Introducing Auberge Insiders

“White Barn is nestled in a charming Maine town that thrives year round. Each season holds its own magic. As beautiful and elegant as the property is, once you’re there you feel like you’re staying in a friend’s home. It’s intimate, cozy and warm which are three things I always look for when choosing a place to stay.” - Actress, Singer, and Director, Elizabeth Gillies

Day 3

“I can’t remember how I came to find out about Snug Harbor Farm but now it’s an essential part of all my trips to Maine. I’m a sucker for a good farm but I’d never visited one that was home to a bevy of curly white doves. They’re so exquisite. This is usually one of my last stops when I’m in town visiting. When I have time, I like to walk around the greenhouses and fields and go in and shop in their charming store.”
