These are the three attributes that define the basis for Thistledown Farm’s success.
You want to be at a property that is not your ordinary B&B, that shows concern for the environment and creativity in its concept and design, with an onsite proprietor who genuinely cares for the guest’s experience. And is conscientious about promises made and promises kept.
Thistledown Farm is the creative vision of Penny Johnston, proprietor. A serial entrepreneur, 20 years ago she searched the Maine coast for the perfect barn property and location to develop a small, but unique gathering place for others to enjoy. Today, it includes a restored and repurposed 1850’s hand hewn post and beam barn, sheep shed cottage, and unique barn apartment surrounded by stone terraces and walls, flower gardens, and an expansive lawn. Three glamping rental tents in the woods complete the unique setting. Recently, Thistledown Farm acquired a nearly adjacent abandoned farm property where Penny is in the process of making a private waterfront preserve for exploring, walking and paddling to the sea.
Our philosophy has always been to offer unique, unpretentious and understated premises, but with sophistication. And, most importantly, to keep things simple and relaxed, the way life should be.
Our desire is for our guests to always have a fun and first class experience that will create wonderful lifelong memories of midcoast Maine.
For all the things we try to be these are the things we are not.
