19th C. Waterfront Home in Blue Hill-Exquisite Gardens & Harbor views. Sleeps 10

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.

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!

Gorgeous, perfectly located for us.

If I could give this property 10 stars I would! It’s a beautiful historic home with a lovely addition added. The VIEW is phenomenal. The kitchen is large with 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and a large island. Well stocked with everything you need to cook. Perfect for a larger gathering. The outdoor patio was a favorite spot for morning coffee and afternoon chats watching the 11 foot tide swings. A bathroom for every bedroom. Plus a powder room in main hall. Gorgeous blooming gardens well kept by a gardener all around the house. Clean, comfortable, absolutely lovely. The quaint town of Blue Hill has fantastic gift shops, yummy coffee shops, a few great restaurants, a lobster shack, a wine shop. The wine shop was closed and opened for us just so we could grab 2 bottles for our last night. They even corked it! Arborvine restaurant was one of the best meals of the week. Don’t skip it. Laura is extremely helpful with lots of local knowledge and very quick to respond. Lacey the housekeeper went out of her way to deliver surprises we had shipped. 7 women celebrating our 60th year together. We all LOVED the house! What a spot!!! Also close to all the amazing coastal sites in Maine. Just WOW.

Beautiful property.

This home is even more gorgeous than advertised. Beautiful furnishings, finishes, views, and so well equipped! The host is very responsive and helpful. We would definitely visit again!

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!

Immaculate house with immaculate views. Central to everything. I didn’t want to leave and feel lucky we found it. Laura, our host was wonderful!

Property was just as described and met all expectations. Kitchen was fully stocked and house was tastefully decorated, making it a truly enjoyable vacation. The host was incredible and answered many questions beforehand including where to go, what to plan each day to get the most of it and was very responsive.

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!

The house and grounds are beautiful! Everything exceeded out expectations. We explored Blue Hill and Acadia, kayaked right from the property, and had a beautiful place to return to after our adventures! Thank you, Laura!

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.

My family of seven really enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and beautiful and clean. It was just as advertised. Thank you.

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 .

Wonderful!!

This is a lovely historic property, nicely restored for comfort. Location in Blue Hill is good for enjoying the outdoor activities of Acadia National Park area with the Visitors Center being about 45 minutes away. Although Blue Hill is small town, there are several very good restaurant options (at least two within walking distance) and at least two good grocery store options. The house itself backs up to a tidal estuary that was fascinating to watch as the tide came in and receded. Lobster fisherman loaded their boats at the pier within our view one morning. The house itself was just as pictured. Kitchen was extremely well appointed. Each of the bedrooms has a small bathroom, which was much appreciated by family members. Both the family room and the dining room were large, lots of windows with a view, both readily accommodated our group. The layout of the house was interesting, lots of nooks and crannies and squeaky floors -- just as one would expect from a historic home that had been added onto and renovated over the years. We very much enjoyed our stay and wished it could have been longer!
