The Appleton Retreat - 1,500 acres Mid-Coast Maine rest & relaxation + hiking
Peter & Toby, who manage The Appleton Retreat, have over 2,600 five-star reviews on another travel platform,,,,, The Red Barn may appear to be a renovated barn but it is actually a totally new contemporary structure that is based on the design style of a monitor barn - which aimed to maximize space and improve the living conditions for animals housed inside the barn, or in this case people. The architecture incorporates a raised center aisle with clerestory windows, allowing for excellent air circulation and natural light. Located at The Appleton Retreat the Red Barn has a spectacular view of Appleton Ridge.
There are 3 bedrooms: Two on the 1st floor and one on the ground floor.
The Master bedroom suite on the 1st floor features a King size bed, AC, black out blinds & TV. There are two large closets. The Bathroom has a bathtub, shower and toilet with bidet. Please note: When a Guest booking is for two people it is assumed they are a couple and require one bedroom - the Master bedroom suite is booked - the other two bedrooms are locked.

The third bedroom on the ground floor features a Queen size bed. A full bathroom is just down the hall. All the floors incorporate radiant heating.
The large deck on the 1st floor looks out at the Appleton Ridge and is a great place to grill. Enjoy viewing the starry nights in the 4-person hot tub ....... maybe with a fire in the firepit.
