Cozy 1st Floor Studio

1812 Pierce House is a unique home on the National Register of Historic Places. Full of antiques & modern touches. If you like interesting places to stay, this is for you! If you like straight lines & central air, we recommend a hotel.

A private entrance with your own entry hall, bedroom w/ table, closet, & small hall leading to the bathroom w/ shower. Small fridge with freezer, hot water kettle, coffee/tea, 2 electric burners, toaster & microwave. Firepit in large yard. Close walk to river.

This home is a great jumping off point and central location to many incredible Maine locations.

The entrance, suite, and bathroom are all yours. We have many guests who use the suite and never enter the main part of the house. Keep in mind that I live here with my children. We are fairly neat but not perfectionist.

The suite is equipped with a microwave, two electric burners, a hot water kettle, and small fridge with freezer, but you are welcome to use the shared kitchen or outdoor grill or fire ring. We just ask that you clean up after yourself in shared spaces.

This house is unique and full of character. Keep in mind that due to its age, it’s not perfect. We’ve upgraded a lot and we enjoy its charm. We hope you do too!
