About the host

Hosted by Larry Goldsmith

Host profile image
I am originally from northern New Jersey, though I did live in New Zealand for over five years, but have resided in Skowhegan Maine for now thirty three years now. In the twelve plus years I have opened my cabin to the public, there have been over a thousand visitors and hundreds of wonderfully positive reviews, from guest from all around the world.

Why they chose this property

I have always felt lucky to live where I do, not only because of the wildlife which abounds, or the countryside view from the backyard, but to have all this, but at the same time be only a few short minutes from town is truly having the best of both possible worlds.

What makes this property unique

This is a sprawling property, in a very quiet neighborhood, where children and dogs can play, parents and relax and have their own space, whether its sitting on one of the rocking chairs on the porch, enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee on the couch, while using the high speed fiber optic network, or sitting by a campfire, beneath a star filled sky at night.
