The Blue Heron Heron Farm and Retreat is a beautiful 13 acre farm and bed and breakfast nestled on the Nezinscot River in Turner, Maine.
Our historic brick home was built in 1790 by Samuel Irish - the oldest brick home in town.
We are an adult only farm resort- we invite you to stay with us to enjoy the history, the river views, farm to table food and the serenity of nature. Disconnect from your hectic schedule and enjoy a relaxing and peaceful visit!
Each bunkhouse is a private cabin on the river with a sitting area, fire pit, and a private detached bathroom with a walk-in shower a short walk away.
Breakfast is included with your stay. We serve farm to table dinners in our historic barn each night - reservations are required.
Canoe or kayak the lazy Nezinscot River for an hour, or take the full day, and we will pack you a picnic lunch to enjoy on your adventure. Canoes and kayaks are provided free of charge to our guests.
We have a full recreation area with all kinds of games - volleyball, horseshoes, bocce ball, corn hole and badminton!
Bird enthusiasts will delight in the varied species we have on the farm and along the river.
Fishing is always a favorite on the Nezinscot River.
Walk our 13 acre property and enjoy our cut flower area, herb garden, vegetable garden along with our farm animals.
At night, star gazing at the Milky Way is a must.
Guest access
Your nightly rate includes a full breakfast served each morning between 7am and 9am; use of the barn, canoes and kayaks, and recreational equipment; and free high-speed Internet access.
There are no cooking facilities on site as we are not a campground. Breakfast is served as part of your stay and lunch/dinner can be purchased on site or we are happy to make restaurant suggestions for you.
Our Farm to Table dinners are served in our historic barn and are very popular, especially on the weekends. Reservations are required so please contact us before your arrival if you are interested in dining with us.
Our cabins and the bathhouse are powered by off grid solar so please do not bring box fans, coffee makers, hair dryers, etc. We provide a fan in each cabin and tent, and a hair dryer in each bathroom that are right sized to the system. We provide lanterns and a battery charger pack in the glamping tents.
