The historic town of Wiscasset is fondly known as the prettiest village in Maine, it overlooks the Sheepscot River, (which you have amazing views of from our home !) and is around 45 minutes from Portland. Fun fact : When Maine first became a state in 1820, the village was in the running for state capital, but lost because of its proximity to the ocean. The town was also home to two of the most photographed objects in Maine: Hesper and Luther Little, two schooners abandoned near the U.S. 1 bridge. You don’t have to walk far to witness Wiscasset’s historical charm—there are interesting sites on just about every corner. In the downtown streets, you’ll find a range of restaurants, shops, and attractions, including the 1812 Jail, the Lilac Cottage, the Wiscasset General Store, the Musical Wonder House, and the Octagon House.

Thank you, Anne! We're so pleased that you enjoyed the clean, comfy home along with the lovely views!
Wonderful house and location on Sheepscot/Back River
The house was perfect, with AC, very comfortable furniture and full furnishings, a lovely open floor plan, a great yard, and wonderful views. We couldn’t have asked for more, and Sheri was super responsive. We, and our dogs, had a great time, and we’d stay here again.

Thank you so much ! We're SO pleased that you enjoyed our comfy home, the views, and the yard! We're equally as happy that your pup enjoyed their time there as well! :)
This home was private, peaceful and comfortable. We so enjoyed having meals and relaxing on the wide open deck watching the Ospreys, seals and lobster boats come and go on the river. We loved how close we were to RT 1, allowing us to easily visit beaches, restaurants, museums, and lighthouses. Sheri, the hostess, was quick to respond to any questions we had. Thank you for a memorable vacation. We will return!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Directly next to busy Bridge, could get even less private if adjacent home w/right of way to driveway used thier dock. Dated home overall, not worth 440/nt for a 2BR. Good Property Mgmt, just not enough value and if privacy decreased tenants would likely be upset.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear the property didn’t meet your expectations. The home's location — including views of the nearby bridge — is clearly shown in the listing photos, and there are no neighboring homes visible from the house itself.
We always encourage guests to reach out during their stay if anything falls short so we have the opportunity to help. It's disappointing when concerns are only shared after departure, as we’re committed to making every stay as enjoyable as possible.
As for the rate, please note that the nightly cost shown in your review includes VRBO’s service fees, which are set by the platform and not controlled by us.
We do appreciate feedback and will continue doing our best to provide a clean, comfortable, and well-managed stay for all our guests.
