About this space
A restored 1773 stagecoach tavern in the Maine countryside — sleeps 8 across 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, with a chef's kitchen, a one-of-a-kind wine room, and a panoramic deck. Twenty minutes to Freeport & L.L. Bean, ten to Pineland Farms.

This is the refined, spacious base groups keep coming back for: room to spread out, character in every room, and a setting that feels a world away yet sits minutes from Maine's best. The chef's kitchen has premium Dacor appliances and quartz counters; bedrooms feature reclaimed-oak floors and luxury bedding; baths have rain showers. A queen sleeper sofa in the drawing room adds sleeping space, there's a fitness room and in-unit laundry, central AC, fast WiFi, a dedicated workspace, free parking, and an outdoor grill. Pet-friendly with notice.

Ideal for foliage season, holidays, family reunions, and celebrations. Thirty minutes from Portland, with Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village — the last active Shaker community in the world — just minutes away.

We celebrated Christmas with family. With some extra chairs and a table we hosted two meals for 12 and it was great. Cynthia could not have been better to work with. Highly recommend this location

The kitchen was extremely well outfitted and very spacious! The lighting was also excellent. This historic house was thoroughly renovated and very comfortable, with many superlative upgrades!!
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
This historic house is beautifully appointed and impressive. The kitchen is impressive and the house has anything you could ever need. We were most interested in the rich history of the area and Cynthia provided some great details. We even went down to the cemetery and found the builder Peleg Chandler's son's grave. Cynthia told us about the historical society being open on the first Saturday of every month and were able to go down and talk with them and see some of the artifacts including the Original Bell Tavern sign. It is a great area and we used it as our home base to take day trips to Portland, Kennebunkport and even down to Portsmouth NH.
