When I think of what a vacation home should be like, this is it! First let's talk about the setting: Private, quiet, woods all around, a wonderful view of the river, nice front yard, with places to sit and take it all in. There is a great sun porch, where we spent a lot of our time, that had great views and a relaxing vibe. The large deck was also a favorite place to relax and watch the lobster boats each day. Now on to the house: spacious, lots of natural light, really nicely laid out, just charming. The beds were some of the most comfortable we have had, the kitchen and pantry had everything we needed to prepare our food, and we appreciated being supplied the body wash, shampoo, and conditioner so we didn’t have to pack any. The area: the island is completely wooded, and I believe the lobster coop may be the only business on the island. Nearby Wiscasset is a wonderful, historical village that was a delight to explore. We had a very enjoyable stay, and our host Carol was great and very helpful. Highly recommend this lovely home!

We wanted a relaxing getaway to slow down and enjoy each other’s company. This house was perfect for that. We enjoyed the dock, the deck, the sunroom and the walking trails. So many places to hang out in the house! We had everything we needed in the kitchen/bathrooms and the beds were comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. We drove into Bar Harbor and took a boat tour to see the Puffins. Then went for a walk from the house and saw about 15 harbor seals lounging on a rock out in the water! Very comfortable and welcoming. Highly recommend this gem!

This house is beautifully laid out with so many thoughtful details to make our stay more comfortable. We loved the sunroom and were lucky enough to see deer walk across the side yard a few yards away from us. We loved this house. Thank you so much.

Beautiful spot, nicely appointed, full kitchen. An amazing spot to relax on the water. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you!!!!

Very comfortable and beautiful views! So serene. Provided instructions for driveway location very helpful.

It is a beautiful house on the water, Carol was really quick and pleasant in response to a couple brief questions I had. I would happily stay again. Thank you!

It was our second time staying at this home. It's clean and cozy and we love the area.

We had a wonderful long weekend with our family for a cozy and quiet time on the coast celebrating the holiday season. The house is lovely, very clean, and personable. Thank you to the hosts for sharing. We enjoyed watching the birds on the water, a visit to see the lights at the Botanical Garden, trails on the conservation land up the road, and trips to downtown Wiscasset for Treats. Thank you!

The house and location were beautiful. Clean and well stocked with all the essentials. The hosts were great and readily available. Would definitely recommend!

My mother and I had our first VRBO stay at this wonderful Westport Island home and could not have been more pleased with our stay! We're Mainers, but if I were visiting Maine, this would be a top spot --peaceful and private, but close to all that the Midcoast area has to offer visitors, and an easy ride for a day trip to Portland to the South, and great hiking and other outdoor adventures further north. A quintessentially Maine house in the woods --and with water views! The house is open, airy, cozy, comfortable, immaculate and has all the basics and many extras. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the pots, pans, appliances and dishware you would need, but also includes many cooking staples so you don't need to bring them, or if you forget something. Same for toiletries and other touches like a bluetooth speaker. We were there for a mother/daughter retreat and picked it for the view. We were fortunate to have perfect warm, sunny fall weather and had a great time hanging out on the beautiful deck, where there were comfy chairs and a table for dining and to work on the craft projects we brought along. Carol was very helpful and gracious as we planned our trip, checked in while we were there, and I have no doubt that if things hadn't been perfect, she would have been attentive to resolving any problems we ran into. We highly recommend this "hidden gem" and if we ever plan another Maine stay-cation we would be thrilled to stay here again! The host was gracious and provided many nice touches that

My wife and I came to be away from IT ALL for a few days after visiting lots of family. Found peaceful restfulness for multiple color-filled autumn days. The opportunity to relax and take in views from the deck, sunroom, and dock are good for the soul!

After looking several times on VRBO for a suitable place to spend a couple nights on the coast of Maine, I came across this gem. This is a secluded cabin in the woods overlooking the water & has access to the water. It's quiet, clean, well appointed and the host was very kind, cheerful & helpful. We recommend this place & would return if the opportunity arose.

From the minute we arrived we knew we were home. This home was the highlight of our trip. We are already making plans to return. I am always hesitant to book on line but this is the best. If you want to stay in one place and see the mid coast book this. Carol responded to text promptly and there were no concerns about anything. We will be back!

Peaceful stay, loved the sun room. We cook a lot so all the extra cooking supplies was appreciated.

Property was just as described in the listing. Great sunrise from rear deck, comfortable early fall evening in the screen room. The remoteness yet close location to stores and restaurants was ideal. We would have liked to use the would stove but understand the caution for someone without experience in fires in a house. Easy access from Route 1 and directions supplied were clear and concise. Would be great for a family retreat.

Great, quiet spot on the Sheepscot River. Plenty of room, games & books for our stay. Kitchen was well stocked. House has a lovely sunroom to be enjoyed on sunny days. Down the hill in front of the house is a dock on the water with canoe & kayaks available.

Charming home with water front access! Host is very thoughtful in preparing home for guest which made our stay so much better! We look forward to returning to this home.

House is in a great spot. We very much enjoyed the deck and the views to the water. Canoed every day on the river, enjoying the birds and other activity on the water.

This was a wonderful place to spend our first trip to Maine. The location is very private and quiet, but just a quick drive from the nearest town. We loved the salt air and abundant shade and made good use of the canoe and kayak that were included with the property. We were visited twice by seals swimming in the river and enjoyed seeing the lobster boats coming and going each day. Wiscasset is very charming and we spent one morning touring the Old Wiscasset Jail. We had a blast on the puffin cruise out of Boothbay Harbor (about a 30-minute drive) and dined on lobsters from Sprague's one day at lunch. We took several hikes on the nearby nature preserve trails. The only downsides were that the fish weren't biting and the local lobster co-op (a short walk from the property) was not yet open for the summer. I highly recommend this property for families, couples and solo travelers. It was worth the long drive from Maryland, and we hope to return to Maine someday.

Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this beautiful home on Westport Island. Great communication with host, perfect and detailed instructions for the property, everything you need for preparing meals and lots of suggestions for area activities. One highlight was buying lobsters right off the dock at the North End Lobster Co-op, which is a just a short walk from the property. Will definitely return for another stay.

This property was incredible. Beautiful views as advertised and a nature conservation area within walking distance. The owner has everything you would need on site. Very well thought out plan for the needs of guests. I would rent this house every weekend if we lived closer.

My mom and I enjoyed a wonderful stay on Westport Island mid-June. The house is very clean and extremely well stocked with any kitchen or home essential you could need. My mom even exclaimed that we could host Thanksgiving dinner here if we needed to! The local is ideally situated between a number of sweet towns to explore, 10 minutes from a large grocery store and only about an hour from Portland. And yet, the house is extremely quiet, tranquil and beautifully set overlooking the water. We highly recommend this home for families or individuals looking for a convenient Maine retreat!

The cottage was absolutely awesome! It was the perfect cozy family cottage with plenty of space for us. It was clean and ready for us, the notebook with all the local favorites and activities was awesome and came in very handy. The view from the trail and deck and dock were amazing!! We are so glad we chose to stay here and would do so again!

We had a wonderful trip. The views of the river are spectacular. The property is quiet and secluded. Cabin was very clean and well stocked. Just what we were hoping for. The home has everything you need plus some. Close to nearby tourist attractions and towns. Carol was very responsive to any questions we had. Couldn’t have been better! We hope to come back again soon!

As others have mentioned, this sizeable house is a great getaway spot, with a mix of wooded privacy and beautiful water views. There are many local history books and regional guides at the house to read up on nearby sights. Plenty to enjoy on Westport Island itself! The sunroom/conservatory was perfect on rainy or chillier days. Kitchen is pretty thoroughly stocked with cooking pans/utensils, which came in handy for us. Fun to watch all the birds from the breakfast table or out on the porch. We had an initial hiccup on check-in, but Carol helped us figure out a solution. Thanks for a lovely stay!

This was a beauty. Secluded, spacious, on the water, very clean. This house was perfectly equipped. There’s nothing I “wish they had” . We enjoyed the views out of the wonderful wrap around windows. Sitting in the sunroom with the space heater on watching the rain. Playing games. Huge supply of games, puzzles, and books. Birdwatching was fun! Local restaurants were top notch

Very short part of the road getting there was a little rough but not too nad..otherwise the area and house was amazing.. the solarium was the best part!! We had so much fun and some much needed quiet.

We enjoyed our time at this beautiful, clean, and comfortable home. We had everything we could have needed. The location is a peaceful wooded area yet close to the grocery store. We enjoyed sunrises off the deck and sunsets from beautiful Clough Point, a short walk down the road. We had a great time exploring the local beaches, forts, and lighthouses. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Had a great time, thanks!
