Modern, Sunsets, Solitude, Swimming, Boating, close to Lobster and State Parks!

The photos don't do justice to the beautiful view from the house and the general setting. The primary living area in the main house is also a fantastic spot for family and friends to gather. The owner also gave us some great tips -like pick your own oysters just down the street, and clamming at the nearby state park. We were there for three weeks and had a wonderful time.

We loved our time in the Finny house. It’s spacious and unique. Everyone had their own space. House had everything we needed. The host is very communicative. Stuff in surrounding area is much more reasonably priced than Bar Harbor and Acadia region.

We had a great stay here. 1 week went by way too fast. We brought our little jet boat and explored the Kennebec and Back rivers both up river and out to the ocean. Saw many seals, osprey, kingfisher, lots of other wildlife, even a bald eagle attacking a blue heron (probably trying to steel it's dinner). Property has a dock which we tied up for the week. It's a tidal river so at low tide the dock/boat is in mud flats. There is a mooring available if you don't want your boat sitting in the mud. Host has several other boat options as well. If you have a dog, there are several nature preserves/hiking areas close by. Our favorite was the cliff trail in Harpswell. As for the house itself - it is very interesting design. Great for larger families with plenty of bedrooms and a large open concept area for games, meals etc. We were mostly out of the house but we did enjoy several breakfasts/dinners there as the well stocked kitchen served us well. We've been to several rentals over the past number of years and this was definitely one of our favorites. We will very likely try to rent again - hopefully longer than a week. Loved it!

Great place - room for many more than the three of us. Strongly recommended.

We had the best time at this unique and lovely property! The main house and bunk house provided plenty of space and the hosts had everything you could need to have a fun time playing on the water, cook full meals, and enjoy the beautiful views of the river. They also provided a State Park Pass that allowed us to drive just 10 minutes to Reid State Park to hit the beach when the tide was low, then return to the property to paddle board, kayak, fish and swim when the tide was a bit higher. We enjoyed going to Boothbay on the one rainy day we had. We also did a few hikes in the area, we highly recommend the Morse Mountain to Seawall Beach hike, only a 40 minute drive and totally worth it for the quintessential Maine views! Bug spray is a necessity, but park of summer in the Maine woods. Our family highly recommenda staying here!

This property was nestled away in the woods away from it all but yet a short drive to anything youd want to explore. Serenity and privacy. Home was fully equipped with all the necessary items and then some you might not even think about. It far exceeded our expectations!! Use of state park pass was an added bonus!! We brought our puppo along and she had the time of her life exploring the grounds and enjoying a swim!! Thanks for sharing your home with us, most relaxing vacation ever!!

House was as advertised. Nice place with an awesome living room and screened in porch. Bunk house was fine and worked out well. The property was well kept. The rain and mosquitoes were too much but nothing anyone could do about that. The fact that we did not hit the tides well was definetly a minus. Mud flats did not make for great fishing or swimming. The only days that would have worked it poured. The nearby beaches were very nice on ghe two days of sunshine we had. Oyster farm across the road was awesome.

The road to get there was kind of bumpy because it is a dirt road. Once you get there though the house is right on the water. If we had better weather we would have went out in the boats. It has a nice screen porch you can sit on that overlooks the water. Overall, we thought this house was really nice.

A wonderful family vacation spot! First time staying in this spacious, handsome, comfortable, and perfectly equipped home, while renewing our 28-year Maine coast tradition. The home was absolutely as clean as we needed (some visitors may be slightly more picky); the wooded property is more beautiful than we anticipated; access to the dock is flat, clear, and quick. The availability of various water craft is a tremendous feature... and we only used the human-powered ones! We all loved exploring Back River--upstream and down, into the saltmarsh and across to the private picnic isthmus and the neighboring bay, filled with Snowy Egrets. Bedrooms and baths are all generously sized; beds (as well as linents and towles) are comfortable; plentiful windows welcome beautiful light and views; pure Maine! At the end of a warm, dry summer, the mosquitos were lighter (or their bites less long-lasting) than we expected, though multiple daily sprays helped, too. The only drawback to the location is the very hilly 1 mile drive on a dirt/gravel road off of the main road. Easy enough to load up the car for the quick trip to the ever fascinating Reid State Park, the glorious views at Five Islands (and next spring's return of Five Islands Lobster Co.), and Eros Oysters, the new farm on the Robinhood Cove. Access to Bath is easy, and always worth a visit. And at 45 min. away, the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden is perfect for a non-beach day; it's truly of Maine's premier special attractions! Our family looks forward to returning and making this tidal riverfront home a regular part of our family's most cherished tradition. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, your special piece of Maine with us.

I hesitate to write this review...because everyone will want to stay at this awesome property! This rental is spacious, comfortable and a true Maine camp. This house was designed to be enjoyed. Situated in the woods, it is peaceful, natural and relaxing. The water view of the river is captivating and we never get tired of watching nature unfold right outside the screened-in porch. The kitchen is well stocked for any cooking adventures you might have in mind and the beds are comfortable. You are in the deep woods, so do plan accordingly for mosquitos and other bugs. This is our second visit to this lovely property, and we can't wait to return.
