We had a fantastic stay at this amazing rental! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, quiet, and fully stocked with everything we needed. The kitchen had all the essentials for cooking, the beds were super comfortable, and the layout is perfect for a large family or multiple families vacationing together. The large selection of games in the game room made for hours of family entertainment.The location was ideal—nicely tucked away from the road for a peaceful, riverside retreat, yet still close enough to town for dining out or hitting the nearby hiking trails.Check-in was seamless, and the host was incredibly responsive and welcoming, which really made us feel at home.One of our favorite moments was sipping coffee in the incredibly comfy leather chairs by the fireplace while soaking in the beautiful morning views through the large windows. It truly added something special to our stay.We would absolutely recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing, hassle-free getaway—and we can’t wait to come back!
We had an amazing stay at this riverfront home! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the stunning views right from the deck and living room- peaceful, picturesque, and the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or watch the sunset.The house itself was spotless, cozy, and incredibly well-equipped. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to make some meals at home. The hosts were great - responsive, welcoming, and full of great local recommendations. With comfortable beds and linens, to the board games, books, and children’s toys, it was a perfect family getaway. We also loved the convenient location. There’s plenty to explore as it’s within driving distance to numerous state parks, seafood spots, shopping and antiquing, and “classic Maine” coastal towns (including Wiscasset, which is considered one of the state's prettiest villages). Located in a suburb of Bath on the Kennebec River, there’s also plenty to do right down the road including The Maine Maritime Museum and the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. The town’s historical ties to shipbuilding makes the views of Iron Works from the house all the better! We can’t recommend this home highly enough. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing retreat or a base to explore the Maine mid coast, this place has it all. We’re already dreaming about coming back next year!
