Vacation at this Westport Island deep waterfront Red Cedar Timberframe Home, built in 2004, on 6 acres of woods. Spectacular views of Sheepscot River and Upper Sheepscot Bay! Enjoy watching sunrises from the huge deck and screened-in porch, as low-flying osprey and eagles pass before you along the river. Home is just steps away from a private, deepwater dock with 2 moorings. Bring your own boat or kayak or rent one nearby and explore the local waters, islands and nearby Boothbay Harbor while seals surround you. These waters include some of the world's finest striped bass fishing! Explore the woods around you, or hike, bike, and enjoy nearby nature preserves, Reid State Park or Popham Beach. Watch the lobster boats hauling in their catch, while sailboats catch favorable winds along the riverfront. Enjoy bike rides on quiet dirt roads, and eat dinner outside on the deck under the stars or on the screened in Porch. Enjoy the nearby towns of Wiscasset, Bath, and Boothbay Harbor

Westport Island is a bridge-accessible island. Home is of timberframe construction with main level, deck and screened-in porch wheelchair-accessible. House and natural garden chosen to be one of only nine featured on 2008 Garden Club of Wiscasset tour of Westport Island gardens and homes. 'Green-friendly' home: grid-tied solar panels on roof provide supplemental power; super-insulated walls, roof and windows keep house cool in summer and warm in winter; floors and ceilings made from recycled wood; and property features native Maine plantings, including abundant wild Maine blueberry plants, with no pesticides used.

Hike or mountain bike (with mountain bikes on the property) on nearby trails and dirt roads and explore island interior. Sit on the dock and watch seals and harbor porpoises swim by. Ospreys and eagles fly by all summer, fishing in the river to feed their young on nearby nests.

Nice location

4 of 5
Submitted: October 5, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
This is a nice home and a great location. We liked it because it was out of town away from traffic and congestion, but yet close enough to some small towns. Perfect for the dogs without having to worry, they loved the dock and were swimming within the first fifteen minutes. The nearby towns were great to visit and I loved being only 45 minutes from Freeport. The house was clean and equipped with needed kitchen items such as a pot for lobsters. Also a nice big grill on the deck. Very peaceful. Love Maine.

Great time!

5 of 5

We had such a wonderful time! The house is beautiful and was very comfortable for our family of 5. It also included a crib, highchair and baby gates which came in handy with our 1 year old. The house was clean, well maintained, and had everything to make a comfortable stay. We also enjoyed the back deck which included a grill and big table. In the mornings we would take a bagel down to the dock to enjoy the view and the quiet water.
We went on daily adventures to some nearby towns. Some highlights were Boothbay Harbor, Darmariscotta, and Wiscasset. We found some wonderful lobster shacks and did some great antiquing.
It was a relaxing, peaceful, fun vacation.

A Great Stay

5 of 5
Submitted: August 14, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Our expectations were exceeded once we walked into the home! The website descriptions were spot on but you are not able to get a true sense of the tranquility of the house until you step through the door. The home is very tastefully decorated with spa like bathrooms. All of the ammenenities are provided for you, including some kid friendly items like a child gate on the stairs. The two porches (one is screened in, which is really nice) are a wonderful way to enjoy an early morning cup of coffee or an evening cocktail. The grounds are beautiful landscape complete with quintessental blueberry bushes. We had access to a boat which was great fun to explore the nearby islands, otherwise you can drive but expect to have about a 20 minute car ride. We had a great lunch at the Montsweag Roadhouse and ordered steamed lobsters from Simpsons.
We would highly recomend this home!

As beautiful as the pictures and descriptions

5 of 5
Submitted: December 6, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
My family vacationed here over the summer and we were happy to find that the house and descriptions were remarkably accurate! The house is beautiful and clean, a pleasure to call home for a week. We took daily excursions to surrounding towns and were never bored or without something to keep us busy. The area surrounding the house is beautiful for adventuring as well. As mentioned in another review, it is a 20 minute ride one way should you need anything-food, medications, beverages, etc., so plan accordingly. We would definitely be happy to vacation here again.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner our last night at the Squire Tarbox Inn and would recommend it.

I would NOT recommend fishing with Sweet Action Charters, a disappointing waste of a LOT of money!

fabulous maine house with taste!

5 of 5
Submitted: November 13, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
this house was perfect for our vacation with our east coast friends. it had plenty of space, was well kept, and was close enough to nature and towns. the layout of the house is as pictures show and the deck space was added bonus to our time spent there. island has great scenery for nice walks/runs and the ocean is literally right there! my techie friends were a bit disappointed by the router and size of the tv, but that wasn't our main reason for being there. the views are spectacular and the house was very very comfortable. the kitchen has all the tools you will need to cook with...even if you want to make cookies. lastly, the bathrooms were amazing!
i would reccomend this house everyone!
