Wake up to extraordinary bayfront views at this Bowdoinham cabin, where you'll enjoy a private patio and firepit, nearby access to a shared dock, and a wondrous location for fishing, hunting, and admiring the classic Maine scenery.
This modern, light-filled home sits two lots down from L.L. Bean's original cabin on the shores of Merrymeeting Bay. Here at the confluence of the Abagadasset, Androscoggin, Cathance, Eastern, Kennebec, and Muddy Rivers, you can launch a boat from the dock in Bowdoinham two miles north, visit Bowdoin College with ease seven miles south, or explore the maritime history of Bath 13 miles south.
Step inside to find an open living space adorned with natural wood, casual furnishings, and large picture windows that overlook the bay. Light the gas-powered fireplace as you watch the sunrise each morning, use the free WiFi to read the local paper, and prepare a hearty breakfast on the stainless steel appliances in the full kitchen (which includes a dishwasher).
Head outdoors for the day to test your skills at duck and goose hunting, or paddle one of the six rivers in your kayak. Back at the cabin, you can unwind in the central AC, throw the day's clothes in the washer/dryer, and relax with a view of the bay. Sit down for dinner at the outdoor picnic table, and roast marshmallows for dessert around the comfy firepit.

Second time here, such a calming retreat. We enjoy the many hiking trails nearby and exploring the local towns and chatting with the people. We will be back for a third time!
We loved our stay at the cottage. One morning, we saw an eagle swoop down to catch a fish and saw two seals swimming by. The kitchen had everything we needed. The water pressure in the shower was very low, but hopefully that will get fixed soon.
We loved the modern yet simple design of the cabin but it is the view and bird activity on the river that will have us back. Such a special location!
We rented this property for three nights. We chose it due to the water view and it’s proximity to Augusta as my husband was racing in the 70.3 Ironman. The house was very clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the kitchen appliances, pots and pans that we needed. The view was absolutely beautiful and we took full advantage of the fire pit and dock access. The property management team was very thorough and sent updates about early check in being available which was an added bonus. This was our first VRBO rental and they made it very smooth! Our only complaint was the water pressure. It was so bad it made it difficult to shower or do dishes. With that being said I wouldn’t hesitate to book this property again for a short stay but would not recommend six people staying here.
We loved the cabin. The view is spectacular (we saw 3 bald eagles), the cabin itself is very modern and has very good air conditioning. It was quite warm during our stay, so it was great to have a cool refuge. We loved the proximity to places of interest like Bath, Boothbay Harbor and others. Go to the Sea Dog Brewery in Topsham for some great food, and amazing scenery. One of our favorite meals was at Three Robbers Pub just a few minutes away in Bowdoinham. We had a lovely week at the house and in Maine. Note: the dishwasher is out of service and the grill (charcoal) should be replaced, but these were minor inconveniences for us.
Pros- you cannot beat the views of this cabin. It's located near many lakes and rivers. The place was clean and tidy and supplied laundry pods. Cons- very small for our party of 6. Theres a dock but no fishing gear, a kayak but no paddles. The fireplace is broken, the dishwasher was broken, despite being included in the description. I reached out to the property owners day one regaridng broken equipment and they didnt get back to me until after check out. Bottom line- stop at a walmart and get fishing gear, kayak paddles, and i would suggest 4 people or less.
Lovely scenery at river front. Quiet. Home access was very difficult with pot holed road and steep entry. Nice kitchen but dishwasher did not work. Fireplace did not work either. Overall, the holiday went well.
A comfortable vacation spot, quiet, restful, comfortable and cozy. Very clean and well maintained. We plan to go there again.
Simple, quiet spot for a relaxing weekend.
Easy peasy!
The place is unlike any other. Views change literally every half hour, the colors over the bay, the tides changing, the loons, cormorants, and the bald eagles fishing. And the dawns are heavenly. My favorite place on earth
We loved our time at the cabin. The location is beautiful and peaceful and the cabin was bright, clean and comfortable.
Such a beautiful and quaint cabin right on the water. It was so peaceful and serene, and one of the best sunrises I've ever seen! Highly recommend!!!
Great place thank u
Get water views in private spot. The top bunk is ready for a updated mattress. Otherwise perfect.
The place is beautiful, and pictures are true of the place. They do not tell you that there are nice patio chairs in the shed. Found on third day when we were trying to figure out where the trash goes. There is NO guidebook as to how to run things or to put trash. We did find the manual for some of the items in the far-left drawer in kitchen. We had a concern that we were having to figure out the dishwasher (it takes a few seconds for it to actually start, fyi) and the property manager reached out to us and helped out. No idea how to fully turn off the AC and was a pain blowing as we worked on items for the wedding. Luckily, SIL has had one at work and showed us. Again, if there was a manual. Has not been brought up before but there is NO water pressure. We were staying here since my daughter got married nearby. My other daughter has thick hair and had to go to a family member nearby to be able to wash her hair. I ran out of hot water before I was able to get all the soap out. We have well water at our home, so we are used to wells and the water from them. This was BAD. Also only three drinking glasses. LOTS of mugs - this is a plus - these places usually have only a couple. Wi-Fi works great. I would highly recommend and go back again - if only we could have showered on site. Even husband complained and he has very little hair!
Just perfect for this solo traveler, but i would suggest some kind of floor lamp next to couch or easy chair for less harsh lighting.
