We enjoyed our stay at Stille Wasser. We loved sitting by the open fire in the incredible fireplace that is the center piece of the living room. The house is filled with unique thoughtful touches throughout and has a european flare to it, as you might guess from the name. The location is quiet and secluded as the title says (which is what we like) but still close to Old Orchard Beach and Portland. We went to Kennebunkport for the Christmas Prelude festival and enjoyed walking around the town and exploring the local shops. Barry was a great host and was responsive and friendly throughout.

This house is beautiful, The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to entertain. We had perfect weather and were able to enjoy the patio and walks down to the river. The location is private yet close enough to shopping and restaurant's. We would definitely go back !

The property is absolutely beautiful. The house was welcoming and well kept. Even with a little guy, it was relaxing and rejuvenating. Being on the river was breath taking and made for some incredible sunset watching! We truly enjoyed our time and hope to visit again in the future!

The house was not clean. Dust and cobwebs everywhere. The porch smells so bad you could not use it. The outside areas were filthy. The shower was was a joke.

This place was good enough for the price but there were carpenter ants crawling everywhere and the dryer did not work. While we felt it was an okay stay for the price, after we checked out the host is trying to extort us saying we broke the kitchen counter and the futon (that no one even slept on). Do NOT stay here
