This bright, airy Yarmouth home is both private and secluded while still putting you close enough to the action, should you want to venture out—you’re a 10-minute walk into town, a 20-minute drive from Portland, and a 15-minute drive from Freeman, home to an outlet mall and L.L.Bean’s flagship store. The home has an impressive number of reviews (almost 600), with an average of 4.93 stars. Of note, the home doesn’t have AC, but past guests say fans help in the summer. As for who’s invited, this home fits six adults comfortably, and has an additional room with bunk beds and a toddler bed for little travelers.
