This house is absolutely beautiful and charming with excellent views and room for plenty. We loved watching the tide come in and out. The kitchen was big, as was the great room with the beautiful view. The host was always prompt to respond to any questions and was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for a smooth vacation!

The home was perfect in a cute little town with shops and restaurants. Best equipped kitchen we have ever experienced. The gardens at the home were absolutely stunning and we enjoyed late afternoons taking it all in. The home was very clean and had comfy beds. The host had some great suggestions for things to do and was quick to respond. You will not be disappointed staying here.

Harbor house is a beautiful home in the heart of the downtown area. Plenty of restaurants and food stores close by. It was a great central location to visit the entire state. I highly recommend a stay at this deluxe property.

What an experience! The house was beautiful, you don’t know how important it is to have your own bath in every bedroom! The views were amazing and plenty of things within walking distance! Made our first trip to Maine such a great experience we decided to head back in a couple of weeks! Thanks Laura for opening your home to my family and for the recommendations, we loved every minute of it!

Tenth visit to Maine

The 1824 house is a spacious, lovely, historic, modernized home with Blue Hill restaurants and stores in front and a beautiful waterfront in back. Our family enjoyed the privacy of individual bedroom suites and the gathering spaces inside and out.

What an amazing house! We were there with 3 other couples who are longtime friends that are now spread across the country. We enjoyed each having our own bathroom and plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen is huge and exceptionally well stocked. The only two negatives-there is a lot of street noise, which we eventually adjusted too. The big negative was that the washing machine was broken and one member of our group was planning to do laundry mid-way through the week since the amenities listed washer/dryer.

Hi Kerry, We were so pleased you enjoyed Harbor House and all the features and amenities offered and especially that you were able to share it with your longtime friends. Unfortunately, the washer had a problem just before your visit and the repair was not completed prior to your arrival. I know this was very inconvenient and hoped you would have allowed us to pay for the items needing to be laundered. We truly apologize for this inconvenience. You were wonderful guests and very much appreciated that you stayed at Harbor House while visiting the Acadia region. Thank you again for visiting!

Exceeded expectations!

We couldn’t be more pleased with our home choice for our family trip! The house was beautiful and charming yet cozy and very relaxing! The beds were comfortable. Every bedroom has own bathroom. The kitchen fully stocked. Location in quaint town and about an hour to ANP. Coffee, cafe, park, hiking hill and dinner restaurant right there. Gardens surrounding house so beautiful with views of water. Check in and out progress so easy with excellent easy communications with the host. We couldn’t have picked a better house for our family vacation! I highly recommend this home!

Beautiful Spacious Gem on the Bay !

We had 3 generations stay at the Harbor House . We rented kayaks & looked forward to each high tide to launch . The gardens were brilliantly lush & brimming with life . The home was tastefully appointed & intentionally thoughtful . So many places to walk to including restaurants , art galleries , book & toy store . The Blue Hill co op was a great spot for groceries & the local library’s children’s section had great stem activities . It was a leisurely ride to Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park . This charmer will not disappoint .

Heaven in Blue Hill

This house is perfection! A beautifully appointed, well-maintained, bright, cheerful and spacious home so everyone can spread out for work or play. It has a well-stocked kitchen that is an ambitious cook’s dream. And the views? We spent as much time as we could on the patio with breath-taking views of the bay, surrounded by a meticulously maintained garden. However views from dining room, family room and master bedroom were also great. The town of Blue Hill is adorable. Local hikes, galleries, shops, kayak rentals, and proximity to Acadia National Park means there is plenty to do. Enjoy it all!

A perfect week in Blue Hill!

Myself, my parents, in laws, husband and two daughters all adored this property and our week in Blue Hill. The house is gorgeous with plenty of room for everyone - large spaces to be together and nooks and crannies for a private moment. The setting is spectacular - we launched kayaks right from the lawn and paddled to the Blue Hill rock to jump into the bay. The hosts truly thought of everything including beach chairs and towels, basics like laundry detergent, spices and olive oils and more. Communication was easy and prompt. The town is lovely and the local business owners were so friendly. In particular we loved Juniper for vintage finds, and Blue Chill for artisanal ice pops. Highly recommended!

Harbor House Vacation

We can't say enough positive things about our stay at Harbor House. If we could add more stars, we would. Our communication with the host was outstanding, the house was perfectly situated in the center of Blue Hill, the views were picture perfect, and the house was out of a magazine. We are cooks and made meals almost every night from locally sourced and purchased food. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything our gourmet chefs could need. We had room to spread out but also comfortable gathering spaces inside and out. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. We rented kayaks and had several trips around the harbor. You can't ask for more.

Beautiful home and location!

We spent an amazing week in this beautiful home! The view was gorgeous and we truly enjoyed sitting outside watching the water and the cute duck family with their ducklings! There is so much to do— hiking Blue Hill Mountain, going into Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Deer Isle, exploring Blue Hill, and finding great restaurants! Laura is a fantastic host and she answered all our questions about the area before we arrived. Harbor House is lovely! We appreciated that each bedroom was unique and had their own bathrooms. The living space had everything we needed, including games and puzzles, and plenty of space to be together and spread out. It was hard to leave. We look forward to returning. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!
