About this property

Architectural Lighthouse

Pineplace Lights is a uniquely designed elegant architectural lighthouse designed by architect Mark Ruhle. It was his vision that each space is unique. Therefore you will find each room a comfortable delight eliciting different senses and feelings.

Pineplace Lights is nestled in the deep pine woods of Orrs Island Maine overlooking historic Lowell's Cove. Come experience the essence of Maine which inspired artists such as Andrew Wyeth and Winslow Homer as well as the children's book 'The Whale in Lowell's Cove.' Walk to the nearby beach to lounge in the sun and to enjoy the salty air. Afterward, enjoy a fun evening of dining and relaxing at various local restaurants or just stay in and cook your own meal in our carefully equipped kitchen. At night you will sleep deeply and soundly in our comfortable beds, the sounds of the cove a lullaby.

You can share many happy hours with your family and friends while sitting on our wide deck which catches the sun of the day and the breeze off Lowell's Cove. Almost every room in the house has a spectacular Cove view. There are 6 bedrooms and seven decks. There is a large backyard that includes an acre of Pine Forest. There is a small secluded studio in the woods. Kids can use it for a hangout. Adults can paint, write, read, or just meditate.

Choose to spend your vacation at Pineplace Lights and you will never regret a moment. It is an experience that will give you memories that will last a lifetime.

Beautiful property with plenty of space.

This was a multi-generational trip and the property had plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax! It is decorated with interesting local art and you see Maine in the small touches. I loved that there was plenty of information available for local businesses. The kitchen offered all you need to feed a big group. It is one of my all time favorite VRBO visits and we hope to return soon.

Happy to be able to return

We stayed there 17 years ago and were thrilled that the house was still available. Owned and managed by the same people!!! The location is great. The view is fantastic. Only thing would be to prune the shrubs a bit in front for a better view from the first floor front deck!

Orrs Island Vacation

We had a great week's vacation. The house is beautiful with room for 11 of us. The view from the property of Lowells Cove is spectacular. There are several places for short walks with beautiful views. There are a few restaurants with excellent food. There is a great shop with all kinds of candy and ice cream.

Comfortable stay

We enjoyed the daily breezes, and the comfort of this house in a very beautiful area of Maine. There are small beaches nearby and Popham Beach is one of our favorite beaches, about a 50 min drive. We loved Cook’s Lobster House, 5 min drive, and ate at Little Saigon and The Maine Bistro, both in Brunswick and both were excellent. The owners/managers were responsive to any issues and needs. We would stay here again.

Beautiful house.

This is our 2nd time renting this home for our friends to have a “ lobster run”. Most of us came from PA but we also had a couple come from SC. The house is beautiful and very welcoming with plenty of room. It is located right at the end of a cove and you can literally watch the tide come and go. There is something like 10- 12 feet difference between high and low tides. Highly recommend this property.

Spectacular stay on Orrs Island

We couldn’t have asked for a better week! The house is absolutely stunning, with an exceptional water view. The modern, well-equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare several delicious home-cooked meals. There are bedrooms on all three floors—our son loved the tower room, while my husband and I enjoyed the two-room suite on the second floor, both with fantastic water views. The neighborhood is peaceful and ideal for a relaxing stroll by the water. This place definitely deserves 5+ stars!

Great stay with family over Bowdoin graduation

The house was very spacious with 2 living areas and a large eat in kitchen and multiple decks. The two room master and bedroom on the 3rd floor have sweeping views of Lowell’s Cove. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. The house is about 20 minutes from Bowdoin/Brunswick. We would definitely stay hear again.

Beautiful place

The house is gorgeous, in a beautiful location. We came with family members and had more than enough space to spread out (7 people). Directly across the small road is a little cove that lovely to look at. The kids also got in the water. It's not a "beach" but they'll take any place you can get in. As others have mentioned, the wifi doesn't remain strong through the whole house, and our phone connection was pretty weak. But we were happy to be less connected during our stay.

Casco Bay on Repeat

This was the second time we rented the Architectural Lighthouse for thanksgiving weekend and it was wonderful. There were 9 of us (three generations of family, all adults). Plenty of room for us with two living rooms and on one sunny day we spent time on one of the many decks overlooking the cove. Great family time in an absolutely lovely, picturesque setting. we enjoyed taking walks on Orr's Island and went to one of the microbreweries in Brunswick one evening. Looking forward to returning!

60th Anniversary

We rented for a 60th anniversary. Amble room for the entire family! Great kitchen, fully stocked even with lobster pots to have lobster bake. We were able to cook full meals with everything we would need! The view was amazing…over looking a cove! 3 bathrooms, no one was ever waiting. Owner was very accommodating with times and ready to answer any text. Highly recommend!!

Perfect family vacation home

Gorgeous, spacious, well-appointed in every way. The view is jaw-droppingly beautiful from the dining room, living room, and three bedrooms. Second living room had a fireplace and lots of kindling and seasoned wood. Comfortable furniture, beds, linens. Friendly neighbors. Sandy beach a couple of minutes walk. The shore is steps from the driveway. Two of the three teens barely looked at their phones in a week. The owner was thoughtful and careful to make sure we wouldn’t have any surprises. Owner’s instruction booklet was all about guests’ enjoyment of their stay. I would love to return.

Orrs Island is a beauty in the summer…

We loved our stay on Orrs Island. My wife and I had visited the Brunswick/Harpswell area in the past and loved it so much, but this time we were able to enjoy it with some of our other family members. The house is located in a perfect spot for some peace and serenity, as well as to bask in the ocean breeze and salt air. We were able to easily visit neighboring areas (like, Popham Colony and beach, Reid State Park, Five Islands, Pemaquid, Bristol, Boothbay, Harpswell, Bailey’s Island, Brunswick, etc.) and see many different sites. The house was clean and homey. Lots of relaxation time was spent on the decks and playing card games around the patio table. We made use of the charcoal grill and laundry machines, took strolls around Lowell’s Cove. We had a lovely time and would consider renting again in the future, should an opportunity present itself.

A Phenomenal Memory Frozen in Time

My family and I have been vacationing on Orrs Island for over 35 years - ever since my sister Paula and her husband Andy bought a house there. As our family grew - each year we all walked by your Architectural Lighthouse and collectively said "We are going to rent that one day!" Well the day finally arrived and boy did we make some phenomenal family memories that shall be past down to next generations. They say never judge a book by its cover but in this case the cover DID match the book. The inside of this place is perfect for large families and the mutliple decks were enjoyed sunrise and sunsets. Short walks to Lowell's Cove for beach days, walking across the Cribstone over to Cooks Restaurant, taking schooner rides, the delcious Candy Store and on and on. Besides the place being as advertised we also had a excellent real time comunication with Stacey our host. She kept us informed and answered all questions. I highly recommend anyone looking to freeze an incredible memory in time - RENT THIS.

Lowells Cove Retreat

A very nice place to stay. Some of our friends who planned to come to Orr's Island backed out at the last minute. Two couples had the run of the big house. My college roommate made it a point to sit outside on the deck each morning to take in the solitude of Lowell's Cove and watch the tide come or go out. Due to COVID, neither he nor his wife had travelled long distance for 5 years. They loved the place as much as I did. We noticed a problem with the front door, and contacted the host. She replied almost immediately and sent someone to look at the door. He was unable to fix the door, but at least we knew that the host was serious about doing something about the door.

Beautiful view

My whole family stayed in this rental and had a wonderful time. The view is amazing and there was plenty of space for us to all be together or separate when we wanted. My only complaint would be that the tall grass in front of the driveway blocks part of the view from the lower level. Beside that it was perfect for what we wanted.
