    A spacious place for a large group that allowed accommodations to be comfortable for everyone. A lot of eclectic items scatted around the house. We had difficulty with the refrigerator as it did not remain cold throughout our stay.

    We loved the Big Red Barn! We usually stay in Ogunquit but wanted a little quieter atmosphere and this place was perfect. Our family of 6 had 4 floors of privacy and everything we needed was there. Clean and well equipped. Conveniently located too. Would definitely stay again

    The property had a casual laid-back feel. Open area which was good for conversation. The kitchen was well stocked with whatever we needed. A little better job could’ve been done when cleaning the cabinet doors, the over the range hood, and the dining table. Everyone loves the big comfy reading chair next to the huge picture. The busy road wasn’t an issue except at night when we had to open the windows because the third floor was too hot (79) and the temperature could not be regulated. We love that there were lots of bathrooms, however not were all equipped with hand soap. A paved or tarred or stone walkway heading to the door would be beneficial as when it’s wet out your shoes are soaked from walking through the grass. Late checkout was offered however, the price wasn’t given before you were required to hit purchase. overall, we would stay here again as long as the temperature controls could be figured out.

    Very clean, had plenty of amenities! Loved the open spaces for gathering. Kids thought all the levels were the best! Great kitchen! A little noisy from the road there. Would go back though!

    Fun property in a good location. Would stay again. The listing says “Not suitable for children” but our 3-yr old was fine.

    Perfect! This used to be the old firehouse in Wells. It’s 15 minutes from Moody Beach and Kennebunkport. Half an hour to York Beaches. The whole family loved the property.

    The whole family loved the Big Red Barn and there are good antique shops close by and nice beaches nearby also. The Barn is in a nice location and is plenty big enough for a large family and we would recommend this house to anyone
