Now, on to our story....
After the 8 children were raised, we transformed half of the second floor of our home into this 2-bedroom apartment. Besides the apartment space, all guests have full access to our downstairs living space, where there is a comfortable and quiet library for reading and our family living room for relaxing and/or watching movies. Guests may even use our family kitchen as long as you leave it clean with the dishes washed. We love to interact with and get to know our guests and so we open up the main living spaces of our entire home for use. Of course, if you prefer complete privacy within the apartment, we will respect your wish for whatever degree of privacy you may desire.

Once you arrive, you will find a key for the apartment in the lock box. During your stay, you may enter through the main house or the private entrance at the back of the house which leads directly into the apartment. There is a door between the apartment and the main house that can be locked.

Apartment features a full, spacious eat-in kitchen and partitioned bathroom with shower and tub (see photos). There is a private deck off the kitchen which is perfect for relaxing outside. The deck overlooks our 20-acre field, where you might see moose, deer, bears, or other wildlife. You will enjoy beautiful Aroostook County sunsets, a great view of the stars and Milky Way, and possibly even see the northern lights.

Overall, the space can accommodate up to 5 people in 3 beds in 2 bedrooms, plus a crib can be made available and placed in the master bedroom for a small child. The master bedroom contains one full-sized bed, and the second bedroom contains one twin-sized bed and a full-sized pull-out sofa bed.

For long-term guests, we can rearrange, add, or take away furniture to accommodate our guests' needs. For example, the second bedroom could easily become a designated living room by moving out the twin bed and moving in a chair or two and a coffee table. This would just need to be communicated to us.

For larger groups, additional rooms are available to rent in the main house. Room #3 is on the second floor and has a full-sized bed and ample floor space for a cot, air mattress or sleeping bag. Rooms #1 and #2 are on the first floor. Room #1 has two twin-sized beds and Room #2 has a queen-sized bed. And if that isn't enough, we have a full-sized pull-out sofa bed in the library/music room on the first floor. Contact us for a quote for your larger group (Note: prices here will include use of the apartment only, except as noted below).

Laundry machines are available at no extra charge on the first floor in the main house. You may also borrow reading material from the library or our downstairs living room, as long as it is returned at the end of your stay.

We have free Wi-Fi, a TV with Chromecast (but no cable or satellite).

Please contact us if you have questions.

We're looking forward to having you enjoy your stay at our quiet country home!

Amazing place to stay
We visited New Sweden to attend the Midsummer celebration, and found this apartment. The location was perfect for us, with easy access to all places on the area. The apartment had everything we needed and was clean and ready when we arrived. James greeted us and brought a flyer with the weekend program James and Ellen were wonderful, kind , and accommodating hosts! We would absolutely recommend this apartment (just know that it is on the second floor).

Little Piece of Paradise
James & Ellen are great hosts! They are very nice people who truly do allow you to come into their personal home (downstairs) and join in conversations, use laundry, sit in the library, etc. They are warm and welcoming and can offer insights about the area (which I need). The property is out in the country, remote and away from town - but only 20 minutes out. The apartment is clean and spacious, the bed is very comfortable, and a full eat-in kitchen saves on food costs. If you need internet - it's quite good and you can stream movies/tv shows without issues. I am so glad I found this and would highly recommend it for anyone needing a place to stay in the area.

Our stay in New Sweden, Maine
The apartment was better than we expected. Extremely clean, and we'll stocked with everything we needed. We felt comfortable and "at home" from the beginning. We did not go into the main house or meet the owners because of Covid fears (we've been traveling and don't want to endanger anyone). The area was beautiful, but if you want tourist type entertainment, it's not for you. Drawbacks were that we're in our 70s and my husband has a heart condition and I hurt my knee just before we left. But we were well informed, and we're glad we went after seeing the gorgeous view. The bed was a full size, so I slept in the twin bed in the other room. I would definitely go there again!
