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.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Long Lake. The vacation home includes amenities such as a kitchen and 3.5 bathrooms.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine, and 3.5 bathrooms
  • Just a 3-minute walk from Long Lake and a 3-minute drive from Deertrees Theatre and Cultural Center
This vacation home offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

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.

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

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!

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.

Wonderful Family Stay!
This was my family's 3rd year returning here, and we had a wonderful time. The house, lake, and local area appeal to everyone in our multigenerational group. We all love being so near to the water, and the walkability of Harrison for ice cream and basics. The location is beautiful and the house is lovely. Barbara is also very helpful and responsive. We briefly had a power outage during a storm on this visit, and she responded to my message right away, and was immediately in touch with local services to report the outage and get an ETA for us on the repair. Everything was resolved within about 2 hours. I highly recommend this location!

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 Getaway
2nd time staying at 64 Main & we are always excited for our stay. The house is amazing, Barb has thought of everything that we would need for a stay. The home has such a warm and charming feel. The location is amazing for fun activities. If I had to pick 1 of my favorite rooms (which is very difficult to do), I would say it’s the side porch. Having my morning coffee and watching my kids work on a puzzle together is awesome. Never once did our 3 kids say, “I’m bored!”. Thanks again Barb, looking forward to next summer at 64 Main. Meg

Beautiful, Spacious Home, Convenient Location
Our family group of 10 (18 months--73 years old) had a wonderful week in this spacious, beautifully appointed home with its modern conveniences mixed with traditional charm. Communication with the property owners was easy and prompt. They were so considerate, even writing to make sure we knew about a new pub in town and a town fair, which turned out to be a hit with the children. We were greeted with lovely fresh flowers and a box of donuts. The proximity to the playground and sandy beach was terrific. The big lawn around the house was perfect for outdoor games. Listing photos of the interior don't show how attractive and pleasing the house is.

The Way Life Should Be!
A stay at this spacious, historic home with a large, well maintained yard and within walking distance to a lake and small town amenities is quintessential Maine. Our family of 7 adults and 3 children thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in Harrison. We took advantage of the great weather and swam in Crystal Lake daily, walked to get ice cream, played lawn games, toasted marshmallows and sat by the fire pit. Breakfast and lunch on the screened in porch was delightful. Once the kids were in bed, the adults enjoyed sitting around the dining table playing more games and chatting late into the night. A perfect Maine vacation! The house is very well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and is decorated beautifully with interesting pieces pertaining to Harrison and Maine in general. Browsing through the library of books and board games was a pleasure. Barbara is an excellent host and the best communicator we have dealt with when renting vacation homes, always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I would return to 64 Main and recommend it highly to anyone who would like to experience the way life should be!

Terrific Stay For All Generations!
Three generations of my family returned for a second summertime stay, and had another wonderful time. The walkability to the playground and lake are wonderful, the house is very comfortable and spacious, there is a great backyard for more outdoor play options, and Barbara is very communicative. Everyone in our group was able to spend all the time we wanted together, but there is also enough space to allow for individuals to have time to themselves when they needed this too--which was helpful for the neurodiverse member of our group and anyone who needed a nap. We enjoyed being able to walk to ice cream, and the local Pinehaven trail and obstacle course, as well as a visit to Portland within a reasonable driving distance. We visited the lake and playground every day, and loved them every time. Thank you for another great family trip!

Perfect Family & Friends Retreat
Our large, geographically scattered family all gathered in late February to attend the memorial service of a much-loved uncle/brother-in-law. It was a very bittersweet time. 64 Main welcomed us with open arms, wrapped us in a giant hug and gave us a soothing place to heal. We couldn't have asked for anything better. The house has been solidly renovated and beautifully decorated and furnished with everything you could need -- but still feels like a home that's been in your family forever. It handles very large groups with ease. Barbara and Ron are thoughtful hosts. We arrived to find not only a huge box of fabulous breakfast pastries and a lovely note, but vases full of tulips everywhere we turned! The house and the hosts exceeded every expectation and then some. We'll be forever grateful. Thank you for everything!
