Perfect country house. We stayed for a week around a wedding event across the road - loved the location as well.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Parker house! Just as describes with a picturesque and quiet setting. I would definitely recommend staying here, we especially enjoyed spending evenings in front of the fireplace.

We're so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay, Laura. Maine in the fall is simply gorgeous and perfect for cozying up to the fireplace.
The Parker Head House was the perfect location for our friends and family to stay - not only for the wedding at the 1774 Inn our friends were standing up in - but for its location to Bath and Popham Beach. The house is roomy - the kitchen was clean and well equipped, the upstairs bedroom with 4 twin beds was useful and big. The host’s communications and the House “Rules” book was clearly written. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to recommend to others.
It was wonderful, we rented it because we got married across the street on the weekend. We rented Tuesday-Sunday so we could come up early, have some time, an extra space for loved ones

We were honored to host you and your family before the big day. Congratulations again on your wedding. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!
Wonderful house to rent for our family to stay during our wedding weekend! The owners were attentive and responsive. The house was beautiful and clean. Highly recommend!
Relaxing and beautiful home close to best beach in Maine!
This is a comfortable, beautifully appointed house full of well-chosen vintage furniture and art. It was a pleasure to read in the living room with the breeze gently blowing through the windows. We enjoyed walking on the trails close by, getting morning coffee up the street at Bisson's market, and buying fresh produce for dinner at the farm stand nearby. Best of all, it's about 15-20 minutes from the fabulous Popham Beach. Highly recommended.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the comfort and charm of the house, with its carefully chosen vintage decor. It sounds like you made the most of the nearby trails, morning coffee runs to Bisson's market, and the local farm stand for fresh produce—such perfect touches for a relaxing stay. And we're thrilled you appreciated the easy access to Popham Beach. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for more coastal relaxation!
We had the best time at Parker Head House. The home itself is cozy yet plenty of space to spread out. The fireplace was a bonus for chilly May nights in Maine. There is a convenience store right up the road where we walked many times, and nearby trails we walked our dogs on. A short drive to Popham Beach made our beach day a breeze. We also really appreciated the recommendations from the host. We can’t wait to plan our next trip to Phippsburg!

Rented this house for my son’s wedding across the road at the 1774 Inn. It was just what we needed for easy access for our extended family and for us to stay the night after the wedding....we didn't want the magic to end!
Patricia & Litty were super communicative and attended to our requests quickly.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled our home could add to the magic of your son's wedding weekend. It was our pleasure to ensure everything went smoothly for you and your extended family. We hope to welcome you back for more memorable moments!
We’ve been renting properties for years and this is the best yet! We spend our days at the beach & dinners out. This location is great for both. Beautiful inside and out. So nice to have a washer & dryer. (And the mudroom to keep sandy gear from the rest of the house!) lol I’m a mom.

We're so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay with us, Joanne and the "Mom" amenities we offer.
Excellent and recent renovation. Spacious bedrooms, lots of common space downstairs, though we gravitated to sun porch with windows open. New appliances in kitchen, lots of room to cook. The pond about 200 metres down the road is an excellent swimming spot. Only suggestion – more chairs for sitting outdoors, maybe bigger deck, though the mosquitos were a bit of a deterrent during our visit. Loved the place.

Thank you for being a great guest! It was a pleasure hosting you…. Thank you for the feedback on how we can improve the home for future stays. We look forward to hosting you again, Roger!
The description and pictures are very accurate of the property. It has everything needed for great getaway, fully stacked kitchen, plenty of towels and comfy beds. Location was perfect (for us) although if you have small kids proximity to the road and lack of fence could be a concern. We liked being near the state park with great views and plenty of open spaces to walk and having close access to rest of Maine (highway 15 minutes away). There is also a nice pound to swim in just the down the road with fresh water and five minute walk (again for those without kids as the area is adjacent to a road and it gets deep really fast). There is an inn across the street from the property and they were having a wedding with loudish music there while we were staying.
However it ended at 10:00 (not sure if his is typical) while we didn't mind it (actually liked it lol) others could feel differently. Loved the porch area that was fully enclosed, so if the bugs are to much it offers a nice retreat, you can open all the windows and have no itch next day! Another nice touch: we have dogs with us and we were provided with cages to keep them locked up in case we left them alone. All and all would stay there again!!

We highly recommend this property!

Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you found the house comfortable and well-equipped. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing week in Maine!
This is an excellent property about 45 minutes from Portland. We spent three weeks there and loved every second. The house is wonderfully cared for and close to a lot of great things to do like hiking, the beach, and heading into Portland or Freeport. I hope to stay there again next time. If you’re a piano player, the grand piano is a real treat. The kitchen was well stocked with nice pots/pans and the Viking stove made cooking even better. The caretaker was super responsive as was the owner for any questions we had. Highly recommend this place. There’s even a nice store less than a quarter-mile away that has a pretty decent selection of food, wine, beer, etc.

Very clean and inviting. Close to the beach and the mill pond where we watched the seals play every evening at the rapids.
Would certainly rent again when in the area
