It goes out for 3 hours every day in morning and afternoon. Call first because of Virus. You get to get off on one island for half an hour for coffee. Its awesome way to spend the day in Portland. I love D’imillo's floating resturant right down the street from the mail boat access> It's actually a sea tanker rehabbed into a restaurant. I love going on the top deck and watch all the boats and cruise ships coming and going. You can sit and eat there! So much to see in Maine and New Hampshire! I can't put it all in here! Bay Haven here in Town has awesome Seafood! Suggested Local Attractions:beaches and mountains. Fairs and bluegrass festivals and much more!

Home Town: I was brought up in Cornish,Maine. A beautiful little town with lots to offer visitors. Antique shops and small shops galore.

We used Packratphyls as a home base as we explored the Cornish area and drove down to Portland. It was quiet and peaceful — and the owners were very nice. We had a great time!

if you want an easy going peaceful spot to relax, this is the place. tucked away off the road surrounded by woods, yet centrally located and close to everything. i will definitely stay again, we still had so much more to enjoy. the host is so great and very flexible and easy to communicate with.

We stayed here in August and again in September. Big rig friendly. Our hosts were so welcoming and easy-going. They have a community fire pit that we enjoyed with them a couple nights. They also set up corn hole for us to play with our kids. There is a river down behind the property that we walked down and swam in on a hot day. Town is not far for essentials. Great stay and we would definitely stay again.

We stayed here so that we could attend the Freeburg Fair. It worked out great. Plenty of parking areas to choose from. Didn't need to level our truck camper. Site we chose was dead level. The field is a bit bumpy, just take it slow. Our hostess was very helpful. Great place to get away.

We stopped here last year and really enjoyed it Phyl and Tony are great folks,and it's a pretty relaxing stay in the field behind the flea market extravaganza that is Packrat Phyl's. Good seafood at Bay Haven a mile down the road.
