About this cottage rental

This cottage is on a small bluff overlooking the water and surrounding marshes. It is located on a secluded peninsula just 5 miles from Bath, Maine (The 'City of Ships').

There is a hiking trail along water's edge and also kayaks or canoes for rent to explore the waterways.

The cottage has wood beamed ceilings and pine floors. There is a good size screened porch from which you can enjoy sunset views over the water.

There is a queen size bed in one bedroom and two twin size beds in the other. The couch in the living room converts to a bed for additional sleeping accommodations.

For those who desire to stay 'plugged in' we offer Satellite TV and Wireless Internet.

The kitchen is complete with full size refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster and coffee pot not to mention all the pots, pans, dishes and utensils you will need. If you like to BBQ there is a charcoal grill just outside the front door. For lobster lovers we have a large pot available for you to cook them fresh in your cottage.

The Midcoast area of Maine is known for its miles of white sandy beaches and Lobster wharfs where you can enjoy their famous lobster dinners on the dock as you watch the lobstermen bringing in their catch for the day. What makes the midcoast so appealing is the fact that you get to enjoy all this without the crowds. You will love the slower pace of life and the pristine beauty of this untouched area.

This was our second year staying at the cabins. Very quiet and relaxing, hiking with our dog every day. Looking forward to next year!

First of all there was only one fan in the whole house and this was is July. Second, if you wanted a big pan to cook lobsters you had to walk to a gazebo and get one and return it. Third, the previous renters forgot something so either the owner or the real estate agent asked if they could stop by and pick it up so we said, "Of course". We waited for 45 minutes and no call and no show. So we finally called them and they said, "Oh, it was another cabin." So I emailed them, "We were doing you a favor by waiting." Not cool to treat your renters like that. Not a lot of channels to watch. On the positive side it was quiet and clean but there were some bob webs. I would stay elsewhere for the money.

A perfect getaway
A perfect getaway
We had such a wonderful time here. It was secluded and peaceful, but also an easy drive to Bath, Brunswick, and Portland, as well as the beaches at Popham and Reid State Park. There's a little zip line steps away from the house that spans a stream, and my young sons couldn't get enough of it. We didn't hesitate to sign up for another stay next summer. The one heads up I would give to others staying here is that bed sheets and towels are not included by default. The hosts had mentioned this explicitly in the email they sent me beforehand, so it's not at all their fault, but I had just assumed the email was all legalese check-in/check-out/don't wreck the place stuff so I didn't bother reading it fully. So make sure you request the sheets and towels going in. It wouldn't have been an issue at all, except we got in late. We were fine the first night, and when I sent them a text, they dropped off the sheets and towels promptly first thing the next morning. In all, an ideal spot for a great vacation.

Katie is wonderful - very responsive and friendly! The view is beautiful, the location made it easy to get to Bath, and the park pass for Popham Beach and Reid State Park was a big money saver. The screened-in porch and sunset views were lovely! But we were disappointed about a few things: mosquitoes: Maine is notorious for its mosquitoes, and there were plenty around the cottage. Having to sprint from car to cottage is not an exaggeration! Do not expect to hang out outside unless you are covered in bug spray. kitchen: not what I would have called "fully stocked" - if you have a good knife at home or a large serving spoon, or cup measures, bring them! shower: If you are over 5'8", or if you are fairly chubby (like me), you will find it hard to turn around or bend down to wash your legs. If you want luxurious bathing, this is not it. If you are obese, look elsewhere. beds: very uncomfortable, saggy and lumpy mattresses, including the pull out couch. Investing in new mattresses would really help. cleanliness: on the surface, it's very clean - spotless fridge and stove, counters, etc. But the cleaners don't seem to look up - at all the cobwebs decorating every corner and down the walls. spiders: I stayed in the queen bedroom and had no issue, but my daughter in the twin bedroom lost a lot of sleep and killed spiders every night we were there. Arachnophobia? This is not the place for you. Admittedly, I didn't complain about these things to Katie because I figured there was nothing she could do about most of them once we had arrived - but I hope some improvements are made for the future. It is a cute place, and it served our purposes.

My husband and I spent a week in the Hockomock cabin at the Back River Bend Cottages in late September 2017. The cabin was adorable, had plenty of space, and plenty of hot water. We watched beautiful sunsets over the marsh while listening to the sounds of nature on the screened in porch! It was the perfect spot to have day trips to Freeport, Rockport, Camden, Wiscasset, and Bath. There was even a pass to the State Parks in the cabin for our use that got us into Reid State Park and Popham Beach. The bed was plenty comfortable and the cabin was clean. There were plenty of pots, utensils, and plates to use! We were also able to bring our two cavalier king charles spaniels who loved looking out the screened in porch. They were kind enough to provide some bottled water for our use. This cabin is right next to the boat storage area. The peninsula has a short trail to explore, and Georgetown has plenty of other trails to peruse. Overall, a very relaxing cabin!
