About this property

This large cottage is located on a secluded half mile peninsula in the mid coast region of Maine known for its beautiful sandy beaches and picturesque fishing villages.

There is a hiking trail along water's edge and also kayaks or canoes for rent to explore the waterways.

The sunroom offers dining with 180° water views. The family room is a great place to relax separate from the main living area. Two of the bedrooms have water views and adjoining baths (one is on the first floor). The deck wraps around the home and leads down to a private dock.

One bedroom offers a queen size bed, there is a full size bed in the second bedroom and the third has two twin beds. Additionally the family room has a pullout queen and it can be completely shut off for privacy. The Summer House has it's own washer and dryer.

For those who desire to stay 'plugged in' we offer basic television channels and wifi.

The kitchen is complete with full size refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, toaster and coffee pot not to mention all the pots, pans, dishes and utensils you will need. If you enjoy to BBQ there is a gas grill just outside the front door. For lobster lovers we have a large pot available for you to cook them fresh in your cottage.

The Midcoast area of Maine is known for its miles of white sandy beaches and Lobster wharfs where you can enjoy their famous lobster dinners on the dock as you watch the lobstermen bringing in their catch for the day. What makes the midcoast so appealing is the fact that you get to enjoy all this without the crowds. You will love the slower pace of life and the pristine beauty of this untouched area.

Incredible Location, Rental, View of River

Our week at the Summer House in Georgetown, ME was delightful from start to finish! The cottage was very up to date, comfortable, and well stocked!!! The kitchen was well stocked with apliances and pots/pans. The dishes were the best we've ever had in a short time rental! The manager was in touch to determine if we needed anything (we didn't!). The view of the Back River was enhanced by all the windows! We loved the ease of renting kayaks. All of us enjoyed every day thanks to the SummerHouse and its management as our home for a week. We hope to return!!! We recommend with no reservations to guests who want a very special cottage!!!

Great Spot

We enjoyed our stay at the Summer Home. It was a great launching point by land and by water, and Katie was exceedingly responsive and attentive.

Good location, a few challenges

We have stayed here before and found it to be a good experience, and it was overall as the location is wonderful, the dining space works really well for meals and games, the deck is wonderful, and the space is private. However, the house is becoming more dated, particularly the kitchen with hodgepodge of very old dishes, pots, and pans, not very many mugs or glasses and not organized well. The dishwasher is VERY old and coupled with the salty water, dishes never feel very clean. There were only a few rolls of toilet paper, one roll of paper towels and very little laundry soap provided, and that is with the expectation that sheets and towels are washed by us upon departure (which we knew, but could not do) and the knowledge that there were 6 of us. We had an issue with the 2nd floor shower leaking through to the 1st floor on day 2, so it became unusable for the remainder of the trip and 6 people had to then use one shower. We really are a low key family who do not like to complain, so we managed it well, but we would not have chosen this house with only one shower available to us. The property manager was contacted and responded, but it was then another few days, at our prompting, before we knew that it would not be addressed during out stay. We did receive some financial compensation for our inconvenience.

Peace and quiet

Summer house sits at the point where the view is so spectacular you won't want to leave the deck. We loved the privacy, peace and quiet this house gave us and the kayaking was wonderful. Sitting and watching the sunrise, listening to the birds sing and fish jump was the favorite part of each day. We even were visited by a little seal each day. LOVED THIS PLACE!!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Francis

We, Sam and Ruth Francis, are the owners and hosts of eight rental properties in Georgetown, Maine. We have four wonderful grown sons and are proud grandparents. We worked for years to finish our timber frame dream home at the tip of the peninsula. We have past the property management part of the cottages to our son, Chris and his wife, Katie.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this unique fifty acre property with its half mile long peninsula over thirty years ago. Since then we have lived here and operated a traditional wooden boat shop. Over the years we have built six charming cottages, as well as, converted a Sailor's Loft to a rental with breathtaking, panoramic views. We also, offer the home that we first built and lived in to renters, with it's ideal location at the tip of the peninsula with deep water frontage and a private dock. We have added other touches to our property with a garden house, ten slip boat dock, a hiking trail and clearings for fishing and picnics.

What makes this property unique

The cottages are situated to allow privacy but also to maintain the quality of the open, natural spaces. Each cottage overlooks the marsh and adjacent Back River which flows off the mighty Kennebec River and nature conservancy land beyond.
