Back Cove House | Dog-friendly home to yourself - only 7 minutes to downtown Portland

3 Bedroom House in Back Cove, Portland

Enjoy all that Portland offers in a comfortable, two-bedroom (plus finished basement) home in a quiet neighborhood all to yourself:
*Please note - there is a $100 pet fee if you choose to bring your dog.
*Spacious bedrooms and open living space with hardwood floors
*The bathroom is newly renovated with a newly tiled tub/shower.
*Finished basement with living room space, TV, and bedroom area.
*Reliable high-speed internet
*New heat pumps for heat and AC
*A deck with a gas grill and a fully enclosed and nicely landscaped backyard.
*Two off-street parking spaces (one behind the other) + plenty of on-street parking
*Full kitchen with pots and pans, plates and utensils, etc.
You will be staying in my family's home (you will have the entire property to yourself)– you should find space in the top drawers and some hangers in the closet. Please respect our space and belongings.
The home is 7 minutes from downtown (the Old Port). Whole Foods is also just a short drive away--as are Trader Joe's and other local supermarkets. And, of course, Portland has world-class restaurants.
I'm happy to provide advice to guests. As a native of the area, I can help recommend local restaurants, bars, nature, beaches, parks, music venues, breweries, etc around Portland (and can also provide insights for other points of interest in Maine.)
No smoking is allowed in the home. There is a $100 pet fee if you bring your pet during your stay in our house.

Summary: This is was a great stay. Easy walk to Back Cove, minutes to downtown, and a great fenced in yard for my puppy. We also loved that the entire basement was finished and a great additional space to relax.
