Photos and Description of the Orrs Island vacation cottage rental 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 8 - 16

This family house, 'Treetops' sits on a hill above the water. With a large wrap-around porch, it is the perfect place to enjoy cocktails on a Summer evening and watch the sun set over Mount Washington, NH and Harpswell Sound. House offers protected platform in Beal's Cove, part of Harpswell Sound, giving guests a perfect place to launch canoes, kayaks, or boats, to swim or to spend the afternoon skipping rocks. The house was built in the early 1900's, but newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms offer modern day comforts to complement the old Maine charm. Rooms include a den/study, living room, separate dining room, and the new spacious eat-in kitchen - all with great water views! Also, the house offers plenty of sleeping space (see above). Working fireplace in living room and gas fireplace in kitchen take the nip out of potentially chilly mornings or evenings. Family photos and details throughout. Also offers abundant land for outdoor games & shared tennis court.

Review Submitted: July 16, 2007 Date of Stay: July 2007
We just returned from a wonderful, relaxing, idyllic time at Treetops. The home is rich with history, much bigger than the photos depict, and our only complaint was that we could not stay longer. It was immaculate when we arrived and had everything we needed - We hope to return again next year! Thank you so much.

Perfect Property for Family Reunion

CT Girl Norwalk, CT
Review Submitted: August 3, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We held a long time coming, family reunion at Tree Tops. The property was perfect for the large group and for a lobster bake on a beautiful evening with the sunset blazing to top off the evening. The house was a typical Maine vacation house in that it was something right out of a book. However, the water quality in the house was very poor. There was a very high content of iron and sulphur. The sulphur gave a very unpleasant odor and the iron left stains on our clothes and towels. There needs to be a water treatment for the house. We would love to stay again but only if the water problem is rectified. I would recommend this property if the water was treated.
Owner's Response: We actually put in a brand new water filtration system before the summer began this past year. Unfortunately, it has not turned out to be what we expected and we have been tirelessly working with the water filtration system to rectify the problem. Basically the unprecedented amount of rain has not helped. We are currently looking at other alternatives such as adding further softeners or even converting the system to a light industrial system. As the family often uses the house, we know that this is a problem and have been doing everything we can to fix the situation.

Perfect for big family fun

sourdocurt Massachusetts
Review Submitted: September 5, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We are two families of four plus several friends passing through. The house and surroundings were an ideal base for a relaxing and invigorating vacation. Plenty of rooms for folks to spread out as needed, the porch is fantastic, good yard for play and water access, and fully functional kitchen and grill for large meals. Clay court tennis on site was a huge and unexpected hit with our 10-12 yr old kids!

Orr's Island offers great kayaking, fascinating coastline (esp. Giant Stairs on nearby Bailey Island), and easy access to town amenities just 20 min away in Brunswick (groceries, auto repair, and rainy day escapes).

The owners were very helpful and pleasant to work with.

We would definitely like to return.

Our family, including the dog, had the most wonderful time at your home. You all couldn't have been nicer or easier to work with. The house was perfect and the views were beautiful. We dug for clams, ate tons of lobster, enjoyed the row boat, played some tennis and had a blast at the campfire every night!! We explored the hiking trails in the area and loved all of the little helpful hints left behind from previous guests. Exploring the island, fishing and collecting rocks was the highlight for everyone especially the kids. We would recommend your home to anyone who asks!
