Other suggestions: Harpswell Heritage Land Trust has a huge network of trails around town for woodsy or Oceanside hikes.

We stayed off-season so it was very quiet and not crowded. This is definitely a different side of much of Harpswell; very wooded. Frequent visitors of wild turkeys and ducks, many birds. Dark skies to view the stars. Small, cozy cabin.

This home is absolutely wonderful! It is an older historic home that has been well-maintained and lovingly cared for by the owners, Nat & Holly, both of whom are lovely, charming folks. The living room and kitchen spaces inside are spacious and comfortable. Wood burning fireplace was great during our stay as it was the autumn months when nights can get chilly. Owners provide plenty of wood which is very generous of them. The property grounds are spectacular! Much larger and more expansive than the photos indicate. Plenty of space to walk with my dog. The home is peaceful and private but yet only 20 minutes from downtown Brunswick & Bath and all the shopping areas when you need supplies. I am an experienced vacation home renter and this is definitely one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. I’d give it 10 stars if I could!

So enjoyed our stay at Holly's house, and meeting the owner herself. Can't say enough.

Curtis House is a beautiful, peaceful retreat that exceeded my expectations. The house is cozy and comfortable and the grounds are incredible, with birds galore (everything from humming birds to wild turkeys on a daily basis!). Holly is an excellent host. I'll be back.

We loved staying in this comfortable cottage on a spacious private property. Wild turkeys and deer occasionally showed up and there were lots of bird species visiting the feeders. The location is a perfect spot for getting out and seeing the nearby attractions of Brunswick, Freeport, Boothbay, etc.

My partner and I cozied up for a month in this idyllic Maine cottage a short walk from the sea. We had a wood fire almost every evening, (thank you Nat for all the neatly chopped and stacked firewood), and took a lot of walks breathing in the fresh, crisp autumn air, while our cat Sardine lived her best life in the sprawling back yard. Fully stocked kitchen, and a Natural Foods store in Brunswick (20 min away) made it easy to prepare meals while staying away from the city. Super fast internet connection plus a separate office made my partner’s daily “work from home” situation seamless. Plenty of nearby trails and islands and mom & pop places for lobster rolls just a short drive away! We very much appreciate the R&R we experienced at The Curtis House, thank you again, Holly and Nat.

We loved the house and how secluded it felt. Abby really enjoyed being able to walk in the backyard off leash...she especially loved rolling in the grass and being able to do what she wanted whenever she wanted!! We definitely recommend Cundy's Harbor....Hawkes store and the Holbrooks Store. If you eat lobster...you MUST eat at the Dophin and Erica's. Hands down the best we had on our visit. We enjoyed Morse's and Cooks as well as Gurnet's Trading Co. Pammy's ice cream was great. Mom did prefer the Island Candy company. Make sure to full up your gas tank in Brunswick...there are NO gas stations after that! The house was very clean and checking in was easy. It would be nice if there was a motion light or a light of any kind on the back porch. Make sure to bring spray for mosquitos .... not sure if just the season or what, but they are out!! We enjoy watching the squirrels run and play as well as the birds and butterflies. We got to see an adult porcupine climb the tree out back, as well as a baby one the day we left. We weren't sure what it was at first, so we kept Abby safely inside!!
