Georgetown, Maine
The Loft is perched at treetop level and affords panoramic views of the river and surrounding marshes. It is located on a secluded peninsula just 5 miles from Bath, Maine (The 'City of Ships').
There is a hiking trail along water's edge and also kayaks or canoes for rent to explore the waterways.
Refinished with knotty pine walls and flooring the Loft has a comfortable cabin feeling while offering breathtaking panoramic water views.
There is a queen size bed in the bedroom and pull-out couch in the living room.
The kitchen is complete with a refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster and coffee pot not to mention all the pots, pans, dishes and utensils you will need.
The Midcoast area of Maine is known for its miles of white sandy beaches and Lobster wharfs where you can enjoy their famous lobster dinners on the dock as you watch the lobstermen bringing in their catch for the day. What makes the midcoast so appealing is the fact that you get to enjoy all this without the crowds. You will love the slower pace of life and the pristine beauty of this untouched area.

Nice place.
We arrived at 9:30 and there were no sheets or towels. It is in the listing it said they were provided. The place was dirty, full of dog hair on the blanket thrown over the bed, cob webs, a lot, in the bathroom and bathroom, huge ants everywhere. It said coin operated washing machine. We contacted the manager and she said it was 12 minutes away! The water smelled so bad of sulfur that it made me sick when I took a shower. The toilet was stained so badly it needed replaced. All of the furnishings looked like they picked them up along the road. The bed was so lumpy and squeaked very time you moved. When I texted her my complaints when my granddaughter and I left she wrote back and said the place is the way it is so that anyone can afford it! What the hell does that mean. I was able to find another apartment that was delightful and well taken care of, presentable furniture and clean. I had to pay $600. The decision she made was to give me back my pet deposit of $50 because I made it clear that I didn’t bring my dog and the cleaning fee of $50. I want all of the money back. We were there Sat night and Sunday leaving Monday at three. I have stayed many places in Maine over the years and never had to leave one of them because so many things were wrong. Please tell what the next step should be.
The Loft at Back River Bend is a unique and charming space. The high ceilings and wall of windows overlooking the bend in the river provide always-moving beautiful views. The Loft is well appointed with a rustic feeling and very comfortable furnishings; overall this is a Wow! And the hosts were always responsive and attentive. Thanks, Katie!
Great spot, great hosts, amazing view! Nuff said!
My husband and I rented this place for a week. We really enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and surien. Reids state park was awesome and not far at all from where you are staying and comes with a pass so you don't have to pay. There is also a lobster warf and little shops near by as well. My only complaint was the bed was a little worn and not that comfortable and no washer or dryer or microwave ?
Great little spot to rest, work and explore the area. The loft was clean, updated, with all you need. A 15 min drive to Reid State Park - a gorgeous place to walk your dog. There are multiple cottages on the large property but they are well spaced out. Very close, 5-10 min drive, to Bath for grocery shopping: a Shaws and a Bath Natural Market. Looking forward to a return visit!
Katie and Chris were excellent hosts and very responsive to a few needs we had in the beginning of our stay. The location is marvelous. The view from the apartment is lovely and one can observe the tidal changes in the river. The property has beautiful gardens and a warm family feel. We appreciated that there were a few good restaurants nearby despite the rural setting. And of course Reid and Popham beaches are amazing.
The Loft was a sweet, quiet, and convenient rental! Had everything I needed. Comfy bed for sure!! And the view was AMAZING!!!
One fine, quiet Maine getaway. But still so close to all your basic needs. A beautiful view of a tidal cove awaited me at every hour when I was on the property. And on clear nights, the entire Milky Way beckoned. Comfortable queen bed after that. A fine, relaxed low-key vacation for a return visitor to the area. If you so desire, kayak and canoe rentals beckon. But I just used the available Maine state park pass to go to Reid and Popham beaches, each with their own distinctive character. Hope for a return engagement next summer, as there are other dwellings on the property to explore!
We enjoyed our stay at the Loft. The view from the loft was amazing and the property was as described. The owner's garden was expansive and she shared some of her vegetables. I saw a few reviews regarding the sulfur content in the water - the owner does supply a few gallons of water to get you started. We brought a Britta water filter that we used for cooking water, but it was not enough for drinkable water. I have a very sensitive nose and sometimes the faucet water caught me off guard, but after the water ran a bit, it was much better. One thing to note - the garage under the loft had a lot of activity, so if you are a late sleeper or plan to spend the day at the loft, it can get noisy. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
