Classy AF Home Steps from Colby and Trails
About this house rental
Located in Waterville, this charming house for $300 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Lovingly renovated three bedroom home across the street from Colby College’s Senior Drive and Campus Trails. My husband’s grandfather built our house in the 40’s, we have done all of the renovations ourselves to create open, inviting spaces with unique touches while maintaining the original footprint. From original hardwood floors, handmade glass tiles and knobs throughout the house to a custom built bathroom with radiant floor heating and a luxurious shower, our home is a labor of love. Kitchen: new refrigerator, dishwasher and gas stove, granite countertops, garbage disposal, breakfast bar, USB outlets, handmade cabinetry, and custom backsplash all provide an enjoyable workspace to entertain. Recycling and Returnable bins are available and labeled. We don’t own a microwave. Feel free to use anything that is around. Dining/Living Room: we removed a wall (the footprint remains with different types of flooring) and love the open floor plan it provides. The TV can turn it on the wall mount to keep you company anywhere downstairs. Please read French door instructions if you use them, they use a different locking system. Bedrooms: our home offers three bedrooms. The master looks out on the front yard with a queen bed and 32”smart tv. The second features a back yard view and a king bed. “The kid’s room” has a back yard view and a queen futon. Bathroom: Radiant floor heating, custom shower, and a Bluetooth speaker for shower singing will give your day a boost. Sunroom/Entryway: this area is a work in progress, we use it for a lot of things depending on the time of year but it functions as a mud room year round. Hall closet: we know it’s weird right now, it’s a work in progress. The toilet is totally functional and provides a .25 bath downstairs if you’d like to use it. Basement: the washer/dryer are located downstairs. We also use this space for personal storage, but laundry facilities are accessible. Outside: feel free to enjoy our large yard with family/friends. We love to garden and when the time is right, our beds provide a delicious, fresh summer meal. The garden is automatically watered in the morning and evening. Please harvest only what you will use and don’t forget all the herbs on the side of the garage! We prefer any flowers be left alone, please don’t cut them. Our home uses well water that runs through a filter and a softener.

Clean and convenient. It had everything we needed. Internet worked well, which was key to get some work done. Two of the three doors didn’t work, so that could be an issue if needing to exit in emergency with one option. Otherwise, very pleased.

We agree with the many comments about this clean, well appointed and comfortable home. We are a three generation family visiting to watch Colby basketball just down the street. We enjoyed having plenty of space to hangout and had everything we could want. The decor is exceptional. We hope to do it again sometime!

This was our first time visiting Maine, and this home was perfect for our family gathering. Our hosts went above and beyond, even bringing a coffee pot to us on Christmas Day when they found out the one we had wasn’t working. The home was warm, with modern amenities mixed with beautiful antiques. Radiant heat in the bathroom floors was perfect. We were very comfortable here and would stay again if the opportunity presents itself.

We had a wonderful stay at this house near Colby College which is only a short walk from campus. The house had a fully equipped kitchen which we utilized. The house has an open living room/dining room and kitchen which allowed for good conversations during meal prep and clean up. The beds were comfortable. We all loved the rain shower. We would love to come back to this property for a future trip.

My husband and I have two boys at Colby. This home is warm and inviting. It is loaded with great amenities affording us to cook dinner for our boys and spend some quality time together. Our boys kept saying "This place is really nice!" We are looking forward to coming back!

We moved our daughter from California to Maine for a job. It was very convenient to be so close to Colby College. The house is just as cute as the photos show—even more so!! We will look to stay here again in the future.

Very convenient - close to college. We really like the separation of the bedrooms upstairs for us early to bed folks. Love the antique items scattered around the house! Thank you so much for allowing us to use your wonderful home during our stay in Waterville/Oakland.

Basics + small touches = great stay
The house is clean, pleasant, has everything we needed for a weekend home while participating in events at the Quarry Rd Trail. It is convenient to Colby, Quarry Rd and Waterville. It's clear that the owners care about the house. Additional small touches included fresh flowers (really!), a stove-top espresso pot (score!), and shower with body sprays.

We had a great stay at this cute house with many unique characteristics. The owners are friendly, attentive and even left fresh flowers for our arrival, a very welcoming touch. Warm and cozy when it is very cold outside. Only one shower (a very nice one, and heated floors in the bathroom), so if staying with multiple people, keep in mind. Recommend this place if you are visiting Colby - super close to campus and very comfy.

Great property for Colby!
This is a great house, everything very updated and nice. The house is close to everything, but especially to Colby...the front door of my daughter's dorm was literally 1 minute away according to my GPS. The hosts were welcoming and friendly, no complaints at all.

Nice, clean and comfortable. Location outstanding for visiting Colby. Unfortunately for us, the water pump broke and we had no water for much of our stay. The owner was responsive and had a plumber out quickly, but we went most of the day with no water.

Communication with Shelby and Arthur could not have been better. The house was spotless and in a great location. We even got to know the neighbor down the street a little - lots of really nice people in the area. I’d stay again without hesitation. Highly recommended.

Beautiful time in Maine. We had enough room for 2 couples. The location is perfect, not in town not too far out. Arthur the neighbor is nice and helped us with a few questions. 1-1 1/2 hour to most attractions.

If you are visiting Colby, there is no better location than this home. We enjoyed our stay at this charming home and Arthur and Shelby are the perfect hosts. I only wished that I found this listing when my daughter was a freshman rather than a senior.
