About this house rental

Nestled in Harpswell, this charming house for £510 per night is a great choice for your next break. The “Big House” is part of an incredible 8-acre private estate with a shared private beach, walking trails, cliff views, a shared deep water dock, and even a freshwater swimming pond. The Big House is a 3,000 sqft fully winterized year-round home built in 1947 by my grandfather. The house features a large living room with an attached porch that looks out on an incredible waterfront view. There is a modern kitchen with a breakfast nook, a large dining room, five bedrooms (4 queens, two long singles), 2 full baths, and one-half bath. A portion of our deck is screened for a little shade and an escape from the mosquitos. We also have a large outdoor hot tub for you to soak in. You are just a short walk through open fields to a shared private ocean beach perfect for launching your kayak. Continue your walk to a shared private dock great for swimming. Our dock is on the local harbor at Lookout Point and faces westward for fantastic sunsets and expansive island views. This is an active lobstering harbor so you can purchase your lobsters right next door! The Big House is located on an incredible 8-acre private family estate perched above a lush field surrounded by 1,500 feet of ocean frontage. You get to share this calm and quiet estate with a family-owned cottage and a small year-round home. We face west so the sunsets are amazing year-round. So come swim off the dock, launch your kayak, swim off the rocks, read a book, have a lobster, take walks . . . just relax and enjoy! We look forward to your visit and hope to meet you during your stay.

This place was perfect for our group of friends celebrating a (significant) birthday. We loved the house--spent mornings in the kitchen, which was beautifully designed and had every amenity you could possibly need. Evenings were spent in the living room, around the wood stove. The bedrooms were large, with very comfortable beds. We loved the property and the beautiful views of the water. All in all, we had a great visit and loved this gorgeous and comfortable spot.

This is a beautiful house on a huge property looking southeast over Casco Bay. Me and a bunch of friends stayed here for New Year's and had a wonderful time. Lots of nice touches: the kitchen is stocked with every utensil and appliance you could need, there's hundreds of cool books on the shelves in every room, a working wood stove in the living room with tons and tons of wood. The only disappointment was that the hot tub wasn't available during winter. Would definitely recommend this place to friend groups or families looking for an easy stay in a beautiful place.

Our extended family gathered for a couple of days, staying in the Big House and the Bungalow. Both were very comfortable and well-suited to our gathering. The owners were very accessible. I highly recommend staying here!

We stayed in The Big House, as well as the Bungalow, and the Cottage for the small family wedding of our daughter and son-in-law. This house was so comfortable. The Woodmans clearly put love and care into this property.

We were in Harpswell for our son’s wedding and the big house was the perfect place for my husband and I along with our other adult children. We were able to spend some quality time together and the location couldn’t have been better. It was only a few miles away from the wedding venue and a short walk from beautiful lookout point.

EVERYTHING was just perfect. The Big House was everything we pictured Maine to be and more. It’s just beautiful inside and out. The special touches throughout the house were so meaningful due to the family history explained by the owners. It’s wasn’t just a vacation home to us - it was so much more!! The home is cozy, comfortable, spotless , and equipped with EVERYTHING!!! The views are breathtaking!!! PLEASE do not hesitate to book this home. The hosts are super sweet and kept us well informed. There is so much to do at the house and in the area. We are already talking about going back. Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us and it was very nice to meet you!!!

We loved everything about this property! The lay out of the house was perfect for our purposes with lots of room for the children to play and space for the adults as well. The kitchen was great to cook in and had everything you need. Even sharp knives! Outside on the deck had stunning views of the water. We spent time at night in the screened porch. One night we took the children to the beach and made a fire while the sun set. The dock we used to swim, have lunch and enjoy the beautiful costal waters. Perfect Maine house and forever memories! .
