About this property

Quiet Water Views, Close To Town

This sweet and sunny cape overlooking Spinney Creek is the perfect spot to relax, yet it's just two miles from the Kittery outlets and gourmet restaurants. Enjoy coffee on the back deck, watch the birds, or bike into downtown Portsmouth.

This house has both style and comfort. Rich with gardens, bird songs, and the sounds of the close by Piscataqua River, this home is a relaxing delight. Take a short ride to explore downtown Kittery or Portsmouth, or go a bit further and enjoy the beaches.

This home fits two people quite comfortably. Owner lives on property above garage.

Great quiet location
Perfect for our stay near Portsmouth. Just over the bridge in a quiet neighborhood less than 10 minutes from downtown. Nice yard with a sitting area in back. Kitchen was well stocked. Bit of mold in the bathroom but not that bad that we wouldn't come back.

Perfect!
The cottage was an excellent place to stay! It felt like home and was central to four days of outings to various destinations in Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire! Our 12 year old puppy was even happy with the accomodations, which were as advertized! Thank you Alison for providing your cottage for rent for five days!

Perfect Home for an Extended Stay
We rented this place for 4 nights to visit our son at UNH. The location was perfect to get to Durham and also to grocery stores and other shopping venues. The house was super clean and the kitchen was stocked with the appropriate cookware to allow me to make home cooked meals. The owner was amazing and responsive and offered an extra special treat of Netflix and HuLu. I highly recommend this home!

Best Little Town in America
My stay at this property was heavenly. The Host, Alison, was fabulous in every respect. The home itself is extremely clean and quite comfortable. However, the best part of this property was the quiet and scenic environment. Spending my afternoons on the back deck on the beautifully manicured grounds were always the best part of my day. I highly recommend this property.

Lovely setting near s. Maine and Portsmouth, NH
Very comfortable, nicely furnished. Good suggestion from owner for things to do, places to eat including a lovely neighborhood walk along the Piscataqua River. Owner very helpful. A couple of minor things could be addressed: refrigerator light, circuit supporting both TV and A/C.

No title
This property has a number of pluses, and a few opportunities to improve. The place is as the pictures show. We rented for a month and knew the area very well going in. We enjoyed the neighborhood - easily accessible, very close to Portsmouth and restaurants, friendly neighbors. There is a pleasant walk along the river one block away. The property was very clean inside, bright and cheerful. Overall, it was well equipped although I did suggest better lighting when we left. We hit two weeks of rainy weather so were indoors more than we anticipated. We actually bought a reading lamp while there. Allison was great - immediately responsive when we had a question, and living next door was available for any hiccups, which we didn’t have. She wants you to enjoy your vacation. It was a great backyard for our cavalier and the back deck was very comfortable. Parking was right outside but a word of caution to those who don’t do steps. The key opportunity for this property is the furnishings. We couldn’t find a comfortable seat in the house. The furnishings are presentable yard sale finds but nothing is comfortable seating. The bed is fine, as is the dining table, but the sofa and chairs…..not so much. I was tempted to bring the outdoor furniture inside for seating.

great stay in maine
we had a wonderful time at this house. it was SO clean, seriously, the photos don't do it justice. it was probably the cleanest older home we've stayed in. (old as in character, we prefer staying in older homes whenever possible). we appreciated the owner being on the property, and communication was easy and she was always available. alison is a top rate host, was always helpful in a non-intrusive way. there is a great view across to the water, we could bird easily from the living room! there is AC in the living room (which we didn't use) and in the bedroom (which we did). the home was very comfortable, with a great kitchen and amazing fridge. there is a washer/dryer in the (SO CLEAN) basement to use as well, which was a big plus for us. it was an easy drive to anything we needed, and the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. we both worked parts of our stay and had absolutely no problems with the wifi at all. the breezeway entrance was great to stage outside-type stuff. there is a back deck that is covered and great to hang out on. we had a lot of rain when we were there, and while we didn't get to the beach much, it was nice to be in the house and be comforted by the sounds. we would book this place again if we decide to stay in maine, and highly recommend the rental.

Cozy stay
Alison’s place is close to everything in Maine and NH, easy access to the highway and route 1. The property is large and was easy to have the dog roam and sniff (leashed). The kitchen is equipped with all you need, and the linens are fresh and cozy. There is heat and AC, and with the windows open there is a great breeze. Alison is right next door and available if you need her - we did not because we had all we needed.

Lovely!
The house is even more lovely than the photos! The location is very convenient to Portsmouth, NH, Kittery, ME, and hiking and sight-seeing throughout the larger area (two examples: gorgeous meadows at Wagon Hill and amazing water views at Fort Foster)! As others have written the back deck is perfect for morning coffee! The sun porch / mud room is such a welcome amenity—especially when traveling with a dog! Alison was super responsive!

I loved Alison's property. It was very chic, comfortable, clean and located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Her backyard and back porch are amazing - she has taken great strides to make it a beautiful place to relax complete with nice landscaping and comfy patio furniture. She was communicative, helpful and warm. I would stay here again!

Super cute and clean
Allison’s place is really comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated! She is very considerate of her guests. The back deck was a really nice place to sit and the view of the creek is a special bonus. It is a short walk to the river and a very quick drive to Portsmouth. Great place for a couple looking for a place to relax and explore southern Maine.

I'm a Portsmouth, NH native but have lived in Maine for 25 years. When I'm not teaching preschool, I love to putter in the garden. I live on the property above the garage, and while I am friendly, I am happy to give guests privacy and space to enjoy the house, porch, and yard.
