What an awesome farm! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Kathleen is awesome. It was a 10- minute drive to Colby College- our destination for a football game! Our team won so that was really fun!! The house is very clean and very comfortable! Kathleen has thought of everything and she is delightful!

The farmhouse was clean and charming. The kitchen was well-stocked. Kathleen was an excellent communicator. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable— including making a bonfire for smores! We loved getting to be with her sweet kitties and amazing donkeys, mule, and horse.

Enjoyable Retreat

Enjoyed a 2 night stay at this quiet country retreat. Our host was friendly and took time to visit. The kitchen was well stocked and it's a charming historic structure, equipped with modern conveniences. What more could you want!

A great 1st exerience with Vrbo

The property we rented was as advertised - 3 bedrooms and a 10-minute drive from Colby College, where we attended our college reunion. The house was older but had modern appliances, 2 bathrooms, a washer and dryer. The home is on a farm with horses and a mule on the premises, which we enjoyed. The owner lives in an addition attached to the home. She was most engaging and attentive to our questions and needs. The only drawback for senior citizens like us is that the stairs going up to the 2nd-floor bedrooms are steep, making it somewhat difficult to carry our luggage upstairs.Overall, a very positive experience for us.

Great Farmhouse!

Six of us stayed to celebrate my son’s graduation from Thomas College. It was perfect! The property has a beautiful Balance of rustic farmhouse and modern conveniences. Our host was wonderful, the check in was easy, the house was immaculate, and the beds were comfy. I would stay here again!
