The Brick House in the Woods...room for a Large Family!

The Brick House in the Woods
Prospect, Maine


This wonderful house is nestled in the woods on 20 private acres. No matter the season, you will be comfortable and content during your visit. There is a gas fireplace in the living room and a wood-burning fireplace in the den (wood is available in the shed). Our home also boasts a heat pump for comfort during warm days of summer, as well as warding off the chill of cool, fall days. If there's a power outage, no worries! We installed a Generac propane generator!
Off the den, there's a 3-season sunroom, and in summer, a screen room on the patio in the backyard.
There are four bedrooms upstairs, and an office/ bedroom downstairs. In the den, there is a double bed pull-out sofa.
We can comfortably accommodate 10 people.
The kitchen is fully equipped, including small appliances, pots and pans, spices, and even flour, coffee, and sugar. Upstairs, there's a good supply of towels, sheets, blankets, and quilts. Upon arrival, you will find farm fresh eggs (seasonal) and other welcome surprises. WIFI is available, as well as a TV (antenna), a blue-ray player, great selection of DVD's, a cupboard full of board games for all ages, puzzles, and a wide variety of books.
Your well-behaved dog is welcome, as long as it is currently treated with flea control and is on a leash or under your control when outside (we live next door and enjoy a dozen free-range hens.)

The Brick House in the Woods is located approximately twenty minutes from the wonderful little city of Belfast where you’ll find many restaurants, a movie theater, and a beautiful oceanside trail, as well as several unique shops and art galleries. Halfway there, you’ll drive through Searsport, ” the antique capital of Maine”, where many interesting discoveries await. Travelling twenty minutes down Route 1 from Belfast will take you to Camden, a lively tourist destination, where restaurants and shops line Main Street, and the beauty of the harbor is a must-see.
Our house is approximately 30 minutes from Bangor International Airport, and an hour from Bar Harbor, where you’ll find spectacular Acadia National Park. Prospect is nearby several state parks: Swan Lake State Park in Swanville, Fort Point State Park, Moose Point State Park, and Fort Knox State Park, where you can visit the fort and view the beautiful panorama from atop the Penobscot Narrows Observatory. Bucksport is just across the bridge. There's a wonderful river walk in town, as well as restaurants, an antique shop, bakery, and winery, grocery and movie theater.
There’s plenty of woods to explore right outside the back door, but if you are looking for nearby hiking trails, there are some a short distance away. We look forward to your visit, and will do our best to make your stay at "The Brick House in the Woods" memorable!

We love this property, and our visits here may become an annual tradition. 11 of us stay to visit family in the area and the house setup works well for the adults and teens to each have their own space, or for all of us to get together. The hosts are very friendly and responsive- thank you!

Great family vacation

We were at Sue’s house for a family vacation and had a great time. The house is perfectly located in a secluded area where all you can hear is the sound of birds. It was a perfect place to relax after a super active day at Acadia park and Bar Harbor. We were also so excited to have farm fresh eggs complements of Sue ( thank you!). All and all a great stay. Would highly recommend this place

Perfect family gathering site!

This house worked out very well as a headquarters for five family members attending a wedding nearby. We invited other family members to a picnic in the backyard which was ideal. House was extremely well-equipped and clean and we appreciated the eggs! We would happily return!

Very Satisfied

We had a great stay. Comfortable house that was exactly as advertised. Plenty of space to spread out. Quiet neighborhood with plenty of privacy. We enjoyed visiting nearby Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Observatory. Acadia National Park is within striking distance as well (it took us about an hour and a half to get to the visitor center). The fresh eggs and bottle of wine were a great welcoming touch!

Very cozy home in the woods! Robust selection of kitchen items, games, books, and DVDs. We loved spending 6 days here in July with my sister and her family. We especially loved the fresh eggs waiting for us in the fridge! One note about being there in the summer- the sun rises very early, so bring a sleep mask if you’re sensitive to light in the mornings :)

Working in the Woods

My team and I stayed here to be closer to French’s Point for a large wedding installation. We are florists and the house was perfect for giving us all a room of our own and the flowers a cool spot to wait. The owners were communicative and kind - greeting us with fresh eggs for the morning and a bottle of wine for when the work was done. Very easy to pop into Bucksport (House of pizza) and Searsport (Hey Sailor) to treat ourselves to some good dinners. We felt like we were in a private oasis and then we would suddenly pop out into some of maines great, uncrowded, hidden gems.

Very nice warm house in the woods, remote, great opportunity to bond with family and nature, and if you need to get away from the harshness of city/urban life. Responsive host. Made it as base to Bar Harbor and Acadia and nearby small towns. We all had a wonderful time. Internet a bit slow can improve maybe but i guess its normal for the area.

A great long weekend getaway.

We enjoyed our long weekend in this house. It has many rooms, each one comfortable and inviting. We spent a little time in each one. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining area was very spacious. The bedrooms were roomy and the beds were comfortable I really enjoyed combing through the record collection. There were some real gems in there. The outside area didn't disappoint either. A fire in the firepit was a nice addition to evening coffee. Even just walking the grounds was a pleasant experience. Overall, this was a wonderful stay. We are very glad we picked this property and would recommend it to anyone else.

A Memorable Retreat Surrounded by Nature

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a remarkable property nestled amidst the serene woods, and I cannot express how truly exceptional my experience was. From the moment I arrived, it was evident that this was no ordinary getaway. Here's a detailed review of my memorable stay: The host of this property was simply outstanding. Susan's warm hospitality and attention to detail made me feel welcome and valued. They were readily available to answer any questions, provide local recommendations, and ensure that my stay was comfortable. Their genuine care and dedication truly made a difference. The house itself was a haven of tranquility. Nestled in the heart of nature, it boasted multiple sitouts that overlooked the picturesque woods. Each sitout was uniquely designed to offer a different perspective of the surrounding beauty. It was a true pleasure to wake up to the sound of birds chirping and enjoy a cup of coffee while immersing myself in the serene environment. The kitchen in this property was a delight for any culinary enthusiast. It was equipped with all the necessary appliances, making it a breeze to prepare meals. Whether you're a master chef or simply want to whip up a quick snack, you'll find everything you need right at your fingertips. In conclusion, my stay at this property was nothing short of remarkable. From the amazing host to the breathtaking views and thoughtfully curated amenities, every aspect of this experience exceeded my expectations.

Great home to stay in for a trip!

My family and I stayed here for 3 nights on a trip to Acadia. The location was nice, area was quiet and very calm. The property was also great, the only issue we had was some bugs that were around the house. The coffee provided was one of the best we've had! Susan was very kind and very helpful throughout the stay, I definitely recommend this place and would book again.

Cozy House in a beautiful area

This place was really exactly what we were looking for. We fit 8 very comfortably and could definitely have fit a handful more if we’d needed to. The kitchen was well equipped for a group dinner, and afterword we enjoyed sifting through the hug collections of records, dvds, and board/card games. The owners were super nice and receptive and they left us some delicious fresh eggs. I’d highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to visit mid-coast or downeast Maine. And thank you to the owners! We had an amazing weekend!
