Nestled away on the western side of the Bristol Peninsula in Midcoast Maine in the tiny village of Walpole you will find \u00a0Clark\u2019s Cove Farm &\u00a0Inn. We are an 81 acre estate with 30 acres of groomed, rolling meadows and lawns, flowing perennial\u00a0gardens, 51\u00a0acres of woods complete with trails, a 6 acre 500 tree apple orchard and over 700\u00a0 feet of fresh water frontage. It is said by many to be the pastoral jewel of Midcoast\u00a0Maine.<\/p>\n

Seated upon a ridge, a 1790 Federal style home and a Circa 1860\u2019s barn complete with an\u00a0840 square foot deck command a breathtaking vista reminiscent of a Hudson period painting. The\u00a0old cider mill in the barn has been refitted into two tastefully appointed apartments complete\u00a0with all the amenities required for a peaceful retreat and may be rented by the night or by the\u00a0week. Our barn offers 2,000 square feet of floor space to host your event. The barn kitchen, equipped\u00a0with a professional grade Garland stove, will meet the needs of the most demanding caterer. The\u00a0grounds and gardens are impeccably manicured and enclosed by field stone walls that suggest\u00a0the ambience of Wales in times past. We believe that this is truly a magical setting to host any\u00a0event destined to be memorable and an unmatched retreat destination that will stop time.<\/p>\n

Wander through the gardens, explore the miles of freshly cut trails, gaze thru the window on the covered bridge and watch the water rush (in the spring), kayak or canoe, take a nap in the hammock waters edge, fish for large mouth bass, paint, bird watch .. just breathe.<\/p>\n

We encourage you to browse our website and to view the slideshow and video<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>to capture a glimpse of what it is all about.<\/p>\n

Again, our thanks for considering Clark\u2019s Cove Farm & Inn<\/p>\n

Tim Cheney<\/span><\/h2>\n

Owner<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tim bought Clark’s Cove Farm in 1997 after spending the night in the Orchard Suite and falling in love with the property. He knew nothing about apples and lived\u00a0289 miles away in New Haven, CT. In 2002, \u00a0he retired and moved to Maine. He also owns a home in Florida and\u00a0flees south when it gets too cold.<\/p>\n

John Smith<\/h2>\n

Farm Manager<\/h3>\n

John joined the farm in 2001 and has played a key role in carrying out Tim’s vision for developing \u00a0the property and transforming the orchard into a vibrant pomological masterpiece an a series of magical settings. His meticulous attention to detail in refitting the cider room earned Clark’s Cove Farm the designation of the cleanest cider room in Maine. In his spare time, he built the first covered bridge in Maine since 1999, a gym, a sheep house, a chicken house, an artist studio, \u00a0a workshop and a beautiful barn (in the winter) near the north orchard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Darcy Fraser<\/h2>\n

Landscaper Extraordinaire<\/h3>\n

A non denominational deity sent Darcy to the Farm in 2009\u00a0to become our\u00a0\u00a0landscaper. \u00a0Rain or shine, hot or cold, Darcy gets it done beautifully on time, every time with a smile on her face. Each year the existing gardens look better and each year she plays a vital role in transforming the landscape with new gardens and plantings. She also is an amazing apple picker \u00a0and the trees love her as she takes only the apples.<\/p>\n
