About this property

Quaint antique island home

Roomy three bedroom house. Downstairs master bedroom (queen bed). Upstairs bedroom (queen), bedroom (2 twins). Large living room, formal dining room, two full baths, den, kitchen, laundry, shed. We offer two HDTV's with free high speed wireless internet, a landline phone, and a library and board games. Enjoy a large, mowed back yard, shore privileges, and a view of sunsets over Harpswell Sound. Patio with gas grill and seating available in the back yard. This is an old house, with plenty of charm, but floors are not completely level in spots and the carpeted stairs to the upstairs are somewhat steep.

We are located south of Brunswick approximately 11 miles from Cooks Corner, which makes for easy day trips up and down the rt 1 corridor. Several local grocery stores and shopping are nearby. Local beaches, restaurants, ice cream and gift shops are a quick drive from the house. There are plenty of walking trails nearby as well.

We enjoyed our stay at the Orr House. It was nicely situated to all the attractions we were looking to explore. The Giant Stairs trail was our favorite in the immediate area. My 3 and 6 year olds loved seeing the wildlife on the property, as well. Thank you!

We stayed at Mal’s house it is amazingly beautiful!The flowers were beautiful, we arrived at the perfect time. The decor and every room was perfect. We were all overjoyed with the location. My mom and Aunt 89 and 90 years young could not get over the gorgeous back yard we had Turkey’s, and chicks a doe and her fawn along with ducks wandering through. We are all ready to make our next planned trip.

Comfortable, spacious home in Harpswell

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. It's very spacious, with a nice backyard, and the rooms are very comfortable. While it's not directly on the water, it's still a lovely spot on Orr's Island. The communication with the host was excellent. Beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything needed--even a lobster pot! The room with the twin beds was adorable. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms (master is on the main level) are steep, but typical for a New England home of that age.

Wonderful vacation!

Orr House is an absolute gem ! It is comfortable, spacious, and well outfitted with everything you might possibly need. The property is serene and rolls along to the water. Sunsets are gorgeous right from the backyard. We felt surrounded by nature, and enjoyed watching a turkey family, deer, dicks, and many birds. It was a joy for us to stay in this historic home, and our hosts Mallory and her mother Joan made our week complete!

Enjoy Maine just as it should be.

A great place to stay and enjoy all that "Down East" Maine has to offer. Great location on Orr Island (close to Portland and Booth Bay Harbor), about half way between Boston and Acadia National Park. Clean, quaint, and with all the amenities you could need, this was the perfect home for us to stay for our Maine getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Mallory R

Host profile image
We purchased this home after years of summering on Orr's Island. The home is very special to the family as it was my grandmother's residence and my parents' home for a number of years. My parents now live nearby and we have chosen to share this lovely spot for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

The location of this property is ideal for day trips in the midcoast area and has all the great charm an island vacation can provide. Cool ocean breezes keep the climate temperate and the salt ocean air is soothing to the soul.

What makes this property unique

On a summer night enjoy the stars easily visible without all the light pollution that you would experience in a city. Catch some fireflies and watch for deer and turkeys parading around in the moonlight.
