About this house rental

Built in 1800 as a ship builder's home on 8.5 acres, this property boasts a PRIVATE pier and inground pool. The house has two wood stoves, a fully remodeled and equipped kitchen, a large jacuzzi tub with flat screen TV in master bath. There are lovely views of the grounds, hills and water from the entire back and side of the home. Perfect home for families. Large windows in the master bedroom make it easy to spot bald eagles and gaze at the water for hours! This house, on the edge of town has plenty of space to walk , hike or bike. The new walking/biking trail which goes into the town center is right at your doorstep. It is also directly across from a nature preserve with walking trails. A private pier on our waterfront allows for wonderful salt water dips on warm afternoons and is great for nature watching.


Secluded yet located in town: A large deck spans the rear of the home and connects with a screened in porch. A private pool on the property is just what is needed for cooling off in the summertime. Private ~yet in-town ~ you can walk to anything in this lovely quaint city. Within a few blocks, you can dine at several wonderful cafes / bakeries and restaurants, grab an ice cream, shop, visit galleries, take in a movie at the local theatre, or watch the action at the town dock. A town park offers free tennis courts, wonderful playground, a pool, and a beach.

Waterfront activities: Fishing poles, lifejackets, kayaks on site & ready to go! Very safe boating since the house is located on the inner harbor. Take a boat up into the river or downtown for a refreshment. We have a resident pair of Loons which you can watch as they catch their meals. Eagles and Ospray soar above, competing for fish. Even an occasional seal will pop up. Please remember most of Maine is wilderness with wild life all around. There are insects like mosquitoes and spiders. There are frogs, toads and turtles that call the land their home. Occasionally spiders, mice and bats make their way into the house. We do not intentionally host them so please don’t freak out if you see one. They are harmless creatures.

and more.: Picnic on the dock, fields or the gazeebo. Take a nap in the bunkhouse overlooking the water. Check out the pear, apple and peach trees located on the property. Identify the bird calls. There is something for everyone.

The Belfast walking/biking trail is located right at the edge of the property. The path takes you north, away from town along the water or south along the water into Belfast center. The convenience of your own path along the water taking you into town is unique.

Also located about 100 yards to the north of the main house is also a 1 bedroom plus loft bed, 1.5 bath cottage overlooking the water on the north end of Riverbend. If you have extra company or your family needs more space, this is the place for you. You will never forget your stay at Riverbend Estate. Cottage is additional $250 per night.

Our stay at Jon’s beautiful historic home was just wonderful. The gorgeous expansive property is set above the bay on a hillside covered with flower meadows, blackberry bushes and fruit trees as well as a lovely lawn area. Lots of space to sit outside for dining and lounging while taking in the beautiful view. The private dock is perfect for swimming and kayaking in the quiet bay. Our family also enjoyed lounging by and swimming in the pool. The historic house had plenty of room for our crew of 7 people and actually has 4 full (1 recently added en-suite) and 1 half bath. The master suite is incredible. We’ve stayed at dozens of vacation homes over the years and this was the best.

Stunning property, incredible location, felt like a real home not a house just made to be a rental. So much charm and character. Thoughtful details throughout. The dock, the bike path to town, the pool, the house itself— all epic. We had a fabulous week as a family.

Excellent location- convenient hiking trails with wonderful views. Close to town too! A great home with character and plenty of room for all!

The property is as described and is perfect for a large group. There is plenty of common space but also large enough that if you are looking for some alone time you can have it. The property is very large with several out buildings and a dock at the river.
