Sparrowhawk House NE style Farmhouse Walkable to Town, Near Portland

PRICING - All inclusive pricing makes booking your vacation easy.
One price + booking fee & Tax = Straightforward Reservation and No surprises

You are going to love Sparrowhawk House. The tidy yard featuring a gas fire pit and a shady patio with a Webber grill and outdoor dining that leads you into a chef’s kitchen, spacious living room, spa bathrooms and large, comfy bedrooms. The home is fully air conditioned. How is that for comfort?

The location is exactly right. A quiet residential neighborhood within strolling distance of a village that pulls out all the stops -- a main street lined with restaurants, boutiques, an ice cream shop, a shady park, historic riverfront, and a white-steepled 19th century church. There’s something so alluring about the small towns where so much history happened, and how so many things are still quaintly the way they always were. Not only can we see the three waterfalls and dams in Royal River Park and historical buildings, but Yarmouth is also home to the world-class Yarmouth Clam Festival in July, year-round sports and activities and most of all spectacular beauty everywhere you turn.
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare delicious meals -- pots, pans, drip coffee maker, dishes, utensils, etc.
All three bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with a queen bed in each. The main bedroom is located on the first floor. There is a day bed in a den area at the top of the stairs.

Be aware - deep spa tubs in each bathroom. This is an older, historic farmhouse. (built in the early 1900's) although it has been completely updated, stairs are steep to the second floor.

Maine's largest city and foodie dream, Portland, is twenty minutes south and the outlet town of Freeport and LL Bean is just next door, a shopper's delight.
And don't miss this - Only 15 mins away. Take a walk around Mackworth Island since it is so close to your house. Mackworth Island State Park is a gem of the Casco Bay area. An island of about 100 acres, accessible by a causeway to the mainland, there are 360-degree scenic views of the ocean and Portland’s skyline, and so much to be enjoyed on this little piece of preserved land. Accessible by a causeway, Mackworth Island State Park is full of local wildlife due to its mixed-growth forest and location at the mouth of the Presumpscot River. As a legally-declared bird sanctuary, you can expect to see a wide variety of birds including turkeys, warblers, ruffed grouse, and thrushes in addition to racoons, hares, foxes, skunks and squirrels. Watch the boats cruise by through the harbor, admire the rocky coast, enjoy the Portland skyline, and keep an eye out for the island’s “fairy village,” which is a collection of tiny houses made from natural materials for the island’s magical creatures to call home.

Quiet time in Yarmouth

We enjoyed being in a quiet residential neighborhood where we could walk the dog. The patio with garden lights was a real plus. We sat out there almost every evening. Only about 20 minutes to get into Portland. House was clean and comfortable.

Wanted a place to hang out and catch up with my elderly mom during our trip home. Lovely house, full kitchen, pretty accessible for her walker with large grd level bedroom. Be aware: tubs too tall for her to get in shower. Would recommend this spacious home, walkable to historic district to anyoke

Just right

The house was just as described and well appointed. It was also very clean! It was a great place for my mother and daughter to stay as the three us us each had our own room. There are two full bathrooms. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed to prepare our own meals and clean up easily. We will definitely be returning

The location was wonderful. The house was clean and well equipped with kitchen items. The steep stairs to the second floor were challenging due to the railings being uneven. There really should be cables or something closing in the open staircase. I purchased a bath mat for the tubs which were slippery.Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay. I would recommend this property to almost all ages. If someone has limited mobility the shower access is definitely a challenge. The neighborhood is quiet. Most everything was new and the beds comfortable.

Great home with easy access to Portland

Our adult kids and their partners joined us. The house was perfect for us - the kitchen is well stoced and the bedrooms great. A little more seating would be good when there are 6 in the house but we had a couple of camp chais and used those. The host was VERY responsible with the couple of questions I asked. Great place.

Yarmouth, Maine House

Super cute house. The home was well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. Inviting outdoor space with lights and fire pit. The neighborhood is quiet and overall a great location. Communication with the host was awesome. I had a few questions and Liz immediately responded. My family felt comfortable and we appreciated the cleanliness of the home. Would recommend staying here.

Nice little house in a quiet neighborhood

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house overall is nice and we really enjoyed our 3 days there.The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pan, plates and utensils. The outdoor patio with the hanging lights with a gas fire pit is nice. There was a minor issue in the house, ie the first floor bedroom door creak big time. It was be nicer if the kitchen table has 6 chairs instead of 4.

Great Stay but beware

This place was a great place to stay, but (as other reviews have stated) the stairs are difficult to climb and the entry to the shower/bathtubs is high. So if you are older, have a physical disability, or have young kids who may run inside, I would not choose this house. Also, the bathroom doors close but do not offer much sound privacy when it comes to bathroom noises. If you don’t have to worry about any of these things, this place is great! I would stay here again.

My only suggestion would be to add window blinds or black out curtains. It gets daylight very early and the rooms are bright. This would not keep me from staying here again though.

Quaint but close

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Older home with renovations that are not fully functional. Arrived to a house in the late evening that was 58 degrees in october. Hvac/furnace took 3 hours to warm the house. Broken couch, 2 legs were off and not fixable during our stay despite our notifying owners immediately. Owner seemed receptive to fix asap then ghosted us and said she "forgot" and there was "no excuse" or reason. Minimal sympathy for this when youre running a business in hospitality. We had 4 people in our group and no where to sit together but the dinette in the kitchen. We sat on the living room floor. Slow drainage in 1st floor shower, so we used only upstairs restroom. Loud heater upstairs, makes a "snapping" noise evertime turns onnor off. This woke us multiple times per night if sleeping upstairs. Location ia great. Kitchen was clean. Having laundry access was nice. Average accommodations overall.

Great neighborhood

The neighborhood was fantastic - people great and location wonderful. The kitchen was great. The 2nd floor suggests folks of shorter statue - meaning 5 foot 6 or shorter due to beds that sit next to a-line ceiling and stairs that bump head if taller. The house was clean and nice, but 2nd floor challenging. Bathroom showers (bath with 1/2 glass windows) need to be reconfigured as getting in and out challenging.

Cute House but needs a few tweaks

It was a cute house and in a good location. We were able to walk to town and to parks. We enjoyed the outside sitting area and fire pit. The house was clean but there are few things that need to be addressed. Too many glade plug ins, the doors to downstairs bedroom do not close properly, water fills up in downstairs tub while taking a shower, also, the barn doors in downstairs bath do not provide any privacy,.

Yarmouth Red Door and Senior Citizens

The community of Yarmouth is beautiful and we felt very safe. The house itself was not safe for senior citizens. When we arrived the outside step to door had no handrails. The STEEP stairs were dangerous with no hand rails. I did call Liz the property manager and she had someone put some up that evening. The tubs were called spa tubs because they were deep, requiring a leg raise of 24” with out any type of handle or bar to hold on to. My husband has asthma and there were 5 plug in air fresheners on the second floor with an additional 4 on first floor. Few safety changes needed.

This is a beautiful house with plenty of room and everything you need . We had 5 adults two kids and two dogs and had a great time . I have to say the kitchen table has only 4 chairs so if you will have more than 4 people you won't all be able to sit at the table together but we worked it out with a couple standing at the kitchen island . We did really enjoy our. time their

Few things to be noted. I recently had hip replacement and did not realize how high tub was. Could not get my legs over and was unable to shower. Tub not handicap accessible. Also stairs going upstairs need a hand railing. In Connecticut that would not pass the building codes. Dangerous. Also sugar ants on counter in kitchen. If food was on counter, ants would get into the food.
