We have rented many properties for our yearly family vacation but this was by far our favorite! We've already rebooked for next year. The location, the size of the property, the pool, the outdoor areas... everything was amazing! The adults loved the deepwater dock, the kayaks and canoe. The little kids loved the pool. There were many places to go visit locally but we were able to come back to the peace and tranquility of the house. The guest cottage was a big hit for the grandkids!

These two clean and well stocked cabins were much enjoyed by ten adults and four children as our family gathered for a week's reunion. The cabins were clean and marvelously well equipped with large dishwasher and microwave, and ample plate ware and utensils. We enjoyed eating dinners on the large table on the deck. The mattresses were comfortable, and the pool and ping pong table utilized with enthusiasm. We used the kayaks and canoe each day, and even sat on the dock to watch fireworks on the 4th of July! Jessica was responsive and immediately helpful with a need we had. Lots to do in the area: We hiked Bonyun Preserve, walked the beaches at Reid State Park and the Popham Beach, explored historic Fort Popham, searched for the enormous wooden trolls in the Botanical gardens, picnicked in Boothbay Harbor, and played golf at the nearby courses. Everyone had an excellent experience and we all hope to come back!

It was a very nice place for a family vacation. There was plenty of room for all of us (10).Yard and inside games provided along with kayaks for the river and a pool.
4.9
Overall it was great - pools make all the difference with young kids! The communal space indoors was a little tight for adults, but the porch area was great. Seemed a little stingy to only supply 1TP roll per bathroom for the stay. The instruction book had vanished, and the info about the pool care was a little too much for non-owners of a pool. If there is an anticipated heat wave, bring fans with power.
Really great location!

We had a girls long weekend and wish we could've stayed longer. Beautiful place! There were 9 of us and several were going to stay in the cottage, but it just seem cozy and warm so we all stayed in the house which worked out completely fine. The cottage was very clean and nice, i just think it would be better in the summer, we were there in the fall. We loved being by the water and took the kayaks out, and had a wonderful fire one nite. Loved the walk down to the water, but it is quite a steep and longer walk, so i wouldn't recommend it for anyone that has any walking physical disabilities. Wish we could've used the pool, maybe next time out.

Very nice place and location.
Loved the separate cabin where the older kids were able to stay separate from the adults.
Only issue was that the pool was not usable as it was dirty and green - late in the season but we still were hoping to be able to take a dip (especially the young kids)

This property was perfect for our extended family. The grandchildren loved the yard and had many whiffle ball, football and soccer games! The pool was an added perk that everyone enjoyed! We had a great week, that flew by way to fast.

The house was very clean, spacious, and beautiful. We played games on the front lawn and used the pool and played some of the family games available at the house. We had and amazing time and would definitely return with a large group.

Everything was just awesome. We rented a house to celebrate our wedding with a small group of people at this location. Everybody admired the beauty of the house and surrounding area. Hosts are the nicest people. They showed us the house in advance so we made sure that it could meet our needs. I would just say that the living room is a little bit smaller than we would prefer. But we fell in love with this wooden house and the atmosphere inside, so we did not want to look further. Highly recommend this place.

The location could not be beat. Private, beautiful river. We loved the kayaks and canoe and the pool was a godsend for our children as the lake proved too cold for us wimps. The house was comfortable and well appointed. The host was very responsive.

Fantastic Location for Family Time
Our family group of 15, ranging in age from 4 months to 65, arriving from Vermont, Michigan and Oregon, greatly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen worked well for prep of large meals. The location is quiet. We played croquet on the lawn, and ping pong in the gaming cottage. The gorgeous oaks and white pines shade the path down to the dock. We canoed several times. The pool was very often the center of recreation for the children. We saw only two seals but saw osprey and blue herons often.

Lovely location and plenty of room

The property itself was very spacious and the amenities for outside activities for a family reunion we’re plentiful. There were canoes, kayak, swimming options along with the fire pit for a night time fire outside. The family room area is very small for the amount of peopleThe house accommodates. Manny items considered necessities are not stocked such as kitchen towels and potholders. The selling point of this property is the outside activities for the warmer months.

It was a beautiful and very well organized property, just as described by our host. The two properties comfortably housed the 13 of us. The kitchen was well equipped with tons of dishes and cookware, bedrooms had fresh sheets and plenty of towels for everyone. The area was beautiful and the property is right on the river. We had a blast taking out the canoe and kayaks and making a fire. Really happy with our stay!

Peaceful and relaxing vacation
This property was a perfect fit for our group of high school friends ‘75, to meet up for our annual vacation. It’s close enough to Booth Bay Harbor to drive for shopping and great restaurants nearby. The pool is a plus as the river comes in and out with the tide. The only drawback was lack of air conditioning. During the day the humidity is high but the nights are cool in Maine.

What an incredible property! A seamless checkin process and a well thought out property. It easily accommodated our 3 families. I would highly recommend this property.

We stayed here with extended family: six adults and six kids. The house was comfortable, clean and in a private and quite location. The kitchen was well equipped. Convenient access to the river and it was fun to swim off the dock and use the kayaks and canoe. The pool is small but provided lots of entertainment for the kids.
