Cottage in Pownal

Upscale Timber-Frame Cottage, Shop/Dine/Hike/Bike

Relax and unwind at this cozy post-and-beam cottage in a woodsy setting. Complete with all the modern amenities you will feel at home after exploring all that Maine has to offer. At day’s end ascend to the loft bedroom for a great night's sleep. Please note the current Maine travel restrictions: https://www.maine.gov/covid19 This custom post and beam cottage is brand new. Designed by John Libby, one of the most respected timber frame builders in New England, (www.housesandbarns.com) this space was thoughtfully designed and meticulously built specifically for your enjoyment. This cottage resides on the owner’s property, but is sited on its own two acres nestled among a beautiful stretch of Maine hardwood forest. Accessible via its own private driveway and surrounded by acres of pristine forest, it is the perfect place to relax among nature. No matter the season the exposed weathered Douglas Fir beams of the building will both welcome you and wrap you in a feeling of comfort and contentment. This complete home has all of the amenities. The kitchen includes natural unpolished granite countertops and brand new appliances including a stainless steel gas oven/range, dishwasher and refrigerator. The whitewashed walls of the hallway and bathroom provide a more modern feel, while showcasing all the wonderful knots of the Maine white pine from which it was milled. An easy-to-access, low/no step corner shower complete with floor to ceiling tile and an oversized vanity make time in the bathroom a pleasure. The open concept makes for a natural flow through the space and the sitting area comes complete with a queen sofa bed, TV and a gas fired wood-stove. The vaulted ceilings rise 22’ above the floor providing a spacious and beautiful feel. Radiant heat in the finished concrete floors make the space cozy and keep your feet warm. Oversized and lit stairs lead to the loft where you’ll find a king sized bed providing the opportunity for a great night’s sleep. Large windows make you feel as though your sleeping in the tree tops…come Fall this Oak and Maple forest comes alive with color. A ceiling fan keeps you cool, in the Summer and moves the heat around come Winter. Enjoy the beautiful outdoors on either the front or back deck, or from your own personal fire pit complete with granite bench. Don’t forget the s’mores! Guests have access to the post and beam cottage as well as the immediate surrounding area. We ask that the property boundaries are respected and that the guests do not go past the rock wall or onto the main house property or neighboring properties/horse farm. The post and beam cottage is on the same property as our primary residence but has it’s own driveway and is situated in a private clearing surrounded by beautiful forest. We will usually be available to welcome you personally and are happy to meet new people and make new friends but we also respect our guests privacy as we expect the same in return. Thank you! This post and beam cottage is in the small town of Pownal, 20 minutes from the wonderful restaurants, sights, and sounds of Portland. It's a 10-minute drive to Freeport and the L.L.Bean flagship store. Bradbury Mountain State Park is two miles away.

Unbeatable Views & Privacy at Blank Slate Farm

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 day ago

This is the second time we have rented from Heather and we would definitely do so again. The view from the deck is stunning. The kitchen is well equipped should one want to prepare meals. The apartment is immaculate! The apartment is quiet and the information sheet provided by the host regarding house rules and information on how to work the coffee maker and tv was extremely thorough. Any questions were answered promptly and courteously. We look forward to renting from Heather again.

Brunswick Farm Stay

TomRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Seth and Maura’s place was perfect for my needs. The apartment is roomy, comfortable, and bright. I felt right at home preparing meals, relaxing on the couch, and getting good nights’ sleeps in the large and cozy bedroom. Access to the trails on the property is a wonderful bonus, with winding loops through a variety of habitats and tons of bird activity. To top it all off, the Saturday morning farmer’s market on the property is a wonderful way to provision yourself for your stay, with lots of local providers of veggies, meats, cheeses, breads, and flowers. I also enjoyed watching and hearing the farming activity, from mowing fields to loading trucks with produce. Overall, a great experience that I hope to repeat.

What a beautiful apartment nestled in the woods of Maine. Still close to the ocean and downtown Freeport. I was there in winter and it snowed. That made me appreciate the cozy comforter.

Romantic Hidden Cottage!

AdriannaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Misty’s cabin was very cute, cozy, and private. We loved soaking in the hot tub and listening to the frogs and crickets at night! The bed is kind of firm and springy but was doable for a short stay. Would definitely recommend grabbing breakfast at the cafe 1055 across the street, we ended up stopping there twice and it was delicious both times. Misty had great communication during our stay as well!

The tiny cabins are very cool with a panoramic window. Each has its own private outdoor solar shower and small sitting deck. There is an outhouse with a camping toilet, an outdoor kitchen/picnic area with grills, tables and a small camping sink. There is also a wood stove heated sauna that was Great along with a charcoal heated hot tub and cold plunge tub. Inside the “pro-shed” you will find all the discs you need to play the full 18 hole course that provided lots of fun and laughter for our group! There was also corn hole, lawn scrabble and Bocce that we did not have enough time to play. We would definitely like to return. Thank you Ryan for such a unique experience!
