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!

(Additional options include 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. We also have a 4-bedroom home and a 2-bedroom home in Caribou, and a 2-bedroom home in Woodland. Check out those listings too!)

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

This 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 all 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.

Caribou, home again
My 2sisters and I had a wonderful stay in Caribou partly due to staying at this VRBO. The location allowed us to walk all over town on familiar and unfamiliar streets. Daily trips to Hannafords and of course to Holton Farms for that ice cream sundae. The weather was typical for August in the County, cold and rainy, hot and sunny! If we had more sunny weather, I would have missed having access to the outside, like a deck or sitting area. It is a pretty busy traffic area being near the entrance to route one. Having one bathroom and no dishwasher was an adjustment we easily made! We quickly made it our home. The owners were nice and attentive but the place was well stocked and explanatory so found little reason to contact them! Highly recommend it.

Made reservation on line. Received instructions for access to entry and found a great property! We had all the amenities we needed and then some. The property features a large kitchen, dining area, living / TV room, large screen TV, bath room with shower, washer and dryer and some extra toiletries.

Served as a good base for our business tasks in Presque isle and fort Fairfield. Surprised to find the largest bed was a double. Wi-Fi was a plus. If you want to be able to see local/national news in the evening, bring your own streaming stick owners communicative and responsive.

Large house, amazing hosts!
When booking, I didn’t realize the size of this house, and boy was I shocked! The entire stay was completed when I accidentally booked the wrong weekend and didn’t realize until I was almost there, Ellen and James accommodated me, and managed to make it work, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Overall, it was very peaceful, and I will be booking again if I visit Maine

Homey in town caribou home
House reminded me of my grandparents house also in maine. Very clean, appliances were updated. Touches of old hardwood floors and antique bureaus and night stands. My mom has the same China closet in her pantry that was located in the living room. Walking distance to Hannaford and Dunkin’. Would definitely stay here again. Perfect location if you are visiting caribou.

The winter storm
We stayed about 5 days and we had everything we needed at the house. Ms Ellen and her Husband were always ready to answer any questions we needed. The house was clean and the direction were spelled out on how to use everything. A big storm blew in and they had a plow come thru and take care of the driveway. Great people run this house and we would love to stay there again. The house is located next to the highway so travel to and from it is very easy. 5 stars

Comfortable, In Town 3BR Home
I enjoyed staying at this property in Caribou for several days! The house is comfortable, has a well equipped kitchen and is located on a residential street in the town of Caribou. I only used the downstairs bedroom and it was comfortable and well appointed. Communication was very good with the hosts and I appreciated the maps and area guides that they provided. I look forward to staying here again the next time I make it up to Aroostook County!
