Charmante maison sur la baie de Montsweag.

Very clean and modern waterfront house with attached apartment (extra fee) on a quiet country road was the perfect getaway for two families. We had two families with a total of 4 adults and 5 children. The five of us stayed in the 3 - bedroom main house, and the other family of four slept in the attached 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment has it's own kitchen, sitting area, and laundry. Having two sets of laundry was great with a large group. The main house has more than enough shared space for everyone to spread out. The large, well-stocked kitchen with island easily fit several cooks, and the kitchen table comfortably sat all nine of us by pulling an extra chair in from the screen porch. There are water views from most rooms. The large screen porch was the perfect spot for us to hang out after a long day at the beach. The porch gives a panoramic view of the tidal river over a field and through mature trees. There are exposed mud flats at low tide, but most of the time, the view is filled with water. There is an open path down to the water where my son and I tried fishing for what appeared to be Atlantic Sturgeon frequently jumping right off shore, but had no luck. With most of the windows open, there were nice ocean breezes coming through the house. The quiet country road has very little traffic and was great for morning runs/walks with intermittent views of the water. The house is conveniently located about 12 minutes from the town of Bath with shopping and restaurants. It's about 5 minutes from The Taste of Maine (tourist trap). There are much better, smaller restaurants with excellent seafood in Bath (south) and Wiscasset, about 15 minutes north on Rt 1. We went to Popham Beach most days, which is a beautiful, uncrowded sandy beach with nice waves. Great for boogie boards and body surfing. Popham Beach is a scenic 35 minute drive away. Overall, we loved the house, views, and location. We hope to return next year!
