Another great visit to Maine
Booked this cozy home in New Vineyard because it was close to the areas we wanted to visit. Perfect stay. Great communication with hosts, clear instructions. Home was spotless, comfortable, warm and well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy a cup of coffee & tea and cook meals. Also enjoyed the fire pit and making smores! Because this house sits a little higher than the others nearby, it gives a great view to all the beautiful fall foliage all around. Another bonus is it is very close to Porter Lake and Farmington. We would definitely book this home again. The hosts are very kind and welcoming.

Beautiful and comfortable house
We loved our two nights here. The bed linens (particularly upstairs) were very comfortable and the kitchen was convenient with everything you need. The bathroom was nice and the shower strong. We didn’t meet the owners but texted with them and they were very accommodating about what we needed to do at checkout (not much). We recommend this house!

Great Location for UMaine Farmington Graduation
Cathy and Chip are wonderful hosts! Liz is a terrific communicator. We rented the VRBO while we enjoyed our daughter's graduation from UMaine Farmington. The house is cozy, neat, well laid out and perfect for our stay. Thanks for making the weekend memory-filled!

Wonderful adventure!
We went to New Vinyard to view the total eclipse. Chip and Kathy, our hosts were wonderful and warm. The house was perfect for the four of us. We rode around to other towns in the area, up the mountain, and across a famed wire bridge that bounces when you put on the brakes. Our nephew and three others came up to sit outside with us to view the eclipse. We all had an amazing time. The little village store was great for pizza and incidentals. By being in New Vinyard, we avoided the huge traffic jams after the eclipse.

Great place in New Vineyard
We enjoyed our stay at Chip and Kathy‘s home in New Vineyard. The house was nicely furnished, clean, well organized, and had everything we needed. Chip and Kathy’s hospitality was above and beyond! We really enjoyed the beach at Porter lake, but we also commuted to Belgrade Lakes, Rangeley Lake, Flagstaff Lake and even the southern coast of Maine. If you’re in the area, give this place a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Thank you, Chip and Kathy!

So much to see, so little time!
We had a lovely time in New Vineyard, the location although remote was close to so many amazing places to see.... some of our favorites were Rangeley, Quill Hill & Moxie Falls. New Vineyard was quiet with no real business' but within 20 to 30 minutes civilization and great restaurants surrounded us. We loved the place clean quiet and lots of room to work. Our days were uninterrupted for work and late afternoon/evenings for new adventures. We will definitely be visiting again! Thank you Kathy, Chip & Liz

Mountains are Magic
We had so much fun in New Vineyard while staying at this house! We came to cross country ski at Maine Huts and Trails and also the Sugarloaf Outdoor Center trails. Both were so much fun! The hosts were so hospitable! They were actually so nice and easy-going, it was like we were already friends lol. They said when we come back, will all have to hike together. There is an amazing view at the top of a mountain called Jacob’s Look that you can walk to from the house. We also took the one child with us sledding on a huge hill down the road from the house. It’s right across from Poland Spring. You fly! I can’t say enough good things about the house, the hosts, and the location. It’s magic! Go!

We had a nice stay. The layout if the house is nice with a long front room with kithen at one end and dining towards the other. It keeps people together. I like having a "TV" room off the main area to keep it separate. Chip and Kathy were welcoming hosts and kept the fire going in the woidstove.

Clean, cozy and comfortable
We stayed here for two nights while visiting family and attending a wedding reception nearby. The house was clean and cozy and the owners welcoming. We didn't get to take full advantage of our stay since most of the time was spent with family though it was a comfortable place to relax in after a long busy day.

Best hosts ever
The house was spotless clean with some new renovations. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need. I used it as a home base to ski mostly at Sugarloaf (about 35 minutes away). Chip and Kathy were the best hosts I have ever dealt with. Every day Chip would start a fire in the basement wood stove so it was nice and toasty when I returned. One early evening we had a wind storm and a resulting power outage. Within minutes, Chip and Kathy delivered candles, flashlight, camp stove, percolator coffee pot and an ice chest ! That’s what I call great hosts ! ! The only downside to the property (which they are working on) is there is no Regular TV, just dvd watching. If that’s important to you, you might want to check into that status. I will stay here again !
