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.

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.

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.

Just right

The house was just as described and well appointed. It was also very clean! It was a great place for my mother and daughter to stay as the three us us each had our own room. There are two full bathrooms. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed to prepare our own meals and clean up easily. We will definitely be returning

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.

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.

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.

Great neighborhood

The neighborhood was fantastic - people great and location wonderful. The kitchen was great. The 2nd floor suggests folks of shorter statue - meaning 5 foot 6 or shorter due to beds that sit next to a-line ceiling and stairs that bump head if taller. The house was clean and nice, but 2nd floor challenging. Bathroom showers (bath with 1/2 glass windows) need to be reconfigured as getting in and out challenging.

Cute House but needs a few tweaks

It was a cute house and in a good location. We were able to walk to town and to parks. We enjoyed the outside sitting area and fire pit. The house was clean but there are few things that need to be addressed. Too many glade plug ins, the doors to downstairs bedroom do not close properly, water fills up in downstairs tub while taking a shower, also, the barn doors in downstairs bath do not provide any privacy,.

Yarmouth Red Door and Senior Citizens

The community of Yarmouth is beautiful and we felt very safe. The house itself was not safe for senior citizens. When we arrived the outside step to door had no handrails. The STEEP stairs were dangerous with no hand rails. I did call Liz the property manager and she had someone put some up that evening. The tubs were called spa tubs because they were deep, requiring a leg raise of 24” with out any type of handle or bar to hold on to. My husband has asthma and there were 5 plug in air fresheners on the second floor with an additional 4 on first floor. Few safety changes needed.
