It's part of what the weekend is. Waking up Saturday morning on the property, making breakfast before the ceremony, coming back to the farmhouse after the dancing stops — that's what separates a weekend from a single day.

What the farmhouse actually is
The farmhouse is a fully restored four-bedroom home on the property — not a bunkhouse or a converted outbuilding. It has a fully equipped kitchen, multiple bathrooms, living spaces, and a deck overlooking the land. It sleeps up to 10 guests comfortably. Most couples house the wedding party or immediate family there, though the configuration is entirely up to you.
Why on-site accommodations change everything
When key people stay on the property, the wedding weekend stops being a series of logistics and starts being an experience. The wedding party gets ready together Saturday morning on the farm. Late night ends not with a shuttle to a hotel but with people gathering on the farmhouse porch. Sunday breakfast happens in the place where everything else happened. For couples who want their wedding to feel genuinely immersive, having accommodation on-site is the single biggest factor.
"South Road Farm is where I found my way back to my roots. Years after leaving Wayne, I returned to my aunt and uncle's farm in Fayette for my wedding — a four-day celebration grounded in family, friends, and tradition."
— Dyanna Lincoln, whose family farmed this land for decades

The area around South Road Farm
The farmhouse at South Road Farm sits within one of Maine's most lake-dense regions — Echo Lake, Parker Pond, and Flying Pond are all within a few miles, and loons calling across the water at dusk is something overnight guests consistently mention. For guests not staying on-site, Augusta (30 minutes) has hotel blocks from Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, and several other chains. The Fayette and Wayne area has numerous Airbnbs and lake cottages available in summer and fall — many couples put together a lodging guide pointing guests toward options around Echo Lake for a more immersive experience.
Common questions
What does a weekend at South Road Farm cost?
Weekend rentals start at $12,000. That's a single, all-in price — no à la carte fees, no vendor surcharges, no hidden add-ons. You get the full property: both barns, the farmhouse, all ceremony sites, and every outdoor space from Friday afternoon through Sunday midday. Pricing varies by weekend, with peak dates in September and October priced higher. Reach out and we'll send a full breakdown.
How many guests can South Road Farm accommodate?
South Road Farm comfortably hosts up to 150 guests for ceremonies and receptions, with space for dining, dancing, and celebrating both indoors and out — across two barns, the courtyard, and the surrounding grounds.
How long is the weekend rental?
The property is yours from Friday afternoon through Sunday at noon. That includes time to arrive, set up, rehearse, celebrate, and wind down without feeling rushed at any point. Sunday morning is part of every booking, not an add-on.
Can we choose our own vendors?
Yes. You're free to choose your own caterer, bar service, photographer, florist, and entertainment. We do require a licensed and insured bar service to handle alcohol, and a professional wedding planner or day-of coordinator.
Is shuttle service required?
Yes — on-site parking accommodates approximately 50 vehicles, so for larger guest lists a shuttle is required. Most couples arrange shuttles from a central hotel block in Augusta. We're happy to share vendor recommendations.
Is the farmhouse included in the rental price?
Yes. The farmhouse is included in every weekend rental at no additional charge. It sleeps up to 10 guests across four bedrooms and is part of the weekend package.
How many people does the farmhouse sleep?
The farmhouse comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests across four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms.
Can guests who aren't staying in the farmhouse access it during the weekend?
The farmhouse is reserved for overnight guests, with the exception of wedding party use for getting ready on the day of the wedding. The barn and courtyard areas are where the broader celebration happens throughout the weekend.
Where do additional guests stay?
Augusta has a full range of hotel options about 30 minutes away. The central Maine lakes region has numerous Airbnbs and small inns within 15–20 minutes of the property. We provide a lodging guide to couples during the planning process.
About the farm
South Road Farm has been on this land since 1793. The post-and-beam barns went up in the early 1800s. The property ran as a working farm continuously until 2018 — longer than Maine has been a state. What you see now is the result of several years of restoration work done largely by hand by Dave, a lifelong carpenter and co-owner of the property.
We host a limited number of weddings each season, by design. Every couple gets the same thing: the whole property, the whole weekend, our full attention.
