You will be staying in my family's home (you will have the entire property to yourself)– you should find space in the top drawers and some hangers in the closet. Please respect our space and belongings.
The home is 7 minutes from downtown (the Old Port). Whole Foods is also just a short drive away--as are Trader Joe's and other local supermarkets. And, of course, Portland has world-class restaurants.
I'm happy to provide advice to guests. As a native of the area, I can help recommend local restaurants, bars, nature, beaches, parks, music venues, breweries, etc., around Portland (and can also provide insights for other points of interest in Maine.)
No smoking is allowed in the home. There is a $100 pet fee if you bring your pet during your stay in our house. City of Portland license # STHR-006856-2025
