The dog-friendly house includes a completely secured fenced in yard that also provides a safe play area for children! Rules for dogs are in our manual, but please be sure to clean up after them before you check out!

While a huge positive for many, parents should be warned that the gorgeous, but rushing, Saco River is only a few hundred feet from the back door! Families should feel free to enjoy the river and our sandy beaches during the appropriate months, all at your own risk. During the summer months we do have beach toys for play, as well as tubes for the river available. Just ask!

Back to the cottage, we have a dog crate, food bowls, poop bags, and dog toys available for when your bring your furry best friend! We even have a dog door that give access to the fenced yard. We have one bedroom with a king bed, and one bedroom with a double bed. We also have a fold down sofa in the living room. There are plenty of extra blankets to keep you warm!

In the kitchen we have a full size oven and gas stove, a full size freezer and fridge, along with a microwave, blender, and full set of all cookware and flatware. We also have a coffee bar that has a Keurig with options to brew single cups or pots, as well as options for all drinking needs including beer/wine/whiskey/cocktails. A free bottle of wine comes with check in for those that are 21+!

Outdoors we have a fire pit that can be used year round. You do need to provide your own wood. We have a year round fire permit and include the information for it in our home manual. You are welcome to utilize the fire pit as long as the rules are followed!

Our cottage is wide open for your use and enjoyment! We ask for respect when it comes to the closet in the secondary bedroom. We keep it open for your use and for extra supplies, but we do keep all of our stocking supplies in there. We hope that access to it won't be abused.

When it comes to dogs, your dog may be unleashed in the house and the fenced in yard, anywhere else on our property the dog is expected to be leashed. You are free to use the river with your dog at your own risk when safe to do so. We do ask to keep the dogs off the furniture in the house.

While the 30 acre property containing this cottage is open for your exploring and enjoyment, please respect the fact that there are many other people living here. Respect the quiet hours and be polite to others!

Our cottage is a super cute and historic piece of Bartlett Folklore. Sky Valley Ranch has existed since the early 1900's and slowly developed into a very sought after cottage and motel resort into the mid 2000's. After being purchased from the Eliason Family just before the pandemic, the Drew Family opened a location for a service dog training organization. For a few years, the entire 30 acres was a puppy's training paradise! Unfortunately, post-pandemic the company had to consolidate and left the ranch.

Now, the Drew family has been determined to keep the history of the Sky Valley Resort in-tact! While many of the living structures are permanently occupied, this cottage has been made available for short term rentals so all can experience the charm and mystique of Sky Valley Ranch!

Our cottage is in the middle of an outdoor oasis that provides more opportunities than you will ever be able to take advantage of. We say this confidently as we live here, and still haven't taken advantage of everything! Please ask us for advice because we have an abundance of information on ski mountains, hiking trails, snowmobiling, river access, camping, local restaurants, bars, and entertainment! We include a large section in our house manual about this and a card that gives discounts at many of our local eateries!

As a side note, Josh is a certified service dog trainer and I am a professional pet behavioral trainer. We can never separate our business from our love of dogs! If you have questions or want training input and lessons on your pup, don't hesitate to ask! We may not always be available, but when we are, we are happy to help!

We are so excited to host you! This is our first rental and truly a dream come true for us! We are super friendly and happy to socialize if you wish to! Please, don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything to make your stay better. We look forward to booking and meeting you!
