A Historic York Harbor Vacation Rental Designed for Coastal Comfort
Tucked behind a white picket fence in the heart of York Harbor, Maine, 12 Barrell Lane Extension is more than a vacation rental—it’s a restored 17th-century captain’s house that invites you to step into New England’s seafaring past. This designer-owned coastal retreat is the work of interior stylist Mara Burnett of Stated Design, whose vision brings timeless character, tactile design, and effortless comfort to every corner.
Morning Calm on the Harbor: Your York Harbor Vacation Starts Here
Just beyond your doorstep is Fisherman’s Walk, a historic coastal trail once traveled by lobstermen and now beloved by visitors. Take your coffee on a slow walk toward the Wiggly Bridge, with roses, salty breeze, and harbor views as your morning ritual.
“The location on Fisherman’s Walk is perfect for strolls in either direction. We could not be happier with our stay.”

Designed with Heart: A Historic Maine Home Reimagined by the Owner
Featured in Decor Maine, Mara Burnett approached the home’s 1680s bones with reverence and creativity. Charcoal-painted wide-plank floors contrast against whitewashed walls that capture light from the nearby harbor. Coastal textures like sisal rugs and antique books invite calm.
Every object in this designer vacation rental in Maine has a story—vintage chairs, sculptural mobiles from artist Corie Humble, hand-embroidered pillows—curated by the owner herself to reflect the spirit of Maine.
“I loved the rusty patches in the kitchen. It just felt so Maine.”
