Harraseeket Boathouse Cottages in Freeport

Located ON the harbor in South Freeport you’ll find the quintessential “Downeast” Maine experience usually found much further north and the most unique property on the coast of Maine!  Overlooking the picturesque Harraseeket River and Casco Bay, the Boathouse originally built in 1813, is the oldest documented structure in South Freeport.  Its colorful history includes use by “rum runners” during prohibition.  Lovingly rebuilt in 2005 as a unique luxury home with 2 guest cottages, today it features modern amenities including media room, wide screen flat panel TVs, wireless Internet and private dock.  The exposed beams and historic “ships knees” used in the original construction of the boathouse can still be seen, the hoists used to lift liquor from waiting boats are still in place, and the smuggler’s trap door in the floor has been replaced by a glass panel looking into the sea!  Harraseeket Boathouse & Cottages are now available as a luxury rental.
