Magnificent Oceanfront Home on Penobscot Bay

Another wonderful week at Harbor House, which never disappoints. An island of calm in a stormy time; a refuge from the insistent demands of our day-to-day lives. Each time we visit we discover more things to do and new places to explore, to say nothing of revisiting old favorites. Thanks to Christa and her extended family for making it possible for others to visit and enjoy this lovely place.

Christa and her family have created a warm, inviting home on a gorgeous piece of property. We awoke to spectacular sunrises, or dense fog, and both were appreciated. Harbor House is an incredibly serene spot, making it very easy to hear the quiet sputtering of lobster boats as they move from trap to trap. And eating breakfast (all meals, actually) on the deck is as good as “dining out” gets

This architecturaly stunning, oceanfront home has everything you could want for your Maine coast vacation. No need to cart bicycles and kayaks, they're already there. And the kids loved diving off the deep water dock. Load up on groceries, because once you get there you won't want to leave.

We loved this classic New England home that was built as a historic post and beam design. Great kitchen, shared spaces, bedrooms and deck. We had everything we needed and enjoyed watching the lobstermen check their traps. We were close to the Monhegan ferry and had a lovely day trip. We bought fresh lobsters from the dock and visited local art galleries. A great stay!

Another wonderful week at Harbor House. Words cannot do justice to this place - a true jewel in a magical location. Even in the rain it radiates warmth and welcome.

We had a lovely time at this this comfortable, charming and well-equipped home. The location is so peaceful and the view delightful. The owner is ver helpful as well.

First impressions are as important as you know them to be. The Harbor House is a quiet vacation retreat on the water with post and beam construction giving it period connectivity that transports you. The modern Appliances and Kitchen appointments rock, along with the sunrises and sunsets on the dock. My wife enjoys painting watercolors, and unbeknownst to us many beautiful ones are on the walls there and were perfect for inspiration. The Harbor House checks many boxes for vacation time. Great time!

Harbor House was everything you could imagine Maine would be like. From the moment you walk in , you feel like your coming home to join family. The home has so much history and character and we loved being able to feel a part of that. It’s in a wonderful location -an easy bike ride to town, the beach , and the lighthouse. The accessibility to everything is wonderful. It is apparent the family wants their guest to feel right at home. Christa was wonderful to work with- she always responded and was very informative with any questions we had. We all loved ( 3 boys ages 9-18) our vacation so much and can’t wait to return!

A lovely location - great water views and access but sheltered enough to avoid high winds and the like. The house is comfortable and big enough to accommodate a family of four adults all of whom were working remotely during part of the visit. Lots of privacy.

I’ll start with where we ended - my daughter crying and not wanting to leave. We had the BEST time at Harbor House. It was an ideal location for our family to reconnect amid virtual school and work from home and the stresses of life. Between the swing in the bunk room that amused my kids for hours to the fireplace where we gathered every night for Bird Bingo and s’mores to exploring the shoreline and tide pools... everything was incredible! This house is the most magical place we have been as a family. My husband is obsessed with the gourmet kitchen and I loved all the details - the wood beams, antique furnishings and views from every window. We felt so at home yet so at peace there and will certainly be back to Harbor House. We feel so fortunate that Christina and her family opened up their home to our family!
