Property Description
This contemporary two story addition floats like a tree house among apple trees. All the amenities of a hotel, but the feeling of your own home, surrounded by art from the 19th to 21st centuries (we are collectors and artists ourselves), on two acres with perennial gardens filled with foxglove, delphinium, sunflowers, dahlias, tulips and more overlooking a wetland: private entrance and parking, deck, grill, huge hot tub (shared) with expansive backyard and woods, Streaming TV, 500 Mbps Mesh Wifi, access to a canoe and kayak, efficiency kitchen, and all the quiet you can imagine. My husband and I occupy the main house to which this addition is attached, but the split level space is completely your own and not shared. Come enjoy the Foodie haven of Portland, Maine and the quiet elegance of rural living. Come to write your next novel or just get away. We are a 5 minute drive to downtown Portland and all the local beaches; as well as numerous woods walks and beach walks walking distance from our home. Bring your bike and paddle board, or borrow our canoe and kayak. Book your dinner reservations in Portland, and your sleeping accommodations in the Artist's Tree House. Please note the kitchen is an efficiency kitchen. We have an induction hot plate, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven and outdoor grill, but the kitchen is small. No dishwasher. No clothes washer or dryer. For wonderful, more extensive meals we suggest these great local restaurants: Leeward, Central Provisions, Twelve, Isa, Street and Co, Terlingua, Bao Bao, Davids 388, Fore Street, Regards, Bar Futo, Eventide Oysters, Izakaya Minato, Duckfat and Miyake--to name a few!About pets:Pets allowed: dogs (limit 1 total).About checkOut:Check out before 10:30 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.Only other sleeping options are on the sofa.About customRules:We have 3 friendly dogs that roam the yard at times.

Absolutely wonderful stay and so glad we found this gem. Close to all the best beaches but still easy to get to Portland for the great food scene. The hosts were helpful and accommodating - we had lost luggage delivered and they made sure we got a it. The space was clean, very livable and beautifully designed. We’ll definitely be back when we visit the area.

Family Vacation! We had a wonderful stay with Brian and Jocelyn. The tree house was cozy and clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable, restful stay. We were in Cape for a noisy family reunion so it was nice to come back to the quiet tree house with the breeze blowing through the bedroom windows.Brian was extremely responsive and friendly. We would definitely stay again.

A beautiful week The property is beautiful and the hosts are kind and welcoming, ensured privacy, were responsive to needs. It was summertime and particialty hot for the area a few days and they gave us advice on keeping it comfortable but it did hit 80 degrees in the living area, while the AC kept the bedroom cool. There are bugs, it cant be helped so if you cant handle ants and spiders think twice. There was soap scum in the bathroom but otherwise it felt very clean. Location 5 minutes away from fort williams park and the beach and 15 away from portland was ideal. Country setting with everything close by. Would stay again. Caution, the geese will try and nibble your toes.

Lovely artist’s loft in the treetops We loved our stay with Brian and Jocelyn! The apartment was cozy, clean, and well provisioned. Brian was an excellent host and super responsive, even going the extra mile to make sure our ice pack was frozen for our long drive home. The hot tub was lovely and clean. Easy access to Old Port Portland via bike or car. Quiet neighborhood. It was lovely to watch the fireflies in the garden at night and enjoy the beautiful flowers during the day. Please note that there is no freezer and no AC in the main area but the windows and fans and the AC unit in the bedroom are sufficient. Highly recommended!

Naturalist’s Gem This was our 2nd stay and as before the property didn’t disappoint. We enjoy the location near family in South Portland, but it provides a comfortable and scenic rest away from activities. We always enjoy walking at Two Lights, Fort Williams and Higgins Beach just short drives from this location. We had memorable dining experiences at Scales and Luke Lobster at nearby Portland. Enjoying our morning coffee on site among the scenic gardens, birdsong and wildlife is a treasure. The hosts are supportive and helpful though never intrusive. We look forward to a future return.

Beautiful Treehouse! This property is so beautiful!! Great location to explore tons of places. Picturesque and peaceful is an understatement! The bedroom is like being in the clouds surrounded by an Apple tree and a beautiful backyard! Wall to wall windows allow you to view the night sky and the moon! The dogs and the geese are also a plus with their adorable greetings! Brian was a great host! Thank you for everything! Rob & Jill
