Cottage vacation rentals in Kennebec River

The most beautiful place, exceeding all expectations. The views are spectacular. We breathed in peace and tranquility. A fabulous place to celebrate my 80th birthday with the whole family -- 16 of us. Everyone was comfortable in the space. In addition to being the perfect host, Samantha provided surprise extras which was such fun! Just a few of the highlights: S'mores at the firepit, lobster dinners, seals, bald eagles and fireworks. She made our stay truly memorable. My family gives the place the highest recommendation.

Spent quite a while here for work and saw winter turn to spring. What an amazing place to stay! Right on the water, great views, and it’s so peaceful. Thanks Craig for being so flexible! Everything was up to par and then some. I hope to come back in the summer sometime and enjoy it again!

We had a great two nights here and enjoyed the hot soak and the sauna. It was near many amenities and also felt very removed. Matt’s was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our stay was perfect and the escape we hoped it would be.

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

Perfect for what we needed for a weekend getaway. So peaceful and a lot of interesting wildlife. We saw so many different types of birds! The hot tub is spacious and easy to use.

We’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs across the country and I’m not exaggerating when I say that Lydia’s place was one of the cleanest and most well-maintained homes that we’ve been in. The property and scenery are breathtaking. The numbers of birds and chipmunks that entertained us while we sat on the back deck was surprising. We ate all of our meals with the exception of lunches at the cabin and had everything we needed to prep and cook our food. This trip was all about relaxing and Lydia’s home was everything we needed.

Wonderful,private, well equipped cottage on pretty pond. Owners quick to respond to our texts. Relaxing hot tub and fantastic sauna! Many restaurants and breweries within a 30 minute drive. Book it ..... you won't wanna leave!

I spent a week at this beautiful little cabin with my two grandchildren. It was the perfect size and looks just as beautiful as the pictures inside and out. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the beds were very comfortable. The lake can be seen from the cabin and we enjoyed the dock for fishing and watching the ducks. It’s very close to town for groceries etc but very quiet and peaceful on a dead end street. Jason was very welcoming and always available for questions and quick to respond. The only thing that would have made it better for my grandkids is if there was easier access for getting into the lake with a a little beach area or a lawn that went down to the water. But if you want a quiet get away in beautiful surroundings don’t hesitate.

This place was quiet and close to the lake exactly what our group need for our yearly ice fishing trip Leslie was very responsive and easy to talk to would definitely recommend and make a return trip

We had a great stay! The house is very nice with a view of the bay and the screened in porch was an great place to be outside but away from the bugs. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet and the house had everything we needed with appropriate notes in all the right places.

This was our third stay! What a lovely place David has. Every stay gets better than the last, with David always updating and improving the property. The place is well stocked with everything you need. Plus a new clean sponge is provided! We were lucky it was available such short notice, we were at a different Airbnb that left us packing and looking for an alternative. David’s cottage stay saved our trip to Maine.

Tammy describes her sweet cottage perfectly. Water views are spectacular with options to fish off the dock, sit in the backyard to warm up or sit on the bluff to cool off. It was perfect for this girl and her dog to re-set in solitude. Most places on the water have sensitive septic as described so you want to consider that if there are more than two guests. I enjoyed my endless walks on Popham beach (no dogs 4/1-10/1)) and was thrilled to be there in the off season. I barely saw anyone! Reid State Park was also spectacular and more opportunity to walk my dog on the trails. Tick season is a bit of an adjustment every year but not a problem if you prepare yourself and your furry friends. A perfect place for a great book, wandering around historic Bath, and easy meal prep. I stayed 2 weeks and appreciated all the thought Tammy put into anticipating what a traveler might need.

Jeff’s place stood out as a beautiful relaxing and peaceful location. The cottage was exactly what was advertised. Everything we needed was available to us. Felt like our cottage in NY. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Would love to return. Response was great.

Cute and cozy for the two of us on a rainy weekend. Excellent view. Quite a bit of road noise from Route 1. Very comfortable bed and living room. Doing a puzzle at the table overlooking the water and exploring the fort. Wiscassett is cute!

Let me talk for a moment about this gem... this cabin is immaculately kept! It is really private with its own sandy beach. It's road is a dead end and there is very little traffic. The views are spectacular! The lake is quiet. Perfect for kayaking and canoeing. Bethel is nearby. The hiking trails are gorgeous! Holly is very responsive and accommodating. The cabin has a propane stove which heats the whole cabin in minutes! The loons , eagles and hummingbirds are magnificent to watch! The bed is comfotable. The kitchen is STOCKED with all the essentials to prepare any type of meal. The grill is pristine! There is plenty of seating inside and out! The firepit is gorgeous! We had a fabulous time!

Erik and Amy were behind the scenes hosts, having everything ready for us, leaving wonderful directions and creating such unique cabins and a peaceful setting. Although we only saw Amy once when she was mowing grass we knew we could call or text them any time if there were questions or concerns (which there were none). It was a perfect location for a quick long weekend get-away. We will definitely plan on stayin here again!!

We stayed at the cottage for about a week in late September and it was a perfect spot to get away from it all. The house is on a serene pond with trees reflected on the water, classic Maine. The cottage was clean and well kept with most everything you’d need. It’s in a very quiet neighborhood, so not a party spot, which worked out fine for our quiet family. We’d consider coming back to visit family. Thank you for the comfortable stay!

My family of three had a great time at this camp. It’s a lovely remote getaway and nice spot for swimming, BBQing, camp fires and has a beautiful view of Borestone Mountain.

Had an amazing stay again at Jon’s place on the ocean. Beautiful area and host is very responsive. We will be back. Highly recommend!

Very peaceful, quiet and tranquil location on the pond. House was very clean, fully stocked kitchen, great amenities and a very comfortable bed. Even left us a case of water and a Smores kit. Any questions I had were answered within minutes

Jennifer was great - had a few questions and her responses were near immediate. The place is as described- simple but comfortable and cozy for a family of 4. It rained so I cant comment on the lake activities but the fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs and a beautiful spot. hoping to go back in the summer when weather is better. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a getaway and like simplicity.

We absolutely love staying here! We come back year after year and love the cozy Maine cottage feel to this place. The perfect relaxing vacation and will definitely return for more!!

We loved it, we have stayed here in the past. We love the new kitchen island, plus the basket of snacks was very nice.

This place had everything we needed, plus a fabulous view! We only stayed one night, but I'd like to come back another time when it is warmer, to enjoy more time on the deck!
