Holidays in Caribou

Our little group, which consisted of my father, my mother, my fiancé and myself, all had a delightful day in Caribou thanks to James and Ellen. The house was spacious enough to host my daughter and her family for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day that we were there. James and Ellen were very responsive and were able to accommodate our late check out due to a change in flight times. We have definitely bookmarked this property for our next visit to Caribou.

We really enjoyed the stay, we mainly used the rental for a place to sleep and have breakfast, it was very nice, the only suggestion would be to place a larger bed in the master bedroom.

Large house, amazing hosts!

When booking, I didn’t realize the size of this house, and boy was I shocked! The entire stay was completed when I accidentally booked the wrong weekend and didn’t realize until I was almost there, Ellen and James accommodated me, and managed to make it work, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Overall, it was very peaceful, and I will be booking again if I visit Maine

Finding Fall

The house was a home! I felt comfortable immediately! All the supplies I needed were there! Didn’t expect that! It was clean and charming and perfect for the two of us. A perfect location for us to seek a real fall! Loved the cover blankets left out for us! I would stay again in a heartbeat!Thanks!!!

Homey in town caribou home

House reminded me of my grandparents house also in maine. Very clean, appliances were updated. Touches of old hardwood floors and antique bureaus and night stands. My mom has the same China closet in her pantry that was located in the living room. Walking distance to Hannaford and Dunkin’. Would definitely stay here again. Perfect location if you are visiting caribou.
