Private Contemporary Artist's Tree House on two acres with perennial gardens.

This contemporary two story addition floats like a tree house among apple trees. All the amenities of a hotel, but the feeling of your own home, surrounded by art from the 19th to 21st centuries (we are collectors and artists ourselves), on two acres with perennial gardens filled with foxglove, delphinium, sunflowers, dahlias, tulips and more overlooking a wetland: private entrance, deck, grill, huge hot tub (shared) with expansive backyard and woods, Streaming TV, 500 Mbps Mesh Wifi, access to a canoe and kayak, efficiency kitchen, and all the quiet you can imagine. My husband and I occupy the main house to which this addition is attached, but the split level space is completely your own and not shared. Come enjoy the Foodie haven of Portland, Maine and the quiet elegance of rural living. Come to write your next novel or just get away. We are a 5 minute drive to downtown Portland and all the local beaches; as well as numerous woods walks and beach walks walking distance from our home. Bring your bike and paddle board, or borrow our canoe and kayak.

Book your dinner reservations in Portland, and your sleeping accommodations in the Artist's Tree House. Please note the kitchen is an efficiency kitchen. We have an induction hot plate, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven and outdoor grill, but the kitchen is small. No dishwasher. No clothes washer or dryer. For wonderful, more extensive meals we suggest these great local restaurants: Leeward, Central Provisions, Twelve, Isa, Street and Co, Terlingua, Bao Bao, Davids 388, Fore Street, Regards, Bar Futo, Eventide Oysters, Izakaya Minato, Duckfat and Miyake--to name a few!

Just What The Doctor Ordered!
What an enjoyable and relaxing respite! The location was quiet & private but a quick drive to restaurants, sites & attractions. Best of both worlds. Our host (Brian) was friendly and gracious. He made sure we had everything we needed and was a joy to talk to. This property is definitely worth returning to!

Serenity in a stunning setting
The space was pristine, comfortable and the kitchenette and sitting area amenities were perfect. Although adjacent to the owner property it is very private and secluded. The art displayed within is like staying in a gallery. The loft bedroom is very cozy with blackout shades and a nice bed and bedding. Close to everything in a beautiful Cape Elizabeth neighborhood near Ft Williams and the Portland Head Light and minutes from downtown Portland. We enjoyed our stay very much and will certainly return.

Wonderful Girls Trip!
My friend and I stayed in the Tree House for a reunion weekend and had a great time! The location of Brian’s property was perfect for exploring, hiking and having a very nice space to come back to at the end of the day! Brian was fantastic with communication, recommendations and ensuring we felt welcome. Highly recommend booking this spot!

Relaxing retreat
Pros: location location location. It is outside of the city but less than a mile from Fort Williams park and easy driving to other amazing scenic areas. We were looking for country vibe and we found it. Plus I felt safe on some morning runs. TV options. After a long day of exploring to be able to come back and watch a movie was a way to wind down. Brian offers multiple different subscription options to choose from. Amenities. The kitchen is just a counter, but the amenities available are fresh and new. We love to cook and used either the grill, toaster, or hot plate daily. I also very much enjoyed the coffee maker and nespresso options in the morning. Host. Brian was very friendly and provided us with wonderful sightseeing activities. We never would have had the amazing experience without him. Con: no freezer. Kind of a bummer to buy ice daily. Privacy. At first appears not private with all the windows. However! Brian and his family do not disturb.

A Magical Property!
From the minute you step foot onto the property, you can feel the love and care that has surrounded the grounds . The Dalias , sunflower, thistle, lilacs,and daisies ,bloom in an array of color. Apples blueberries and blackberries were bountiful and offered by the host , Bryan . My friend and I grew up in Cale Elizabeth and came back for our 50 HS reunion. We loved being able to stay in Cape Elizabeth, 5 minutes from the most photographed lighthouse in the world, first commissioned by George Washington, The Portland Headlight and Fort Williams offer a myriad of walking paths , a beach , picnic tables , food trucks, a gift shop and museum. Two lights and The Lobster Shack are close by as is Crescent Beach State Park . This property is 15 minutes from Portland and the bustling Old Port area known for its incredible restaurants, shops , bars and music . The East and Western Promenade's views are breathtaking and only a 10 min drive . The geese welcome you as you come and go and the 3 dogs on the property are incredibly friendly and well behaved. Everything was delightful. Sitting on the deck enjoying some Nespresso Coffee in the morning, meditating under the oldest apple- tree named” Grandma” and relaxing in the hot tub after a long day made us fall in love with “ Dragon-Fly Farm “ . We hated to leave ….and so will you .

Peaceful Getaway
Such a beautiful and serene spot, comfortable & cozy, with incredibly easy access to Portland and the Cape Elizabeth walks and beaches. We especially appreciated the Dragonfly Farm write-up for all things to see and do and Brian's warmth and availability. Would highly recommend!
