About this property

Gorgeous waterfront near Popham Beach

Stay in our elegant 18th century farmhouse--meticulously restored to preserve its history and lovingly refreshed with a modern farmhouse style--with a renovated 1800s barn. Set on a 4.5 acre private waterfront estate steeped in natural beauty and authentic Maine charm. Simply stunning views.

The house has 8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms (including a master suite with private porch and entry), open chef's kitchen, breakfast room, formal dining room, formal living room and cozy study.

Experience indoor/outdoor living on the patio with teak dining table, seating area, and bar perfect for meals, cocktail hours or lounging. Kitchen garden. Native plant landscaping and flower gardens.

Enjoy lawn games, cocktail hours, lounging in Adirondack chairs, and picnics on our sweeping lawn.

Steep in the tranquility and natural beauty of the landscape. Wake up to the sunrise over the Kennebec, watch seals playing on the island, eagles swooping overhead. Stargaze around the fire pit while toasting s'mores.

Use the deep-water dock on the world-renowned Kennebec River where you can arrive/depart or head off for a sunset cruise, an excursion to Popham Beach or Sequin island lighthouse, fishing or bird watching adventures, and more. Or just cast a line for stripers, watch a quiet sunrise, or snap some beautiful photos.

Enjoy dinners around our handmade farm tables in the barn.

Down our road you'll find a beautiful swimming hole and place to launch kayaks, miles of hiking trails, Thistle Dew Alpaca Farm, Center Pond Farm, the Phippsburg Historical Society, Library and Bissons Center Store for provisions.

In Phippsburg you'll find nearby Popham Beach (10 min drive), Bates-Morse Mountain Preserve, hidden coves, golf, tennis, kayaking, lobster shacks, restaurants, and farm stands.

Head to charming Bath and Brunswick for restaurants, galleries, Maine Maritime Museum, Bowdoin College; Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens (Boothbay), Ried State Park (Georgetown), Sailing (Harpswell); LL Bean and outlets (Freeport) and day trips to Portland.

Here, you’ll feel like you are away from it all--surrounded by natural beauty and small town charm--but you’re only a stone’s throw from anything you could possibly need or desire. Just 15 minutes from Bath, 20 minutes from Brunswick, and 45 minutes from Portland. Popham Beach is 15 minutes down the road.

Host a lobster bake, family reunion, retreat or meeting in the barn. For weddings and events, please inquire about availability and pricing.

(Please note that there are often mosquitos during the summer months in our area, though their presence or absence depends on the weather and fluctuates throughout the season or even the week. We recommend bringing bug spray.)

(Please also note that there is a newly renovated 3 bed apartment ("The Hayloft") with vaulted ceilings and water views above the 19th c barn that is also available for rent.)

Thanksgiving in Heaven
Five nights. Sixteen family members. Adults with six children from 8 to 19. And everyone loved it! Lovely historical house and barn. Gorgeous views and sunsets. Eagles and hawks circling salt water grasses, seals below. Walks on Popham Beach and wooded trails. Charades, chess, movies, lots of good food.

Great Place
Beautiful place, beautiful area. Really nice hosts. The only drawback was mosquitos, but with citronella candles and bug spray, they weren't a show stopper. We had ten friends all stay there together. Each couple had a bedroom with private bath. Go to Pompham Beach if you go. Can't be beat.

Excellent getaway
I can't recommend the 1774 inn enough. It was a magical place to spend a week and an excellent set-up for a family reunion. Sarah and Stewart were both amazing from the moment we booked the place until the moment we checked out. They've done a remarkable job turning this landmark into a welcoming and comfy place that accommodates all ages.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah DeVan

Host profile image
This is our home, our dream, our passion-and we'd love to share it with you. This place is also a part of our love story. We're high school sweethearts who reconnected a decade later and fell in love all over again with each other and with Maine while visiting Sarah's family's cabin in Phippsburg. After working as a chef in Michelin star restaurants (Sarah) and sommelier (Stuart) in NYC, France and Spain, we moved to Phippsburg full-time to chase our dream of transforming the Inn into a destination for getaways, weddings and farm-to-table dining. Restoring and stewarding a nearly 250 year old property on the National Register of Historic Places is a labor of love--one we're grateful to be able to share with you. There is nothing we love more than creating a beautiful space where families and friends can gather and connect in a beautiful natural setting. We live next door to the Inn with our lively dog, and equally lively little children. We love to garden, forage, fish, hunt and continue exploring this incredible corner of the world. We hope to share with you a sense of discovery and the magic of this extraordinary place.

Why they chose this property

Set in a rural seaside village, steeped in natural beauty, rich maritime history and authentic Maine charm, Phippsburg is something special: a place that is authentic, beautiful, and just enough out of the way. From the Inn, you can walk in one direction to the Totman Library, Historical Society, Thistle Dew Alpaca farm and Bisson's Center Store (THE town general store). In the other direction, you can walk to a nature preserve with miles of hiking trails and a large pond perfect for swimming, fishing and kayaking. Here, you're far from the hustle and bustle, but only a stone's throw from anything you may need. Just a 15 minute drive to Popham Beach State Park, 20 minutes to Brunswick, 30 minutes to Wiscasset, 45 minutes to Boothbay and Portland, and 2.5 hours to Boston. It's far from the hustle and bustle, but only a stone’s throw from anything you might need.

What makes this property unique

“If you're looking for a beautiful, authentic place....in Maine that holds on to what's real, what's special and what's slightly hidden, this is it.”
