Summer 2026 ! Kayak on the Kennebec EVERYTHING you need

The property is nestled nicely in the woods on the river. Spacious and comfortable. We only stayed for one night but would love to stay here longer. This place would be fantastic for a longer term rental for a family.

Thanks for a great week - big yard for kids to play in

We had an amazing family reunion staying here! Darren was incredibly responsive and accommodating as were the cleaners letting us in early to drop food and dogs off. The property is lovely with a retreat feel. Very quiet and serene. So much space with 5 bedrooms and fabulous community space. The outdoor wrap around deck and gas grill were a huge bonus! Thank you Darren for everything!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it’s important to share our experience. Our weekend was impacted by several serious issues. First, we had no running water for 12 hours due to a well pump failure. The host kept asking us to wait instead of immediately sending help.More concerning was the mouse activity —we saw a mouse in the kitchen, and there were droppings on the counters and in the cabinets near the cookware. We didn’t feel comfortable using the kitchen.Several of my friends who slept in the basement also developed allergy-like symptoms that cleared up after we left, suggesting something in that space may not be clean or well-ventilated. It smells musty/moldy. After the trip, I contacted the host with a polite request for a partial refund. Despite multiple follow-ups — including contact from VRBO support — the host never clearly communicated a decision and was unresponsive. When I spoke with VRBO, I was told I likely would’ve been eligible for a full refund if I had reported the issues during the stay. But in all honesty, I was simply trying to make the best of the weekend with close friends I rarely see, who had gathered for a wedding. I didn’t want to spend the trip chasing a resolution — I just wanted to enjoy our time together.It’s unfortunate that our experience wasn’t met with accountability or even basic communication afterward. I wouldn’t book here again, and I hope this review helps others make an informed decision.

This is a great house for a large group of people. Great location with plenty to do in the area. The host was communicative and made sure we had everything we needed.

The house was great and lots of space. Very clean with everything we needed.

Lots of room in this house to enjoy a vacation with family! The location was great - just a short ride into Bath, to several amazing beaches, not far from Freeport, Portland, Boothbay...

Communication and checking in/out with Darren was a breeze. He was so nice and helpful and was willing to give recommendations which were perfect for our stay. We booked to celebrate a graduation and birthdays and the house and property were perfect! Plenty of room and space, and everyone loved the house. It rained most of our weekend but we didnt really notice as we had lots of fun hanging out and spending time around the big dining table and playing games. Loved the fact that we were able to cook meals as well as the kitchen had everything we needed. Best part was we brought our 4 legged family member and when we checked in we found a giant dog bed and toys out for her. It made us feel welcome and at home. Definitely planning on booking again in the future! Thanks again for the wonderful stay!!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Perfect location, amazing property, comfortable beds and a nice-sized kitchen with plenty of dishes, pots & pans. Enjoying my coffee out on the deck each morning with the birds and chipmunks was the best! Hope to visit again!

The stay was great. House smells kind of musty but was otherwise nice. Master bedroom doesn’t have a door, just a curtain. The location is great. The host was attentive.

A great place to house a whole slew of friends/family visiting from out of town.
