Squeaky clean, cozy, convenient to beaches & sights! Private entrance to 1-room studio with newly-renovated bath, 10 minutes to downtown Portland. Recognized by AirBnb as the "Most Hospitable" AirBnB in Maine in 2021! https://news.airbnb.com/the-most-hospitable-hosts-in-every-us-state/

The space
Private entrance to a squeaky clean, cozy room with a comfy Queen bed and its own en suite freshly renovated bathroom. Pergola outside your door where you can enjoy morning coffee in the garden. No kitchen (or microwave), but we provide mugs, utensils, electric kettle and a mini-fridge for your convenience. This is your own space, attached to but separate from the main house.

Guest access
One Parking Spot available. From your parking spot, take the winding path through the garden to the pergola and directly across is a white door. You’ll see a Welcome sign above it:) This is your private entrance.

Other things to note
We welcome all, but unfortunately cannot accommodate dogs of any size or any other pets. Please NO smoking or vaping anywhere on the property, but particularly inside the cottage. There are no exceptions to these rules, sorry. Check-in is between 3:00pm-8:00pm. We strongly discourage and cannot accommodate late arrivals so please plan your arrival accordingly. Thanks!

Neighborhood highlights

The Willard Beach neighborhood is on a peninsula convenient to Portland, yet has its own mellow, outdoorsy vibe. There are plenty of dining options nearby and loads more just 10 minutes away in Portland. Cyclists, walkers and runners will love the proximity of an extensive Greenbelt path, and Willard Beach is just steps away. More beaches, historic sights and shopping are all within minutes by bike or car.

My partner Kate and I are filmmakers, entrepreneurs and vegans. We have lived in Maine for over 30 years and feel lucky to be able to work (mostly) at home and enjoy our beautiful garden. Whether we're porch sitting, gardening or walking in the neighborhood, we love the mellow vibe of Willard Beach. If you're seeking an easygoing, cozy R&R for your Maine vacation, we'd love to host you. Welcoming LGBT and diverse folks of all stripes!
