Great Little Cottage

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The layout worked really well and we loved sitting on the screened in porch. Water access was near by for kayaks and we spent each day at a different beach in the area. It was even close enough to Portland for us to spend a night out there.

Relaxing Peaceful Stay

IMO, the best part of the property is the screened-in porch. The view of the Back River and Josephine Newman Audubon Sanctuary was so relaxing. Most of the time, all that could be heard was the wildlife...quiet. Special thanks to Katie for her help during our stay.

Great location for visiting Georgetown

My wife and I stayed here 4th of July week. It was very convenient to everything on the peninsula and Bath. The cottage is rustic, but well equipped. The screen porch was great for when we wanted to relax and enjoy the view without getting carried away by the mosquitoes. An excellent value and we would definitely return.

Sheepscott Cottage

The property was perfect for us. Everything was as described in the listing. The owner and her family stopped by several times to make sure we were comfortable. We have stayed at several different properties in Maine and this one was the most enjoyable. Definitely on our list to go back.

Cabin in the woods

Couldn't have been more enjoyable. Quiet, comfortable cabin in the woods with views through to the river. Part of a complex of cottages on family owned and operated peninsula complete with boat launch. Family members we met were delightful and helpful. We will be back!

Blissful Tranquility

I loved everything about this cottage. Location is perfect if you want a tranquil place to recharge your batteries. Surrounded by woods with a porch overlooking the tidal river. Can't get better than this. Close enough to the quaint town of Bath and Georgetown where you can visit the beautiful Reid National Park. Would definitely return.

On the beautiful Back River

this is a perfect little cottage. it is big enough for two and to invite two more people for dinner. there is enough of everything: dishes, cutlery, towels, and if you're missing something, you can call Katie who responds quickly and helpfully. the star of this cottage is a screened in porch that increases the space of the first floor by another third. it is comfortable and gives onto the river, a tidal river that reverses course with the tides and provided me with endless fascination. while there are other cottages quite close, from the porch, you can't see them, and i rarely heard them. the cottage is wooded, so it stays pretty cool in the heat of the day and the screened-in porch catches whatever breezes may wander by. if there is a downside, it is that you are right off 127, the main drag through Georgetown and there is traffic noise all day and sometimes into the night. that said, it is hardly blastingly loud, just a noticeable rumble that might get in your way as you're listening to the birds. i appreciated the pass to Maine's Parks (and used it to visit Reid's Park at the end of Georgetown) and the history of the place (thanks Sam, for the stories!).

Located is a setting of mature trees with tidal river views

This rustic little cottage had all I needed for a restful stay of reading, painting, word puzzling and binge TV watching. Owner was great.

Gorgeous, quiet, deeply restful

Love the screen porch with the all-day view of marsh and river, oak-pine forest and boulders; also the gorgeous nearby beaches. Feels deliciously remote — we heard very few engines of any kind — yet close to groceries, restaurants, etc. Most cabins are too musty for me — I’m allergic to molds — but this one was clean and dry and smelled great thanks to lots of windows letting in the salty sea air. Host Katie was awesome, very friendly and helpful and totally un-homophobic. Wish we could stay and stay! One week was barely enough time to decompress.

Perfect Vacation

My wife and I stayed in the Sheepscott Cottage for a week in Sept. Very clean, quiet, comfortable. Beautiful view of the Back River and Marsh. We had coffee on the back porch every morning and enjoyed the view. We went kayaking on the Back River from the dock, went to Popham Beach and walked the sand bar, Reid State Park Beach, Morse Mountain Seawall Beach. Climbed Higgins Mountain, Went to the Maine Maritime Museum and took a cruise down the Kennebec River, went to Bowdoin College to the museum and art gallery. We ate out at some really good restaurants (Blue being the best). We used the cottage as a base camp to explore the area, but this would also be a great place to just hangout, cookout, and sit around a fire. We highly recommend this cabin. The owners are great, the location is great. It made for the perfect vacation.

Relaxing Maine getaway cottage

The cottage was in a great location not far from Bath and close to Reid State Park. Cottage was well equipped with everything we needed for basic cooking and grilling. Our dog loved the screened in porch they looked over the Back River. Bed was very comfy too. Looking forward to going back!
