About this property

Family/pet-friendly home on working farm. Country setting, yet close to town!

The Herdsman's House is steeped in history and character. Once housing a family with nine children, it fell into disrepair before the Pritchard family purchased the farm, breathed life back into the crumbling structure, and turned it into a home once more.

A convenient seven miles from Presque Isle, the Herdsman's House is the ideal country setting for breathtaking sunrises, sunsets, and stargazing. We have over 1.5 miles of private, maintained walking paths full of wildlife if you want to roam. Or look out the front windows and enjoy the antics of the farm's horses.

Its cozy atmosphere makes this home the ideal artist's retreat, but can accommodate up to six people with ample parking for multiple vehicles and snowmobile trailers. While out of the way, the location is an ideal launching point for many different activities in The County, from the Potato Blossom Festival in July to snowmobiling in the winter. Planning to go to the Potato Blossom Festival? We are a stone's throw from Fort Fairfield.. Taking in the Crown of Maine Balloon Festival? We are a convenient 15-minutes from the balloon launch site at the Northern Maine Fairgrounds.

Both family-friendly and pet-friendly, the Herdsman's House promises a unique stay, with hosts on the premises to answer any questions or help make your stay in Aroostook County a memorable one.
During your stay at this farm stay, you'll be close to Aroostook State Park.

We wanted to look for moose and decided to stay at this facility. It was well worth it. The farm was very nice and the family was all very nice and welcoming. We took our two dogs and they loved it. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Wonderful, peaceful, spot in The County. Off the beaten path. Just perfect.
We love the home that we stayed in. We loved learning the history of the home. There were special touches throughout the home. A welcoming sign upon entering the home, a guest book, a book with the history of the home, pamphlets on activities and dining availabilities nearby, coofee, creamer, trailmix, teas, pancake mix, even toothpaste and toothbrushes,the works! Such a peaceful place to stay.😊
