About this property

This private, animal-free* home, managed by Nifty Bug Rentals, has been refurbished with a brand new kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. Originally ‘The Priest House’, parts of the home date close to 100 years. Guests feel the pulse of a New England community while maintaining a feeling of coziness and privacy. Conveniently located near Tilton's Market, Post Office, High School and more. 4 to 5 Guests can comfortably share this rental with 2 bedrooms and a third optional bedroom. Wifi and Apple TV included. Please note that the AC is not central air conditioning. There is a new air conditioner in the upstairs master bedroom and the loft and living room have ceiling fans. To keep our cleaning fee low on our full cottage, we charge an additional daily fee of $10 per person per stay for more than 2 guests. Infants staying with a couple in the master bedroom are not included as additional guests. (*Due to severe allergies, our listing is an animal-free zone. We are unable to safely host guests who travel with pets or service animals. Thank you for your understanding.)

Cute little place, nice Maine vacation

Our stay at this property was excellent, start to finish. Priced right for the location and the amenities, the place was everything as described. Comfortable bedding, flexible sleeping arrangements (3 bedrooms) and well equipped. Communication with the manager/owner was easy and quick. Highly recommend this property for a no frills experience. About an hour drive to Sunday River resort where we skied.

Nephew's wedding

We came in for a wedding. So much better than staying in a hotel. Plenty of room for everyone to get ready, have time to theirselves etc. There was an iron and board so we all looked our best. Just really enjoyed it.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Menes

I work as a touring artist and media producer and love to travel and escape into nature. My partner, Andrea, who is originally from Prague, Czech Republic, is a woman of many talents who loves nature and the arts. We make our home together here in rural Maine. We enjoy Airbnb hosting and welcome guests from all around the world. When we travel, we prefer to stay away from the touristy places and hang out with the locals, discovering hidden places and having authentic experiences. We live nearby our Village House in case there are any issues that come up with our rentals.

Why they chose this property

This is a great property for folks who are visiting family or friends in the area, planning outdoor activities, attending weddings or events, or who are in the area for work assignments. The internet is fast for doing work on line and everything is convenient being right in the village. Our neighbors are quiet and respectful.

What makes this property unique

The Nifty Village House is an authentic homestay. It's not a commercial rental property. It feels like a real home because it has many handcrafted features and the furnishings that are family treasures that go back several decades.
