Really great place in Freeport

We had a wonderful two nights at The Nest. It is a perfect size and in the perfect location for walking to everything in Freeport. It is tucked away on a quiet side street with plenty of parking. Easy check-in and most importantly, the place is super clean, comfortable, and really well appointed. Erica and Doug have done a fantastic job of creating a beautiful space for visitors and were super responsive to our questions. We had a nice conversation with Doug on our way out. Really nice guy! We would definitely return and probably wouldn't bother looking for any other place because this was so perfect.

A little gem...

Our family stayed at The Nest for 2 nights. It was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. We had plenty of towels, sheets and blankets. The kitchen had everything we needed for some simple cooking. Erica responded nearly immediately to any questions we had and the check out procedures were minimal and easy. A great location that is walkable to the entire downtown area. Thank you for a great stay!

The Nest

It was a very nice place to stay. We stayed 3 nights… had only booked for 2 nights but a change in plans. The host was more than willing to accommodate our needs. All the outside with the Fall plants and planters were especially inviting! Quite amazing. Would highly recommend. Thank you Erica and Doug!!!

Excellent all around!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Erica was the best host we have ever had. She responded immediately to my messages and went above and beyond even offering to come pick us up at the airport after our flight was delayed 3 hrs, and the rental car wait was >2 hrs. Luckily we didn't have to take her up on the offer but the fact that she offered meant so much! The Nest was lovely, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. It was perfectly located in Freeport, just a quick walk to the outlet mall and LL Bean store. If we get the chance to return to Maine, we will definitely try to stay at the Nest again. Thank you so much for your hospitality Erica!

We absolutely love staying here. We have been coming to Freeport for many years. This was our 2nd year at this location and don't expect we could find a place we woud be happier with. It's comfortable, clean, nicely furnished, modern kitchen and bath, walking distance to everything yet in a quiet location. Perfect choice for our annual meet up of 3 childhood friends.

About the host

Hosted by Erica

Host profile image
We are local to the area and happy to help you make this vacation one to remember. There is so much to do and discover in our area from booking a deep sea fishing charter, road and mountain biking, hiking, skiing, to visiting lighthouses, beaches, shopping, museums, and site seeing from oceans to the mountains.

Why they chose this property

This upstairs apartment has been a labor of love for us. In addition to the close proximity to Portland, the ocean and the mountains you are just steps away from premium outlet shopping, restaurants and the home of LLBean! Recently renovated, care was taken to leave high ceilings and open historic beams. Efficient heat pumps in each room keep you cozy during summer and winter months with adjustable heat and air-conditioning at the touch of a remote.

What makes this property unique

The Freeport Downeaster train station and The Breeze bus route to Portland are easily walk able from the apartment. Please let us know if we can help direct you with public transportation.
