About this house rental

Situated in Bangor, this lovely house for $271 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Welcome to the Big Red House, located in the Whitney Park Historic District in Bangor! We’ve made some upgrades and renovations and are excited to share them with you. Pine ceilings have been added, as well as new furniture, memory foam gel mattress toppers, and a renovated master bathroom. Built c. 1869, the BRH is one of the Queen City’s oldest homes. Once owned by sea captains and the father of a US Treasurer, the BRH is the perfect place to stay to experience Bangor, the once lumber capital of the world and one of the busiest ports on the East Coast. Visit the Penobscot Reservation on Indian Island near Old Town (about 20 minutes to the north) to learn about Maine's Penobscot Tribe. And the Bangor Historical Society down the street will shed light on Bangor's French, Irish, and English history. At the Big Red House, you'll enjoy a huge eat-in kitchen, 4 bedrooms (2 queen and 2 twin) - our downstairs office has a twin daybed and can be closed off to use as a bedroom, and upstairs laundry, pellet stove, garage, central heat, and private driveway. It's close to downtown, too! Great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families, and groups. A hop, skip and a jump away from lobster pounds, hiking trails, local theaters, shopping, dining, historical churches, museums, the casino, and skiing. Check out the Bangor Waterfront along the Penobscot River, and Author, Stephen King's house located right down the street. Dogs welcome (no other pets, please.) The BRH is a non-smoking property. (Note: This property is equipped with exterior cameras and any illegal activity is reported directly to local police. Thank you for respecting the BRH.)

The house was beautiful and well-maintained, and had ample space for four adults and a large dog. Cindy was responsive and helpful throughout our stay, from check-in until the time we left. We felt welcomed from the moment we stepped into the Big Red House and truly enjoyed our “home away from home”!

This home was a great size, very nicely decorated, and the property owner was SO accommodating! All these things made our stay so pleasant. Just fyi, the age of the place lent to a musty smell but we opened windows and that solved it! Also, fyi, one bathroom has a shower and the other has a bathtub. It all worked out fine as we all took turns in the shower. If we are in the area, we will visit this place again.

Property was well maintained. One concern is the claw tub/shower in the upstairs bathroom. It is an awkward and treacherous. situation since the tub is very high. It is difficult to hold onto anything due to the manner in which the shower curtain is installed. Possibly adding a grab bar would be helpful.

We were in Bangor for the Maine Basketball Hall of Fame ceremony, and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for a few days. The home was very comfortable and had everything you could need. The host was very responsive! As a fan of Stephen King, I also like the proximity of his Bangor home to the Big Red House. I will plan to stay here again when I return to Bangor!

Was fun staying in a home built in the latter 1800s. The kitchen though was completely modern. The home was quite clean and near to the sites we wished to see in Bangor.

In town for a biking event, start/finish was just down the street at the waterfront. Able to walk or ride to all the festivities. Very convenient location and was a home away from home

Not for people with disabilities. Not many electrical outlets for all your plug in communication devices but workable.
