Large home near everything!
Centrally located in northern Aroostook County, in Caribou, Maine. Fully equipped to accommodate your larger group. Family reunion? School reunion? We can provide comfortable lodging, plenty of parking, and a large yard! A gas grill can be provided upon request. All you need to bring is food!
This home is part of our Fellowship Farm network and sports a comfortable, spacious, well lit, fully equipped kitchen / dining room area; 4 bedrooms, all upstairs (if you don't do well with stairs, be aware the stairway to the second floor is very steep); a full bath upstairs, with a washer & dryer; a 3/4 bath downstairs (toilet, sink, shower only); walk-through closet / dressing room / storage area between living room & bathroom downstairs; and plenty of parking.
(We have additional lodging options, too - a very quiet country home on 20 acres in New Sweden that includes a self-contained 2-bedroom apartment on the second floor of our family home, as well as 3 individual first- and second-floor rooms with a shared bathroom; a 3-bedroom home and a 2-bedroom home in Caribou; and a 2-bedroom home in Woodland. Both 2-bedroom homes have access to snowmobile/ATV trails. Check out those listings too!)
Our basic rates at this location are based on 1-4 people for a minimum of 2 nights. Additional costs will be added for additional people. ***NOTE: We offer discounts for longer-term stays at all locations. Make an inquiry and we can work out those details together.***
