Summer Home with Deep Water Frontage and Dock

This house is ideally sited for maximum views. The deck has plastic chairs for sitting and gazing. The house itself needs a full thorough deep clean. The water situation takes a bit of getting used to. Our host was very easy to communicate with throughout our week long stay.

The photos on the listing are accurate. Lovely setting overlooking the water. The view was enjoyed from the deck and the eating area. There was an eagle that we saw everyday. In addition there was a seal which came to visit. Katie was extremely helpful and responsive to our questions. Highly recommend.

It was so nice sitting on the deck with our coffee watching the two bald eagles every morning (except the 3 days it rained) Everything was great. The bed was so comfortable--we slept so good. The only bad thing was you couldn't drink the water--it also had a bad smell. So we had to use botted water. We were given 2 gallons but had to buy 2 more because we used it to make our coffee.

Our family had a great time, loved the location!

Our week at the Summer House in Georgetown, ME was delightful from start to finish! The cottage was very up to date, comfortable, and well stocked!!! The kitchen was well stocked with apliances and pots/pans. The dishes were the best we've ever had in a short time rental! The manager was in touch to determine if we needed anything (we didn't!). The view of the Back River was enhanced by all the windows! We loved the ease of renting kayaks. All of us enjoyed every day thanks to the SummerHouse and its management as our home for a week. We hope to return!!! We recommend with no reservations to guests who want a very special cottage!!!

We enjoyed our stay at the Summer Home. It was a great launching point by land and by water, and Katie was exceedingly responsive and attentive.

We have stayed here before and found it to be a good experience, and it was overall as the location is wonderful, the dining space works really well for meals and games, the deck is wonderful, and the space is private. However, the house is becoming more dated, particularly the kitchen with hodgepodge of very old dishes, pots, and pans, not very many mugs or glasses and not organized well. The dishwasher is VERY old and coupled with the salty water, dishes never feel very clean. There were only a few rolls of toilet paper, one roll of paper towels and very little laundry soap provided, and that is with the expectation that sheets and towels are washed by us upon departure (which we knew, but could not do) and the knowledge that there were 6 of us. We had an issue with the 2nd floor shower leaking through to the 1st floor on day 2, so it became unusable for the remainder of the trip and 6 people had to then use one shower. We really are a low key family who do not like to complain, so we managed it well, but we would not have chosen this house with only one shower available to us. The property manager was contacted and responded, but it was then another few days, at our prompting, before we knew that it would not be addressed during out stay. We did receive some financial compensation for our inconvenience.

Summer house sits at the point where the view is so spectacular you won't want to leave the deck. We loved the privacy, peace and quiet this house gave us and the kayaking was wonderful. Sitting and watching the sunrise, listening to the birds sing and fish jump was the favorite part of each day. We even were visited by a little seal each day. LOVED THIS PLACE!!

The cottage was lovely - tucked down a winding road an easy drive from the quaint town of Bath and local groceries and amenities. Sitting on a point along the river, it was easy to enjoy many morning coffees watching the tidal water flow by...catching a glimpse of bald eagles, geese and other birds. The cottage is well-stocked with kitchen supplies linens and towels. The hosts provided us with bottles of water to get our week started. We enjoyed trips just down the road to Reed State Park for swimming and exploring and yummy dinners at Five Islands Lobster, as well as, day trips to Boothbay Harbor and Wiscasset. The upstairs loft is super cute with great natural light and views of the water. NOTE: if you are tall, you will find it a bit challenging to stand upright in parts of the upstairs. The main floor has a great space with lots of windows and again...great views. We enjoyed our time at the Summer House.

lovely cottage with a relaxing view of the river. kitchen has needed items, owners provide starter bottle water because it’s well water which has strong sulfur smell. house is at end of dirt road so good for morning dog walk. the upstairs has slanted roof lines so better for short people but not little ones unless spiral staircase is blocked. fans are available and we used them upstairs but main level was very comfortable at night ( and day). easy access to kayaks but as a paddler, some of the kayaks need repairs if planning on going into the kennebec river, ( eg rudders). comfortable beds, easy access to reid state park and there are access points to the nearby lake for swimming but requires driving to it. we had our dog with us and it was a great place for her and comfortable for the 4 of us. loved having coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening on the deck
