Kathy United States of America

Awesome breakfast. Loved the old iron collection. Loved the book collection.

Trenton Canada

The breakfast was made to order and FANTASTIC!!! It was not a "this is what you are getting, take it or leave it" situation. We had a choice of time to eat and with or without other guests.

Marlene United States of America

Joan United States of America

Big, comfortable old house wonderfully decorated with... well, old irons! Nicely done. Very comfortable & quiet. Close to food. I had a very early flight and the hostess packed a fabulous breakfast-to-go for me.

Daniel United States of America

Education from the hostess on history and lay of the land. Food was delicious. Would return.

Ben United States of America

Hospitable hostess. She is a great cook. Comfortable beds and beautiful home with many interesting features.

Louisa United States of America

Delightful hosts. Delicious breakfast. Fun discussing history and irons.

Louisa United States of America

Nicely kept, clean & comfortable all around! The hosts are very welcoming & accommodated our vegan breakfast request and it was all very well done. They are great conversationalists but also give you space & make you feel at home. We live in Maine & wanted to experience a new area and because of their hospitality we will definitely be coming back to Caribou and the Inn again!
