About this property

Rustic Charm close to Portland

My place is a quiet cabin in the woods hidden away just outside of the biggest city in Maine. Peaceful and private. My home is a country getaway with unique charm and has a feeling like no other. Close to downtown Portland, the Portland Jet Port, Freeport, beautiful Maine beaches, apple orchards, a Gorgeous wedding venue a mile away called Caswell Farm and close to trails for hiking or biking, my home has many options nearby. It s the perfect family vacation destination or business trip location. Wedding? It's a great spot for a family of 6 to stay and the rental is the entire home and property. Looking for a romantic get away weekend? Look no further! Great spot for a honeymoon or anniversary celebration.

My place is set back off the road a bit. It has a good size front yard and a large back yard with ample areas for kids to run around, as well as a firepit. The perennial and annual gardens are kept natural and organic and we love our greenhouse which is also used for wood storage in the winter.
There is a yurt on the property that is rented out as well. It is a separate listing so if you’re into glamping, this is the spot! It could also be an add on to the house if you have a big group. The driveway will be the only shared area so we ask guests to please respect each groups privacy.
Upon entering from the deck, you will find yourself in the hallway of hooks. The laundry room and the downstairs full bathroom are off the hook hallway. The bathroom has a clawfoot bathtub and other unique fixtures. The kitchen is next and its fully stocked with whatever you may need to cook at home. We provide coffee and tea while pantry items, condiments, herbs and spices are readily available.
The next stop is the open concept dining room and living room. The dining room table can seat 3 and a highchair and the bar at the end of the kitchen can seat 4. The living room has a wrap around couch and a large screen tv. YouTube TV is provided. Firestick is used for streaming all your favorite apps. The woodstove is located here as well and the coziness is undeniable.
Next, there are two doors heading into the downstairs bedroom which has a queen size bed and a super awesome heated mattress pad for those cold winter nights.
Next head up the stairs and enter the master bedroom which has the king size bed as well as the full size bed. High ceilings and a very unique shower are present here and are calling for a visit. The shower has a steam feature which is great for relaxation. There is a smaller tv with a dvd player and plenty of movies to choose from Also a chromecast player to stream with your apps.
My place is a very unique and magical space and I'm happy to help guests at anytime for any reason and to share this home that I am very proud of. Thanks for considering my place and feel free to ask any questions.
FYI I do have two security cameras located outside. One is on the front porch and the other is located on the side of the house pointed towards the driveway.
Lastly, please kindly book for the correct amount of people in your group as I do not allow parties or unauthorized guests.

Well located and comfortable

The house was beautiful and located close by both Portland and Freeport. Had a mix-up on checking in since I expected the owner, not Vrbo, to communicate house entry instructions. Overall liked the house very well but with a bigger group than our three it would have been somewhat short of the privacy required.

Disc golf trip

The house is located in a quaint, quiet setting which was ideal for our trip centered around the areas great disc golf scene. A truly unique property, the house has more than what we needed for amenities and the unique decor gave a calm and homely ambiance. If you're looking for a unique and comfortable stay north of Portland Amy's place is highly recommended!

The entire property was interesting, unique, and obviously a labor of love for the person or persons who built it. Comfortable and unimposing setting sets everyone at ease from the initial door opening to the final closing of the door and end of vacation. Certainly one of the more interesting, comfortable and casual vacation spots that we have had the pleasure to enjoy. Many thanks to the property owner who was readily available for any information, questions or concerns. Magnifico!

Loved this place!

This is a cabin in the woods with civilization nearby. We spent four days and nights at the cabin, and I loved it. The furniture was comfortable for relaxing, and the kitchen was awesome. While my friend used the bedroom downstairs, I had the loft bedroom and bath to myself. The steam shower was an unexpected pleasure. The “throne” toilet took some getting used to, but it wasn’t a problem. The small towns nearby offered gas, groceries, restaurants, and beautiful trees. Portland was a short drive away. I will definitely stay here again if I am in the area.

We loved it

This is a great cabin with a great host. The cabin has everything you'll need and then some. It was very clean, very cozy, and very quiet. It's also close enough to Portland to be convenient but still far enough away to be in the woods a bit. Wish we could have stayed a few more days!

A wonderful, whimsicle cottage with all the amenities. Creative decorating, comfortable beds and complete kitchen set up making it a joy to cook even! This was a great place to come back to to relax while putting the final touches on a family wedding event nearby in Gray, Maine. Amy was easy to contact and very responsive.

Unique and Cozy

The owner; Amy, answered all questions promptly within the hour or sooner. Amy was even very flexible when we requested to add an additional person last minute. The home itself was fully equipped with everything you could need, even the kitchen, and is utterly unique! You have to see it to believe it! The king size bed was super comfy. We even enjoyed a bon fire the first night Thank you Amy, we hope to be back next year too!

Great cabin in the woods

We loved Amy’s cabin! It was fun exploring all of the special touches. We’d definitely stay here again if in the Portland area. It was close enough to everything but also far enough away for some quiet! Everything you could need was available and Amy was quick to respond to a couple of our questions. Highly recommend!

An Absolute Fairytale

Amy's place was enchanting. Everything you needed was provided and her communication was stellar. The place was a lot larger than I expected and I wish I spent more time in it. The steamed shower was beyond my expectations and the bed was so firm and comfortable my and I had zero back pain! I would love, love, LOVE to return and bring more people to experience the magic of Amy's home. This was a perfect surprise for my husband's birthday and The place was 20mins from most of our destination. Thank you Amy for unforgettable experience!

Why they chose this property

I grew up in the area and drove past this property daily. It is magical and I'm glad I was able to purchase it. The pictures don't really do it justice. Check it out, you'll see what I mean.

What makes this property unique

It is a non traditional post and beam with all wood interior minus some floors that are tile and cork. A very natural and soothing setting.
