Wiscasset House | Comfortable, quiet island home for a relaxing and fun-filled vacation

3 Bedroom House in Wiscasset, Westport Island

Comfortable, open 1500 s.f. home on the quiet, north end of Westport Island near Wiscasset, "The Prettiest Village in Maine". Enjoy the day's first cup of coffee from the raised deck while watching the sun rise over the glistening waters of the Sheepscott River. Listen to the whispering pines, lobster boats tending traps and the call of seabirds. Relax on the deck, new 10' x 20' float or take a walk to the nearby lobster coop and carry back dinner. The island has three preserves for hiking and picnicking. You're just a few minutes from coastal Route 1 where you can rent kayaks and canoes, shop for groceries, play at Monkey See, Monkey Do (look it up), visit Bath and Boothbay Harbor, Maine Maritime Museum, eat at any one of several highly-reviewed, nearby restaurants. It's a great spot to launch a day trip to Freeport and Camden. Fish, swim or put in your kayak or canoe from the new dock (FYI - dock float sits on “mud” at dead low tide for a total of about three hours daily - 1.5 hours per low tide). The hillside leading to the dock is steep, but steps are broad with a bench on a platform half way up/down or two. Settle in and enjoy the amenities: wifi, smart tv, large-capacity washer and dryer, fully-stocked newly remodeled kitchen, linens, hair dryer, iron and board, alarm clock, showers and a tub, dishwasher, microwave and toaster oven, gas grill and coffee maker. The master bedroom has its own bathroom and door that leads out to a secluded, seashore garden with Adirondack chairs. The private and spacious loft sleeps two with seating for reading and relaxing. Another first-floor bedroom also sleeps two. Enjoy riverviews while you dine - rain or shine - from the deck or dining room. There is a well-established and wide variety of shrubs and flowers around the house and here and there on the hillside. Keep an eye out for fox, bald and golden eagles, osprey and seals. Watch the nine foot tides come and go. Westport Isle of View has much to offer. Come see for yourself. Please note: Blink smart cameras are positioned to provide surveillance views of driveway approach and waterside main deck/living room door. These are only activated before guests arrive and after check out.

Summary: This property was very commodious on one floor with two bedrooms and two baths, a big living room with a TV overlooking the river and a large kitchen with dining area dining table. There was a deck with a grill the appliances, although new were difficult to manage as was the TV and the heating system, but with the owners help, we were able to get them operating For our comfort The house is difficult to access for older people with stone steps and a staircase with 12 stairs, which we didn’t anticipate. There’s a nice nice dock, but the staircase down the hillside was very precipitous and unacceptable for us. House is on Westport Island, and remote to other areas for sightseeing. It’s nestled in the woods and if you like seclusion, it’s for you. The host was very helpful with problems that arose in the house like a leaking toilet and a TV we couldn’t get to Work The best lobster Was that Georgetown on the dock at five Islands lobster. The most scenic places we saw were the scenic drive on East Boothbay and Reid State Park. This week has arts festival that’s fun to go to and the Farnsworth Museum and many art galleries in Bath Brunswick, Camden and Edgecombe. The Thomaston prison shop and the town of Rockport are also very special places. Captain fishes Boat ride on Boothbay Harbor is very educational and a lot of fun. Nothing beats the fresh air in of maine

Summary: My wife and I stayed in Tim and Faith's home for the month of July, 2024, as a present to each other for our 25th anniversary. The home was very clean, comfortable, well-provisioned for cooking. We felt right at home. It was also conveniently located to several nearby towns (Wiscassett, Bath, Brunswick, Newcastle, Damariscotta, and Boothbay). We enjoyed many nearby activities and attractions, including Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Maine Maritime Museum, Capitol Park in Augusta, walking up and down the road from the house to the tip of Westport Island, walking on many other nearby trails on conserved properties, bargain hunting at Renys, perusing used books at Skidompha Secondhand Bookshop. We also enjoyed eating out at Taste of Maine (seafood and bread pudding), Montsweag (baked haddock), Moody's Diner (the best blueberry pancakes anywhere). Cooks Landing (Pizza and live music), and Ginger Mousse Bakery (anything they make). However, the activities and food we enjoyed most were sitting on the deck overlooking the river in the afternoons and eating dinner on the deck out night. You cannot beat the view this home has, as it is situated in the tree canopy overlooking the Sheepscot River with abundant wildlife and boats of all kinds passing by. Skip the high prices for lobster at restaurants. Instead, buy them at Simmons Seafood Market, Shaws, or Hannafords, cook them at home, and have lobster rolls on the deck with the best view anywhere!

Summary: My husband and I had an amazing stay at Tim and Faiths lovely cottage on the Sheepscot river. We had the best weather and enjoyed coffee on the deck and lazy days on the dock, just sitting and watching boats go by. We were even lucky enough to see a Whale on our last day! Which is definitely not a normal occurrence. Note that the stairs are steep too get down to the dock, it’s a mini little workout :). The house has everything you need to cook dinner, which we did most nights. The area is perfect for day trips to Camden, boothbay, Monehegan Island (highly recommend if you like to hike), and quick trips for groceries in Wiscasset. Note in the off season lots of places are closed Mon-Wed. and places close early. Maine tasting room was a lovely find, Odd Alewives in Waldoboro, and Pemiquid seafood in New Harbor has a great lobster roll (it’s about 20 -30 mins). Thank you for letting us stay at your perfectly situated cottage!

Summary: Everything was great! Not a place for little children due to the steep staircase down to the dock! I used it for daily exercise😂! Otherwise great for a central place to go on day trips from.

Summary: What a wonderful vacation location! Peaceful setting with water views from a gorgeous deck and many rooms throughout the house. Immaculate with a brand new kitchen, and all of the comforts of home! Great to relax on the deck or on the dock but also fantastic location for visiting many of Maine’s attractions and towns, such as Wiscasset, Portland, Damariscotta, Boothbay Harbor, and Freeport. Added bonus was the lobster co-op just a five minute walk away, where we were able to purchase lobsters from the boat to be prepared for our table! Thank you, Tim and Faith. Looking forward to returning in the future!

Summary: This wonderful home is half cabin/half summer home, possessing both charm and modern amenities. It is located on a very quiet river, perfect for relaxation, yet an hour away from Portland and Rockland/Camden. The best part of the stay are the owners Faith and Tim who are always available only when you need them.

Summary: This is a well-appointed home with newly updated kitchen and plenty of room for meals with family living nearby. There’s an osprey nest on the river buoy and a visiting bald eagle, along with the pleasant chug of lobster boats. Lobster co-op on the island is a great place to get the freshest lobster. Peaceful, private, and yet close enough to fun little towns like Wiscasset, Damariscotta, and Boothbay Harbor - and Pemaquid Point Light.

Summary: Nice, comfortable house. We all enjoyed our stay very much. We took day trips to Boothbay Harbour, Rockland, Camden, and Augusta. Several nice restaurants even allowed dogs so we could bring our pup with us. The house was well appointed, we really lacked nothing. The house was also very tidy. Very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful views from the deck. Would definitely recommend.
