About this house rental
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.
(Note: This property is equipped with exterior cameras and any illegal activity is reported directly to local police. Thank you for respecting the BRH.)

We (two adults, kid, dog) spent a full week at this house. Our toddler loved the name, announcing every day that we were “back at the Big Red House!”The house offers plenty of space. For an older home, the kitchen is surprisingly large. The washer and dryer proved a real luxury with full schedule of outdoor activities. The host made everything easy. She sent a message the day of check-in with all the details we needed before we could even ask, the keypad code was simple to remember and checkout was refreshingly low-effort — none of the bed-stripping and trash-hauling routines many rentals require.The house is dog-friendly for an extra fee with the reasonable request that pets stay out of one room with a white rug. That was no trouble; we kept the doors closed all week.A few notes: The covers on the living room sofas gave the beautiful home a dated, fussy feel. We understand the precaution in a pet-friendly rental, but it wasn’t necessary for our dog — a well-trained, housebroken 10-year-old who doesn’t shed or sit on furniture — and it felt a little odd to spend the week on covered sofas. Also, there’s no air conditioning, which we hadn’t noticed when booking. It wasn’t an issue during our mild-weather stay, but the upstairs bedrooms would likely get warm in a heat wave. Floor fans are in every bedroom though. Finally, the backyard deck has no seating. We were glad we brought camp chairs to enjoy the cool Maine evenings. We’d happily return for a future stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the BRH. It was more than enough room and very comfortable. We also appreciated having the laundry access. Bangor was a great city, and it’s very convenient to Bar Harbor. Would stay here again!
