Serenity in the woods

My son and I loved our stay at this beautiful home, so much so that my son has ideas of building one similar to the layout to this beautiful home of Barry’s. Our dog loved going for walks up and down the driveway with his dad. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet location to unwind.

Great time away

We absolutely loved this property! It was very clean dispite some other reviews. Very quiet and tucked away. We were at peace the whole trip! The entryway does have a lip to it but as soon as you realize walking around it becomes second nature. Beautiful house, beautiful property, beautiful lake. It was the perfect location for our honeymoon and very greatful pets are allowed. The 2 dogs and us had a great time! Beautiful area. We found a lot of nice driving locations through limerick. Barry is a great property owner. He got back to us very quickly even though it was a very awkward time to call someone. Thank you for our great stay!!

Maine Experience

Loved the place, very cool and unique. Loved sitting by the fire and walking to the river. Had everything we needed. Was off the beaten path but we really liked that. The owner was amazing and responded to any questions promptly. Had everything we needed for our family trip!

Quiet getaway

The property was tucked away in the woods which gave us the quiet getaway we desired. But was close to Portland where we visited great restaurants, entertainment and shopping. We also enjoyed hikes and the local orchards. A wonderful trip would highly recommend this location!!!

Peace and Quiet in Unique Property

We had a really good stay at Stille Wasser. Kitchen is nicely appointed with high end appliances, and since my husband and I like to cook, we really enjoyed these upgrades. Bed is comfortable and there are plenty of extra linens. That said, we agree with other reviewers regarding lots of cobwebs throughout the house and the tripping hazards in the entryway and front stairs. Setting is peaceful and quiet. It rained during our stay so we didn't get to experience the river. Barry is a 5 star host!! Communication was excellent.
