About this property

Historic Munjoy Hill Retreat-Rooftop Water Views!

About this space
This stunning one-hundred-year-old home is a spacious retreat on Munjoy Hill, one of Portland's most desirable and walkable neighborhoods. Enjoy the sea breeze off Casco Bay and gorgeous views of the working waterfront from our two rooftop decks. Staying here you are just steps away from all you could want to do or dine on in our little city by the sea. Its luxurious interior and location make it a perfect getaway spot for couples or small groups of friends visiting Portland.
The space
- This apartment is on the second floor, up a flight of stairs, and once inside, spans two floors and a spiral staircase to the uppermost roof deck. It is required that guests be very comfortable with stairs in order to enjoy their stay! -

Enjoy ample living space indoors and out, including two very private bedrooms.
Each bedroom is on a separate floor and offers a comfortable bed, space to unpack, and blinds for lazy mornings. The upstairs master bedroom has a skylight for stargazing on clear nights.
Enjoy a nice long soak in the clawfoot tub!
Air conditioning throughout the house allows you to stay comfortable even on the hottest of summer days.

**Out of respect for our tenants & neighbors, no parties are allowed at the house.
We welcome groups of up to 4 . Additional overnight guests must be approved in advance.
Guest access
During your stay, you will have the full apartment to yourself including 2 rooftop decks!
Other things to note:
-There is a sofa in the TV room that folds out into a twin bed.
- We also have a rollaway single bed available with a memory foam mattress.

-For your little one, we have a Pack n Play as well as a highchair available. I'm happy to set them up for you. Just let me know in advance.

- Please note, if you are traveling with small children, there are two flights of stairs leading to the second and third floors, as well as a spiral staircase leading to the rooftop deck.

Early Fall extended weekend.
My wife and another couple made the trip to enjoy the weather and the city. This house was incredible. It's absolutely massive. So much space in the living room and sun room. Rooftop has incredible views that are essentially 360°. It is located on the top of Munjoy Hill and next to so many great spots, so it's very easily walkable. The coffee shops and bars nearby are absolutely incredible and you can pick a new place everyday for weeks if you wanted. The neighborhood is quiet but tons of young folks walking dogs, so quite local. The house is 100% what you would want to stay in for a historic part of town. The light fixtures, bathtub, sofas, they all match the aesthetic of the home so beautifully. If you're in Portland and want a comfortable place to enjoy coffee on the rooftop and watch the sunset with a legendary Portland beer this is the place to be. And the host was incredible! Do yourself a favor and stay here

Stylish apartment
Do yourself a favor and book this apartment. Comfortable and stylish. Spotlessly clean. Plenty of space for our family of 4. The sun room was so dreamy and the roof top deck was delightful. Must be able to climb steep stairs though!

Visit Portland
Stayed a couple nights to check out the Portland area while traveling through. Stay had plenty of room. And was nice to see plenty of coffee available with the k cup machine which we didn’t bring with so that was nice to have first morning. Only thing a minus was parking. All street side and never did park on street by door. But quiet enough to have room and time to load and unload while coming and going.

Great location
Great house in a great location! We were a 5 minute drive from all the great restaurants and shopping that anyone can handle. If the weather is warmer, ideal for biking to and from Old Port. Just make sure you pace yourself for the trip back up Munjoy Hill!! The house was older but loved the character. Any calories you consume eating out will be burned off with the two sets of stairs the house contains! Keep that in mind if you have kids or dont like stairs! Ample room for lounging and quiet time. The host, Jennifer, was polite and responsive to all of our questions and needs ( tripped a breaker on a Sunday morning and she stopped by and took care of it within the hour) all in all, great launching point for exploring Portland and all it has to offer.

Highly recommend!
Great place to stay, very clean and comfortable, definitely more spacious than I could tell from photos - the sunroom and rooftop are especially lovely in good weather. Easy parking. Really good location next to a few great neighborhood spots, close to Washington Ave and not far from old port/downtown area. Highly recommend!

Beautiful apartment
Such a charming and well appointed apartment. Plenty of space to enjoy and spread out. We visited in January so we could not make use of the two outdoor spaces. The views from both were amazing! Great location in a cute neighborhood and a quick drive to the Old Port. Jennifer is a responsive and helpful host. We would love to return!

We loved our stay!
What a truly gorgeous, spacious, charming, thoughtful home away from home. We made tremendous use of the fully stocked kitchen and perfect little screening room. Jennifer was notably warm, responsive, and accommodating. We loved how we didn’t need a car—everything was walkable and perfect. Thank you for the loveliest getaway!

Lovely place!
This place is incredible. It is very spacious, the decor is beautiful, the house is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Comfortable beds. tall ceilings, and beautiful artwork. It feels like a very high end rental but also very comfortable at the same time. The two outdoor areas are wonderful to drink a cup of coffee or a glass of wine with views of Casco Bay. Quiet area of town and walkable to everything in the East End, and Old Port. Jennifer was a great host. We loved our stay and will hopefully be back!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Boudreault

Host profile image
I've moved home after living on the West Coast for 12 years. Currently residing on the beautiful East End, it is such a pleasure to have discovered that over the last decade or so this neighborhood has grown into a wonderfully diverse, safe and welcoming community. Plus, I love being able to walk to brunch and to the market! I desperately missed those outings, living in the car-centered culture of Los Angeles. It's been a wonderful experience meeting and hosting people from all over the world who are visiting Portland!
