The reviews said the house was so well appointed that they had everything you could possibly need. We did not find that to be true. Bring your own coffee filters if you want coffee, extra rolls of toilet paper because only three were provided for five people for the week. There’s definitely a bunch of stuff in the kitchen but it looks like it’s just whatever has been left behind by previous guests. For example, if you’re looking to cook, there is no salt, but you can find gummy zinc vitamins in the cabinet. My best advice would be to come with absolutely everything you would need to live with for a week. Also, there is not one mention of the driveway in the listing. We rented a van for this trip and an SUV was necessary. The driveway is so rutted out that we almost couldn’t make it in. We drug in several places, which was terrible because it was not our vehicle After staying for a week, we figured out a pathway to get in and out, but it was definitely a challenge. You should know that it is only air-conditioned downstairs with no window coverings and an open loft upstairs it was extremely hot if you’re not in the master. Between it being hot upstairs and the sun rising over the water directly into this cabin, sleep was a major challenge. There is no insulation between the upstairs and the downstairs so when the people upstairs start walking around, it sounds like they are falling through the floor. As everyone else mentions the place is beautiful but seems unfinished.

very peaceful location and spacious home

The home is very spacious and comfortable and the fireplace is nice. The dock is not available off-season so we were not able to go sit on the dock with coffee. The morning sunrise is lovely if it's clear out. The garage is not available to use. The bed downstairs (the one we used) is VERY comfortable. You do have a couple neighbors, and although they aren't super close, there are no window coverings at all, even in the bedrooms.

Relaxing getaway

Beautiful and relaxing getaway. Wonderful for families and couples! Note to families of young children: there are no blinds in the house which makes for late to bed, early to rise toddlers! But the swimming in the backyard makes up for it!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and inviting. I agree there could have been more seating options, but it was perfect for my family of 4. The kids loooooved the tree swing. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Views!

We love this property overlooking Merrymeeting Bay. The house is very nice. The patio is great. There were a few cigarette butts in the grooves of the pavers. The bed upstairs is very noisy and disturbs the bedroom below. The living room is in need of 2 comfortable chairs. This was our second time renting and will again.

Relaxing by the bay

The property was very nice and well equipped for a group of four. As others have mentioned, screens to keep out bugs and blinds for privacy and to keep out light would be very much appreciated. The property would also be enhanced with more outdoor furniture.

Beautiful and great location but needs updating

This was a great place with a beautiful view and easy access to everywhere we wanted to go. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. However, it really needs someone to keep up on the TLC. During our stay, we used the lovely fireplace .... until the panels of stone on the front of the fireplace started falling off. We appreciated all the drawer space ... until the front of the drawer fell off. And I really loved walking out to the patio to enjoy my morning coffee ... until the sliding doors stopped locking. It's already been said many times that there are 500 million light switches. Some work. Some don't. Some lights are operated by multiple switches. Nothing is labeled. It's also already been said that there are no blinds anywhere in the house. Bring a sleep mask and move on. The views at sunrise and sunset are more than worth it.

Awesome getaway on the water

We spent three nights over 4th of July weekend with another couple. This house is beautiful, and appears to be about 2 years old. Based on the online tour, we didn't really expect any privacy. The upstairs bedroom areas are open to below, and the downstairs bedroom has sliding doors that provide a visual screen, but no acoustic privacy. As long as you expect that, it's fine. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you'll need. There are reasonably good knives, measuring cups, gadgets. There's even an ice cream maker. There were plenty of coffee filters. There is a gas grill and a portable fire pit outside. The view is very nice, though through a row of mature oaks. There's a fun swing that you stand on. The dock is shared with the adjacent house (same property). Not great for swimming, particularly at low tide (water is murky all the time), but good for sitting and boating. We brought our 10' inflatable boat, which we launched at the Bowdoinham ramp (2.5 mi by water), and kept it on the dock for the weekend. Very convenient. The dock could use some cleats. It was tricky to tie up. We saw a lot of wildlife from the dock: a large turtle, bald eagles, seals. There are two islands about a mile straight out that are nice for exploring and swimming. The water is fresh, even though it rises and falls with the tide pushing up the Kennebec. We loved this place, and would definitely go back. Also check out the sister property. It's smaller, but perched right over the water. If you get bored, you can try to figure out what all the lightswtiches do. The downstairs bathroom has 10.

Many windows, beautiful view

My family had a nice stay in this new, modern house with a beautiful view of the bay. It has everything needed for a comfortable stay. However the layout of the house is odd and it's not a good fit for families with young kids or anyone who has different bedtimes (or needs quiet or a nap). The photos feel purposefully misleading and don't show that there are no bedroom doors for the two upstairs bedrooms (bedroom areas, not really bedrooms), which are in a loft. You can get an accurate picture of the layout if you do the virtual walk-through. There are door sliders for the downstairs bedroom but don't do anything for sound. Except for the bathrooms, the house is basically one big, open room with lovely views. It is best for a couple or a group of friends.

secluded lakeside red barn

Firstly the drive to the property was not ideal for most cars. Make sure you have an SUV because the hill is steep and road is broken up and windy. It is however, full of deer at night so drive carefully! I had the luxury of staying for 28 days in the fall and the color of the sky over the lake was breathtaking! You wake up to nature (especially since there are no curtains throughout the house). No curtains wasn't an issue for me except at night if there were neighbors and I felt as if you could see inside at everything we were doing. The kitchen was a disappointment since it seemed large but cooking was difficult and luckily for me I met the maintenance guy Kevin who said "if I needed anything to help make our stay better, just ask". They were truly one of the reasons this stay turned for the better. If you enjoy seclusion and nature, this place is for you. I would recommend more chairs outside for groups to sit on not just two. The living room needs more seating and bedrooms could've used another table for each side of the bed. The cable went in and out which was annoying when trying to enjoy a movie. I would stay here again if with a group.
