4 Bedroom House in Bangor

Welcome to the Big Red House, located in the Whitney Park Historic District in Bangor! We’ve made some upgrades and renovations and are excited to share them with you. Pine ceilings have been added, as well as new furniture, memory foam gel mattress toppers, and a renovated master bathroom. Built c. 1869, the BRH is one of the Queen City’s oldest homes. Once owned by sea captains and the father of a US Treasurer, the BRH is the perfect place to stay to experience Bangor, the once lumber capital of the world and one of the busiest ports on the East Coast. Visit the Penobscot Reservation on Indian Island near Old Town (about 20 minutes to the north) to learn about Maine's Penobscot Tribe. And the Bangor Historical Society down the street will shed light on Bangor's French, Irish, and English history.
At the 2600 sf. Big Red House, you'll enjoy a huge eat-in kitchen, 4 bedrooms (2 queen and 2 twin) - our downstairs office has a twin daybed and can be closed off to use as a bedroom, and upstairs laundry, pellet stove, garage, central heat, and private driveway. It's close to downtown, too! Great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families, and groups. A hop, skip and a jump away from lobster pounds, hiking trails, local theaters, shopping, dining, historical churches, museums, Hollywood Slots casino, and skiing. Check out the Bangor Waterfront along the Penobscot River, and Author, Stephen King's house located right down the street. Dogs welcome (no other pets, please.) And enjoy an edible gift from us to you just for choosing the BRH!
The BRH is a non-smoking property.

Summary: We made a trip to visit our daughter but it was also to help her open up her Pet Salon in Downtown Bangor. The house was a perfect location to her apt and the shop. The pictures on VRBO are what the house looks like inside.Remember it is an older home but has beautiful wood work throughout. It is a plus to have two bathrooms and a large kitchen as a gathering place. There is a deck with a fenced in backyard. The yard is shaded so just like anywhere can be hard to grow grass, there is a small front and side yard too.The owner went above and beyond for me on this trip. I had a special request and she was able to make it happen. I can’t say she will always be able to but for my request she did. Let’s just say my wife was very happy and I got bonus points for being a fabulous spouse. Ok on the stay, we do recommend this place and would stay again. The owner communicated with me when needed and allowed us to check in early but with traffic we weren’t able to take advantage of that extra time, unfortunately…but she was very accommodating. There is coffee, filters and a few things in the fridge that others may have left. So book the BRH and enjoy your stay like we did
