Great place even in super cold temps!

We came up to ski and found that even when we couldn’t get the mountain we could have a great vacation at this house! We enjoyed sledding on the property, making meals in the great kitchen and the kids loved the game room!

Beautiful home & location!

The property owner was fabulous. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. We were coming to snowmobile and the trail is right across the street from the driveway. House was perfect! Tons of space. The beds were very comfortable. The views of the mountains and lake were gorgeous. Highly recommend. We will be back.

Wedding weekend in Rangeley

We had a fantastic weekend reconnecting with old friends and enjoying the area. The property and house were perfect for our needs. The kitchen is well equipped and easy for cooking. Beds were comfortable and living room cozy. The back deck and large lawn were great for hanging outside. Kids had a blast playing games and watching the stars. We would love to stay again in the winter with our snowmobiles.

Just what our Family needed.

I wanted to take the time to thank you for everything. Thank you for your service, thank you for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home and most of all thank you for what you do for other's who have served/serving our country. Your home and our vacation was the perfect send off for our son getting ready for boot camp. It was very emotional on last night for my wife knowing her oldest was starting his own life soon in the Navy but staying at your home and her seeing everything you do for service members helped her realize she has nothing to worry about. Your home is fantastic and we fell in love with the Town of Rangeley so I'm sure we'll be back for another vacation in future.

great house, beautiful location!

Very well equipped home with brand new kitchen and plenty of room to spread out. Lots of games, many still in the packaging. 3 large living spaces with comfy furniture. A great spot for families! Beautiful view of Rangeley lake and the yard was great for sledding! 20 min to Saddleback Mtn., where our group went skiing. Robert was a very responsive host. We'd definitely stay again if we have the chance!

Family Snowmobile Trip

I was interested in this property because of the owners support of veterans. We plan a trip with my wife’s family to northern Maine to snowmobile every year and we have navy, marines, and guard in our group, so this was a great way to give back to other veterans. We’ve stayed all over Rangeley and this Rangeley plantation home exceeded our expectations. Spacious and inviting with amazing views from just about every toom in the house! There’s three living spaces all equipped with flatscreen TVs and a abundance of board games and activities. You could sleep 20 people in this place comfortably, so for our group of 7 it was a lot more then we needed, but we loved it. We made a point to hang out in every living room and enjoyed all the spaces in the home. Large open fully stocked kitchen with new appliances, stone counters, and nice finishes made it a really nice place for everyone to hang out while preparing meals. We prepared all of our meals in the kitchen. It was awesome to cook with all 7 of us working together, laughing, having a great time and not stumbling over each other We rented snowmobiles from Dockside Sports Center which is 2 minutes away by car. The owner set us up with two newer sleds and he was very nice; he has been there renting machines in Rangeley for 28 years I think he said. He had helmets, gear, and some good stories, it was perfect. The snowmobile trail that goes from the rental shop back to the house is a 10minute ride by sled Leaving the house by sled is a quick ride down the side of a dirt road directly across from the end of the homes driveway. Then you are on the ITS trail and can ride to the lake for fast access to gas/Rangeley center, or take the trail anywhere. Trail conditions were good-great and we had lunch in Oquossoc At Portage Tap House, the food was good and the service was great. There was 6 in our group and we took it slow, the trip was a couple hours total. This homes location is perfect for new riders, it gives you good destination options that aren’t too far but also aren’t too close. The front yard is a snowmobile playground. I had a lot of fun doing figure eights, and then digging the newbies out of snow trenches they got stuck in! Always a plus when you can ride on the property and let the new riders get comfortable on the machine before going out on the trails. If you’re looking for a place that has it all, this is it. We’re already planning our next stay at this property.

Great Getaway

Our group absolutely loved this house ! Sparkling clean and everything was brand new ! Close to Saddleback mountain and several local restaurants around the lake . This house was in the heart of several snowmobile trails which worked well for our group . Tons of games for the family and kids to play and having three separate sitting areas with TV’s made it easy to have the kids be in one spot and adults in another . Our family will absolutely be booking this house again . 5 stars !
