About this property

Swim, Kayak, lawn games. Walk to ice cream. Live Theatre , firepit smores!

64 Main sits on a large corner lot in the Friendly Village of Harrison, Maine. The current owner grew up in Harrison. He and his family returned in 2016-17 to restore his Doctor's former home. (Dr. Rubie Day was one of Maine's first female Osteopaths). As a young boy walking to school, Ron, would pass Dr. Rubie's house wondering if one day he would ever own a home like that.

Coming "home" has been a romantic journey, and reminder of what makes Harrison, and this home, a special place.

Harrison is in the heart of Maine's Western Lakes region, known for it's four season recreational opportunities and Village pace of life. Beginning in the Mid 1800's , steamboats and later the Narrow Gauge Railroad carried city dwellers to Harrison year after year. Boys and Girls camps flourished. Today there are families who have lived in Harrison for generations , welcoming those who come to their summer/ ski homes, and short term visitors alike.

From 64 you can walk across the back lawn to Crystal Lake, the town Beach, boat launch, and park. From the front door you are within blocks of the Town Library, year round Old Mill Restaurant (great food and frequent entertainment), and the Harrison General Store. Deertrees Summer Theatre, is just 1 mile "up the road".

When restoring 64 Main, the owner had his eye on creating a home that could accommodate many ages and host family reunions and small events. The owner collaborated with his wife who owned and operated an Award Winning small hotel in Portland for 16 years. They aspired that 64 Main be a place where families will come year after year, enjoying spaces to gather together as well as find moments.

64 Main has 6 bedrooms. 2 Master Bedrooms with King beds and en suite baths. One Master is on the first floor with a private deck. The third floor attic space is a classic kids loft that can easily sleep 6. The large family room (once a barn) and attached screened in porch are favorites of many.

The owner tried to preserve as much of the original house as possible while creating a lasting, safe, and comfortable home. The home was all new windows (30!), a new heating plant that utilizes the original radiators, all new plumbing and wiring, expanded new septic system, state of the art insulation, some air conditioning, all new appliances including a 6 burner gas stove, and a Fire Sprinkler system.

There are 2 onsite paved parking areas/ of space to accommodate a boat.

The home and grounds are smoke free. We love animals but do not allow pets.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We absolutely loved staying at Barbara’s home! Not only were they incredible hosts and very communicative, but the house was also beautifully appointed and so comfortable for a large group. We enjoyed the small touches like the bathrobes, fresh wildflowers and games for the kids. The beds were very comfortable as well. We would absolutely recommend the home to others!

We had a wonderful stay with a large group. The house was spacious, clean and very well equipped. The kids had a blast with the provided games, back yard and such easy access to the playground and beach. The adults loved cooking and hanging out together and having enough room at the dining room table for everyone. We would highly recommend to anyone.

We could not have been happier with our stay! The accommodations were spacious, welcoming, and brimming with New England charm. Our family, adults and kids alike, felt the house to be the perfect vacation home, walking distance to Crystal Lake and Long Lake. Our expectations were more than exceeded from the moment we got there, through the moment we returned (our host realized our daughter left a stuffed unicorn behind, and they mailed it to her within days of discovering it). We highly recommend booking this home for your next vacation.

This Harrison home was the perfect spot for our 50th anniversary celebration with our family of 14. The house was built in 1840 and has so much New England charm and an interesting history. It has been completely renovated, is spotlessly clean, has a beautiful modern kitchen, and a large expansive yard with a lawn, which was perfect for cornhole, football, baseball, and other games. Our 4 teenage grandkids loved the fully air conditioned 3rd floor loft. And we all enjoyed backing up to beautiful Crystal Lake. It was so much fun for all ages, including our 3, 5, and 6 year old grandkids who had a blast swimming and jumping off the dock, as well as playing in the playground.. The house has a lot of privacy so we never needed to worry about making too much noise late at night. We were minutes walking distance from Long Lake and several great restaurants, including Millie's and the Old Mill Tavern. The Creamery was a treat for the kids. The Tie Up Market in town was very handy too. Barbara was a delight to deal with and deserves an A for the way she runs her business. She was immediately responsive to any question or need which arose. We can’t say enough good things about our experience renting Barbara and Ron’s home. It was fully stocked with everything we needed, including beach chairs and toys. Our family members traveled from California and Montana and definitely hope to return someday. We highly recommend this rental.
