We needed a place central to some section hiking of the AT, some in the party were hiking and others were support team. The house worked out great! Only 1 hour drive to first trailhead (near Sugarloaf Resort) and there is a lot to do in the Carrabasset valley for the non hikers. Enjoyed small hikes, waterfalls, museums, etc around Kingfield, Station, Rangely and Phillips. Next parts were south end of Flagstaff lake and then Caratunk area. Lots to do in those areas as well. House was well organized, lots of dishes, cups, pans and small appliances. Washer/dryer was perfect for laundry in between section hikes. Beds are very comfortable as well. The grocery store Jimmy's had everything we needed and the restaurant Patrick's was very yummy! Also recommended Kennebec River Brewery just 20 minutes north. The host was quick to respond to any questions or needs. Definitely recommend this place!
