About this property
The Brick House in the Woods...room for a Large Family!
The Brick House in the Woods Prospect, Maine
This wonderful house is nestled in the woods on 20 private acres. No matter the season, you will be comfortable and content during your visit. There is a gas fireplace in the living room and a wood-burning fireplace in the den (wood is available in the shed). Our home also boasts a heat pump for comfort during warm days of summer, as well as warding off the chill of cool, fall days. If there's a power outage, no worries! We installed a Generac propane generator! Off the den, there's a 3-season sunroom, and in summer, a screen room on the patio in the backyard. There are four bedrooms upstairs, and an office/ bedroom downstairs. In the den, there is a double bed pull-out sofa. We can comfortably accommodate 10 people. The kitchen is fully equipped, including small appliances, pots and pans, spices, and even flour, coffee, and sugar. Upstairs, there's a good supply of towels, sheets, blankets, and quilts. Upon arrival, you will find farm fresh eggs (seasonal) and other welcome surprises. WIFI is available, as well as a TV (antenna), a blue-ray player, great selection of DVD's, a cupboard full of board games for all ages, puzzles, and a wide variety of books. Your well-behaved dog is welcome, as long as it is currently treated with flea control and is on a leash or under your control when outside (we live next door and enjoy a dozen free-range hens.)
The Brick House in the Woods is located approximately twenty minutes from the wonderful little city of Belfast where you’ll find many restaurants, a movie theater, and a beautiful oceanside trail, as well as several unique shops and art galleries. Halfway there, you’ll drive through Searsport, ” the antique capital of Maine”, where many interesting discoveries await. Travelling twenty minutes down Route 1 from Belfast will take you to Camden, a lively tourist destination, where restaurants and shops line Main Street, and the beauty of the harbor is a must-see. Our house is approximately 30 minutes from Bangor International Airport, and an hour from Bar Harbor, where you’ll find spectacular Acadia National Park. Prospect is nearby several state parks: Swan Lake State Park in Swanville, Fort Point State Park, Moose Point State Park, and Fort Knox State Park, where you can visit the fort and view the beautiful panorama from atop the Penobscot Narrows Observatory. Bucksport is just across the bridge. There's a wonderful river walk in town, as well as restaurants, an antique shop, bakery, and winery, grocery and movie theater. There’s plenty of woods to explore right outside the back door, but if you are looking for nearby hiking trails, there are some a short distance away. We look forward to your visit, and will do our best to make your stay at "The Brick House in the Woods" memorable!

We were in town for a family wedding and the place was lovely. It was clean and well equipped and had plenty of indoor space and outdoor space for the whole family. Overall, a very pleasant stay.
We stayed here for a quick weekend and wished it was longer! The house is large with enough space for the 9 of us to spread out and have enough room. The outdoor space is beautiful and well maintained.
This property is beautiful! Susan & Bayard made everything so easy with booking, check-in and check-out. We found everything we needed for a WONDERFUL STAY! Everything was so well stocked. If we would ever be "in the neighborhood" again, we would definitely want to stay at "the brick house in the woods". Thank you Susan & Bayard sincerely.

Very nice warm house in the woods, remote, great opportunity to bond with family and nature, and if you need to get away from the harshness of city/urban life. Responsive host. Made it as base to Bar Harbor and Acadia and nearby small towns. We all had a wonderful time. Internet a bit slow can improve maybe but i guess its normal for the area.
My team and I stayed here to be closer to French’s Point for a large wedding installation. We are florists and the house was perfect for giving us all a room of our own and the flowers a cool spot to wait. The owners were communicative and kind - greeting us with fresh eggs for the morning and a bottle of wine for when the work was done. Very easy to pop into Bucksport (House of pizza) and Searsport (Hey Sailor) to treat ourselves to some good dinners. We felt like we were in a private oasis and then we would suddenly pop out into some of maines great, uncrowded, hidden gems.
Spacious beautiful house in a quiet and peaceful setting. Ideal location to attractions we came to see. A wonderful welcome from our host who even provided fresh eggs and delicious coffee. Would definitely stay here again.
All in our party from 9 year old to 75 year old enjoyed the area. Lots to do. House was good base fir all activities.

Amazing stay
The house was really spacious and carried pretty much everything we could need. Sue and Bayard also left us some produce from their garden - really sweet touch that made us feel welcome
This is a great house for large groups. It was clean, smelled great, and was well stocked. It's a little far from other attractions but a great place to be tucked away with your group! We would definitely go back!
Very cozy home in the woods! Robust selection of kitchen items, games, books, and DVDs. We loved spending 6 days here in July with my sister and her family. We especially loved the fresh eggs waiting for us in the fridge! One note about being there in the summer- the sun rises very early, so bring a sleep mask if you’re sensitive to light in the mornings :)
Wonderful host. Communicated well in preparation for our stay. House was perfect , family especially enjoyed the sunroom and screened in room. House is very accessible to all the wonderful Maine coast attractions. We look forward to staying here again.
My family and I stayed here for 3 nights on a trip to Acadia. The location was nice, area was quiet and very calm. The property was also great, the only issue we had was some bugs that were around the house. The coffee provided was one of the best we've had! Susan was very kind and very helpful throughout the stay, I definitely recommend this place and would book again.
Our group of 10 very much enjoyed our stay. Lots of space to spread out to relax while we were at the house, which is on a beautiful property. The house was clean, well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. Thank you!
We cane in for dinner at Lost Kitchen. Sue was a most excellent host! The house was easy to find and lots of great common areas inside and out! Loved it.
We totally enjoyed our stay. My family was thrill with the choice I Plenty of room for everybody. Made the weekend very special for all of us. We would highly recommend The Brick House. Thank you so much.
We love this property, and our visits here may become an annual tradition. 11 of us stay to visit family in the area and the house setup works well for the adults and teens to each have their own space, or for all of us to get together. The hosts are very friendly and responsive- thank you!
We were at Sue’s house for a family vacation and had a great time. The house is perfectly located in a secluded area where all you can hear is the sound of birds. It was a perfect place to relax after a super active day at Acadia park and Bar Harbor. We were also so excited to have farm fresh eggs complements of Sue ( thank you!). All and all a great stay. Would highly recommend this place
