Girls weekend

Had a lovely time relaxing and connecting. The home was very clean, warm and cozy. Had everything we needed. We lucked out with a beautiful day to hike Moxie Falls and explore the area. Definitely would go back! Thanks for sharing your home!

Winter Wonderland

We had a wonderful time staying along the beautiful Kennebec River. Chris was very punctual with his thoughtful responses to my questions before and during our stay. If you're thinking about visiting in the winter, my only recommendation would be to come with good winter tires or AWD/4WD. The drive is fairly steep and although very well maintained by the plowing contractor, it is tricky when covered in 6". Gorgeous area, we will be back!

A Peaceful Vacay

We decided to go away for Christmas for the first time and I am so happy we chose this adorable home to stay in. The home is out in an area that is not very populated which was so nice. There isn't any Internet which was not an issue for us, although two of us also had no cell service while the other two did. The home is exactly as shown in the pictures which I can say from experience does not always happen lol. I would definitely recommend if you want to just get away from it all.

Cute cozy cabin

Great place for a little get-a-way. Nice private location. No WIFI available so that made it a little inconvenient but overall a nice place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Nielsen

Host profile image
Originally from Upstate New York where I learned to fly fish, I moved to Maine where I found home and my wife. Took up ruffed grouse (i.e. partridge) hunting, when I adopted my hunting dogs. We fell in love with the house we are putting on VRBO, and we want to share our love of the Maine outdoors with our guests. This is our first time hosting, and we hope that we will get some good feedback, as well as some feedback to make the place more appealing. Best of luck fishing across the street at Wyman Lake, or your favorite Maine outdoor fun.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because of its central location - you can get to the Kennebec Valley or up to The Forks or Jackman in a short time. So much to choose from. Considering I used to drive from Southern Maine for a day trip in The Forks, this is a lot easier!

What makes this property unique

We love the privacy that the property affords being surrounded by trees, and we especially love the sun room where we can kick back and relax while enjoying the scenery. In the cooler months, that wood stove kicks out a great amount of heat that keeps the whole place cozy. Get away from it all and be close by to the outdoors.
