RIVER HOUSE. Cozy Maine home. River view. Minutes from ocean, lighthouses.
River house has a loving and welcoming vibe! Love nature? Enjoy incredible sunsets from River house's upper level , a backyard that stretches forever into fields and woods. Stretch out in the sand, take a swim or climb the broad ledges of rocks on any of three nearby beaches. Beautiful Arcadia national park makes for a good day trip. Want to experience coastal seafood? It's minutes away in any direction from fine restaurants to great little carry-outs like the Owls Head General Store and the owner's favorite Rockland's Rock City Cafe. Like adventure? Book a ride on a schooner. Take a Rockport Harbor cruise. Take a ferry and spend an afternoon on a variety of islands. Visit Marshall Point lighthouse and see where Tom Hanks ended his run in the movie Forrest Gump. Climb Mount Batty for an incredible view of the Gulf of Maine. Like art? Visit the Farnsworth museum and experience the art of the Wyeth family or the many art shops lining Rockland's main street. Enjoy winter? Come relax with a cup of tea while the snow falls. Winter fun? Enjoy skiing and snowboarding at The Camden Snowbowl while taking in the ocean views, checking out The U.S National Toboggan Races in February, snow-shoeing or cross country skiing at The Camden Hills state park or enjoy something more relaxing like a show at The Camden Opera House. When the day is done and the sun has set wish for a full moon that you can watch dance across the bay and stretch its way out to sea. This is our Happy Place and we love to share it with you!

Love the three full bathrooms!!!Each space is private so although I was there with my whole family we still had privacy. The kitchen was amazing and loved that the TVs were on mobile stands so could move to wherever we wanted them.Hosts were so receptive and welcoming. I’ll definitely come back!
I would just suggest something to make the driveway. It’s kind of hidden and traffic comes fast down that road!! Overall the place was amazing and we loved it!
Beautiful, comfortable and clean. All updated and plenty of space. Kitchen stocked with everything needed. Nice backyard and beautiful view of the SaltWater Field property with water views and sunsets. We enjoyed watching fireworks from the upstairs deck over the river. Three bed and three bath was great for room and privacy. Out family loved this house!
Very helpful host with sparkling clean property. Comfortable and spacious, perfect for our family reunion which was a great success; we all enjoyed all aspects of the house and grounds.
The property was close to everything and so comfortable. We had two couples but could comfortably sleep more. All three bathrooms had large showers and were roomy. Beds were very comfortable. Would stay again in a minute and recommend highly.
This property was perfect for our group of six adults. Plenty of space, every couple had their own bathroom and personal space. Perfect gathering areas, everything there that we could have ever wanted!
We loved our stay here. House is very clean and well stocked. We had one minor issue due to Mother Nature but owner was VERY responsive and quick to address the issue. Owner showed up at the house late at night and early next morning to make sure everything was ok. Super friendly. Good location from Portland and Bar Harbor. Would stay here again. Highly recommend.
