Experience spectacular river views from nearly every room of this completely renovated, large, comfortable home in downtown Wiscasset. Enjoy breezy space, light, and comfort in this stylish combination of traditional and modern design in an 1800s house. While steps from freshly shucked Maine oysters or the world-famous Red's Eats Lobster Roll.

Entertain in the beautiful all-new gourmet kitchen with a large wooden island, where everyone can cook, eat, and relax while one step from both outdoor decks. Bountifully stocked with a brand new Cafe range with a double oven, a Panasonic microwave, and new tools and stainless steel cookware.

Bedrooms are bright and airy, with expansive views of the Sheepscot River estuary and its spectacular sunrises and fading evening light. The third floor is a large, modern, open loft space that feels like its own apartment overlooking the river from above. There are multiple spaces for communal gathering throughout, while plenty of room to retreat for privacy as well. Air conditioning, private washer/dryer, 3 1/2 bathrooms - 2 1/2 completely brand new, and all feature walk-in showers. Includes two decks with a river view, a new gas grill, and easy access to the community.

Easy stroll to all downtown shops and restaurants in lovely Wiscasset, while only a quick drive away for discovery along the prime Midcoast from Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens to Pemaquid Point Lighthouse and more.

Sheepscot River Perch
We loved the home. The kitchen is well stocked. The appliances and fixtures, from plumbing to lighting are all modern and in great shape. The home is very clean and welcoming. The view of the river/ocean is lovely, peaceful. There are plenty of gathering spaces, both indoors and out, perfect with a large group. Downtown is nearby and easily walkable. The historic district has informational markers on the important homes in the area. If we have an opportunity to return with a large group again, this will be our first choice!

An Absolutely Great Stay
My group of eight had an absolutely great stay here. The entire house felt fresh and new, and was spotless when we arrived. The bedrooms and beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen is extremely well-stocked with cooking supplies, which was very welcome. The house is an easy walk down the street from downtown Wiscasset, which boasts two excellent lobster shacks. (Pro tip: Red's Eats is the place which has received the most publicity, but Sprague's Lobster is just as good, and usually has a much shorter line.) The property manager was very helpful and available, at one point in our stay calling to ask how everything was, and to let us know that more cooking implements were being dropped off. Very appreciated. Highly recommended - thanks for a great stay!

Disliked: Communication
No one works anymore.
Ok, but no easy contact to inform about poor draining toilet and broken coffee pot. Called someone in India, was disconnected, therefore PIA to communicate with someone about the property.

Beautiful midcoast vacation spot!
The Sheepscott River Perch has spectacular water views and is right in the heart of Wiscasset, a picturesque village in Maine with lovely shops and art galleries. In the morning you can walk to Treats for coffee and the best baked goods. For lunch, you can walk down the block to the famous Red's Eats for a lobster roll. And for dinner, it's a short walk to the lovely Water Street Kitchen and Bar for a delicious dinner. Beyond these walkable destinations, Wiscasset is the perfect spot to drive to many gorgeous midcoast Maine attractions. The house is spacious, well appointed, and has everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing stay. The beds are super comfortable, the bathrooms are modern and clean, and the kitchen is setup to cook amazing meals for your family and/or friends. We loved our time there and give Sheepscott River Perch our highest recommendation to any family or group wanting a beautiful space to stay in midcoast Maine.

Family Wedding
We loved this house. We were in Maine for a wedding and this was perfect for the family and accommodate us all. Great bedrooms and beds and plenty of space for seating and mingling. There are plenty of bathrooms for all guests. The loft bedroom was great and spacious for getting ready. We definitely recommend!

Wiscasett home by the river
We very much enjoyed the large home for an extended family vacation. It was a very nice home. It is air conditioned but we shared with the owner that it would be a very good enhancement to add ceiling fans in the LR, Dining Room, TV Room, and 3rd floor. Cool air would recirculate better. Otherwise, we thought the home was a very good remodel of a 200 year old home and would definitely recommend and stay again.

What an absolute treat!
As if the stunning, unobstructed views of the Sheepscot weren’t enough to make your heart sing, this recently renovated house is fully set up for you to enjoy a truly splendid retreat. The owner has clearly very thoughtfully curated… everything. From furnishings to fixtures, exceptionally placed (and beautiful) lighting and plush (organic!?) beds and bedding. Not to mention the high vibe, very good energy in the old house. You will find yourself quite happily settling into the sweet town of Wiscasset, feeling grateful for and filled up by this wonderful gift you’ve treated yourself and your people to. Don’t pass up the opportunity to stay here; you won’t regret it!
