QUESTO E 'IL LUOGO - Cottage di lusso intimo con enorme sala vapore oceanfront
A proposito di questa cottagestruttura in affitto
Immerso in Bailey Island, questo affascinante cottage a 606 € per notte è un fantastico opzione per il tuo prossimovacanza. LA CASA ROSSA
La casa rossa di 100 anni a capo di Mackerel Cove è stata costruita quando la maggior parte di Bailey Island era selvaggia e sottosviluppata - e una volta che hai passato del tempo qui è chiaro perché questo posto è stato scelto per costruire. SENTI l'oceano a pochi passi ovunque tu sia sulla proprietà - e ogni notte il sole tramonta direttamente di fronte a te attraverso l'acqua.
Questo posto è magico.
Una casa dove non importa cosa stai facendo - cucinare la cena con i tuoi cari - leggere un libro sotto il portico - passare una giornata pigra a letto - il mare è sempre presente - a pochi passi o proprio fuori dalla tua finestra.
LA SPIAGGIA
La spiaggia privata di ciottoli è il luogo perfetto per lanciare kayak e canoe per esplorare la costa. O raccogliere seaglass ed esplorare le pozze di marea con la bassa marea.
IL RISTRUTTURAZIONE
Tutto in The Red House è stato aggiornato durante la ristrutturazione del 2017. Dall'impianto idraulico al riscaldamento è tutto nuovo di zecca. Letti di lusso e biancheria da letto nelle due camere da letto al piano superiore. Tutti i nuovi elettrodomestici nella cucina completamente attrezzata.
Ma tutto è iniziato con i bagni.
Costruito per ospitare quattro - la camera a vapore guarda direttamente verso l'oceano con le stesse magnifiche viste del resto della casa. Il seminterrato SECRET al piano superiore è nascosto dietro una libreria rotante costruita su misura ispirata a mia nipote di 9 anni e al suo fascino per tutto ciò che è magico e misterioso. Gli spazi soggiorno e pranzo sono stati arredati con un mix di oggetti d'antiquariato e arte locali.
LA VISTA
Trascorrere del tempo qui ritorna sempre alla vista. Un giorno limpido e calmo, nebbioso e grigio il prossimo. Guarda il mare e il cielo spostati con il tempo. Ora per ora Minuto dopo minuto. Sempre bella. Sempre diverso
Mi sono seduto in salotto e ho visto un paio di anatre di mare guidare i loro anatroccoli lungo la riva. Ho visto gli aragoste in uscita per controllare le loro trappole. Il mio appaltatore mi mandò un messaggio con le foto dell'aquila calva che passava un pomeriggio invernale su una roccia a circa 10 piedi di distanza. Qualunque cosa tu veda, puoi essere sicuro che sarà bellissimo.
The Red House fa parte di THE GILLS GROUP - una collezione di cottage fronte oceano che possono essere affittati insieme per gruppi più grandi o per ospitare eventi intimi. I cottage sono tutti a pochi passi l'uno dall'altro e sono il posto perfetto per essere "lontano" pur essendo "insieme".
Le altre case GILLS GROUP sono Jaquish Lane (proprietà 733483) che può ospitare 12 e The Gills (VRBO 318909) che può ospitare 6 persone.
EVENTI
The Red House (insieme a Jaquish Lane e The Gills) è l'unico ad ospitare un matrimonio intimo o una riunione di famiglia. Con vista sull'oceano aperta sul lato orientale dell'isola (Jaquish Lane e The Gills) e tramonti spettacolari a ovest (a The Red House). Le spese per gli eventi variano a seconda della dimensione della raccolta e del numero di ospiti. Contattare il responsabile della proprietà per ulteriori informazioni.
Non c'è un televisore a The Red House - ma c'è Internet ad alta velocità per lo streaming / guardare i propri dispositivi.
IL PROPRIETARIO
Mi chiamo Carter Smith e sono il proprietario di THE GILLS GROUP (The Red House, Jaquish Lane e The Gills). Sono nato a Bailey Island e dopo aver viaggiato per il mondo, so che questa piccola isola è speciale. Come fotografo e cineasta, viaggio un po 'e ho arredato le case con oggetti raccolti in tutto il mondo (e nel Maine). Questi non sono solo "proprietà di affitto". Queste sono case che ho progettato e arredato con amore e attenzione ai dettagli - luoghi in cui passo il tempo con la famiglia e gli amici ogni volta che ne ho la possibilità. Luoghi che amo condividere.
POSIZIONE
Mackerel Cove - Bailey Island - Harpswell - Maine.
Ci sono molte altre proprietà nella zona - ma ce ne sono pochissime che si elevano al di sopra del comfort (a volte crudo) che è accettabile in un "cottage estivo dell'isola". Questo non è il caso qui. Ho provato a pensare a tutto ciò che un ospite potrebbe desiderare: dai lussuosi materassi con penne di piume alle pentole in rame e un cassetto delle spezie ben fornito. Questo è un affitto per le persone che apprezzano i dettagli.
20 minuti da Brunswick e Bowdoin College. 35 minuti da Freeport e L. L.Bean. 45 minuti da Portland.

We were sold on the Dog Friendliness of this property but we will be coming back for the views. This is literally a slice of heaven. We stayed with our two labs and our 3 year old son and everyone had a blast. The house is beautifully renovated to fit the modern lifestyle with the quaint beach house theme. The dogs were able to run free on the beach front and roll in the tall grass. The lack of television was the best pet of the trip. Games, books, music and conversation fill the space and allow you spend time with the ones you love. Highly recommend this home to anyone looking to visit Maine.

What a lovely home and stay! Beautiful view. Beautiful location. Home had everything we needed. One funny thing: I guess I didn’t read the home details clearly because we found the second bathroom 3 days in. :)
highly recommend visiting the driftwood inn.
Enjoy!

We couldn’t wait to return to this home for our second trip to Bailey Island. The home is very comfortable with everything you could need, including books, games, and every necessary kitchen gadget. We spent every evening watching the sunset from the porch and had a wonderful time exploring the bay in our rented kayak. We also took advantage of the amazing steam shower. The property manager was very responsive and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to spend the week!

This is a stunning place to stay. Every detail has been well thought out and you cannot beat the view. The cottage is a great balance of luxury and rustic charm and we so enjoyed our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Bailey Island! The house was perfect for our trip. We loved the unique characteristics of the home and the steam shower was an added bonus. Our son had fun looking for sea glass and exploring. We could have stayed on the back porch the whole trip.
We recommend checking out Giant’s Stairs Trail, Lands End, Stover’s Beach, and Portland Lighthouse. Fishnet Cafe, The General Store, Cook’s, Salt Cod Cafe, Dolphin Marina & Restaurant, & Royal River Grillhouse all had great food. We can’t wait to come back!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this picturesque cottage. We will greatly miss the beautiful view from the porch. Our girls loved collecting sea glass out front and watching the wildlife. Very relaxing week in Maine with great location and accommodations.

The property was lovely with well maintained amenities. This was not an issue just a note: the keys were not in the lock box when we arrived. The door was unlocked and keys were on the counter. When we tried to leave, it appears the box may have been broken but we put them in there anyway as that is what was requested. Views were amazing. We left behind a map of the island for the next guest with a bunch of things we did. We hope to come again.

The Perfect Setting On Mackerel Cove
My husband and I spent a glorious week at The Red Cottage. The restoration of the cottage has clearly been a labor of love. Our experience felt authentic, yet we were not lacking for conveniences and amenities during our stay. The cottage provides the perfect setting to watch Mackerel Cove, an active harbor. We enjoyed watching the boat traffic. The porch is a cool, breezy place to reach, and to watch the ocean and skies shift shape throughout the day. In fact, I think we spent more time on the porch than we did anywhere else in the house! Do not miss sunset on the dock. Dave was the consummate host, attentive to every detail during our stay. We cannot recommend The Red Cottage highly enough. We look forward to returning.

The perfect relaxing getaway… the house is exquisitely decorated and ready for a very comfortable stay. The waterfront view and evening sunsets were perfect and made the whole trip worth while. The steam shower was as added bonus!! Great location for several restaurants, not far from shopping and sightseeing. We rented a kayak for the week and had an amazing time exploring the harbor and neighboring islands. Will definitely be back! Minor details- Kitchen could definitely use some wine glasses, Tupperware, and a can opener!

We spent a dreamy week at the Red House in mid-June for our honeymoon. Highlights were the views of the water from every room, watching ducklings and herons, the glorious sunsets, the comfiness of the bed, and the charming furniture and decor (the lady lamp in the living room was my favorite!) Bailey Island is a special place, and the Red House is a perfect rental to experience it from. Would love to come back again some day!

We loved the house and the location. Great walking distance to Lands End and the General Store. Wonderful ocean views and the dogs had a blast swimming and investigating the tidal pools. The house was well appointed with books and utensils. Unfortunately, there were a number of problems with the place. First was the water. It has hydrogen sulfide gas which is highly toxic. We complained and the manager had someone put in a filter which didn't solve the problem. They gave us some water and we bought more but taking a shower and washing dishes was a noxious process. Many of the dishes and pans were dirty. The upstairs screens were torn to shreds by the winds and let in mosquitos, which we were surprised to see. We don't mind paying high fees and rents but this place just didn't justify the expense.

August 2021
We had a fantastic stay. The house was all we hoped it would be in terms of comfort and space. We enjoyed Bailey Island and the surrounding area but spent so much time just relaxing at the house, on the porch overlooking the water. Cozy and comfortable. The kids loved it too.

Carter’s gambrel roofed “Red House,” nestled at the mouth of Mackerel Cove in the charming and historic Bailey Island was a welcome respite from the confines of the last year and a half. Neither I nor any of my family members could have imagined a more comfortable and beautiful place to regroup. The beds were so comfortable, the porch a magnificent spot to relax, nap, read, breathe in the marine air and wave to lobster boats and the Schooner Alert as they breezed by. Carter’s extensive recommendations for fun, relaxing family activities came in very handy and we took up his advice exploring local beaches , restaurants and shops. As a lover of historic houses I was especially happy to be able to live in a very stylishly and comfortably appointed older house.. truly a beauty insyde and out. We had amazing views from every window.. and loved exploring the tide pools just outside his charming home. We hope to return soon.. perhaps even in the fall. Oh lastly, his property manager David was a delight and at the ready to provide assistance and great conversation at the slightest request. In sum my family had a wonderful time reconnecting with nature and one another in this peaceful, historic, and supremely comfortable home. Thank you SO much! I miss it already.

Another Gills Group Gem
This was our second stay at a Gills Group property on Bailey Island and it did not disappoint. All of the reviews about the Red House are spot-on with regards to the design and coziness of the house – everything from the furnishings and artwork to lighting to the bedsheets and towels are perfectly curated to give the house the look and feel of a cozy well-appointed coastal home (Restoration Hardware towels and lighting in the bathroom, Riedel wine glasses and Cuisinart coffee machine in the kitchen and the list goes on…), not a soulless sterile rental house that lacks personality and charm.
We spent a month in the fall during the pandemic to get away from Boston and work in a different setting with a view. The views are truly spectacular (and you have this view from the living room, shower/steam room, master bedroom and kitchen)! The house is waterside with plenty of places to sit and watch the water and sunsets – Adirondack chairs, a covered porch with a massive couch and a private pier (make a point of knowing when the sun goes down and plan on being home!).
Essentials are covered sufficiently at the Red House. The house was spotless when we arrived with weekly cleaning during our visit. WiFi worked perfectly and the kitchen is well-appointed with everything one needs to prep and cook meals. The location is a short walk to the very end of the island where there is a large gift shop and even more views of the water and coastline that shouldn’t be missed. Also a short walk to the Giant Stairs coastal trail (more views….).
The caretaker, Dave Johnson, is a local and was always available to answer questions, offer assistance or chat about island living.
I highly recommend the Red House or any of the Gills Group properties.

A Slice of Heaven!
The Red House is truly something special. You feel like you're traveling back in time but also have all of the comforts of modern times. The beds are like sleeping on a cloud! Carter's attention to detail and knack for design are felt throughout the entire house, from the neat lighting fixtures to the incredible steam room. This was our second time visiting Bailey Island (we have previously stayed at Carter's Jaquish House, which I also highly recommend), and we can't wait to go back again. I visited with my husband and two young boys (ages 4 and 1.5). We spent most of our days playing in the yard, lounging on the front porch taking in the view, and skipping rocks along the two private beaches. The views are incredible... you won't want to leave! I know we didn't! The property manager, Dave, is wonderful and available to help with whatever you need. He brought us charcoal when we ran out and couldn't find any on island as well as lobsters. Thanks so much, Carter and Dave! We can't wait to visit again soon!

Lived in luxury and delightful touches
The Red House description and photos don't do the experience justice. It's as if you are living on the most well appointed and curated boat, without the seasickness. You see the changing tides, lobster and sail boats from every room in the house. We spent hours playing games outside, waving to the boats, watching the birds from the lovely dock and grilling while watching the sunset. The beds are incredibly comfortable and, not to be crude, but I've never had a better view while using the toilet.
Our children found the hidden bookshelf bathroom to be the coolest thing they've ever seen! They were also impressed with the lobsters 'blowing bubbles' that caretaker Dave delivered. Speaking of Dave - what a delight! Quick to respond but never intrusive and he went out of his way to show me the other Gills properties (in a COVID safe way) even in torrential rain.
We're already planning our next trip for later this year and looking to rebook for next summer.

Cove side jewel box
What a delightful home! From the perfectly distressed exterior to the thoughtful and creative interior. It totally encapsulates the feeling of being in coastal Maine. Handpicked antiques and fabrics abound in the living area and the bedrooms. The house is small but feels spacious due to well planned lighting and open areas. The addition of the steam shower room with a window overlooking the cove is inspired. What better way to view those gorgeous sunsets! The dock at the house is the perfect spot for morning coffee watching the lobster boats come and go from Mackerel Cove. Brunswick is not too far away for grocery shopping and the occasional visit to the laundromat. All questions, problems, discussions about the house, Maine, New England sports or Chocolate Labradors can be directed to and answered by the wonderful property manager Dave Johnson, who is an invaluable resource. We have loved it here.

This house is a beautiful gem on the sleepy and sweet Bailey Island. We brought our friends along and had a wonderful week with good wifi for checking work emails and gorgeous nights BBQ'ing outside while watching the sunset. The steam shower is such a treat and the decor is endlessly intriguing. The copper cookware is lovely but a bit hard to clean and we would have liked to be able to wash our towels mid-way through the week. Other than that, the property manager Dave is warm and helpful, so we would definitely make it back.

We loved our stay at the Red House! After years and years of renting all over Bailey and Orr’s Islands, we’ve finally found the perfect spot. Beautiful view, perfectly located, smartly decorated, a well-equipped kitchen, lovely linens and more. Many thanks to Dave the caretaker. He answered every question and was a great help all week. We hope to return another year!

Beauty and Quiet at Your Doorstep
My husband and I rented the Red House to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Despite gray skies and rain the beauty and quiet of the place made it the perfect choice. We spent hours watching eiders, mergansers, cormorants and gulls through the picture window in the living room. A great blue heron even visited one afternoon. The house was clean and well-appointed and the care-taker, Dave Johnson, was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We've visited Bailey Island many times over the years, but this was probably the most memorable. There's a timelessness about the Red House that centered us, connecting us to the past while feeling fully alive in the present.

Picturesque. Upscale. Enchanting. Quaint, Pristine, and Serene. Oceanfront.
We searched for solitude. Peace. Tranquility.
The home, and its location.....had exactly what we were seeking.
We were so comfortable in and out of the house. We were able to sit on the porch, whether it rained,snowed or sleeted. The view from almost every room was captivating. We explored the ocean floor at low tide, and was memorized as the tides rose.
This home was equipped with everything you needed. It was spotless. All of the furniture cozy. We read and had our meals while watching the ocean, the wildlife and the sunsets. We felt a true sense of serenity throughout our entire visit.
The steam room was addicting. Sparkling clean. It worked perfectly. The stress from our jobs disappeared, the aches and pains disappeared, our skin felt so healthy. A complete sense of well being after each steam bath.
Nothing was missing in this home. Comfort, cleanliness and coziness....it had it all. It was lovely, delightful,charming, inviting, tidy and secluded. Once we arrived, we did not leave, not for one second. We had everything we needed...in every sense.
The owner, was wonderful to work with. Always available. We enjoyed the privacy, as promised, and felt completely safe.
If only we could have stayed longer!!!!!

Bailey Island, Maine at its best!
The house is charming and the location can't be beat (our kids age 7 and 6 ran around all day picking up sea glass and rocks and shells). We loved it and would return in a heartbeat. Don't miss the tour of Admiral Peary's summer home on Eagle Island with Captain Lem.

The perfect house in the perfect location
The Red house was fantastic! My family of 4 had a wonderful, tranquil week. The house decor was perfect, it was old school but also modern in the right places. The view of the sunset was perfect every evening and a good nights sleep was no problem in the super comfortable beds. My kids loved the secret bathroom upstairs behind the bookcase and collecting shells/sea glass right out the back door. The Red house was the vacation house we’ve been looking for. My only complaint is that we only stayed a week! Rent this house and you will not be disappointed. I do suggest packing food or stopping at the Whole Foods in Portland before you get to the island. We brought a croquet set and had hours of fun in the yard.

Dreamy Maine House Right on the Water
I could have moved into Carter's home forever. Everything from the beautifully decorated rooms, comfortable porch, fantastic sunset view, and well-designed kitchen, made it an ideal place for a week away in Maine. It was the perfect size for us (2 kids, 2 adults) with enough room for family meals, card games, and napping, while still feeling cozy. And the bathrooms are the most unique of any home we've ever rented. We also loved being close to several great places to eat and pick up fish, as well as terrific hikes nearby. It was perfect.

Quaint, Charming, Authentic
The location of the Red House is hard to beat - feet from the water - so the ocean is a constant presence. After growing up by the water in Massachusetts but now being unable to go back to the same spot, the sights and sounds and smells of salt water are very therapeutic to me. Our vacation basically involved sitting in one place or another looking at the water - on the couch on the porch or on the dock over the water. We did some walking and exploring but mostly just stayed put. Another key aspect of our stay was the uniqueness of the house. The Red House does not follow the usual rental beach house decoration "formula". What a relief not to find "Life is a Beach" do-dahs around but to see creative and unusual decorating touches. That style made me want to investigate Carter's other houses and I'm pretty sure we'll make plans to stay in one of those larger houses next time!
