About this property
Classy AF Home Steps from Colby and Trails
THE BOOKING CALENDAR OPENS ONE YEAR IN ADVANCE, INCLUDING GRADUATION WEEKEND. Pet fees are 50$ PER animal. 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.

Perfect house for a family visit with our Colby student. This is our second stay. Perfect place for our family. Clean, cute and comfortable. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed our weekend stay at the Classy Home steps from Colby and Trails. The home was tastefully decorated, colorful, and spacious. We enjoyed the short walk to Colby College, taking a stroll through the campus. The beds were very comfortable. Arthur is a great host, promptly answering questions we had. A perfect place to stay!
Stayed here with my 83 yo parents and two of my siblings for a memorial service for my dear Aunt. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and thoroughly enjoyed the small, sweet details of the entire place. It’s obvious a lot of love and care went into the decor. So comfortable. Would most definitely love to stay again for another trip to my parents hometown!
The property was as advertised, and we enjoyed all of the wonderful little extras that were provided. We were less than a mile from Colby College which is where we needed to go. My only suggestion would be to add a picnic table and some outdoor seating in the beautiful backyard. We were very happy there and would definitely rent this property again. Oooh, what a bathroom shower!!
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.
Arthur's home was the perfect spot for us to visit our son at Colby- the house has everything you'd need to make dinner at home and is very comfortable. Loved being so close to Quarry Trails and so much nearby to enjoy in Waterville. Highly recommend and hope to come back soon for another extended weekend!
The house was great! It had everything we needed for a great weekend away. The favorite part of the house was the bathroom! Heated floors and the shower was amazing. Very homey and comfortable. Would recommend staying here.
We had a wonderful stay at a wonderful home. The owners made us feel at home and took care of all of our needs. Their home is very nice and especially convenient to Colby College. Will definitely be back and stay again.
We came to Maine to visit family nearby. The owners answered our questions thoroughly and promptly, and even provided pictures. We appreciate the opportunity to bring 3 large dogs, as it is often difficult to find a truly dog friendly rental.
