Property was clean and everything was great. Has a nice deck but due to rain we couldn’t take advantage. Property is a great location and we will consider staying here again next time.

We booked this home a full year in advance for our sons’ swimming and diving NESCAC Championships at Colby College—and we’re so glad we did! The location could not have been more perfect: less than five minutes from the pool, which made early mornings and long competition days incredibly convenient.The house itself was beautifully refurbished, spacious, and spotless. It felt fresh and modern while still being warm and inviting. The reclining armchairs were an absolute favorite—perfect for relaxing after a full day at the meet. With multiple heating options, we stayed cozy and comfortable the entire time. Having TVs in (almost) every room was a great bonus, and the new, modern appliances—especially the washer and dryer—were a lifesaver.When a Nor’easter blizzard unexpectedly extended our stay, the home proved even more accommodating. The highlight? Snow was plowed bright and early each morning, so our cars were never stuck—and we didn’t have to shovel once!Justin was fantastic throughout our stay—responsive, helpful, and proactive with communication. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again for our next visit to Colby and the surrounding area. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

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!

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.
