About this property

Beautifully up-kept and modernized classic cottage built circa 1897. Fantastic views, and great proximity to many island activities. This 3 bedroom summer house just had a massive upgrade: full bathroom downstairs, and halfbath upstairs are brand new, and are in immaculate condition. The living room/music room sounds great with antique piano and small drumset. Outdoor shower is fantastic, and front porch has commanding views of the water.

Red House Rocks!

What a great place to relax and enjoy a unique island experience. We had a refreshing, relaxing, peaceful visit. Luke was checking in on us through text to make sure our needs were met. He was available to answer all questions and gave us great advice on what to do, where to go, etc. it is so nice to have had a host who really cared about our experience.

Perfect Maine Island Vacation

Quintessential Maine island cottage for a summer vacation in Maine. Had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. Hosts are proactive and available when we needed them…which wasn’t much because the cottage was well equipped and provided a classic island experience.

The magical charm of the Red House

Location was great and Luke was very attentive to our needs and informative on Island life and things to do. We really enjoyed our stay and made wonderful memories at The Red House. The Red House supplied all of our needs for a large group and even provided everyone bicycles to get around the island. I cannot say enough good things about Luke, and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Perfect summer cottage

My family and I had an amazing stay at the Red House. It is definitely a "classic" summer cottage, in every sense of the word. Porch with a view, bikes, great outdoor shower... the list goes on. Maine island paradise, just add good weather and good times. And if there's bad weather, at least you can stay indoors and jam!

About the host

Hosted by Luke Rothschild

I'm a music professional that ended up in the Los Angeles area. I enjoy music, fine art, reading, and surfing. I love our house on Chebeague island. Since it sits empty for some months of the year, I'm now listing it on VRBO and will be the point person for the rentals for the rest of my family.

Why they chose this property

My grandfather and grandmother bought the property in the 1950's. This house is one of the early structures in this area of the island. It sits perched on a hill above the boatyard, with great views from the porch out towards the bay. Much of my extended family has spent many summers in this house, and its where my grandmother spent many of her summers into the 1980's. Much work and upgrades have been done over the years. Including new deck, french doors to dining room, and just this year two pristine new bathrooms and on demand water heater. Laundry in the laundry room.

What makes this property unique

This is a classic Maine summer cottage. Bright views and a lot of light flood the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Charming dark wood in the stairwell and cozy bedrooms upstairs. Hang out on the spacious porch, or go exploring. Walk to the beach below, or bike around the island and see all the different and varied sights and views. The Red House is situated just above The Boatyard, The Niblic, and multiple beaches just below. Biking and fishing and swimming are favorite activities. As are reading eating and sleeping. Its pretty much impossible to get a fresher lobster than the ones that come right out of Casco Bay and can be brought to you by the lobstermen themselves. There's also Second Wind Farms that has delicious fresh produce at the farm stand.
