Cottage in Pownal

Upscale Timber-Frame Cottage, Shop/Dine/Hike/Bike

Relax and unwind at this cozy post-and-beam cottage in a woodsy setting. Complete with all the modern amenities you will feel at home after exploring all that Maine has to offer. At day’s end ascend to the loft bedroom for a great night's sleep. Please note the current Maine travel restrictions: https://www.maine.gov/covid19 This custom post and beam cottage is brand new. Designed by John Libby, one of the most respected timber frame builders in New England, (www.housesandbarns.com) this space was thoughtfully designed and meticulously built specifically for your enjoyment. This cottage resides on the owner’s property, but is sited on its own two acres nestled among a beautiful stretch of Maine hardwood forest. Accessible via its own private driveway and surrounded by acres of pristine forest, it is the perfect place to relax among nature. No matter the season the exposed weathered Douglas Fir beams of the building will both welcome you and wrap you in a feeling of comfort and contentment. This complete home has all of the amenities. The kitchen includes natural unpolished granite countertops and brand new appliances including a stainless steel gas oven/range, dishwasher and refrigerator. The whitewashed walls of the hallway and bathroom provide a more modern feel, while showcasing all the wonderful knots of the Maine white pine from which it was milled. An easy-to-access, low/no step corner shower complete with floor to ceiling tile and an oversized vanity make time in the bathroom a pleasure. The open concept makes for a natural flow through the space and the sitting area comes complete with a queen sofa bed, TV and a gas fired wood-stove. The vaulted ceilings rise 22’ above the floor providing a spacious and beautiful feel. Radiant heat in the finished concrete floors make the space cozy and keep your feet warm. Oversized and lit stairs lead to the loft where you’ll find a king sized bed providing the opportunity for a great night’s sleep. Large windows make you feel as though your sleeping in the tree tops…come Fall this Oak and Maple forest comes alive with color. A ceiling fan keeps you cool, in the Summer and moves the heat around come Winter. Enjoy the beautiful outdoors on either the front or back deck, or from your own personal fire pit complete with granite bench. Don’t forget the s’mores! Guests have access to the post and beam cottage as well as the immediate surrounding area. We ask that the property boundaries are respected and that the guests do not go past the rock wall or onto the main house property or neighboring properties/horse farm. The post and beam cottage is on the same property as our primary residence but has it’s own driveway and is situated in a private clearing surrounded by beautiful forest. We will usually be available to welcome you personally and are happy to meet new people and make new friends but we also respect our guests privacy as we expect the same in return. Thank you! This post and beam cottage is in the small town of Pownal, 20 minutes from the wonderful restaurants, sights, and sounds of Portland. It's a 10-minute drive to Freeport and the L.L.Bean flagship store. Bradbury Mountain State Park is two miles away.

Modern East End studio, perfect Portland home base

KatieRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The apartment was perfectly clean and the location was great for walking into town. Nothing fancy, but the apartment has everything you need (including cozy towels) and a well-equipped kitchen. We would definitely stay here again. I noticed some reviews mentioned a musty smell and got a little nervous as I'm very sensitive, can confirm that on a rainy weekend in May this was absolutely not an issue. Thanks Ian!

Great private area apartment At a great price

ConorRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Great value. The space was larger than expected (and the ceilings are tall enough- I’m 6’6” and, aside from the doorways, my head cleared with 6” to spare.) Comfortable bed. The location is especially convenient if you’re leaving/arriving on Amtrak, and there’s a bus stop right across the street that gets you to downtown in 10-15 minutes. All in all, it was a great place to explore Portland from without breaking the bank.

Spacious light filled retreat in the Arts District

LindseyRating, 5 stars8 months ago

A wonderful stay in the apartment at Andrea’s home! The description matched the apartment, it was clean, organized and larger than I expected. The location was fantastic and we were able to walk down to the Old Port to have some delicious food and a great time. We really appreciated the recommendations for restaurants provided in the book, we were NOT let down. Andrea was very accommodating and let us know we were the last guests of the season so were able to check out later and leave our car in the designated spot. The weekend for my wife’s birthday was truly special and we can’t wait to come back!

Airy Room in Antique Victorian - SOPO

HenriqueRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

I thought it was great! It was exactly what the pictures and descriptions said it would be. The only thing I would watch out for is if you get the AIRY room it does face the street so you can hear cars passing by. I didn’t wake up at night because of it but I’m also not a light sleeper so it might be different for you. But like I said. This was probably the most accurate depiction of any place I’ve ever stayed at. So if it looks good to you on the app it’ll look good to you in person.
