Located inside the iconic Seven Lakes Barn at 168 Main Street, Maine Rope Mats is one of those uniquely Maine businesses that instantly catches your attention. While the historic barn has recently come under new ownership and is seeing exciting new life, Maine Rope Mats continues to showcase a Maine-made tradition that has been handcrafted right here in the Pine Tree State for more than 25 years.

Inspired by Maine's lobster fishing heritage, the company creates durable woven rope mats that are designed to handle everything from muddy boots and wet dogs to harsh Maine winters. They're practical, colorful, and built to last, making them a favorite for camps, cottages, lake homes, and front porches across New England.

What makes visiting the shop even more special is the setting. The Seven Lakes Barn has become a destination in itself, and as you stroll through Belgrade Village, stepping inside feels like discovering a local treasure.
