Great family trip!

We had an awesome family weekend staying here! We had 8 adults and 3 kids stay. House is set up like a multi family home with a 2 bed/1 bath apartment upstairs away from the main central space downstairs (with small kitchen and a living room with TV included in apartment). We spent most of our time on the main level which has the open living room/ dining room / side room area with the trundle bed. There is a large bedroom on this floor as well and the trundle room has doors to close it off as a room. The basement had 2 more bedrooms and another bathroom downstairs which was perfect for our 2 kids to sleep down here and not hear anything. The main floor living area does not have a TV. It’s an older house so not a ton of outlets which is random to write but an extension cord would have been helpful. The hot tub was awesome! There were a bunch of robes and slip on sandals and towels for hot tub. location was 5 minute drive from downtown, The house is on a main road, but the water views from both sides were really pretty, We went sledding at payson park which was very fun and just a few minute drive away. Recommend a tube sled and goggles for that hill. :) definitely recommend staying here! :)

Great house for a girl's weekend!

This was a great house for our annual girl's weekend. The three floors gave us room to spread out and also large and comfy spaces to come together as a group of 10. Kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to make meals and clean up easily. Bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely appointed and clean. Hot tub was a nice extra. House is on a main street but noise was minimal and nice views of the water on both sides of the house. We used uber to get back and forth to Portland and that worked well. We loved Portland, had a lot to offer for shopping, holiday events, and great food! Host was easy and helpful and great communication all along the way.

Great proximity to Portland

The location was great for easy access to Portland without being in the bustle of the city. Home was close to a busy road (Alexa’s music was a nice choice to drown out the road noise). Hot tub was wonderful, but not very accessible from main part of house and although it was fenced for privacy, the neighbor’s property looked right into it. Nice hiking trails nearby. Our favorite feature was the beautiful fireplace which we used every night when gathering to play games as a family. Homeowner was helpful and responsive to questions.

The Perfect Spot

Or big family of 9 including 2 toddlers loved this beautiful home. The separated living spaces made it easy to gather even when the babies were sleeping without disturbing them. Meghan was so thoughtful and quick to communicate when I had concerns about Hurricane Lee. They even gathered up flashlights and put them all in a basket on the kitchen table so we’d have them handy if the power went out! Thanks for a great stay!

Marvelous Maine!

This lovely old Maine home, with its modern updates, was very much as our family of 12 pictured. The bedrooms were large and the house was well supplied. Our four granddaughters (ages 2 through 11) referred to it as “The Mansion” and were so excited to have private areas to talk and play. Everyone loved being able to watch sailboats and wildlife out our front windows and it was a great area to get in a morning walk. Even though we were on the go, visiting as much of the area as we could each day, we loved relaxing in the hot tub/ patio area in the evenings. The location was another huge asset. Proximity to the interstate, grocery stores, coffee shops, and all of the downtown port areas was perfect! (The airport was 11 minutes away.) We highly recommend Portland and this beautiful home. These Cornhuskers hope to return some day!
