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 bedrooms, each with a private en suite bathroom. (Information breakdown at bottom of page)

There is also a half bath on the main level near the entranceway.

Once you step through the charming wooden garden gate, you will be welcomed by colorful, meandering mature gardens, curving period granite rock walls, and a bluestone patio overlooking the harbor.
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. Harbor 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 special 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.

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 or right in Blue Hill.

**During our low season, (mid October - mid May), we have flexibility on check-in and check-out days with a 7 night minimum**

Harbor House has a sloping grassy area to the water, surrounded by terraced stone walls. The setting showcases lovely gardens where flowers are in bloom all season long.

The home was perfect in a cute little town with shops and restaurants. Best equipped kitchen we have ever experienced. The gardens at the home were absolutely stunning and we enjoyed late afternoons taking it all in. The home was very clean and had comfy beds. The host had some great suggestions for things to do and was quick to respond. You will not be disappointed staying here.

Our family enjoyed a thoroughly memorable week in Maine, where we stayed at the beautiful and historic house at 83 Main Street in Blue Hill. All nine of us were so impressed with the well-appointed home, gorgeous gardens, lovely views, and convenient access to the town's stores and restaurants. This clean, spacious home provided places for all of us to gather and spots to just sit alone to relax. We loved the en-suite bedrooms and the amazing gourmet kitchen. It was great to visit nearby Acadia, but we all agreed that the house was also a very special place. The owners are fortunate to have a wonderful property manager, Laura, who could not have been more friendly and considerate of our needs. We highly recommend this home to anyone planning a visit in Blue Hill.

Don’t hesitate to rent this property. It’s a beautiful home with lots of great space for groups or a big family to spend time together or quietly. The space was very comfortable and the outdoor spaces and views were remarkable. Laura was a tremendous host and the house was appointed with everything we needed during our stay. The location was superb with the opportunity to stay right in blue Hill or venture out a little in any direction to explore Acadia or any of the great towns and villages around. Blue Hills Main Street is very walkable. The restaurants and shops were great.

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.
