This house is a gem. We watched so much wildlife from the balcony, saw the Kennebec in different lights, walked to excellent restaurants and cafes. The house itself is charming and comfortable, the location has a rare combination of natural beauty and walkability.

This property is indeed "charming". It is well kept, clean, and all kitchen and bath supplies are plentiful. The decor includes warm antiques and interesting prints. It was a treat to get away from the hustle of Boston and popular Maine sites to this quiet location all within short walking distance for downtown Bath. It was a delightful stop for this grandmother and her two grandchildren.

Very nice and walkable location to the downtown area. Super quiet. Host was very responsive with questions. Plenty of space for all of us and a charming older home.Wishes: Deck was in better condition and, something the owner cannot control, but the next door neighbor’s backyard is a bit of an eyesore when trying to enjoy morning coffees.

We returned to this place for a second year and once again had a wonderful time. Check in was easy and we appreciated that there were some staple items in the fridge and cupboard. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning and were able to cook a meal or two in the kitchen. We were able to do a bit of work utilizing the Wi-Fi and were able to stream some movies/ shows in the evening. We took advantage of being able to walk to the shopping district a few times during our stay. It was a wonderful home base for our daily adventures in the Bath/ Brunswick area.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. We walked to town most every day and very much enjoyed morning coffee and breakfast on the deck. One morning a bald eagle spent some time in nearby tree! The cottage was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed.

An Enjoyable Stay

The Front Street property was a pleasant place to stay for our family. The view from the deck was beautiful. It is located in a very nice neighborhood and within walking distance of downtown. Downtown has many places to eat and there are many other things to see and do. We enjoyed our week and and were very happy we decided to stay there.

Ideal!

An effortless rental, because everything was so well thought out and well organised. We felt as though we were at home with lots of comfort and also beautiful furnishings and spacious rooms. The view of the river made it very special, and although very quiet, it was a short walk into town. Highly recommended!

Cozy cottage

The home was prefect for a short stay in Bath. We were very busy and only used the home for a home base. We didn't use the house for anything but sleeping. Host went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable.

If you love coastal Maine but have had enough of overcrowded tourist meccas, Bath is the town to visit. And if you enjoy staying in older homes where everything works, sleeping comfortably in a quiet and safe part of town, watching the moon rise over the Kennebec River from a very private deck, this house is perfect. Very easy walking to the small but sufficient commercial part of town. Wonderful Maine Maritime Museum that has to be experienced to be believed. And short drives to Freeport, Portland, or Wiscasset (Red’s and Sprague’s have the best lobster rolls). Ultra-prompt replies to any questions we sent to Host. We would definitely return.

Maine Stay

The house was perfect for a home base! Big enough for 4 adults! Rooms were a great size and the bathroom was nice. The deck and back yard were a bit if a let down. The deck was small and could use some touch ups! The yard needs to be cleared out. Would be nice to be able to get to the water! Perfect location though to walk into town!

I would love to have a path to the water however, the river is dangerous and it’s best to just look at it! Touch ups are planned for the fall. You can comment on the improvements next year. Best Catherine
