Summary: This was the best VRBO we have ever booked. It was huge, but we have rented huge places before. The difference here was in the tasteful, homelike quality of the rooms, bathrooms, furnishings and decor, and the vast amount of stuff that we had access to, from kids toys and books, to beach chairs and towels, and with more provided paper goods and linens/towels than any other place we have been. The house is an antique and charming, with a great front porch for rocking small children, and the backyard has a well equipped dining patio plus a vast expanse of soft green grass for kids and adults to play on. We used it for large dinner parties, wiffle ball games and special nights with conversation and music around the massive fire ring. The beach across the street was beautiful and good for swimming at high tide and strolling at low tide. The host, Bill Gray, was helpful and accommodating without being intrusive. It is rare that I have not found something missing in a rental-but the Big House lacked nothing you could possibly need in the large kitchen and usually was there in multiple versions (two fridges, two sinks, tons of cookware, tableware and cutlery). We would definitely stay here again.

Summary: Our entire family of 6 adults and 4 children absolutely loved this property!! The house is huge and spacious and extremely well furnished. There is everything you could ever want for a larger gathering! The backyard and fire pit were great in the evenings for roasting marshmallows and enjoying the great night air. It is a short walk to the beach and the kids found the shoreline to be very enjoyable. The owner is very responsive and extremely nice. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a wonderful Maine vacation!!!

Summary: We are a group of 10 friends who vacation together in Maine every July for a week. We just finished our 8th stay at the Big House. We love coming back every year to the always clean, always welcoming home. We all have our private bedrooms and private bathrooms. There's a front porch with great rockers and a private back patio. We even have room for a full croquet court. This is a great getaway for us, and we always appreciate the hospitality of our hosts!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at The Big House! Bill and Cathy were great hosts and their beautifully kept home was spacious enough to accommodate our family of 16 yet super cozy! The kids loved exploring the house and playing in the enormous backyard. There are books for everyone and games to keep the little ones happy. The trip to the oh-so-lovely beach across the road was perfect for the in-between trips to Acadia National Park and other local hiking trails. The kitchen was equipped with all the appliances and pots and pans we needed to make breakfast and several at home dinners (great stove!). All in all, a wonderful place to stay. We had a great time and can’t wait to come back!

Summary: We loved our stay at The Big House for our 5 families to get together and enjoy favorite spots on MDI as well as amazing places on the Blue Hill/Deer Isle peninsula. The rooms were perfect for the grandparents and the 4 families whose children include teenagers, preschoolers, and infants. The common rooms were large enough for all to play games, share meals, and hang out together. The kitchen is large and very well equipped with everything needed and beyond. The house itself is huge, as is the property that surrounds it, plus it has a private shoreline down a path across Bay Road, which was a perfect spot for kayaking. Bill and Cathy Gray are wonderful and gracious hosts that are willing to help with any needs. They have restored this wonderful 19th Century home in a tasteful fashion, with all the modern conveniences, but still embracing its original charm and period architecture. You will not be disappointed with this unique and special place.
