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.

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!

As was last year perfect spot to visit Freeport. Walk to Downtown and avoid the traffic. My honey biked in a sponsored event and visited his beloved LL Bean. I antiqued and thrifted. Dinner at the Dolphin Marina and Tuscan Grill. Accommodations were great. I am sure we will b back.

Beautiful Little Apartment with Coastal Maine Flare

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at The Nest! The apartment was very clean, was stocked with everything we needed, and was conveniently located in walking distance to LL Bean and Freeport shopping. Apartment was very quiet and cozy in a coastal Maine style just like the listing said. 10/10. We live pretty far away, but would love to come back and stay here again!
