Newly renovated 1 bedroom apartment with full kitchen in historic farmhouse has separate access for complete independence. Only 35 min to Sunday River & 1 mile to downtown Norway. Direct connection to miles of hiking, biking & ski trails on Shepherd's Farm Preserve. Fish from our dock, use our canoes and kayaks, rent boats from the local marina or watch abundant wildlife from the deck - unlimited outdoor activities! The space The farmhouse sits atop a hill overlooking Norway Lake. You'll have views of the lake (partial in the summer), pastures and forest from your kitchen and living room windows. You can watch deer, bald eagles, fox, and porcupines and hear the loons and owls from your bed. The house is approximately 400-ft from the lake and sits on a hill 50-ft above the lake. The farm has been in existence since the 1700's and the current house was built in 1918 with major renovations in 1990 and in 2021, as well as ongoing work when guests are not present. There are 6 acres of pasture with many apple trees , and an additional 5+ acres of woods along the shoreline with paths to explore. Complete renovation of the 790 square-foot apartment was completed in May 2021. The full kitchen is stocked with pots and pans, utensils and dishes and basic spices. In the summer, you are welcome to use the picnic table and propane grill on the deck which overlooks the lake. Wifi in the house and a cell tower atop a nearby ridge provide reliable communication to be able to work remotely, if desired. Large screen, smart TV in the living room allows connection to your Netflix account, Youtube, and the internet. Guest access Guests have complete and sole access to the unit during their stay, as well as full access to all parts of the grounds, including waterfront, dock, boats and trails. Other things to note Cleanliness is critical to us. The apartment is thoroughly cleaned following each stay whether it is a quick overnight visit by one person or a week long vacation for a family of four. This includes washing all bedding, blankets, comforters, sheets, bathmats, towels, and dishtowels; scrubbing and sanitizing countertops and sinks; cleaning the stove, oven and refrigerator; and mopping floors, etc. Due to the size of the space and complete cleaning for your comfort, it takes about 2-1/2 hours to clean each time. As a result, the cleaning fee is the same regardless of duration. We employ a local cleaning person who we pay a livable wage to clean the apartment. You can be assured that the space will be fresh, clean and ready for your arrival and that you are supporting the local community!
