About this house rental

Located in Northport, this charming house for $1,250 per night is a great option for your next trip. Built in 1912, this charming Maine costal house has been the vacation home for 3 generations of the same family. Together with the two bedroom/one bath carriage house on the property (an extra charge of $800/week if you'd like to add it), this retreat is now available to rent for larger gatherings. We can accommodate 10 in the main house with the carriage house accommodating 4 more. Perched on a hill a few minutes walk from the historic costal village of Bayside, the main house offers 300 feet of private shore frontage. From nearly every room of the house views of the majestic Penobscot Bay stretch out before you. The main house, an arts and crafts turn of the century home, has been left untouched, only restored and updated by the same family. On the second floor it features 5 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large family media room (with a queen sized sofa bed) and a open landing that doubles as a play area under vaulted beamed ceilings. The master bedroom features a fireplace and a generous bathroom - with a shower and separate tub overlooking the sea. Each bedroom also comes with high quality linens and 2 renovated shared bathrooms. The media room comes equipped with apple tv, Direct TV, Netflix, and VHS/DVD with an array of movies to keep everyone entertained. On the ground floor there is an open plan kitchen with a large double oven/stove, communal table, dishwasher and an incredible modified ice box that is original to the house and functions now as a very large fridge . There are plates and cutlery along with every form of cooking utensil. Adjoining the kitchen is a separate bar/wash area with microwave. The adjacent dinning room is astounding with a large arts and crafts table overlooking the porch and sea with a working fireplace. The living room comes off this, with comfortable leather club chairs and sofas around another large fireplace. There is also a home office with printer and desk. There is high speed internet throughout the house. Each of all these rooms leads to a wrap around covered porch that beautifully frames the ocean view complete with white wicker furniture along with a teak picnic table perfect for outdoor dinning. In the basement there is a laundry room with washer and dryer. There is also an abundant supply of fireplace logs in the basement, as well as a second, modern fridge. Surrounding the house are lush gardens and lawns complete with a fire pit. The front lawn comes with a full turning circle and multiple parking spaces. The front gate is made by a local artist in the Adirondack camp style. We've left a ping pong table on the porch for your enjoyment. To the left of the house is a separate guest carriage house with a self contained apartment above it. There are 2 double bedrooms, living room, a self contained kitchen and bathroom complete with a shower/bathtub. This is perfect for a small family or friends wishing to join in on a holiday but also allowing them to have their own privacy. There is an additional fee of $800 per week of the use of the 2-bedroom Carriage House. There is a private walkway and stairs down to the beach from the bottom of the garden where you can enjoy the lovely Penobscot Bay. Sit on the large deck and spot porpoise and seals, beach comb, kayak, or swim, as the bay is normally wonderfully calm. * Dishwasher * DVD * Fireplace * Gas Grill * High Speed Internet * Ironing Board and Iron * Microwave * Sat.

Suzanne was a wonderful host, and the property was very unique, historical and beautiful. The porch overlooking the ocean was the place to be when not in front of one of the many fireplaces. Surprisingly close to restaurants, bars and things to do.

This is such a beautiful historic home! The location is great. The views are superb. It really feels that you are staying in a family HOME and not a generic rental. We absolutely loved it.

We had a group of 5 couples from college get together and we had the BEST time! The house was charming and the views from the back porch and dock were two of the most beautiful scenes imaginable. A lot to do in surrounding towns but access from highway is easy. Suzanne offered a lot of ideas and help of things to do in the area as well. Can’t recommend this place enough for a group!

We had a wonderful stay at this classic old Maine house. Great location - away from the crowds on the water. Spectacular porch with view of boats and the bay. Rooms were large and comfortable. We and our adult children were able to explore the area and look forward to coming back to our lovely old house. We spent a night before Hurricane Lee with wind howling, but the house was stable and quiet. Suzanne the host was ver accommodating and concerned fir our welfare and made sure we were happy and safe. We would love to go back any time and highly recommend this rental.

Great location for family vacation. Fantastic back porch used for morning coffee and evening drinks, ping pong tourneys and relaxing dinners. Quirky older home with lots of nooks to discover. Large enough that eight adults could easily find a quiet space to work or read or just get away from everyone else. Easy access to beach (steep steps but with hand rails all the way).

We spent virtually all of our time on the wonderful porch overlooking the bay. It was mesmerizing and we loved every minute of it. A pair of eagles flew past regularly at eye level, which was really special. Suzanne was exceptionally helpful when we had questions and was a fantastic host. We had a magical time in Bayside.

We picked the perfect house for our first trip to Maine! The house was ideally located on a pristine bay with clear and calm water. It has the best porch I have ever seen in any house, anywhere in the world- absolutely spectacular views of the bay. The best place to drink your morning coffee, eat all of your meals, play ping pong and have your evening drinks! The house was well-furnished and had everything we needed. We also rented the carriage house for the week for the extra space because there were so many of us. The small adjacent village of Bayside is a delight and nearby Belfast has everything you need without being overrun by tourist kitsch.
