About this property

Cozy farmhouse (east side), 2 bedrooms, in the heart of nature's playground

Welcome to 76 East, a renovated 100 year old farmhouse located in the heart of nature's playground. Snowmobile, ATV, hiking and horse trails are within minutes of the house. Skiing at Black Mountain, Sunday River, and Mt. Abram is within a short drive. Fishing, hunting, biking, boating, swimming and more are available within our town. Our cozy rural town will provide you with a quiet "get away from it all" atmosphere. This guesthouse suits all of your basic needs for a comfortable stay.

The farmhouse is a duplex. The other unit in the duplex (West side) is occupied by a small bookkeeping office that operates approximately 8 am- 4 pm, Monday-Friday. The two sides are securely separated. The bookkeeping business is an independent renter and does not manage or operate the Airbnb rental unit. The hosts live within walking distance and are available to help meet your needs and make your stay a comfortable one.

Pets - We welcome your well-trained, house-broken furry companion with pre-approval. We will provide furniture coverings if your pet would like to join you on the comfy seats. We ask that pets are crated whenever the owner is out of the house. Pets should be able to be reasonably quiet most of the time out of respect for the West Side tenants. Due to the shared yard, all animal waste MUST be picked up in the yard. Please know that Andover has a strict leash law and there are several dogs in the neighborhood. All dogs must be leashed outdoors.

Due to insurance requirements, we must know the name, age, and breed (or mix of breeds) in advance. Puppies, kittens, and certain dog breeds are prohibited by our insurance. Each pet must be pre-approved by the host when making the reservation. Once a reservation is made, you will need to send a photo of the pet to the host to keep on record for insurance purposes.

Children - The original construction of the farmhouse is over 100 years old. While much of the house has been updated and renovated over the years, it still retains the charm of some of its classic features. For this reason, this house may not be suitable for the safety of young children and toddlers. Please discuss any children staying in the house prior to making a reservation to ensure a pleasant and safe stay.

Bathrooms - Both bathrooms (one upstairs, one downstairs) are recently renovated and include modern fixtures, including a toilet, sink and large shower (no bathtubs) as well as towels and assorted toiletries. The ground floor bath includes the washer and dryer.

Kitchen - The kitchen includes newer appliances including a standard sized refrigerator/freezer, oven/stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, cookware, cutlery, dinnerware, etc.

Bedrooms - The two bedrooms (one double bed, one king bed) are located on the second floor and include the standard amenities (bedding, dresser, night stand, lamps, closet, etc.) As with some older homes, the overhead light is on a pull chain and there are limited outlets but extension cords are available. The bedroom doors are original and fully close but do not lock.

Living Room - The living room is spacious. It has a standard seating area and is equipped with with a Roku smart tv that is connected to the house WiFi. You may use the the tv by signing in with your own Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Sling and other accounts. You will also be able to access other limited free viewing through the tv. If you do not have an account, many of the streaming services offer a free trial that you could subscribe to during your stay.

Dining Room - The dining area has a table and six chairs and tablecloths, placemats and napkins are provided.

Entertainment - WiFi is provided throughout the house. Our WiFi service is the best that is available for this area (sorry, no Fios here) and is adequate for streaming video as well as standard internet use and a Roku Smart TV is available in the living room. No cable or satellite is available at this time. Assorted games and books are also available in the house for your use.

Parking - There is on-property parking available for guests to occupy about 2-3 spaces. More parking may be available, please ask before booking.

Local Amenities - Andover is a very small town but it does have some services including a general store (with restaurant), gift shop, bakery, hardware store, playgrounds, and more.

PERFECT!
The house was perfect for my wife and I (filled with beautiful antique furniture). It was clean, had everything we needed and was in the perfect location for visiting family in East Andover. We called in the late evening to see about checking in a couple of days early. The house wasn't ready at that time, but Lora was great and was able to get it ready in a very short time. Lora was the perfect host during our stay. I will definitely stay here again and definitely recommend it to everyone!

Quiet Paradise in Western Maine
The farmhouse in Andover was a perfect place to stay while visiting family at a nearby lake. It was meticulous, the owners were easily available if needed. It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and it felt like home away from home. We walked to breakfast a couple mornings to eat at Mill's market were the people were very friendly and welcoming. The convenience of having a bathroom on both the first and second floor was an added bonus. Having a washer and dryer in the downstairs bathroom was wonderful we did not need to pack as much. I loved hearing the nearby church bell ring on the hour.

Lovely house
We stayed here during a ski race at Black Mountain. The quaint town was decorated with holiday lights and the church bells in the distance were no very to hear. The house is spacious and roomy enough for us and two teenagers. Everything was comfortable and warm. We felt welcomed by Lora and wished we could have stayed longer.
