About this cottage rental
This contemporary two story addition floats like a tree house among apple trees. All the amenities of a hotel, but the feeling of your own home, surrounded by art from the 19th to 21st centuries (we are collectors and artists ourselves), on two acres with perennial gardens filled with foxglove, delphinium, sunflowers, dahlias, tulips and more overlooking a wetland: private entrance and parking, deck, grill, huge hot tub (shared) with expansive backyard and woods, Streaming TV, 500 Mbps Mesh Wifi, access to a canoe and kayak, efficiency kitchen, and all the quiet you can imagine. My husband and I occupy the main house to which this addition is attached, but the split level space is completely your own and not shared. Come enjoy the Foodie haven of Portland, Maine and the quiet elegance of rural living. Come to write your next novel or just get away. We are a 5 minute drive to downtown Portland and all the local beaches; as well as numerous woods walks and beach walks walking distance from our home. Bring your bike and paddle board, or borrow our canoe and kayak.
Book your dinner reservations in Portland, and your sleeping accommodations in the Artist's Tree House. Please note the kitchen is an efficiency kitchen. We have an induction hot plate, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven and outdoor grill, but the kitchen is small. No dishwasher. No clothes washer or dryer. For wonderful, more extensive meals we suggest these great local restaurants: Leeward, Central Provisions, Twelve, Isa, Street and Co, Terlingua, Bao Bao, Davids 388, Fore Street, Regards, Bar Futo, Eventide Oysters, Izakaya Minato, Duckfat and Miyake--to name a few!

My wife and I had a wonderful relaxing experience. When we arrived, we met with our host, Brian. Brian was friendly, accommodating and helpful. He gave us a tour of the property and pointed out the features of our space. Brian also provided a well thought out list of local restaurants and points of interest. Having been to Maine a number of times in the past, we were somewhat familiar with the area, but it was refreshing to get a locals opinion. We enjoyed privacy and peace with a separate entrance to our two story quarters. The hot tub was wonderful after a "long hard day" of playing traveler. The location was perfect for us. Cape Elizabeth is a suburban town very close to all the action in Portland, but far enough away for peace and quiet. We were within a few minutes drive to lighthouses, hiking trails and other quaint, small towns on the Maine coast. Thank you, Brian & Jocelyn - two thumbs up!!! We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend staying at their property.

What a beautiful, private, peaceful, and comfortable stay; we were so close to so many wonderful attractions and great restaurants and a nice grocery store. Our host was amazing. We had a very long day of travel due to cancelled flights and delayed flights. After almost 17 hours of travel, we were greeted by Brian and he walked us through the property and even assisted with our luggage. You can feel the love that the owners have for this property. We woke the next morning to see the beautiful flowers on our deck. The Dahlias were amazing as well as the trees. It was private, clean, and cozy. We cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was. We will definitely be back. Thank you to our gracious host.
