Perfect place for a family stay near the Colby College campus. Our only regret is that we didn’t find it for our stays earlier in the college experience!

Wedding in Maine

Property was very clean and perfect for all of the family to stay for a wedding held in China, ME. Downtown was close to the property with plenty of places to have dinner. The neighborhood was very quiet. Overall a great place to stay.

Home away from home

We traveled from Alaska to ME with a large group. This home was large and had just about all the amenities we needed at an affordable price. The property was beautiful and the process was easy.

We were in town for a family wedding and had multiple families staying with us. The house was clean and fit all our needs. The large dining area, was great to gather for breakfast and games at the end of the day. It took a bit of getting used to taking off shoes at the garage entrance, but I can understand why, the beautiful hardwood floors were worth the extra steps and we were thankful for the sandles provided.
