About this property

Cozy Rock Cabin #thewaylifeshouldbe

*As seen on Magnolia Network's 'The Cabin Chronicles'*

Cozy Rock Cabin is an 800 sq ft cabin on three acres of wooded land. Carefully designed for couples and digital nomads, it has everything you'll need to explore southern Maine (#thewaylifeshouldbe) or just stay cozy in front of a fire.

Follow the journey on IG at @cozyrockcabin!

The space is perfectly designed to be small and cozy, but also have everything you need to both live and work comfortably. There is one bedroom with a king size bed and desk, as well as a loft looking out into the woods with a full sized bed and a reading nook.

*NOTE* This cabin was designed and built specifically for two people. There are two beds, so you are welcome to travel with four guests, but please note there is not a wall between the two beds (one is on the loft above the primary bed), and the kitchen table only has two stools.

The kitchen will be fully stocked so you can cook all your own meals, and includes pots, pans, knives, utensils and a coffee maker.

LOCATION
Cozy Rock Cabin is just a quick 7 minute drive from downtown Freeport, Maine (home of the flagship LL Bean store and outlets) and just 20-25 minutes from Portland. Plus, we're right on the coast and it's easy to find water access whether you're wanting to visit the rocky beaches of Maine or drop a kayak in for a paddle.

BOOKING DETAILS
Spring (March-May): Calendar opens in early December
Summer (June-August): Calendar opens in early March
Fall (September-November): Calendar opens in early June
Winter (December-February): Calendar opens in early September


Perhaps the best part of the cabin (in my opinion) is the guest book. I've spent the entirety of the build creating a guest book pointing you to every single thing we love in the area. Carefully curated day trips, brewery tours (based on location, beer preference, etc.), outdoor excursions and more. If you've ever wanted to visit Maine but weren't sure where to start, Cozy Rock is definitely the place for you.

The space is ideal for mature adults, and is not a great fit for small children, or people looking to party (we legally are only allowed 4 guests maximum). We do have neighbors who are full time residents, and we care deeply about ensuring the area remains quiet and peaceful for them. Please plan accordingly.

Guests will have full access to the cabin and the property. The shed is kept locked as this is where we store all our supplies and equipment (snow blower, lawn mower, etc.).

While we're located in North Carolina, we have an awesome team of cleaners who are located nearby. We will communicate with you prior to, and during, your stay should you need anything at all. This includes questions about the house, as well as suggestions for places to eat, shop, adventure or travel.

Cozy Rock is located about 7 minutes from downtown Freeport, but sits on 3 acres of wooded land. You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere while also being so close to everything you might want to do.

There's plenty of parking at Cozy Rock, but no public transportation. If you're not driving from your destination, we recommend renting a car at the Portland airport. But once you have a car, you're just a quick drive from the beautiful Casco Bay (about 10 minutes), downtown Freeport (7 minutes) and the city of Portland (about 20 minutes).

PETS
While the property is dog friendly, we want to make sure you know that the trim is all white pine. We do not recommend bringing dogs that are young or aren't well trained, as they are apt to scratch/damage the trim. You will be charged for this, so just want to make sure you know this ahead of time! For this reason we also do not allow cats.

HOT TUB
We love the hot tub, and work diligently to keep it maintained year round. That said, due to situations outside of our control (Mother Nature or guest misuse) there are times where we are forced to drain and refill, or it takes extra time to reheat for the next guest. This happens rarely (so far only once in two years), but we like to manage expectations to avoid disappointment.

*WEATHER/CANCELLATIONS*
We can not predict or control weather, so we don't offer refunds due to inclement weather. Please keep this in mind when booking, and if this is a concern we recommend purchasing travel insurance (AirBNB provides this while checking out!).

Additionally, because our calendar stays fully booked year round we have a strict cancellation policy and do not make exceptions. If you have concerns about this, feel encouraged to purchase travel insurance, either from AirBNB or elsewhere. This is a great option to protect you, and protect us as hosts/business owners. We appreciate your understanding!
Due to city ordinance, we are not allowed to host more than 4 guests at Cozy Rock. We are also not allowed to host gatherings, so bookings are for guests only, and no more than 4.

We are a dog-friendly cabin, but do not allow cats.

The Perfect Maine Escape

Our family trip to the Cozy Rock Cabin was pure magic! We're all back home now, but seriously struggling with some post-vacation blues. The place was captivating - the beauty went way beyond anything a picture could capture. We haven't stopped talking about it to everyone we know! The cabin itself was a dream! The decor was stunning - a lovely blend of natural and organic elements that brought the beauty of the Maine outdoors right inside. We especially loved how the hosts showcased the work of local Maine artists and small businesses throughout the space. One of the highlights for me was the amazing library in the loft. There were so many wonderful books, and I can't wait to return someday and spend more time curled up with a good read! The cabin hosts were fantastic! They provided tons of useful information and recommendations, especially for first-time visitors like us. We felt so welcome and prepared thanks to their thoughtfulness. The cabin stay was just incredible, but the hosts truly went above and beyond. They left us a heartfelt gift bag that was such a thoughtful touch - it really made us feel special. The hospitality of the cabin hosts truly made the trip. We'd love to return someday and share some delicious local Maine beers with them – they seem like they'd be fantastic friends! Maine has truly stolen our hearts. We're even seriously considering buying some land or maybe even a home there. It's that incredible!

Wonderful Cabin Retreat

Wow...What a wonderful rental! From the initial booking to my stay, and departure, Janice was the ultimate host! It is obvious that she is passionate about not only her property but your stay. She was a delight to work with and never hesitated to be available for me. Her home is exactly as listed and even better! There was everything there that we could want and then some. She left beautiful welcome treats which were so thoughtful and appreciated. The home is well equipped...we grilled out the afternoon we arrived, used the hot tub and enjoyed the indoor reading space. (many books to choose from) A yoga mat too!!! The home was very clean and things were in great working order. The property seems like you are by yourself in a very private area but Freeport is just minutes away. Janice has a house binder with all sorts of suggestions which were helpful. We followed many of her suggestions and they were spot on. We really enjoyed the flow of the house and space...commenting that this exactly the kind of vacation property that we would love to own. My husband and I are already talking about a return visit. If I could rate this rental higher that a 10, I would...you will not be disappointed in staying here. Thanks Janice for a memorable time!
