About this property
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.

We wish we had more time to hang out here! We loved the water views and the sunroom. The bedrooms were cute and beds were comfortable. The hang-out area with books, games and puzzles was a nice bonus. Would love to stay again!
Wonderful property! I was alone so the second floor went unused, but would be an awesome place for a family to stayWell-located to get to Wiscasset, Woolwich, Bath, and other destinations.

Thanks so much - it was a pleasure to host you! Please come again!
We enjoyed our stay and the hosts had so many thoughtful little touches (like kids toys and kitchen items). The deck view and the dock were one of our favorite parts of our trip. Highly recommend staying here.
We rented for a girl's family vacation. It was a great base location for our trip. It was very well stocked with everything you could think of needing. We were able to relax in the evening with puzzles and a movie. Highly recommended. Communication was excellent!
We had a wonderful time at Rocky Road! The house is wonderfully clean, and has everything you could need. We really enjoyed canoeing, and watching the world go by from the deck. We can't wait to go back!
Our stay was fabulous. Our favorite part of the day was to wake up and go out on the back porch with coffee in hand and enjoy the beautiful view. There were a number of times that we saw deer and raccoons. I couldn't even tell you how many different birds we saw. Carol even provided binoculars for bird viewing. Nice touch! Thank you Carol for a wonderful stay.
Beautiful tranquil setting. Host was friendly and helpful. Views of the river are spectacular with a big deck and sunroom to take advantage of the views. I would LOVE to return.
This house was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway with friends. Carol was very responsive and answered all questions in a timely manner. House was well equipped with everything that we needed. Highly recommend staying here!
Great location! Easy access to Route 1 while secluded with a nice overview of the water. Walk to trails along the river with great birds and wildlife including seals on seal rock. Very comfortable house with all the amenities needed.
The house and location were beautiful. Clean and well stocked with all the essentials. The hosts were great and readily available. Would definitely recommend!
