Fresh eggs are an awesome touch!
This is a great space and very serene. Easy access to Portland and nice and peaceful when you return. Joy and Peter were very responsive and the fresh eggs are an awesome touch! We will stay again.-Lino
Exactly what we hoped for!
This farm was great for our family. We grabbed fresh eggs daily, and were able to feed the horses whenever we wanted. The property was beautiful. My son loved it. The guest house was private and clean. It was exactly what we had hoped for.- Arthor
Get away from the hustle and bustle!
Absolutely beautiful setting to spend quiet time away from hustle and bustle. Very private upper/lower cottage with all the amenities. Access to the fresh eggs daily and to their incredible garden. Loved spending time petting and watching the rescued horses. Can't say enough about the property and experience we had. Hope to go back again some day! -Jenny
The children gathered their own eggs!
This property was absolutely beautiful. We had everything we needed to be comfortable. The children really enjoyed saying hi to the horses and chickens and gathering their own eggs! -Stephanie E
Well appointed and comfortable!
I reserved this spot for my father and his girlfriend during my daughter's wedding at nearby Flanagan Farm in Buxton. I live in Portland and found the commute to pick them up for different activities to be very manageable. It was a fabulous choice. They were very happy. the setting is beautiful. the apartment is well appointed.and comfortable. I can highly recommend it! -Ann Marie W
Quiet country experience with easy access to the coast
Everything was clean and comfortable. We loved having the horses and other animals right outside our windows! We would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a quiet country experience with fairly easy access to coastal points. There's a large grocery store nearby & Joy outlined a lot of great ideas in the area. The pool was not heated as advertised, but there was plenty to do & it wasn't an issue. -Erica L
Quiet open spaces and lots to learn!
Loved the farm! The horses trotted right over to say hello to us, and it was great talking with Peter and learning a bit more about the history of the property and the work that goes into keeping the farm running. Joy was incredible with her fast responses to all communication. The place was spotless and we appreciated the quiet and open space after exploring Portland all day! Thanks for everything Joy and Peter! -Lori
Horses every morning right outside your window!
We truly enjoyed Joy and Peter's guest house. The highlight for us was the property itself, picking up eggs in the morning, the vegetable garden and taking a swim in the afternoon. We wake up to seeing the horses every morning. Joy is very responsive and she also provided a pack n play for our infant so we didn't have to bring it with us. Great quiet location without being too far away from civilization. -Martin
The location was beautiful and serene!
We had a wonderful stay at Moment's Peace Farm. My wife and I spent 5 nights there with our three boys (7, 5, and 5 months). The location was beautiful and serene; the boys loved checking for eggs in the chicken coop every day;and we made ample use of the pool, too. I'd highly recommend Joy and Peter's place to someone looking for a Maine getaway. They provided a binder with tons of local recommendations, and they were very quick to respond any time we had a question. Such a great stay! -Dustin
Wonderful for families!
This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay. If you love animals and the peacefulness of scenery, it’s perfect. Wonderful for a family and was the perfect distance from the wedding we were attending. Would definitely stay here again!! Zach and Elsa
