This place was perfect for a couple. Really nice and quiet 1 bedroom apartment with all the amenities of home-away-from-home. We loved Freeport and it was very centrally located for all our Maine activities like visiting family in both Bangor and Camden, as well as day-tripping to Portland and points south. Downtown Freeport was an easy walk as well. Loved it and would come again.

What a Great Find!

The Nest was everything we needed and more! It was cozy and in a quiet location. My family and I felt right at home. We were able to shop and eat at all our favorite places in Freeport. Everything was so close and within a 5-10 minute walk. We also loved the fact that Portland was only 15 minutes away. Erica and her husband were great hosts and checked in on us several times to make sure we were settled and enjoying our stay. We will definitely be booking The Next again when we plan a trip to Maine!

As was last year perfect spot to visit Freeport. Walk to Downtown and avoid the traffic. My honey biked in a sponsored event and visited his beloved LL Bean. I antiqued and thrifted. Dinner at the Dolphin Marina and Tuscan Grill. Accommodations were great. I am sure we will b back.

Beautiful Little Apartment with Coastal Maine Flare

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at The Nest! The apartment was very clean, was stocked with everything we needed, and was conveniently located in walking distance to LL Bean and Freeport shopping. Apartment was very quiet and cozy in a coastal Maine style just like the listing said. 10/10. We live pretty far away, but would love to come back and stay here again!

Really great place in Freeport

We had a wonderful two nights at The Nest. It is a perfect size and in the perfect location for walking to everything in Freeport. It is tucked away on a quiet side street with plenty of parking. Easy check-in and most importantly, the place is super clean, comfortable, and really well appointed. Erica and Doug have done a fantastic job of creating a beautiful space for visitors and were super responsive to our questions. We had a nice conversation with Doug on our way out. Really nice guy! We would definitely return and probably wouldn't bother looking for any other place because this was so perfect.

A little gem...

Our family stayed at The Nest for 2 nights. It was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. We had plenty of towels, sheets and blankets. The kitchen had everything we needed for some simple cooking. Erica responded nearly immediately to any questions we had and the check out procedures were minimal and easy. A great location that is walkable to the entire downtown area. Thank you for a great stay!

It was a very nice place to stay. We stayed 3 nights… had only booked for 2 nights but a change in plans. The host was more than willing to accommodate our needs. All the outside with the Fall plants and planters were especially inviting! Quite amazing. Would highly recommend. Thank you Erica and Doug!!!

Excellent all around!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Erica was the best host we have ever had. She responded immediately to my messages and went above and beyond even offering to come pick us up at the airport after our flight was delayed 3 hrs, and the rental car wait was >2 hrs. Luckily we didn't have to take her up on the offer but the fact that she offered meant so much! The Nest was lovely, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. It was perfectly located in Freeport, just a quick walk to the outlet mall and LL Bean store. If we get the chance to return to Maine, we will definitely try to stay at the Nest again. Thank you so much for your hospitality Erica!
