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.) ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina - On a river ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118060000/118059000/118058977/62de99b3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 3-bedroom house with AC, WiFi and a large yard in the heart of Bangor!
