We had a terrific week in the house. Plenty of room for sleeping eating, lounging and playing. The separate apartment was very useful for my daughter and her family, as she could have both communal time with the rest of us as well as a separate space for naps etc..
The from yard and backside run down to the water were well used for various games, flower picking and chasing games. We found the house well equipped for our needs and Art was a delight to communicate with: generous and responsive.
My siblings and I had a wonderful week here! There was lots of room to congregate, eat, visit, and enjoy the gorgeous view and cool weather. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and family meals. The owner was very helpful and gracious. I would highly recommend this property and intend to keep it on file for future trips to Maine.
This is a beautiful house on the water with wonderful views! It was very clean ,spacious and nicely decorated. The interior seemed new and fresh,very comfortable and eye appealing.The description was very accurate. The owners are very nice to deal with.They went out of their way to be helpful. We had a great vacation at this property!
This property offered everything that was stated and more! We had 10 in our party and there was plenty of room for everyone, including the apt. The kitchen table(in the main house) is larger than the one shown in the picture(seats eight comfortably). The screened-in porch was wonderful! The owners were very accomodating and answered all of our questions. Both, Popham Beach and Reid State Park were within 30 mins. Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. Shaw's supermarket and a seafood market approx.10 mins. away. I would definately stay at this property, again!
Spacious home with great screened-in porch and water view
Our family of six adults and one 8-year old child had great 3 œ day stay at this large home that overlooks a tidal river and has a spacious screened in porch with a great view. From the comfort of our mosquito-free porch, we were able to watch a July 4th fireworks display on the river put on by one of the locals. The kitchen table easily accommodates 8 people and the porch accommodates even more - though without a dining table. The separate attached apartment was perfect for the couple that dislikes dogs, since our young Labrador was in the main house. The road that runs by the house is great for walking since there is not a lot of traffic and the cars that traverse it drive slowly. Plus it is shaded by trees. Our host Art, was very accommodating, replying promptly to any questions or concerns and the cleaning woman who lived close by was also very helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
We rented both the house and adjacent apartment for 11 family members and it worked perfectly. Both places were neat, clean, well appointed, with freshly painted ineriors.
This is a great location for exploring the Maine mid coast region. Places we visited that were well within reach for half day trips ranged from Portland, Freeport, Bailey's Island, and Bath to the South and Wiscaset, Boothbay Harbor and Rockland up the coast.
The property is located on a quiet, beautiful road which we found to be great for biking and our early morning walks. We brought our kayaks and launched them right from the property for some relaxing paddles. (It's a tidal bay so you have to keep an eye on the tide schedule). But some of us didn't want to be so active and spent lots of time reading on the deck or in the screened porch (very nice). If you go, stand on the deck on a clear night and turn off the lights. There's not so much light pollution here and the stars were fantastic!
I'm an antiquer, so I was happy to find the Montsweag Flea Market (antiques - Wednesdays) less than 10 minutes away and the Avalon Antiques Market only a few minutes more. And we liked being able to get to the supermarket within 10 minutes!
The photos on the website just don't do justice to the place. We're going to submit photos from our trip in hopes they will post them on the site.
Great Waterfront House for Extended Family/Friends
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!
We had a family reunion with six people staying, and up to seven visiting at one time. The bedrooms were comfortable and quiet, the kitchen roomy, well-equipped, and comfortable for hanging out. There are great spaces for spending time together, as well as for ample privacy. We spent a lot of time on the big screened in porch looking down towards the water, spotting deer and wild turkeys, and had lots of room for company there. For my motherâs 87th birthday, we grilled some amazing steaks from Kennebec Meat in Bath. We appreciated having the apartment as a bit of a retreat and workspace, and just walking down the road was glorious. A quiet week, since one aunt got sick, but some of us still enjoyed nearby beaches, shopping and museums.
We were near all the activities we had planned. Whale watching, Acadia Park, Booth Bay and a family wedding near Lewiston. The grocery store, Shaw, was wonderful. We got sandwiches from Sisters in Bath I highly recommend. Canât say enough good things about the property also. Our family had more than enough room. So nice and comfortable. I was able to communicate with the owner easily. He was very responsive
Our multigenerational group had a great time at this house. There was ample space to spread out and the side apartment was perfect for tired parents and babies. Woolwich is ideally located for trips to Popham Beach and Reid State park. The only hiccup was that a crib was listed in one of the bedrooms and there wasnât one. All in all a super place to stay
This was our second stay at this Woolwich find. Art is incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with. The property is exactly as described and perfect for folks who need a lot of space but not fans of stairs. The location is fantastic for day trips within 35 minutes in all directions. So much more to explore next year!
This was our second visit to this property. Among reasons for returning: great screened in porch, ability to launch kayaks from the property, large kitchen, flexibility provided by in-law apartment. We stayed longer this time and enjoyed exploring nearby Bath - great farmers market on Saturdays!
Plenty of room for our family of 7. The screened in porch was a wonderful place to relax and the kitchen table was large enough for everyone to eat in the same place and play games and also plenty of kitchen supplies for cooking. Lots of interesting places within an hour's drive: Bath, Boothbay, Camden, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, etc.
This home is located in a quiet neighborhood, a great view of the water, and a screened room to relax and enjoy Maine. Only a couple miles from Rt-1 it is convenient hub for day trips like Boothbay, Kennebec rafting and Arcadia, as well as shopping.
The house has comfortable large bedrooms, large family room, and dining table so our group could be together without feeling squeezed in.
Lastly the owner Art is very responsive to any questions and doing whatever he could to ensure that our trip was great - 10 stars!
This was a wonderful property for a quiet family vacation. Peaceful, beautiful location. The kitchen is well appointed, and the home is very clean. Close to Portland, not far from Bar Harbor. The property owner is communicative and friendly. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Art was super helpful, kind and responsive to any questions. The grill was clean and ready to go when we arrived. The kitchen was stocked with just about anything you might need for cooking breakfast lunch and dinner. The house was big and roomy with lots of box fans to cool things down. We absolutely loved the screened in porch. We were out and about doing something different every day as Woolwich is about 30 minutes away from so many things to do! Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta, Popham Beach are the first 3 to come to mind. Canât wait until next year!
The house was clean and spacious. The location was excellent. It was a bit of a hike down to the water but we were able to launch our kayaks and SUPs. Many great restaurants and places to shop within 30 minute drive. Art was very helpful. We had a wonderful week.
What a wonderful gem. We loved our week here. The place is exactly as described and has everything you need. Well stocked! We enjoyed the large lawn area for games of cornhole & croquet. The spacious sloping lawn was perfect for kite flying. We loved the screened porch & morning sunrise with coffee was my favorite. Stunning! The road is quiet. Perfect for a walk.
We would stay here again and definitely recommend. From the very first inquiry to the last day, Art was wonderful with communication and making sure we were all set and comfortable.
Our family had such a fantastic time at the not so little hideaway! Very spacious with an incredible view. We had a great time with trips to the beach and hanging out relaxing. The owner was a pleasure to work with as well. He was very kind and helpful.
Art was amazing to work with. Great with communication. My family rented the house and the apartment. Plenty of space and very clean. Great location. Would definitely stay there again.
