About this house rental

Welcome to Harbor House in lovely, historic, Blue Hill, Maine.

We invite you to come and explore the Acadia National Park and the beautiful Blue Hill region.

We are pleased to offer 'Harbor House', an exquisite, high-end historic Blue Hill Village, waterfront home built in 1824 by Jeremiah Faulkner.

Harbor House has been meticulously renovated and has kept the distinctive 19th C. look and feel of an earlier time yet offers modern, high-end finishes and amenities. Discerning guests will truly enjoy this special property with unparalleled beauty both inside and out.

This upscale period home offers 5 beautiful bedrooms, each with a private en suite bathroom. (Information breakdown at bottom of page)

There is also a half bath on the main level.

Once you step through the charming wooded garden gate, you will be welcomed by colorful, meandering mature gardens, curving period granite rock walls, and a bluestone patio overlooking the water.
Enjoy the outdoor living space with hand cut stone steps which lead you to the shore of Blue Hill Bay.
Swim or kayak right from the water's edge at high tide and beach-comb at low tide!

Rent kayaks (Delivered right to the property from The Activity Shop) where you can easily launch them from the property and explore the calm waters of Blue Hill Bay.

Sun filled rooms are beautifully decorated with tasteful, comfortable furnishings. There is a formal living and dining room and a more casual family and dining room too. Beautiful water views from most every window, including several en suite bedrooms and bathrooms.

A spacious gourmet chef's kitchen will please the most discerning of chefs with dual Viking wall convection ovens and a 5 burner cooktop and 2 dishwashers. Granite counters along with many fine details will make your cooking and baking a joy.
(Spices and basic pantry items are supplied)

Enjoy your meals on a beautifully handcrafted dining table made from rare salvaged 19th C. wood while overlooking Blue Hill Bay.

A large screened-in porch is perfect for enjoying the tidal harbor views, gardens, visiting or relaxing with a book or enjoying quiet moments.

This very convenient Main Street location offers easy access to the charming village of Blue Hill yet offers amazing privacy.

Quaint shops, galleries, library, wine, bake and book shops, along with casual and formal restaurants dot this classic, sleepy village where time has almost stood still.

Harbor House is a rare opportunity to enjoy a private waterside home and views while being able to take walks through the village and the shore of picturesque Blue Hill Peninsula.
For an enjoyable morning or afternoon hike, enjoy the trail to the top of 'Blue Hill Mountain' with access just across the street.

A large, organic Blue Hill Co-Op grocery store, new YMCA, Yoga Studios, tennis courts, local Blue Hill potters, Golfing, Yacht club, nearby summer stock, live music events and plays, several beaches along with many other amenities are all available to enjoy near Harbor House.

Day and evening talks, programs and music are offered all season long by many prominent authors and musicians at the Blue Hill library as well as other near-by venues like Kneisel Hall and the Surry Barn.

Hike Blue Hill Mountain where the breathtaking views stretch from the hills of Camden to Acadia National Park.

Enjoy Blue Hill's Kneisel Hall (Founded by violinist Franz Kneisel in 1902) known as "the cradle of Chamber music in America". It has provided musicians the opportunity to immerse themselves in the chamber repertoire. Weekly Chamber Music concerts are offered by world-renowned faculty and guest artists.

Acadia National Park is our crown jewel and not to be missed. Enjoy magnificent 45 miles of Carriage Road Trails and 150 miles of trails at the Bar Harbor 'and' Schoodic Peninsula locations.

Be mesmerized by the breathtaking views atop the summit of not only Cadillac Mountain (The highest peak on the Eastern seaboard) but other mountain summits which have 360 degree views. Cadillac Mountain is where the sun first rises in the Continental U.S.

Mount Desert Island is where the main part of Acadia National Park is located. (Hulls Cove/Bar Harbor entrance) The Schoodic Peninsula is a 'not to miss' part of Acadia in nearby Winter Harbor.
Historic towns and villages are close so you can enjoy lots of history and charming offerings.

There are trails and mountain hikes for every age and ability. After a stroll or invigorating hike, enjoy a meal in Bar Harbor or in one of the neighboring charming villages that dot the Island. Enjoy the freshest lobster and fish in most every village and town.

What an amazing house! We were there with 3 other couples who are longtime friends that are now spread across the country. We enjoyed each having our own bathroom and plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen is huge and exceptionally well stocked. The only two negatives-there is a lot of street noise, which we eventually adjusted too. The big negative was that the washing machine was broken and one member of our group was planning to do laundry mid-way through the week since the amenities listed washer/dryer.

What an experience! The house was beautiful, you don’t know how important it is to have your own bath in every bedroom! The views were amazing and plenty of things within walking distance! Made our first trip to Maine such a great experience we decided to head back in a couple of weeks! Thanks Laura for opening your home to my family and for the recommendations, we loved every minute of it!

If I could give this property 10 stars I would! It’s a beautiful historic home with a lovely addition added. The VIEW is phenomenal. The kitchen is large with 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and a large island. Well stocked with everything you need to cook. Perfect for a larger gathering. The outdoor patio was a favorite spot for morning coffee and afternoon chats watching the 11 foot tide swings. A bathroom for every bedroom. Plus a powder room in main hall. Gorgeous blooming gardens well kept by a gardener all around the house. Clean, comfortable, absolutely lovely. The quaint town of Blue Hill has fantastic gift shops, yummy coffee shops, a few great restaurants, a lobster shack, a wine shop. The wine shop was closed and opened for us just so we could grab 2 bottles for our last night. They even corked it! Arborvine restaurant was one of the best meals of the week. Don’t skip it. Laura is extremely helpful with lots of local knowledge and very quick to respond. Lacey the housekeeper went out of her way to deliver surprises we had shipped. 7 women celebrating our 60th year together. We all LOVED the house! What a spot!!! Also close to all the amazing coastal sites in Maine. Just WOW.
