Plenty of cookware, for the nights/mornings you want to cook. We would definitely stay here again. Oh and the drive up to the home isn't as bad as I thought, just a little rough. Just take it easy! Location for our vacay was PERFECT! Went to the wsterfalls, so very beautiful. Visited Cheerokee, was a little disappointed bc the village was closed, only open in the summer. Plenty of shops! Just not what I expected. Our last day we went to The Tunnel To Nowhere, that was pretty cool. And I would definitely recommend checking out Sheffield Mining.

Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amanda S., Hampden, Maine USA 28 May 2021 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great spot, difficult owners The house is lovely and in a a great location. We were able to enjoy solitude and adventure. We worked and schooled from the location and the internet was adequate, though sometimes spotty. We did lose power several times during our stay. While the owners were responsive and courteous initially, they were became accusatory and angry. After check out, they accused us of not declaring our dogs (that we’re clearly discussed in our initial conversations in writing). They said there was dog hair in the hot tub and accused us of putting the dogs in the hot tub, which we surely did not. There was a broken bin in the fridge when we arrived and they accused (did not ask) us of breaking it. Regardless, we said because we did not declare it when we arrived, we said we would pay for it. The bar to the hot tub holder broke when we placed the cover into the holder. It was clear there was some previous damage to the holder given the easy break. Also, regardless, we offered to pay for it but they said they would need to buy an entirely new cover now. The list can go on. We are generally pretty laid back people and would just assume pay for a small item rather than fight about it. We’ve stayed at many short term rentals in the past and only received 5 stars. We were taken aback and disappointed in how the owners approached us. I might suggest if you are considering renting this house and have pets, to find a different location as I do not see the expectations for renting to pets aligning with the reality of hosting pets. Overall, the area was lovely and we had a fantastic month. The sour note the rental ended on was unfortunate. ##### Amanda S.

Tucked away high in the mountains, very comfortable beds, well furnished and supplied, and still close to excellent hiking of all levels. We enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub, cooked on the grill and just had a very relaxing 3 days. Thanks to our excellent hosts for providing guidance throughout the experience!! ##### Linda F.
