We can't say enough positive things about our stay at Harbor House. If we could add more stars, we would. Our communication with the host was outstanding, the house was perfectly situated in the center of Blue Hill, the views were picture perfect, and the house was out of a magazine. We are cooks and made meals almost every night from locally sourced and purchased food. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything our gourmet chefs could need. We had room to spread out but also comfortable gathering spaces inside and out. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. We rented kayaks and had several trips around the harbor. You can't ask for more.

We had 3 generations stay at the Harbor House . We rented kayaks & looked forward to each high tide to launch . The gardens were brilliantly lush & brimming with life . The home was tastefully appointed & intentionally thoughtful . So many places to walk to including restaurants , art galleries , book & toy store . The Blue Hill co op was a great spot for groceries & the local library’s children’s section had great stem activities . It was a leisurely ride to Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park . This charmer will not disappoint .

This is a lovely historic property, nicely restored for comfort. Location in Blue Hill is good for enjoying the outdoor activities of Acadia National Park area with the Visitors Center being about 45 minutes away. Although Blue Hill is small town, there are several very good restaurant options (at least two within walking distance) and at least two good grocery store options. The house itself backs up to a tidal estuary that was fascinating to watch as the tide came in and receded. Lobster fisherman loaded their boats at the pier within our view one morning. The house itself was just as pictured. Kitchen was extremely well appointed. Each of the bedrooms has a small bathroom, which was much appreciated by family members. Both the family room and the dining room were large, lots of windows with a view, both readily accommodated our group. The layout of the house was interesting, lots of nooks and crannies and squeaky floors -- just as one would expect from a historic home that had been added onto and renovated over the years. We very much enjoyed our stay and wished it could have been longer!

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.
