An Authentic Clean & Cozy Maine Homestay

This private, animal-free* home, managed by Nifty Bug Rentals, has been refurbished with a brand new kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. Originally ‘The Priest House’, parts of the home date close to 100 years. Guests feel the pulse of a New England community while maintaining a feeling of coziness and privacy. Conveniently located near Tilton's Market, Post Office and High School. Only 15 minutes from Androscoggin Riverlands State Park, 25 minutes from Bates College in Lewiston and 1 hour from Portland. Ski and snowboard at Black Mountain (45 minutes), Mt Abram (45 minutes), Lost Valley (25 minutes), Pleasant Mountain (52 minutes), Sunday River (60 minutes) or Attitash/Wildcat (1 hour 30 minutes). 4 to 5 Guests can comfortably share this rental with 2 bedrooms and a third optional bedroom. Wifi and Apple TV included. Please note that the AC is not central air conditioning. There is a new air conditioner in the upstairs master bedroom and the loft and living room have ceiling fans. To keep our cleaning fee low on our full cottage, we charge an additional daily fee of $10 per person per stay for more than 2 guests. Infants staying with a couple in the master bedroom are not included as additional guests. (*Due to severe allergies, our listing is an animal-free zone. We are unable to safely host guests who travel with pets or service animals. Thank you for your understanding.)

Excellent, Cozy Home

Me and my two teenagers stayed here for 3 nights and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The home is exactly as advertised, clean, well-stocked and cute as can be. The first night we had a power outage and the wood stove kept us warm (and it was fun and cozy!). Everyone slept extremely well on comfy beds. The shower was perfect and the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals.It was truly a fantastic stay and we will be back soon!

Charmingly Remodeled

We only stayed for one night, but this cottage was all we needed. It’s been thoughtfully remodeled, was very clean, and all the beds were comfy. Our ten-year-old loved the “cuckoo clock room’s” loft doors. If our travels take us this way again, would definitely stay here.

Spacious Maine Getaway

My husband and I stayed at Michaels rental for a wedding weekend in Maine. The location was perfect for the two of us. The space was clean and Michael was very responsive to our questions and prompt to help us get in the property. Would highly recommend for a small family getaway!

Cute little place, nice Maine vacation

Our stay at this property was excellent, start to finish. Priced right for the location and the amenities, the place was everything as described. Comfortable bedding, flexible sleeping arrangements (3 bedrooms) and well equipped. Communication with the manager/owner was easy and quick. Highly recommend this property for a no frills experience. About an hour drive to Sunday River resort where we skied.

Villiage House

The house is very cute, in a good location for peace and quiet. It was kind of boring, and we tried to find the beach or something to do and there really wasn't too much. We wished we had brought some games or something to do. The owners and managers were very nice and super helpful.

A week away

We stayed for a week. It was great. Quiet, cozy and clean. Bed ate comfortable, kitchen had all the necessities, and a few extras too. The perfect place to unwind and just get away from it all. Yet only a short day trip to Portland, Bangor and many other small coastal towns.

Introduction to Maine

The process from beginning to end was smooth and the host was very pleasant and helpful. Everything was labeled in the property and the property itself was cozy and very welcoming. Everything was clean and the area was excellent. I recommend this property to anyone who wants to get to know a little bit about the real Maine, not just Vacationland.

Scrapbooking Trip

My friend and I get together a few tomes a year to scrapbook and the space was great . The home is very clean the beds were very comfortable. The only thing that we were a little disappointed with was we could not get enough hor water for a nice soak in the bath tub.

I loved everything. The only thing I would suggest is putting a sensor light in the driveway. It’s very dark at night being country. It would be easier to back out of the driveway. Definitely will be back.

Nice house lots of Traffic

We lived in a cute nice house that was unfortunately opposite the schoolbus depot and on the ME - 140. There was heavy trafic on the road from 6 am to 9 pm , because it was on the federal highway. Access was quite easy thanks to a numerical code. Apart from the noise from the street, we really iked the house and the surrounding aera.

I'm from the south and I was cold the first night.

The property is nice and well maintained. That said, I was very cold. I realize that energy is expensive, however, entering the house with one heater set to low was inadequate. It was 42 degrees outside when I arrived and I could not appreciate any warmth as I entered the house. Without my heating pad, I would have suffered the first night. It took until the next morning for the house and furnishings to warm adequately. I expected the house to be at least 65 degrees inside on arrival. There's absolutely no way that it was near that level of comfort the first night.

In the area for a wedding, brought motorcycles along...

Property just as described on web site, great for a home-base, no problems (except for bike performance). Master bed on 2nd floor, with bathroom on first - let those kids do the steps in the middle of the night! Needless to say, we used separate beds on the first floor. Otherwise, great accommodations.
