The Red House, float, rowboat, boathouse, and 1of 2 beaches, at high tide
Location: North Haven, Mid-Coast & Islands, Maine, USA (Access by ferry from Rockland, ME, Penobscot Bay) View Map
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Enjoy a spectacular view of sunsets across Penobscot Bay - dotted with small islands - and the Camden Hills beyond, from this waterfront secluded cottage. Directly above the tide-line, you'll hear gulls, lapping waves, wind in the trees, occasional lobster boats hauling traps, and two or three boats clinking on their moorings in Bartlett's Harbor.
The quintessentially Maine summer house is lovingly maintained and furnished with antiques, while also offering the comforts required today.
For many years part of an artists' colony at Bartlett's Harbor, this house was named "The Red House" (though now gray-shingled). It is one of three houses on the west side of Bartlett's Harbor, which is perfect for rowing and exploring. Children love to search for mussels, starfish, shells, seaglass, driftwood.

"We've never returned to the same location for our vacations in the past, but after discovering the Red House, we can't imagine being anywhere else. Sitting amidst a breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful setting, the Red House is a lovely, comfortable and cozy home. Memories made here are sure to last a lifetime."

"We are returning to the Red House for the third time this year and feel that it is 'home'. The location is breathtaking, the view fabulous, a great deal of time is spent staring out to sea, especially at sunset. The house is comfortable, homey and peaceful, with that unique North Haven charm. This is probably not the house for someone looking for the action!"
