Hidden Gem on Westport Island

Welcome to Mid-Coast Maine! Our island house has woodsy privacy, a lovely water view and access to our dock on the Sheepscot River...all within a 10 minute drive from Route 1. The path to the dock is steep, but we use it regularly and are in our 60s and 70s. Inside our house, we have a queen bedroom on the first floor and a double bedroom and a twin bedroom upstairs. We can privately sleeps 5 but a 6th space is available on a comfortable twin pull-out couch in our upstairs loft. We keep our fully equipped kitchen with oven, stovetop, microwave, toaster, coffee maker stocked with cooking basics like: olive oil, vinegar, spices, flour, sugar as well as tea and coffee . We have two full bathrooms and a washer/dryer if you need it.
Our spacious deck overlooking the Sheepscot River provides glorious views. Many birds live in our area - including a pileated woodpecker!
We provide a 2-person canoe, a single kayak and a 2-person sit-on-top type ocean kayak. We also provide a charcoal grill with necessary grilling tools. Our yard is shady with grass for a good place to use our various balls, frisbees and even a corn hole game. We have our yard and periphery treated with an organic mosquito and tick repellent to help reduce these summertime pests.
Two sandy ocean beaches and one lake beach, along with many shops, restaurants and galleries are within 30 minutes from Rocky Road. Portland, the largest city near us, is an easy hour's drive with all of its cultural offerings.

Truly incredible getaway
Our experience at this cottage was among the best we've ever had. The house itself was appointed with everything you could want, and more. It was relaxing, inviting, charming, gorgeous (inside and out), and accessible to town while still feeling totally remote. We loved hearing loons down the river at night, and grilling local fish every day. The water in the river is highly invigorating to swim in! Having access to a canoe was so much fun for our family. We can't say enough good things about this incredible place. It's not often that we really want to go back to the same place, but with this spot, we do.

Restful retreat
Our recent stay was perfect! This home is beautiful and well equipped, neat and clean as you walk in the door. We pent our mornings in the sunroom or in the deck watching fish jump or lobstermen checking their traps, enjoying the outdoors. This home is well located for day trips to other midcoast towns and a sweet retreat at the end of a busy day. Looking forward to our next stay!

Late Summer Stay on Mid-Coast Maine

Absolutely Magnificent Accommodations
This was a trip to celebrate our 36th anniversary and this home was more than perfect for our week stay. Beautiful views of the sheepscot river and surrounding woodlands full of ferns, wild blueberries, pine & oak trees. Just a short walk across the island to a lobster coop where we got our live lobsters for dinner. The lovely home had everything to make us comfortable and a great selection of puzzles! We definitely hope to return and highly recommend this hidden gem on an island
