“Sometimes you must go on an adventure to find out where you belong.”
The Artist’s Haven is a country Cape on the coast of Maine, where salt air off the ocean meets the scent of the pine woods. It’s a women-only retreat for anyone who needs a little time away: to rest, to make something, or just to hear yourself think. I opened my doors in 2017, and ever since I’ve been graced with the most interesting women. Some come to paint, some to write, some to sleep late and walk the shore. My kettle is always on. If you’d like company, pull up a chair. I’ll have a story for you and a little something from the kitchen.
Looking for a little adventure, or a little peace? Every guest comes for something different. Whether you’re here to meet a poetry deadline or to explore everything my beautiful peninsula has to offer, I’ll help you find your way. I’ve earned Superhost status on Airbnb, and I take it to heart: I want every guest to feel safe, respected, and blessed by her stay. You can see the rooms on my website, or go straight to my Airbnb profile with the button below. And if you have any questions about my little Haven, I’d love to hear from you.

Testimonials From My Guests

“I had the most unforgettable stay here. I came at a time where I suddenly felt lost and hopeless in my life, after years of ongoing heartache. I thought - I’ve never been to Maine. Let me go there and perhaps allow the rocky coast of Maine to speak to me. I randomly found Alex’s place on the map and after reading the reviews, I thought - this seems like a good and safe place. Little did I know , it was far more than that. My stay here revealed that God works in such funny and mysterious ways. Being in Maine, in Alex’s home and being able to connect with this beautiful woman brought me so much joy. I spent some of my time conversing with her and the rest of my stay in the loft included relaxation, reflecting, reading, journaling, sleeping more than I have in years and of course the most amazing bath. I laughed, I cried, I feel refreshed/renewed but best of all…. I leave with a heart full of gratitude and hope. And Alex, you and your haven played a significant part in that journey.”

“I truly cannot say enough good things about this little piece of heaven. From the moment I arrived, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and comfort. The space is warm, inviting, and full of character—just like Alex herself, who welcomed me with the kind of hospitality that felt like reconnecting with an old friend. Every detail in the space has heart—from the cozy bed tucked beneath the eaves, to the handmade pottery and the soft morning light pouring through the skylights. It’s the kind of place that encourages you to slow down, breathe deeper, and feel more grounded. The surrounding area is just as special—full of charm, quiet beauty, and opportunities to explore. Whether you’re looking for rest, inspiration, or simply a change of pace, this spot has it all wrapped into one unforgettable stay. I left with a full heart, and I know a little piece of mine will stay here. I will definitely be back!”

“Alexsondra goes BEYOND from being a superhost. She is attentive to your every need; after my long journey in arriving, she kindly invited me to a delicious home cooked meal. If I ever lacked necessities, such as mosquito spray or sunscreen, she ensured that I was taken care of. Not only is the residence SPARKLING clean, but such attentive care was given to its fine details. Her artistic hand permeates along the aesthetics of the room and home. The peaceful, loving ambiance, artistic feel, and serene nature evokes the artist within—what more could you ask for! The bed was incredibly comfortable and the room’s roof windows gave way to such peaceful nights and mornings. Alexsondra has such an embracing, warm-hearted personality, she will steer you right with local tips, suggestions, and enriching conversations. The residence is home to a nearby beach, main town, hikes and trails, a lighthouse, and delicious cuisines. It was an AirBnB experience like no other; Alexsondra puts her heart and care into your stays. I left feeling not like a guest but like a friend."

"My stay at the Artist’s Haven was exactly what I needed. Alex curates a calm, beautiful, welcoming space. The loft space is lovely, with thoughtful touches like a yoga mat and cozy chairs, as well as a desk and a table to eat at. I enjoyed eating my breakfast and drinking tea while sitting on the bench facing the colorful garden. The soaking tub is incredible. Alex had excellent local recommendations and was excited about all the plans I shared. Pemaquid Beach should not be missed! I will treasure my time talking with Alex about everything under the sun. She is a kindred spirit and a hilarious storyteller. I feel rejuvenated and cared for!"
