Welcome to Kendall Farm in Perry, Maine
This forty-five acre farmstead on the easternmost lake in the US has been in my family for five generations. I honor this legacy in a way that preserves this beautiful environment and allows our visitors to relax, refresh and rejoice.
Our lakeside cottage, event barn, waterview RV spot and rambling cape house on Passamaquoddy Bay are where visitors can unplug, relax, and be still.

About Kendall Farm Cottages

Relax, refresh, rejoice … and have fun!
Kendall Farm is located on Boyden Lake in “Way Downeast” Maine at the East Coast’s northernmost point. The farm was purchased in 1854 by my great-great-grandfather, Robert Golding. The circa 1820 farmhouse has been home to my family ever since, and its recent renovation, outlined in this Quoddy Tides newspaper article, revealed some surprising history.
At the turn of the century as more families came to summer on the lake, my grandfather and father hand-sawed ice from the frozen lakes in winter, packed the blocks in hay, and hauled the blocks by horse drawn sleds to ice houses in the cottages along Boyden Lake. By June, it would still be solid and ready for summer residents to use for refrigeration.
Today, the Kendalls are still farming – albeit on a smaller scale. Kendall Farm offers an abundance of watercress growing in a nearby natural spring, low and high bush blueberry patches and a raspberry bramble.
Our large vegetable and flower garden – tilled in this very spot for generations – is where guests are welcome to harvest flowers, herbs, tomatoes, beans and such and flowers for their tables.
