You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private Contemporary Artist's Tree House on two acres with perennial gardens.

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!
