The 2012 addition allows us to live in our own space while our guests stay in the historic part of the home. We offer a 2-room suite - bedroom with full bed and closet plus sitting room with twin bed and closet - and a separate bedroom with a double bed and closet. Guests have access to their own updated bath with 2 sinks, shower/bath, and heated floor during cold winters. A hairdryer is there for you, too. A Keurig coffee/tea machine is available in the guest quarters as well as a small refrigerator. Feel free to stroll the grounds and pick the flowers in summer. In fall, feast your eyes on the colorful foliage. In winter, bring your snowshoes or cross country skis to use on the trails throughout our neighborhood. We ask that you not bring your pets.

We are a convenient place to stop on your way to skiing at Sunday River or Sugarloaf, the magnificence of Acadia National Park, or camping in Baxter State Park. LL Bean's flagship store is just 20 minutes away. So are the beaches south of Portland. You'll want to have a car as southern Maine has very limited public transportation.
