What guests think

Travelers describe Katahdin Woods & Waters House - close to trails! as a comfortable, spacious base with consistently clean interiors, a well-stocked kitchen, and attentive hosts, conveniently positioned for Baxter State Park and Millinocket’s amenities, with smooth, helpful communication throughout.

Many also appreciate direct access to nearby ITS snowmobile trails and the property's suitability as a base for hiking, rafting, races, and other regional adventures. The home works well for groups, offering plenty of beds and showers and a lived-in, homey feel rather than a hotel vibe. Isolated cautions include many stairs that may challenge a senior, musty odors reported in the upstairs suite or basement, and scented detergents bothering one sensitive guest. Expect a clean, well-equipped home base with personable support for outdoor-focused stays.

We came for a family wedding in November, so we didn’t get much of a chance to take in all Millinocket has to offer, but loved that guidebooks and trail maps were provided. My husband, father-in-law and two small kids and I were very comfortable in the cozy and clean home. Cooking was easy with everything on-site. Everyone was warm and slept well! Cali made checking in and out a breeze. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again when we visit.

My partner and I stayed here while in town to hike Katahdin. The house was incredibly clean, thoughtfully stocked, spacious, and well-labeled. We were super comfortable and the distance to Baxter State Park is very reasonable (40 min to the southern gate). Would certainly stay again. Cali was so helpful and responsive. Thanks so much!

it was great. one suggestion to all VRBO owners. Please only use unscented, no dyes laundry detergent. I am allergic to dyes and it was not pleasant to be smelling the sheets with dyes and artificial scents. otherewise THANK YOU

Six of us booked this house for two nights, climbing Mount Katahdin the morning after our first night. The house was great, plenty of beds and showers, and close to the park. The dishwasher was key for our larger group and fueling up. The only caution I have is if you or someone in your party is sensitive to mold or musty smells, you may want to avoid the upstairs suite and the basement.

Recently spent 4 nights at this rental and had a wonderful time! The house is very close to ITS trails so no need to trailer anywhere, could ride directly from residence. House was very clean and comfortable. Access to the garage to house our sleds at night and the basement room to keep all our gear were perfect!!Thank you for a great stay!

This venue supported our first family reunion since 1992 and it was so good to us. Some spent the night very well accommodated. Some day tripped. Staff Molly, Callie and Shannon were very helpful, easily allowing me to change one venue for this larger one. Clean, well appointed with everything we needed and more.
