It was great for the 2 grandmas who helped me with college check in.

The home was comfortable and nice. It had pretty much everything we needed. We especially liked that there wasn’t carpet everywhere. The field out back was pleasant, it would be amazing if there was an exit or access through the back of the house to that area, but no biggie. A couple of short falls: 1. A more structured plan for arrival would be helpful, such as a key code entry, or a hidden key as we were coming clear from the west coast by train to NYC and rental car and trying to time a family visit, but not knowing exactly how we would access the home until just a couple of hours prior. The property owner was flexible and told us a couple hours prior that he would leave the door unlocked for us so it worked out fine in the end. 2. Learning just prior to our arrival that a relative was living in the basement was a surprise. Some people may choose not to stay there based on this, but we didn’t have that information. It ended up being fine, we never actually saw the relative who lives in the basement, but you’re still always kind of wondering. In our minds we were thinking that this is the stuff horror movies are made of. 3 The fuse that operates electricity in the bathroom blew and we were easily able to reach the owner. He couldn’t get there until morning, which was fine since it was evening and we didn’t really need it. We could have flipped the breaker on our own, but it was in the basement where we could not access it.

It was a nice quiet location with fenced in yard for kids or dogs. Very comfortable beds and furniture. Ample supplies in kitchen and bathroom. Very nice hosts just a call away if need anything. Was a very nice place to stay!

Don is very nice, and incredibly understanding when I needed to make any changes. Thank you!

Very nice place clean and the owners are really friendly and nice they have everything you need if you forgot something that is there dog friendly nothing else better

Don was a pleasure to work with. He went out of his way to make our stay very enjoyable. The home was in great condition and had ALL of the necessary amenities with quite a few extras. The location is perfect for access to the lake as well as local needs and attractions. We were visiting with family and had room for many to visit at one time. The grill and jukebox were a tremendous bonus. We will definitely be back!

The place is very homey. The owners were very generous with the supplies. Checking in and out were easy. The owner Don was very responsive to our calls and texts. The washer and dryer are much appreciated for my family of 5. We would definitely reserve the place again if we travel there in the future.

This property worked perfectly for us to get family together but they all could go home. Not sure we'd really vacation there but for holidays, etc. it's great for us.

Don and Gail are outstanding hosts, and genuinely nice people. The house was exactly as listed and in a great location. The beds were comfy, the huge bathroom was great and the jukebox was a nice, quirky touch. Our stay coincided with the December Blizzard of '22, and Don and Gail were gracious enough to let us extend our stay so we didn't have to travel during the storm. We hope their home becomes our go to Maine home away from home.

We absolutely loved our time here! The pups enjoyed it as well. The owners thought of everything possible. I have never felt so welcomed and comfortable at a rental before this one. We will be returning in the future, there is no doubt in my mind!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this location. It’s centrally located and is comfortable.

My experience was very pleasant. The place was very pet friendly and provided many things for my dog to include toys and even shampoo for her. The fenced in yard was great for her to stretch her legs. Overall it was a great stay and would recommend.

Very responsive to our needs. Nice to have a fenced yard for our dogs. Was furnished with everything you needed. Close to everything.

Nicely decorated, peaceful, good location, well equipped.

Good location, thoughtful hosts, and the softest rug ever made. After a long road trip, it was the perfect place to spread out and relax

Inside was fine especially large bath room Outside has begun some renovation and will be nice when complete Overall was very good accommodations

Thus property was just as described. Owner was very nice. They thought of everything when it came to stocking the place. I would highly recommend this place.

My girls and I were in Maine on vacation. Our time in China was fun and relaxing. Don was very helpful and responsive. There is a notebook of information in the house with everything you need to know about China. We had a lovely time!

Our family of 3 and 2 dogs stayed here for the Augusta Ironman 70.3 for me to race and it was just what we needed! The owners are incredibly friendly and met us with the keys and our dogs loved the fenced in yard. Highly recommend for anyone coming to the area!

The owners are polite & helpful. The home is fully equipped & alot of nice touches.

Pros - Hosts: Owners (Don and Gail) live 20 min away. They are extremely helpful when needed while respecting your privacy the rest of the time. - Location: Close enough to Waterville, Augusta and China Lake yet still in a rural setting. We also took a nice day-trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. - Layout: Ample space in living/dining area for family gathering with bedrooms and breezeway for private/quiet personal space when needed. - Back yard: Large and nicely kept. Fire pit, chairs, picnic table and firewood were all great. - Washer and dryer: They were provided. This was a huge "plus" when staying an extended time. - General: House was clean and well appointed. They even provided a pound of good coffee for the coffee maker as well as K-cups for the Keurig. First aid kit, toiletries, laundry supplies, hair dryer, curling iron .... we're all provided. - TV and wifi: No issues. Cons: None Other (neither good nor bad - just info) - The house is on a secondary Maine road that does carry occasional (but not a lot of) heavy truck traffic. The noise is minimal so this was not an issue to us. The front yard is fenced in so kid safety should not be an issue. - There is a single tenant living in a basement apartment. The apartment has its own entrance well away from the VRBO rental and there is no access or common area between the two. We never heard the tenant and saw him only once as he was leaving. This was a non-issue for us.

Great place, convenient to Family living in Winslow and Graduation ceremony in Augusta. Most people that visited with us commented on the view from the living room as well as the size.
