Lilly Brook Farm / by Cynthia Catera

While in Maine, we decided to get some fresh farm air.....which could be loosely put when lodging next to animals:) But as my first experience with Airbnb, I have to say, I'm sold. With the comfort of home and splash of culture, I have to say I've never spent a weekend on a farm! (even though I am from the Midwest!) We stayed at Lilly Brook Farm in Hollis Center, which is a quick 30 from downtown Portland. Nina, who runs the farm uses this as therapeutic and mental health improvement, which is a great & informal way to give back to the community with your lodgings. The mornings were quite, in which I was able to catch up on some much needed reading, which is always my struggle, especially when in the city. With a cup of tea and my book, I spent the mornings watch the horses and sheep graze in the pastures:)
