The Maine Frame: Cozy Firepit Retreat Just 7 Minutes to L.L. Bean

Welcome to The Maine Frame! Perfect for small families or couples, our signature A-Frame cabin features a firepit, soaring ceilings, huge windows, stylish interiors, and all the comforts of home.

7 minute drive to LL Bean

A guest favorite with consistent five-star reviews and top-tier rankings on other platforms—we’re excited to now welcome VRBO travelers too!

THE SPACE:

Framed by nature. Designed for the way life should be. This cozy 1,100 square foot space was completed in the summer of 2024 and comfortably accommodates up to four guests in two bedrooms (a cozy Queen bedroom downstairs with a tv and a spacious King bedroom in the loft) plus one shared bathroom. To reach the loft, you’ll need to climb a narrow spiral metal staircase. This room boasts the best lighting and is one of my favorite spots to relax.

Please note that due to the open floor plan, the upstairs loft is not separated from the downstairs space.

The bathroom is located downstairs and features a river rock tiled shower floor with a built in bench seat.

During your stay, you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of our modern gas-burning fireplace. To control the fireplace, simply set the timer on the wall, which limits the run time to 60 minutes per full turn. As a friendly reminder, please never leave the fireplace unattended while you’re away from the property.

To enhance your stay, we recommend reading our welcome book. It’s filled with recommendations for local activities, dining spots, and detailed information about the property. Brochures are also available on the counter for additional “to-do” suggestions in the area.

The Maine Frame is conveniently located within easy reach of several attractions:

7-minute drive to Freeport
13-minute drive to Brunswick
25-minute drive to Portland

•The L.L. Bean flagship store is currently undergoing a transformative $50 million renovation. Dubbed the "Freeport Experience", the remodel is aimed to create a more immersive shopping environment for Freeport visitors. While scheduled for completion fall of 2026, L.L. Bean is OPEN. A notable addition is "Camp L.L. Bean", a 28,000 sqft climate controlled tent serving as a temporary retail space for all apparel and outerwear. The Home Store, Hunting & Fishing, Bike, Boat & Ski stores remain open and fully operational during renovations.

ADDITIONAL RULES:

For the courtesy of our Freeport neighbors, please turn off exterior soffit lights before bed.

Trash is collected every Wednesday through a private company. Guests will have no contact with the collection team but must allow them on the property. The trash team will walk to the right side of the house and collect trash from the large gray bin. During the winter season the bin will be placed at the front of the Maine Frame.

Power outages and internet outages can occur in Maine specifically during late fall, throughout winter and early spring due to variable weather. If an outage occurs during your stay, your hosts will be in immediate contact and will provide any updates from our local power and internet company. Refunds can be requested per day in the event power does not return by 5pm.

Please maintain this place as if it were your own house. Before departing, we kindly ask that all used sheets and quilts are stripped from the bed, used towels are collected and please start a load of laundry if you have time.
