About this property

Sparrowhawk House NE style Farmhouse Walkable to Town, Near Portland

PRICING - All inclusive pricing makes booking your vacation easy.
One price + booking fee & Tax = Straightforward Reservation and No surprises

You are going to love Sparrowhawk House. The tidy yard featuring a gas fire pit and a shady patio with a Webber grill and outdoor dining that leads you into a chef’s kitchen, spacious living room, spa bathrooms and large, comfy bedrooms. The home is fully air conditioned. How is that for comfort?

The location is exactly right. A quiet residential neighborhood within strolling distance of a village that pulls out all the stops -- a main street lined with restaurants, boutiques, an ice cream shop, a shady park, historic riverfront, and a white-steepled 19th century church. There’s something so alluring about the small towns where so much history happened, and how so many things are still quaintly the way they always were. Not only can we see the three waterfalls and dams in Royal River Park and historical buildings, but Yarmouth is also home to the world-class Yarmouth Clam Festival in July, year-round sports and activities and most of all spectacular beauty everywhere you turn.
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare delicious meals -- pots, pans, drip coffee maker, dishes, utensils, etc.
All three bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with a queen bed in each. The main bedroom is located on the first floor. There is a day bed in a den area at the top of the stairs.
What’s included?
Each home comes with full linens and one set of towels per guest. So, if the home accommodates 6 people, you'll find 6 sets of towels waiting for you.
Feel free to use the washer and dryer on-site to freshen them up anytime.
Further, Coastal Maine Vacations has you covered with a handy starter kit. We provide an initial supply of shampoo, conditioner, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, soaps, trash bags, and more. While it's not meant to last your entire stay, it's perfect to get you through your first night or two and help you settle in comfortably.

Be aware - deep spa tubs in each bathroom. This is an older, historic farmhouse. (built in the early 1900's) although it has been completely updated, stairs are steep to the second floor.

Maine's largest city and foodie dream, Portland, is twenty minutes south and the outlet town of Freeport and LL Bean is just next door, a shopper's delight.

Coastal Maine Vacations requires a rental contract to be signed at the time of booking. If you would like to see a copy in advance please contact us.

Our first time to the area. Updated house in a quiet neighborhood and city just outside Portland. 20 minute drive or Uber into downtown Portland. The house was clean and easily accommodated 6 adults. We also enjoyed the outside sitting area with the fire pit.

Family time

We loved our stay! Family gathering where we could all be together. Great bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and outdoor space. We could have used a bigger table to eat at and a larger common area but perfect for 4-5 people.

Solid Vacation Rental Within close reach of OOB

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental property would not be ideal for the elderly or those with physical handicap due to steep stairs and deep tubs. But an otherwise comfortable property for a vacation. 3 comfortable queen sized beds and an uncomfortable day bed in the upstairs hallway loft. We found the place to be clean and relaxing.

Home away from home

We had such a lovely time in Yarmouth. We had enough space that we could spread out and the kids didn’t have to be on top of each other, plenty of amenities and even some reading material for those who forgot to pack some! We enjoyed sitting on the patio enjoying a glass of wine by the fire pit. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Quiet time in Yarmouth

We enjoyed being in a quiet residential neighborhood where we could walk the dog. The patio with garden lights was a real plus. We sat out there almost every evening. Only about 20 minutes to get into Portland. House was clean and comfortable.

We had a great stay. I would recommend this property to almost all ages. If someone has limited mobility the shower access is definitely a challenge. The neighborhood is quiet. Most everything was new and the beds comfortable.

Great home with easy access to Portland

Our adult kids and their partners joined us. The house was perfect for us - the kitchen is well stoced and the bedrooms great. A little more seating would be good when there are 6 in the house but we had a couple of camp chais and used those. The host was VERY responsible with the couple of questions I asked. Great place.

Yarmouth, Maine House

Super cute house. The home was well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. Inviting outdoor space with lights and fire pit. The neighborhood is quiet and overall a great location. Communication with the host was awesome. I had a few questions and Liz immediately responded. My family felt comfortable and we appreciated the cleanliness of the home. Would recommend staying here.

Great Stay but beware

This place was a great place to stay, but (as other reviews have stated) the stairs are difficult to climb and the entry to the shower/bathtubs is high. So if you are older, have a physical disability, or have young kids who may run inside, I would not choose this house. Also, the bathroom doors close but do not offer much sound privacy when it comes to bathroom noises. If you don’t have to worry about any of these things, this place is great! I would stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect accommodations for our family of five. Very clean, comfortable, and updated. Nice neighborhood. My only suggestion would be to add window blinds or black out curtains. It gets daylight very early and the rooms are bright. This would not keep me from staying here again though.

Sparrowhawk House is very clean and sits in a great neighborhood. The yard is small but not too small; our dog had enough room to run about. The driveway holds only two cars. I think the listing said it would fit 4. Nope. The house is clearly old - the floors are rather wavy and doors don't stay closed when you want. But the appliances and fixtures are pretty new and everything worked as expected. Being old, it lacks some of the electrical wiring you might expect... the house could use a bit more lighting. It would have been nice to have a reference book in the house describing how things work, where to get a good cup of coffee, etc. Overall, we had a great week. Thanks for letting us stay.

Great little house in a little neigbourhood. Convenient location. The yard and chairs were a nice shady quiet place to hang out for lunch and dinner. Bedrooms were decent size and the bed in the hallway was utilized by our group.Great water pressure and clean all around!We never got checkout instructions and office was closed on the weekend but we made it work.In the listing it says there are 4 parking spots but there are really two that are paved.

Sparrowhawk House

There was a glitch and when arrived late in the evening the house had not been cleaned. I did get in touch with property manager and she and another housekeeper came to change the linens, towels and clean the house. It was after 10PM and not sure why house had not been cleaned. Did appreciate the staff coming to clean. The upstairs electrical outlet does not work. This was reported the first day however was not repaired. The screen in the upstairs bedroom skylight was filthy should have been cleaned for the season. This was reported on the first day but on check out had not been cleaned. The top of the ac unit that you can see from the upstairs area is very dirty had been reported and not cleaned. Leaves had collected on the upstairs outside area that could easily be blown off as window opens and not attended too. The outside grass was quite high as lawn should have been mowed a few weeks ago. Also patio area full of old leaves and had not been cleaned. The last day we were there someone came and mowed the lawn and cleaned the patio. There needs to be more attention to detail in cleaning the house as it makes it unattractive. The area was a good location. Would be nice to have some welcoming items when arriving such as coffee, coffee cream, bottled water, as most places I have stayed in there are these things to help get started.

The location was wonderful. The house was clean and well equipped with kitchen items. The steep stairs to the second floor were challenging due to the railings being uneven. There really should be cables or something closing in the open staircase. I purchased a bath mat for the tubs which were slippery.Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.
