This is a very rural town, surrounded by the Western Maine mountains. The views are breathtaking and the town atmosphere is like taking a small step back in time. The town offers numerous outdoor recreational opportunities in all seasons. Hunting, fishing, ice fishing, horseback riding, bicycling, hiking, boating, swimming, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ATV and snowmobiling ... Other outdoor adventures are a short ride a away - three alpine ski resorts, cross country ski trails, mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking, numerous hiking trails, and more. The town of Andover has a few amenities. There is a general stores that has groceries, alcohol and other sundries as well as pizza ovens and a grill, serving meals all day. There is a seasonal ice cream shop, cross country ski store, hardware store, bike shop, herb shop, and masseuse. In the center of town, you can enjoy a picnic on the Town Common, play tennis or basketball, and chase the kids on the two playgrounds. Our library offers a book swap section and their WiFi can be accessed even during off hours. A few of our local farms sell meat, dairy, eggs and produce directly off the farm. There are also several Registered Maine Guides in the Andover area that are available for guiding wildlife viewing, boating excursions, fishing trips, hunting parties, etc. If you need recommendations or are looking for something specific, please ask and we will help find the service or product that you need.

The farmhouse is located on a main road (Route 5) two miles from the center of the town where the store and other community services are located. ATV, snowmobile and horse trails can be accessed from or near the house. Our other properties have direct access to some of the trails and we can arrange for private parking at these locations for your trailers.

Lora

We are a family of six - Lora and Scott with kids ages 15, 10, 7, and 3. We are pretty experienced travelers (as guests and hosts) and love exploring new areas. We want to show our kids the world. The kids are respectful and experienced with pets and domestic animals. We are happy to take care of your pets and livestock (we have pets too and have lived and worked on farms for years). We are happy to explore any locale - urban, suburban or rural. We will always find something interesting to do or learn.
