Industrial Farmhouse Chic in Portland's Most Desirable Neighborhood

Registration #2018-4090. Walk everywhere from the SWEET! This huge, beautifully furnished space w/4 full bedrooms, plus a daybed room. Relax in the comfy leather furniture & stream movies on the 50" smart TV, gather round the big farm house table, sip coffee in our sunny yellow orb chairs...take a bath in the original claw foot tub...it's both incredibly spacious and cozy. Luxurious beds w/lots of pillows, quilts & duvets. **Groups must agree to House Rules before booking will be confirmed.

The style is very Maine...a mix of original, and new, with a sense of humor and a sense of history and place. Antiques mingle with brand new furniture, the bathroom still has original clawfoot tub but beautiful updated fixtures. We love design that's playful and has purpose, and we love to mix things up. You'll see pipes for hooks, a tool chest on wheels for a kitchen cabinet, open shelves and baskets for your clothes...wire baskets for your shower essentials...and we love mixing patterns in a very visually interesting way.

Guests have access to all of the space, the entire second floor of the building. Four bedrooms plus a daybed room, brand new kitchen with gas stove, big farm house table for dinners in, lots and lots of windows looking onto leafy trees...oh and of course a new 50" smart TV for those rainy stay-in nights.

I'm just around the corner at my other building at 70 Waterville Street. I own and operate two pet supply boutiques..one here in Portland, and one on Newbury Street in Boston...so sometimes I'm in Boston but I'm always just a message away. I grew up in the restaurant world and used to own my own restaurant here in Portland, so to me, hosting is really fun and comes naturally. One of the things I love most about it is sharing what I love about Portland so feel free to ask for more suggestions (there are lots in the listing, but it only gets updated from time to time)

There are two window AC units, one in the bedroom with the brass bed, and the other in the living room. Fans are also provided.
HOUSE RULES & PET RULES - Please read carefully

NO BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE WEEKENDS. Unfortunately we’ve found that the heavy drinking that has accompanied bachelor/bachelorette groups has resulted in disturbances of the peace for our other guests and neighbors. Bookings confirmed before 7/22/24 will be honored but strict adherence to all House Rules is required. If your group disturbs the peace you can be charged a noise fee starting at $100.

- Quiet hours 10pm to 7am. Music, TV, and voices should be at normal levels
- When returning from nights out, whether on the street or in the building, please keep your voices low - be respectful that others in the neighborhood are sleeping and not on vacation
- No parties or events at all are allowed
- No open flames or candles
- No smoking is allowed in the building or premises including front or back entryways and garden - others pass through these outdoor areas so please go for a walk when you smoke
- We ask that you please remove shoes inside
- No cutting directly on the kitchen counters. Please use cutting boards
- Bikes: We welcome pedalers. Please do not bring bikes inside the building. You may lock them to the ‘black wave’ bike rack. The bike rack is located in the courtyard (for all guests at 62 Monument Street).
- Pets: please make your request for approval of your pet in advance. All guests with pets will be asked to review and agree to our Rules below for Furry Family and pay a pet fee
- The booking guest, as our only contact for your group, is responsible for the rest of the group, so please make sure everyone in your group is made aware of these rules and is willing to abide by them
- Before checking out, please walk through all rooms to check for forgotten items. Message us if you see notice any damage or any extra cleaning needed

RULES FOR FURRY FAMILY
Please review the Rules for Furry Family below closely, and reply confirming you will abide by them. We are very much animal lovers, and they are a big part of our lives! As such, we have come up with these rules with the happiness and safety of all of our guests in mind (animal as well as human).

- Dogs may not be left alone for more than 2 hours without a break. Separation anxiety is more common than you might think, and it’s preventable. There are lots of dog-friendly patios where you can bring your pup with you and have a great meal. Pet sitters who can look after your pet are available through Rovers.com. Please plan ahead…call places you might want to go, and/or book a pet sitter in advance
- You are required to leave your phone on at all times and be ready to return to your rental right away should there be reports of noise coming from your furry friend while you are out
- Our spaces are in a quiet neighborhood and in historic buildings where noise travels. Occasional ‘hello!’ barks are fine, but ongoing barking, whining or howling will likely disrupt other guests or neighbors
- Crates for adult dogs are strongly encouraged, and are required for puppies up to one year old
- For the safety of all, when entering and exiting our apartments and on our grounds you are required to use a leash. Portland has a leash law requiring dogs be on leashes 8’ or shorter in all public spaces
- Please bring your dog’s bed or travel mat; and a pet blanket if your pet is accustomed to getting on the furniture
- Damage, for example chewing, scratching, marking/other stains; are your responsibility
- Potty breaks: Please take a nice stroll through our beautiful neighborhood rather than using our courtyard or garden
- Please pick up! Look for the small metal trash bin (70 Waterville Street), or the large black square trash bins (62 Monument Street)

Pet fee: we charge a $50 pet fee per reservation for up to two pets for stays up to 4 nights; or per pet for longer stays. All proceeds from pet fees are donated to the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland and Portland Trails, two local organizations instrumental in animal welfare and outdoor access for dogs.
