You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

Barbara (and her husband) were outstanding at communicating and making sure everything was great. They responded immediately when we had a request. The amenities were amazing (who equips a rental with Cuisinart kitchen appliances and pots/pans)? We had a great weekend and this house was clearly part of what made it so.

We stayed for the second time in august and it was just as nice as we remembered. The park and beach are perfect for our 2 and 4 year old and there are plenty of bedrooms for our large family to stay. You can walk to 2 general stores, a restaurant, ice cream and a marina if you’re renting a boat.

We had the most lovely stay in Harrison at Barbara’s home! The pictures don’t do it justice— the home is beautifully decorated, extremely well-equipped, and wonderful for a big group gathering. Many happy memories were made here this weekend and we would recommend this property to anyone.

Perfect house

Family vacation. We had great time. The lake with a playground is just behind the house. The house is fully equipped with just everything you can think of including a popcorn machine…. We really had a great time. The kids loved having their own floor which was wonderful. It’s even more beautiful than the photos

Memories

What a lovely home! Old Maine charm, with modern luxury, and steps to Crystal Lake! Our family enjoyed every moment of our stay. Coffee on the screened porch in the morning, big breakfasts and dinners prepared in a fantastic kitchen with open dining and space for everyone to gather together. We loved the spaces created for the children, plenty of books and games to play in the evening. This was the best stocked home of any we have rented! We are so grateful! We would love to stay again.

Fantastic house- had everything we needed and more. Property owner was very responsive- we noticed a couple wasp nests on the house and she had someone over spraying the nests immediately. Easy two minute walk to the lake and playground- fantastic for the kids- and a nice large yard to play in.

Amazing Location

This home is truly perfect. We stayed at 64 Main Street with two other families, 6 adults and 7 kids under 6. The home was awesome, three floors with the third floor being a loft style space, the kids were obsessed. Then the lake, playground, basketball court, restaurant, general store and ice cream are all within a 5 minute walk. We didn't have to put our kids in the cars once! Anyone looking for a chill vacation spot with all of the conveniences this is the place to be! We will definitely be coming back!

Another great summer

Our second summer at the property was as good as the first time. Fresh flowers and pastries welcomed us into the home. We did find wasps behind the grill, but the owner came by and sprayed a few hours after we notified her. Garage is stocked with all you need for the lake. Plenty of games with plenty of space to play them in.
