Cottage Overlooking Water

The cottage was comfortable, convenient and close to Bath and the Maritime Museum. We enjoyed the pass which was included, to visit Reid Sate Park on few occasions. There are nice walks nearby and also a Historical Tour of Bath. It's close to a Lobster Pound in nearby Five Islands. We would go back.

The morning view of mother nature on display every morning, sipping coffee on the screened porch was incredible. The cottage has a central location to the beachs, City of Bath and the best Lobster shack ever. Great to stay all day exploring or use as a base camp. Can't wait till the next year for our return.

Perfect for a relaxing week. Cottage was simple but comfortable and plenty roomy for the two of us. Screen porch overlooking the river got a lot of use. A nice surprise was all the conservation land on the island open to the public. I found out about this online— It would be nice to let guests know about this great resource and provide a map! Great kayaking nearby, but no access from the cottage itself. Boat landing at the end of the peninsula and the town landing worked fine. The description listed a DVD player, but there was just a satellite cable box. No big deal for us, but just wanted to note. A fire pit was also listed but we couldn’t find it. We made a fire in the charcoal grill and that was fine. We had a nice bike ride down a dirt road in Arrowsic just over the bridge, but if you bring bikes, know that the main road has fast traffic and no shoulder. If you hike, bring headnets and long sleeves. Mosquitoes were fierce (even in early September) and DEET bug spray got ignored. Bugs weren’t bad around the cottage, though. Beautiful island, great classic lobster place at five islands harbor, lots to do and see nearby, or just read, relax and watch the tide. Overall a great week!

The hosts are so sweet. I enjoyed my stay very much. Everything I wanted in a week's stay in Maine.The screened in porch was a bonus.

My husband and I had a wonderful week at this quaint cottage by the water. The Back River was fantastic for kayaking on. We even watched a Bald Eagle fish for his breakfast from our screened-in porch. The location of the cottage was perfect - 10 minutes from the cute town of Bath but remote enough to feel you are away. We loved spending time at Reid Park and the Popham Fort and also took a day trip over to Maine's Coastal Botanical Garden in Boothbay Harbor. Such a lovely week! We hope to return in the future.

The weather wasn't great that week but it still was a lovely vacation. Read, watched movies and went into Bath daily which is only 15 min drive away. There was a park pass included for Reid State park. The cabin was clean and the ambiance is rustic with beautiful views of the water. The drinking water has a high mineral content so two gallons of drinking water was in the fridge when I arrived. Katie was great. There was no running water on the last day which was fixed right away. The river is a great kayaking spot and you can rent kayaks on the property.

We enjoyed the local land preserves (KELP) for hiking. Plus, the management of the cabins supplied a season pass to get into the state parks free. The views were great from the large window in the living area. We saw Canadian geese in the marsh and kayaks and boats going by on the river. The bed was comfortable, but a king size would have been nice. We would definitely rent a cabin there again. it was just what we had hoped.

First time at cottage and we had the most enjoyable relaxing time. The cottage was clean and quite charming, with an amazing view of the back river. Saw lots of deer, eagles and even seals. Katie and Chris were so nice and friendly. Lots to do in the area too, the beach pass saved us money, plenty of walks to explore close by. Overall with all there is to do and the peacefulness, you can not go wrong, WE LOVED the place. gary & terry

It was a rustic cabin that also had wifi! Well designed. Liked the screen porch. We found the cottage to be very comfortable. Loved using the state park passes!

A perfect way to start the summer! We have already marked our calendar for next year, and look forward to another relaxing week!
