Blue Skye Farm
-
The Keeping Room at Blue Skye where breakfast is served. In the evening, have your dinner by the fire (guests have full use of the kitchen) or gather round the kitchen table for a more casual meal. The house is yours!
Fireplaces, four posters, victorian sleeping loft, attic room nooks and crannies, far reaching views, each room at Blue Skye offers a special pleasure. Even our ghost (only seen once by a fanciful guest) seems intent on looking after guests by tucking them in!!
Cool and refreshing in the summer, cozy and warm in the winter, the sitting room at Blue Skye is just the place to sit with a drink, contemplate the day and plan tomorrow's adventures. Plenty of books and games to keep you amused and a wide choice of music to listen to.
Some guests prefer the privacy of breakfast in the sunroom, or take it outside to the picnic table.
It's always possible to find a quiet corner at Blue Skye.
Take a walk round the garden after breakfast. Climb to the top of the hayfield and enjoy the view.

A homey view, fantastic breakfast offerings, and a lovely, old home. We were on the first level and were not at all aware of the guests upstairs. We lit our fire and had a very relaxing stay.

A very relaxed and restful environment, rooms were spacious and comfortable. I usually have don't sleep well away from home but the bed was comfortable, plenty of beautiful comforters to stay warm on those chilly nights. The food was over the top, variety and delicious......

I planned our trip to Maine, excited about "my find" called Blue Skye Farm. My sisters and I loved it as soon as we walked inside. Our room was perfect for three; our breakfasts were wonderful and the hostess was delightful. It would be a perfect place to return to with our husbands, or with our daughters. All three of us now are excited about planning a return trip!

Nice rooms. Great breakfasts. My husband found the street is a bit loud at night if windows are open although traffic is very light- it didn't bother me. Jan is very engaging and a good hostess.
