There is also a large dining room with seating for 6, a gourmet fully-equipped kitchen with island, a 3/4 Bath (shower) and a laundry closet with full-size washer and dryer.
On the second floor, there are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a queen bed and a twin. Both rooms have side tables, bureaus, table lamps and ceiling fans. There is also a full bath off the second floor hall with a deep soaking tub.
Off the kitchen is a deck with outdoor seating, a picnic table, gas grill and a small garden. The front yard is a sunny place to hang out on the Adirondack chairs.
The number of guests is limited to 4 plus up to 2 children (there is a pull-out bed in the Dining Room and a large couch in the Living Room). There are hardwood floors throughout.
There is free internet available and we are pet friendly. We charge $25 for each additional guest over 4 to cover linens and cleaning.

This is the quintessential Maine home and located in a perfect place in Rockland, ME for ease of experiencing the area. Just a couple of blocks away, one can find restaurants, museums, the shore, shopping and more. The neighborhood is quiet and conducive to good sleep. The home is beautifully clean and well stocked with amenities to accommodate a family for a week. It is decorated so charmingly and one feels they are truly living the essence of Maine. The owners answered all questions in a very timely manner. My family of three truly enjoyed the week we spent there.

Hi Joseph, thank you for taking the time to review Lamorna. We are so proud of and work hard for our 5 star reviews - We would love to understand more about your stay and why you didn’t agree with so many others and would appreciate more input if you would be willing to reach out to us directly. We didn’t hear from you during the entirety of your stay so assumed all was great. Either way, we’re glad you had a good stay and that you liked the convenient parking! Juli and Steven

Wicked Pissah!

We are 4 teacher friends from SC that like to explore. The house was roomy, clean, nicely appointed, walkable and on a safe and quiet street. Any question we could possibly have was in a binder inside. The house was cute and updated nicely. The large kitchen was nice. We never felt crowded at all. We enjoyed Franklin Street as a home base as we explored the Maine coastline!

First family trip to Maine

This was the first time our family visited Maine and we had a wonderful week! We loved the proximity to downtown and the little Sandy Beach.
