Fort Fairfield/Presque Isle/Caribou Rentals

[Bydand]

Limestone Country club apartments is old Loring Air Force housing. Some are in real nice shape, others... not so much. Never heard of Prestile Apartments in Caribou, where are they located? Been around Caribou for almost 20 years and somehow missed that one I guess. I do know of one that the outside doesn't look the best, but the owner is fussy about who is in the apartments, and if somebody moves out, he goes through the entire apartment top to bottom. I'll DM you his cell phone, I don't know if he has any open right now, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I know this post is from April, but I have a feeling you all got transferred up there for the same reason we are.

I am curious if there is a hotel where we can stay for probably 2 days when we get to Caribou that allows pets. We will probably be arriving on 8/1 and will need at place at least that night. We have a house to rent but our household goods may or may not be there when we get there. We have 3 dogs so that's why I am hunting around for a motel now.

Whatever one you choose, do NOT stay at the Caribou Inn & Convention Center. I have been all over the country and stayed in some real dives, but it took going 12 miles into town for an evening, to stay at the dirtiest place I have EVER seen. Caribou Inn & Convention Center was that place. I personally would call Russells Motel, small, and older, but very nice people (207) 498-2567. The one on the other side of town is the Crown Park Inn and that is nicer as well (207) 493-3311. There is a B&B called the Old Iron Inn which is run by a nice couple who the Husband used to be a professor at the University in Presque Isle (207) 492-4766. There are a set of small cabins that are only a few years old that are mainly used by snowmobiliers during the winter and I THINK they are open all year as well, Called Caribou Cabins (207) 498-2800. If you are going out to Loring DFAS the closest one is the Riverside Motor Court (207) 492-1900 This one I have never been inside of so I have no clue as to the condition.

Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction.

Oh no, why didn't I check on here this morning? The realtor we are renting from suggested the Caribou Inn, and I called this morning and made reservations. I am trying to get my husband to call and cancel. You mean the whole place is dirty, restaurant and other facilities included? Maybe that's why they are so quick to accept pets.

Hair in the tub and sink (I am talking short curlys here). Sheets that looked like they may have been changed once in the last week. Glasses with finger and lip prints on them already. Trash still in the wastebasket. The gym is a nasty little place in the basement that hasn't seen a vacuum since the place was built in the late 80's early 90's (don't remember the exact year, but it was nice for a while after it was built). A few friends also stayed there after a wedding in town so they wouldn't have to drive home and all said the same thing about there rooms as well. Seems the pubes were a special treat in our room though. We left and drove home, never could get the manager to return our phone calls and never did get a penny back.

Believe it or not, the restaurant isn't bad at all. Has a semi-decent menu and quite tasty, a bit overpriced, but most motel restaurants are so no big surprise there.
