Stay in Portland

We really loved the property, location and amenities. One small (and pretty insignificant) item; maybe invest in some nice and more hangars. Small issue and not enough to affect our total recommendation of this beautiful place…

Five stars all the way!

Exactly what we needed and were hoping for! A beautiful, well-appointed, clean place right next to the woods, but lots of screens so there was no problem with bugs. This was also our first time at a place that was an addition to a larger house, but the whole time it was if we were there alone, and there was zero traffic noise or other disturbances even though we were so close to all the good stuff downtown. And on the deck, it really felt as if we had a whole forest to ourselves. To top it off, the owners were extremely responsive to our requests. The best of all worlds!

Really cute newly remodeled place. Owners were really helpful. The location is in a quiet and nice neighborhood just a short drive to downtown Portland. The kitchen was well appointed and the bed was really comfortable. Can't say enough about this rental. A+

They don’t make them like this anymore

Great property! Tucked away at the end of a dead end road. Adjacent to walking trails and less than a mile to the back cove. The space was very well maintained and either new or recently renovated. You don’t see spaces this nice for short term rentals very often. Beautiful kitchen and great outdoor space. Stay here!

Our host had thought of everything.. AND MORE!

We have stayed at many, many VRBO accommodations over the years. This one was absolutely beautiful, perfectly equipped...There was not a flaw to be found. More importantly, Liz had anticipated every need...and then some. Lots of electric outlets to use to recharge our many devices, tea and coffee, even bug-spray, bandages, antiseptic cream. We didn't have to go out and buy extra paper goods, like toilet paper or paper towels. The lighting was terrific. (We don't like VRBO's that have poor living room lighting. We like to read at night, not just watch television.) There was a lovely deck with comfortable couches chairs, and table. There was even a fold-out table that could open up for a dinner crowd! When we needed assistance, she was always there with a quick response, or a visit. We hope to return to Portland next year and would love to stay there again! Brava to Liz!

Private immaculate paradise!!!

We elderly grandparents and our eight-year old grandson found this accommodation to be perfect for our needs. The owner has thought about everything in her beautiful apartment/cottage. We give this gem our highest rating. Quality!!! We have very high standards and were thrilled to be so comfortable.

Great little apartment!

This listing was fantastic for a quick trip to Portland! It was clean, well-decorated, and the property was beautiful. Quick 10 minute drive to downtown Portland with several other restaurants/things to do in Back Cove available as well.

Lovely home

Great spot, just a short drive into Portland. There's a good kitchen for making a meal or two at home. We ate out on the back porch for one dinner, which was beautiful. I especially enjoyed running on the trails behind the house. Hosts were responsive and friendly. The space was maybe a little tight for three adults (two in bed, one on pull-out couch), but it was definitely worth it to stay close to Portland on a holiday weekend. Would stay there again!

Serene Weekend Getaway

My partner and I had a wonderful long weekend here. Liz was so attentive and courteous at all times. Check-in was a breeze and the property was extremely clean. The location could not be beat - the properly is quiet and faces a lovely trail through the woods. Best of all, we were a very short drive from everything we wanted to do in Portland. I could not recommend it enough!

Perfect location for Portland vacation!

Liz was a wonderful host and communicator. Located in a quiet, safe neighborhood, less than 10 mins from downtown Portland and 20 mins from Freeport, this private suite (1 bed, 1 bath, updated kitchen, living room, deck w/ grill, private parking area) was perfect for our 4 night stay. Super clean, same as shown in pictures. Right near a park and Back Cove, morning walks by the water are a must. If you’re into breweries, you’ve hit the jackpot.. No more than a 10-15 min drive to all of them! All in all, we will definitely back, honestly couldn’t think of a better location and VRBO.
