Wonderful adventure!

We went to New Vinyard to view the total eclipse. Chip and Kathy, our hosts were wonderful and warm. The house was perfect for the four of us. We rode around to other towns in the area, up the mountain, and across a famed wire bridge that bounces when you put on the brakes. Our nephew and three others came up to sit outside with us to view the eclipse. We all had an amazing time. The little village store was great for pizza and incidentals. By being in New Vinyard, we avoided the huge traffic jams after the eclipse.

About the host

Hosted by Chip, Kathy, & Liz P

I grew up in the small town of New Vineyard Maine and continue to live in the area with my husband Chip. I am a finish carpenter and love working on a variety of projects. Chip and I work mostly together which is a joy to both of us. I enjoy hosting friends and family at our home and near by cabin. We are really excited about opening up my Grandmother's former home and pray that it will be a blessing to all who stay here! We like to be as disconnected as possible to the craziness of the world around us and do not feel the need to have a computer or email address; so we have asked our friend Liz P to host this property for us online and take care of the technology side of things. Chip & I will be available by phone and in person while our guests are at this property to help you with any needs or questions you may have. We look forward to getting to know you through our guest book or in person and hope that you enjoy this peaceful, cozy home! - Kathy

I also have grown up in Maine and not far from New Vineyard. I have been working part-time in real estate for 5 years. I also manage a few rental properties for some out of state, mutual friends. I was excited when Chip and Kathy asked me to manage the technology side of their Vrbo property! As a full-time wife/secretary and mother I enjoy this variety of small part-time jobs that allow me to provide a little extra income for our family as well as the time to take care of my family. My husband is also a carpenter and has worked with Chip and Kathy on projects throughout the years. As their long-time friends we can attest to their warm hospitality! You will enjoy your stay here and the opportunity to unplug and unwind! - Liz P
