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.

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.

5 star rental!!!

The property was exactly as described and more. It had lots of spices, condiments, coffee & filters (drip coffeemaker). The large living groom had plenty of sitting areas. It also had a cute reading nook with tons of books and another TV. Be sure to walk down the back at sunset!

Love to return soon

We really enjoyed staying at "quaint antique" home. It was very spacious, well decorated with a modern and vintage mix, and comfortable. A good location on Orr's Island and about two minutes by car from Bailey Island. It fit the bill as a home away from home.

Lovely!

This was a lovely place to stay. I felt right at home in the old house (we live in a 1911 bungalow in Tulsa, so I'm familiar with old house quirks). Being able to walk down to the water was a lovely surprise as well.

A nice place to stay

The house was a nice place to stay at. Everything was clean when we arrived. We didn't experience any issues during our stay. They had provided everything that you needed for your stay. They have a nice walkway down to the water. I would recommend to others and would stay there again the next time we visit.

Perfect week on Orr's Island

We had the perfect week at this spacious, unique house! Prime location with plenty of room for our family of four to relax, play in the yard, and outfitted with everything we needed. Great showers, comfortable beds, tons of room to spread out, and perfect cool breezes through the windows overnight and every morning. Spotlessly clean, well stocked kitchen supplies, and fans and ACs for the few times the temps felt a little too hot. We hope to come back again next year! Thank you!

Wonderful Rental

We had a great time at this property. The home had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The home was close to restuarants and swimming and had a nice private yard. Our family loved watching the deer under the apple trees. We would definitely recommend this rental.

A great place to stay

The house was very clean and spacious with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. The uneven floors and steep staircase do require good mobility, but doable. The setting is very quiet and it was easy to get to many sights. Nearby restaurants and galleries/artisans were a plus. The Wi-Fi was strong which was great since cell coverage was spotty. It was humid the week we were there and the ACs and fans helped out. The hydrangeas and the reading book were added bonuses. We would return!

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.
