Summary: Myself, my parents, in laws, husband and two daughters all adored this property and our week in Blue Hill. The house is gorgeous with plenty of room for everyone - large spaces to be together and nooks and crannies for a private moment. The setting is spectacular - we launched kayaks right from the lawn and paddled to the Blue Hill rock to jump into the bay. The hosts truly thought of everything including beach chairs and towels, basics like laundry detergent, spices and olive oils and more. Communication was easy and prompt. The town is lovely and the local business owners were so friendly. In particular we loved Juniper for vintage finds, and Blue Chill for artisanal ice pops. Highly recommended!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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 .

Summary: 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!
