We were four couples, six of us friends of almost sixty years, who came together to celebrate our connection to each other, and marvel at the beauty of the land and sea in this magical and wondrous place called The Blue Hill Peninsula of Maine. All of us have traveled the world and have experienced many types of accommodations over the years. Each of us, and all of us, were completely taken by the beauty of the setting before we set foot in the house, and once inside the door, felt we could not have made a better choice in booking a property for our stay. Each couple had total privacy in spacious and charmingly decorated suites with private bathrooms, and many choices for finding a quiet spot in the common rooms, inside and out. The kitchen was outfitted with anything a gourmet cook could desire (we had several amongst our group), and servingware befitting this glorious house. Several in our group are already making plans to return to this absolutely perfect property with their children and grandchildren. I would actually give this property ten stars, and honestly believe each of us in our large group would do the same. Bravo! And thank you, Laura, for being totally accommodating and available to answer our every question, and provide us with wonderful information about this special place in Downeast Maine.

This house is perfection! A beautifully appointed, well-maintained, bright, cheerful and spacious home so everyone can spread out for work or play. It has a well-stocked kitchen that is an ambitious cook’s dream. And the views? We spent as much time as we could on the patio with breath-taking views of the bay, surrounded by a meticulously maintained garden. However views from dining room, family room and master bedroom were also great. The town of Blue Hill is adorable. Local hikes, galleries, shops, kayak rentals, and proximity to Acadia National Park means there is plenty to do. Enjoy it all!

We spent an amazing week in this beautiful home! The view was gorgeous and we truly enjoyed sitting outside watching the water and the cute duck family with their ducklings! There is so much to do— hiking Blue Hill Mountain, going into Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Deer Isle, exploring Blue Hill, and finding great restaurants! Laura is a fantastic host and she answered all our questions about the area before we arrived. Harbor House is lovely! We appreciated that each bedroom was unique and had their own bathrooms. The living space had everything we needed, including games and puzzles, and plenty of space to be together and spread out. It was hard to leave. We look forward to returning. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

What a wonderful home you shared with us. We enjoyed views and ocean breezes from all angles and corners. We had quiet nooks for contemplation and areas for rousing conversations and games! The kitchen is a delight, we had great times cooking and kibitzing. It is well stocked for with pots and pans and with plates, flatware, glasses and serving supplies. Except for the want of a microplane, the cooks among us were thrilled. The Harbor House is perfectly located for day-trip adventures. Bar Harbor windjammer cruise was a fave, as was lunch at the Bagaduce Lunch. Groceries and other needs quickly and easily handled by the locals. Blue Hill was lovely. Arbor Vine a real delight, sad to hear it is last summer for them. The music at Kneisal was wonderful. We could not be more pleased. Thank you for allowing us in.
