What a great home!

Three colleagues and I stayed for nearly a week in Chad and Lea's beautiful Cape Cod-style home, and it was perfect for us. The house is newly renovated and immaculately clean, with beautiful finishes throughout. We all slept like rocks in the wonderfully comfortable beds. The location couldn't be better for visiting the U of M campus, or exploring the region. We'll definitely stay again when our work takes us to Maine!

Fantastic spot!

This was quite literally the perfect place and fantastic hosts for our stay. I don’t want to leave a review because that means other people are going to learn how great this was and it will be harder for me to book next time hahaha!

Great house for a small family gathering

Came here for the UMO graduation. The house was perfect for our needs. Perfect location, large rooms and well kept. The house is deceptive since it looks smaller but it's larger than you expect inside.

Immaculate home

The home is tastefully remodeled, immaculate, and has all the basic necessities. So close to UMaine that it almost felt like we where on campus. Comfortable and spacious interior. Plenty of room, it was just 4 of us so we had 2 extra bedrooms.

Maine Get Away

We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back. I left some placemats for the dining table, whuch was great except the metal chairs. Little hard but serviceable just the same. Lovely home that is deceiving on the outside bigger on the inside and love the set up. Had a fuse blow on our visit and Chad and Lea were very quick to handle it when we messaged. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house, exactly as listed, very clean.

This is a beautiful house. Super clean and very comfortable. Quiet street, plenty of off street parking. Had everything we needed. The house is in a great location, easy to get to/from restaurants and the interstate. The owners were very responsive to emails and calls. They were very respectful of those staying in the house (we had 2 people sleeping days and working nights) and made sure to contact us each week, prior to the cleaning staff entering the house. The kitchen had everything we needed and the owners even stocked the fridge with a few breakfast items. Comfortable furnishings and a very pretty backyard to relax in. We would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to spend anytime in the Orono/Old Town/Bangor area.

Very nice 5 BR house in a great location

We had a very nice 4 night stay at this lovely house in Orono, Maine. We had 3 couples in our group, all in our early 60s. The house met all our needs as it was 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in a 2 story home in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Check-in was easy and the owners promptly responded to all inquiries. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials. Living room was spacious and comfortable. We never turned on the TV but I assume it worked fine. Only suggestion would be more comfortable chairs at the dining room table. The 4 metal chairs and 2 stools were not very comfortable for the 6 of us but it did not detract from our enjoyment of the house. Overall it was a very nice experience.

Beautiful home away from home ...

This place has been completely renovated and it showed! It is located close to shopping and restaurants and the University of Maine. The beautiful back yard was enjoyed one early morning by a wandering deer. It was the perfect gathering place for my family and we would happily stay here again.

Clean and spacious home with great amenities

I was extremely impressed with how clean the home is. Bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room all stocked with the necessities. During our stay the town was doing some work re-paving the roads, but the hosts had warned us in advance and provided the option to cancel outside of the standard policy. It wasn’t too much of a disturbance and we were still able to easily access the home. Overall it a great, comfortable stay. Easy to communicate with the hosts. Would recommend to anyone.

Great Base for Fall Foliage Trip

This home was a great location for exploring Maine. Home is beautifully designed and decorated with new finishes and appliances. We only used two of the beds but they were very comfortable. I was initially concerned about proximity to “Greek Row” at University of Maine but we had absolutely no noise issues. The house is on a very quiet street. If I were back in Bangor I would definitely try to book again!
