind of place. Our time was filled with solving a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle, collecting shoreline shells and other treasures, picking wild blueberries,reading, eating fresh caught lobsters, watching birds, improving our foraging skills, cheering for 4th-of-July-parade floats, riding bikes, and swimming in the cool, clear waters of abandoned quarries.

    The property is beautiful with views and a lot of privacy. The facilities definitely sleep as many as stated. The barn offers entertainment options for all ages. Vinalhaven has a great, full service, grocery store. I mention this because dining out options are limited. Overall a great experience!

    We absolutely loved the place. Beautiful sunsets on back deck. The barn was fun to play ping pong in. Had everything we needed, except the internet never worked.
