The Nest was exactly as described - cozy, clean and walkable to everything in Freeport. Erica and Doug were very communicative and even had it ready early on check in day for us. We appreciated all of the local tips they gave us for things to do and see too. We look forward to going back to Maine and would stay at the Nest again. My husband, son and I all enjoyed our time here relaxing and unwinding after sightseeing all day.

This place was perfect for a couple. Really nice and quiet 1 bedroom apartment with all the amenities of home-away-from-home. We loved Freeport and it was very centrally located for all our Maine activities like visiting family in both Bangor and Camden, as well as day-tripping to Portland and points south. Downtown Freeport was an easy walk as well. Loved it and would come again.

My family just adored this spot! We were in Freeport for two nights and found The Nest incredibly clean. It's newly renovated, has a comfortable queen bed and a perfect trundle bed as well. It is in an ideal location to walk right to town. Our kids are already begging to return again next summer for another stay. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

What a Great Find!

The Nest was everything we needed and more! It was cozy and in a quiet location. My family and I felt right at home. We were able to shop and eat at all our favorite places in Freeport. Everything was so close and within a 5-10 minute walk. We also loved the fact that Portland was only 15 minutes away. Erica and her husband were great hosts and checked in on us several times to make sure we were settled and enjoying our stay. We will definitely be booking The Next again when we plan a trip to Maine!

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.
