Cozy & Private Studio Apartment

Recently renovated studio apartment, very cozy, with a private side yard and entrance, kitchenette and TV (Roku with Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu and Amazon). Very comfortable queen size bed with floor space for kids, if desired. Fantastically located just over a mile from beautiful Winslow Park's walking trails and beach, four miles south of downtown Freeport's shopping and 15 miles north of the popular city of Portland. Housebroken and well behaved pets welcome to join their humans! The space The studio apartment, originally built in 1979 and renovated in 2019, is in a separate building from the main part of our house. It has private parking and an entrance with a numerical key code so you're comfortably able to come and go on your own schedule. The private entrance does include an outside flight of stairs and has no handicap accessibility. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchenette with all the dining utensils and dishes you should need as well as critical cooking devices—microwave, toaster oven, Keurig coffee maker, electric tea kettle, and electric burners. We provide salt, pepper, olive oil, coffee, tea, sugar/sweetener, half & half, and cooking essentials for humans and dog bowls for critter guests. We also have a child’s pac & play we can loan you if needed during your stay—just please let us know in advance so we can leave it out for you. The apartment is decorated with a rustic coastal style and includes some antique furniture. Visit the picturesque South Freeport town harbor about two miles away or the beautiful beach at Winslow Park about a mile down the road from our property. There are also many local walking/hiking trails and water views at Winslow Park or Wolfe’s Neck Park (about eight miles north) as well as several local town trail systems as described in our welcome book in the apartment. Lots of shopping (including LL Bean and all its campus has to offer!), eating and drinking (four local breweries in town!) about four miles north in downtown Freeport. Other great restaurant options about three miles south in Yarmouth, and of course, in Portland, about 15 miles south. Check out our AirBnB guide book for more suggestions about local things to do. We welcome well behaved and house trained furry guests to join their humans. While we don’t require pets be crated while you’re away, we do have a medium/large dog crate (36”x24”x24”) available for your use if it would help make you or your pet(s) more comfortable or keep your furry loved one out of trouble. Please let us know in advance if you’d like to borrow the crate. There is also a $30 pet fee—please indicate you are bringing a pet when you book your reservation. Guest access Guests have full access to the studio apartment and the dedicated parking space. There’s also a nice private side yard and wild garden area at the base of the apartment stairs that is all yours. For outdoor seating, there is a small table and chairs on the deck just outside the door. We also have a big lower field that is great for running any four legged friends who may join you for your visit. Other things to note The carriage house ceilings, as seen in the pictures, are slanted and intersect with the walls low in some places, making it potentially difficult to navigate for extremely tall guests. If you’re visiting in the winter months it is important to have a vehicle with all wheel drive or four wheel drive and good snow tires. Our driveway starts with a short but fairly steep hill and it can be tricky without the right vehicle if we have any winter weather. We do have a snow plow contractor but he has a lot of accounts and it may be several hours before he gets to our house. You should have no issue with the right tires and AWD/4WD. The apartment is accessed using an outdoor staircase which can get slippery in wet/below freezing temperatures. If we are home, we’ll shovel, sand and salt (pet friendly) for you if needed. If we aren’t home we’ll leave these tools outside for you to use. There is no easily accessible public transportation nearby and Ubers/Lyfts can be hit or miss. Registration Details STRR-2021-34
