We booked the Big Red House to be close to the Maine amphitheater for a concert. It was big enough for all of our family as well as our 2 dogs. A peaceful place with plenty of room and charm. The host Cindy is delightful. Will stay again when coming to Bangor !

The BRH was perfect for my entire family. All up for the weekend for a family wedding. Saved us money on hotel rooms for sure. Cindy was very responsive to all my inquiries. There is not one thing I can think of that we weren't happy with. Cozy, clean... Even found pins for an emergency last minute dress malfunction. Had a wonderful time and would definitely come back.

Everything went well with this stay- it is a bit of a long walk to downtown and up a hill back, but the housing worked well.
