About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

In the heart of Caribou & northern Aroostook County! Medical travelers welcome!

Our 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom house is part of our Fellowship Farm network and is conveniently located in the heart of Aroostook County, in Caribou, Maine. It is fully appointed - all you have to bring is food!

(As a secondary option, we also have 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. Check out that listing too!)

***NOTE: We offer discounts for long-term stays at both locations. Make an inquiry and we can work out those details together.***

Our Caribou home is within walking distance of schools, banks, grocery stores, restaurants, small-town shopping centers, churches, the recreation center and playground, movie theater, post office, and public safety center.

We are about 1-1/2 miles from Cary Medical Center and an easy 14 miles from Northern Light A.R. Gould Hospital in Presque Isle. We welcome traveling medical personnel without pets. ***Again please note: we offer discounts for long-term stays but these need to be arranged outside of VRBO. Make an inquiry to get the process started!***

This is an allergen-free home (no pets, no smoking).

We also welcome snowmobilers and other winter enthusiasts, as well as summer vacationers, at both locations.

We are an easy drive to great golfing, fishing, hiking, camping, canoeing/kayaking, and white water rafting, to name a few activities. We are also near skiing/Nordic centers and the snowmobile trail system.

Summer fairs and festivals are frequent happenings in the area, including the Northern Maine Fair, Crown of Maine Hot Air Balloon Festival, and New Sweden's annual Midsommar Festival.

We are less than an hour's drive to the St. John River Valley and New Brunswick, Canada.

We stayed in the home for a couple nights while visiting family in the area. Had a wonderful time - house was clean and perfect location, safe and quiet area. Some traffic noise as next to major road, but enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

Finding Fall
The house was a home! I felt comfortable immediately! All the supplies I needed were there! Didn’t expect that! It was clean and charming and perfect for the two of us. A perfect location for us to seek a real fall! Loved the cover blankets left out for us! I would stay again in a heartbeat!Thanks!!!
