About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private Contemporary Artist's Tree House on two acres with perennial gardens.

This contemporary two story addition floats like a tree house among apple trees. All the amenities of a hotel, but the feeling of your own home, surrounded by art from the 19th to 21st centuries (we are collectors and artists ourselves), on two acres with perennial gardens filled with foxglove, delphinium, sunflowers, dahlias, tulips and more overlooking a wetland: private entrance and parking, deck, grill, huge hot tub (shared) with expansive backyard and woods, Streaming TV, 500 Mbps Mesh Wifi, access to a canoe and kayak, efficiency kitchen, and all the quiet you can imagine. My husband and I occupy the main house to which this addition is attached, but the split level space is completely your own and not shared. Come enjoy the Foodie haven of Portland, Maine and the quiet elegance of rural living. Come to write your next novel or just get away. We are a 5 minute drive to downtown Portland and all the local beaches; as well as numerous woods walks and beach walks walking distance from our home. Bring your bike and paddle board, or borrow our canoe and kayak.

Book your dinner reservations in Portland, and your sleeping accommodations in the Artist's Tree House. Please note the kitchen is an efficiency kitchen. We have an induction hot plate, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven and outdoor grill, but the kitchen is small. No dishwasher. No clothes washer or dryer. For wonderful, more extensive meals we suggest these great local restaurants: Leeward, Central Provisions, Twelve, Isa, Street and Co, Terlingua, Bao Bao, Davids 388, Fore Street, Regards, Bar Futo, Eventide Oysters, Izakaya Minato, Duckfat and Miyake--to name a few!
This cottage's great location gets high marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Casco Bay. Features include a hot tub. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cottage.

My wife and I had a wonderful relaxing experience. When we arrived, we met with our host, Brian. Brian was friendly, accommodating and helpful. He gave us a tour of the property and pointed out the features of our space. Brian also provided a well thought out list of local restaurants and points of interest. Having been to Maine a number of times in the past, we were somewhat familiar with the area, but it was refreshing to get a locals opinion. We enjoyed privacy and peace with a separate entrance to our two story quarters. The hot tub was wonderful after a "long hard day" of playing traveler. The location was perfect for us. Cape Elizabeth is a suburban town very close to all the action in Portland, but far enough away for peace and quiet. We were within a few minutes drive to lighthouses, hiking trails and other quaint, small towns on the Maine coast. Thank you, Brian & Jocelyn - two thumbs up!!! We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend staying at their property.

What a beautiful, private, peaceful, and comfortable stay; we were so close to so many wonderful attractions and great restaurants and a nice grocery store. Our host was amazing. We had a very long day of travel due to cancelled flights and delayed flights. After almost 17 hours of travel, we were greeted by Brian and he walked us through the property and even assisted with our luggage. You can feel the love that the owners have for this property. We woke the next morning to see the beautiful flowers on our deck. The Dahlias were amazing as well as the trees. It was private, clean, and cozy. We cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was. We will definitely be back. Thank you to our gracious host.

Amazing stay! Brian and Jocelyn have a beautiful home, tucked away in the trees on a gorgeous lot with a beautiful garden. The home is in a perfect location right near Portland/South Portland, with quick access to many restaurants, beaches, national parks, and much more. We look forward to staying again in the future!

Our stay at this tree house was absolutely amazing! The hosts were exceptional—they accommodated us with an early check-in since our flight arrived early, gave us a personal tour, and provided fantastic recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Even before our trip, they sent a detailed guide with restaurants, local tours, and tips, which was incredibly helpful.The house itself was spotless, stylish, and so comfortable. The backyard and perennial gardens were beautiful, and our 7-year-old goldendoodle loved exploring the space. The driveway was easy to access, and everything about the property was convenient. I appreciated the espresso cups and the well-equipped kitchen, which made cooking simple when we decided to dine in.The atmosphere of the home was warm and inviting, and the location was perfect—just 15 minutes from downtown Portland and close to state parks and beaches. I would give this property a 10/10 and highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area!

Absolutely wonderful stay and so glad we found this gem. Close to all the best beaches but still easy to get to Portland for the great food scene. The hosts were helpful and accommodating - we had lost luggage delivered and they made sure we got a it. The space was clean, very livable and beautifully designed. We’ll definitely be back when we visit the area.

Family Vacation!

We had a wonderful stay with Brian and Jocelyn. The tree house was cozy and clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable, restful stay. We were in Cape for a noisy family reunion so it was nice to come back to the quiet tree house with the breeze blowing through the bedroom windows.Brian was extremely responsive and friendly. We would definitely stay again.

A beautiful week

The property is beautiful and the hosts are kind and welcoming, ensured privacy, were responsive to needs. It was summertime and particialty hot for the area a few days and they gave us advice on keeping it comfortable but it did hit 80 degrees in the living area, while the AC kept the bedroom cool. There are bugs, it cant be helped so if you cant handle ants and spiders think twice. There was soap scum in the bathroom but otherwise it felt very clean. Location 5 minutes away from fort williams park and the beach and 15 away from portland was ideal. Country setting with everything close by. Would stay again. Caution, the geese will try and nibble your toes.

Lovely artist’s loft in the treetops

We loved our stay with Brian and Jocelyn! The apartment was cozy, clean, and well provisioned. Brian was an excellent host and super responsive, even going the extra mile to make sure our ice pack was frozen for our long drive home. The hot tub was lovely and clean. Easy access to Old Port Portland via bike or car. Quiet neighborhood. It was lovely to watch the fireflies in the garden at night and enjoy the beautiful flowers during the day. Please note that there is no freezer and no AC in the main area but the windows and fans and the AC unit in the bedroom are sufficient. Highly recommended!

Naturalist’s Gem

This was our 2nd stay and as before the property didn’t disappoint. We enjoy the location near family in South Portland, but it provides a comfortable and scenic rest away from activities. We always enjoy walking at Two Lights, Fort Williams and Higgins Beach just short drives from this location. We had memorable dining experiences at Scales and Luke Lobster at nearby Portland. Enjoying our morning coffee on site among the scenic gardens, birdsong and wildlife is a treasure. The hosts are supportive and helpful though never intrusive. We look forward to a future return.
