About this property

Country Cottage with Gardens

Hollyhock House is a renovated 1906 farmhouse secluded from the street and neighbors by mature cedar, fir, spruce, birch and ash trees and surrounded by gorgeous vegetable, flower and herb beds – more each year!

The house features hardwood floors in each room, many windows, and a 14′ x14′ screened sun porch, which many guests use as a breakfast room or home office. The kitchen is well equipped with a microwave, dishwasher, gas stove and lobster pot, of course! All linens are provided and beds will be made up for you when you arrive.

Eat outside at the picnic table, or, on a chilly evening, gather at the fire pit on the outdoor chairs and swing. Curl up at night to watch your favorite shows on the 40" Roku smart TV (bring your own streaming subscriptions).

We had a great week at Hollyhock House
This property worked very well for us during our fall trip to the Blue Hill area. The garden is lovely and the location was convenient. Heidi was a great host and she was very helpful answering our questions. Thanks again!

Old-fashioned Ambiance
Lovely gardens and wonderful porch, the most used room in the house. The kitchen could provide basic cooking ingredients (salt, pepper, sugar, etc.) and the stairway definitely needs a full handrail for geriatric people like us!

Lovely home in coastal Maine
My family loved their stay at Heidi's home! Such an idyllic location that has beautiful gardens and SO much outdoor space. The rooms in the house are spacious and well furnished. But the porch is what really shines. My family spent nearly all of their time on the porch because it was so lovely and comfortable. Heidi was very communicative and helpful. Oh, and the house is right by the best pizza place, Tinder Hearth. I highly recommend her lovely home. Thanks again, Heidi!!

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Kaufmann

Host profile image
My nickname is Heidi. I grew up in Sudbury, Massachusetts. I became a cultural historian with a focus on medieval Europe, particulary Germany, and completed my Ph.D. at Columbia University. I lived and taught for many years in various European countries.
In retirement I came to Maine, which I love in all seasons. But I am also pulled to Brooklyn, NY, where my daughter, son-in-law and grandsons live. My toddler grandsons are the light of my life.
