I am all for celebrations and parties.
I feel the house is perfect for this occasion.

hosting drunken events with associated dangerous
behaviors and large numbers of attendees not
accounted for in the reservation and associated
destruction of my vintage house and property.

Awesome Time

It has been an awesome stay this year! The house is beautiful and very well tidy up! It was lovely to have the 13 of us sitting around the supper table every night after spending time in the area wether it was on the beach, in stores or even in small towns near by. Having a grocery store and wine stores near by was a great asset for the last minute meal plans! Thanks to Laura for hosting us and be such a gem when needed.

AMAZING

Our team was over the moon with the Gregory House! Laura was such a great host, the property was immaculate. Had more than we needed in the kitchen cooking every meal. We come back every summer and this will be the first property we look at for next year!

Amazing house and amazing character

We rented this house for a bachelor+bachelorette party. It's an amazing place, with enough bedrooms for everyone and a huge TV/game room on the top floor for us to gather in the evenings. We didn't make extensive use of the kitchen, but it was well stocked (if small - only a few cooks in there, please). Host was on top of communication. Location is convenient to Portland and has plenty of restaurants + a brewery nearby. Would definitely stay here with a group again!

Great Venue for Intimate Family Gathering

We loved the house and its victorian charm. The small details of the original house from fixtures and banisters to the furniture in the parlor and living rooms were wonderful. The upstairs game room was amazing! Kitchen was incredibly well stocked for the cooking we did for a large group. We hosted a Celebration of Life for my father and it was the perfect space for people to gather and remember him. There is a 1/2 bath powder room on the main level, but a couple of steps down. The 2nd floor has 2 full baths, one with a walk-in shower, the other with a clawfoot tub/shower combo. Stunning old fixtures and great water pressure! While not wheelchair accessible, our aunties with minor mobility troubles were able to access with assistance. Bedrooms were lovely. Being on a main intersection the traffic noise was a bit louder than we're used to, but the Host thoughtfully had white-noise machines and/or ear plugs available in almost every room. Room darkening shades would be a nice addition- just bring an eye mask if you're sensitive & want to sleep in ;) All in all it was the perfect house and exactly what we wanted for our time there. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Burke

I am a Registered Nurse. I moved to Portland Maine 30 years ago thinking I would stay a year or two and never left. I have two grown sons I'm very proud of and enjoy spending time with who live local. I am from Burlington Vermont and attended the University of Vermont. I LOVE living in Maine and have become addicted to the ocean and have become a foodie. I feel very spoiled to live here.

Why they chose this property

I have loved this property since I first drove by it in 1987. After visiting Run of the Mill Restaurant a few times I noticed it was for sale. I decided to take a look and it instantly won my heart. I bought in June 30, 2017. We are excited to care for it and enjoy it.

What makes this property unique

FABULOUS LOCATION. It is such a great location between Portland Maine to the North and York/Wells/Ogunquit to the South. Saco has so much to offer and there are so many local amenities and beaches.
