The house is at the top of a hill on a long 2-track dirt driveway. The house seems to be pretty new. It was very clean when we checked in. I received timely emails/texts assuring I knew what I needed to know, but when I replied to any of those communications I never received a response.
The internet is satellite internet, so if the day is rainy or snowy you may not have internet connection. Also, even on relatively clear days, the internet would still go out periodically. When it worked, the signal is strong enough to stream video.
One thing we found rather was odd, there was no TV on the main floor. There was only one TV in the house and it was in the basement. Either due to the placement of the TV relative to WiFi router, or maybe due to the age of the TV, it really struggled to maintain an internet connection (even when the internet was working well), so watching TV was really hit or miss.
Regarding cellular signal, I have Verizon and we typically had around 3 bars.
The kitchen was very well outfitted with most everything you could want and the appliances were all modern. The game room in the basement was really nice, especially the pool table.
There were a couple of minor mechanical issues during our stay, but for the most part, nothing that was a real problem. I notified the owner of the issues and hopefully they will get fixed quickly. Overall, the house is absolutely gorgeous and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! I would definitely rent this house again.
This property is beautiful, and we can’t wait to book again! The cleanliness was top notch. We ran into a very small issue while at the house and the property manager had it taken care of within 20 minutes. We’re already looking for dates to return. Thanks for a great trip!
This is not a cabin in the woods, it is luxury in the woods. The house is newly built. Cute and simple on the outside. The inside is high end. Beautiful kitchen and master bath is spa-like. Additional bedroom next to full bath on main floor. Two additional bedrooms and half bath in walkout basement. Very large rec room in basement, too. Main floor has large laundry room with dog bath. This home has complete privacy in the woods and a spectacular view off the back deck. Location is minutes from everything in Lewiston. House was exceptionally clean and communication from owner was responsive. Absolutely would (hopefully will) stay here again. Perfect place to relax and recharge.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Was easy to find, clean, and the house was equipped with all our needs for the weekend! Would absolutely stay here again in the future.
