Centrally located charming well-kept home

The house and property were well kept. It was peaceful and we could hear the sounds of nature and even had a few deer in the backyard. The hosts were great to deal with and we hope to stay there again. Great place!

A great place to unwind

This was a great out of the way place to unwind. You definitely don't have to worry about noise from the neighbors. If you want to enjoy the sounds of nature while being 15-20 minutes from the local market, this is your place. And being only an hour away from activities (kayaking, the beach, breweries, etc) was just fine for us.

Quirky Cabin in the Woods

Stairs at each level so traveling companion was challenged. House had some unusual features… I would say not our best VRBO experience but certainly not the worst. Price was right and we had to book rather last minute. Hosts were helpful!

Peaceful

“Charlotte” was so warm and welcoming. And refreshing cool inside. We enjoyed our time together celebrating our 22nd anniversary. Lots of cute towns and restaurants near by. We also enjoyed sitting in the back area watching the wildlife. If we had longer we would have explored more of the hikes and sights near by. Nice and clean ,well stocked and exactly what we expected .Communication was easy and very friendly. I hope to stay again and will recommend. Thank you!

Lovely place - bring your own drinking water

Pros: Very nice, secluded house. We especially loved the back patio facing the woods. Well-stocked kitchen and dining area. Clean Friendly communication from hosts. Cons: The tap water was unpleasant. Mattress in master sagged in the middle. I think it's worn out.

Great place and stay

Our family spent 4 nights in this property over February break. We really enjoyed the stay. The house is very open with plenty of room to spread out. It’s clear that the owner really cares about the property and the guests that stay there. I really enjoyed flipping through a folder with wonderful recipes, I even took pictures of many recipes and look forward to trying them at home. We went skiing in Attitash on 3 of the days that we were there. As advertised, the drive was 40 minutes through mostly backroads. Our family of 4 also enjoyed watching movies on Netflix available on the tv in the living room. Overall, great stay with no complaints.

We loved our stay here! It was so nice and peaceful! Our toddlers loved the little bedroom upstairs, they were “babysitting” the dolls a lot of the time. Very nice stay and we hope to return next year

Great weekend away

Traveled with my wife and child in December and the house was awesome for us. Clean, big, and welcoming. We didn’t see any wildlife but we certainly had the quiet and relaxation of the Maine woods. Noreen and Tom were excellent from start to finish. Thinking of coming back up in the spring or summer to enjoy the area during the nice weather. Highly recommend !

About the host

Hosted by Noreen Thompsen

Host profile image
Grew up near the Utah (him) and NH (her) mountains and missed them when we moved to Cape Cod. Needed to have a little getaway near the Swift River and ('Kank') and King Pine where our kids learned to ski & skate and we got back into it.

Why they chose this property

Loved the quiet rural feel of this house where you can hear deer and wild turkeys walking through the woods at night NO TRAFFIC noise.

The birds also love our bird feeders and hang out on the front deck and back patio.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the pine walls and beams and when the builder we hired to add the pine sunroom suggested we do a pine ceiling in there too we thought he was brilliant! Walking in 2 + acres the woods behind the house also gives a great dose of nature.
