Great Property
Riverwatch is a wonderful home near the Maine Botanical Gardens. We stay in Boothbay often and this is one of the nicest properties we have stayed at. It was immaculate and had all the amenities you could ask for. We enjoyed cooking our Thanksgiving dinner in the beautiful kitchen. The management crew even left us a Thanksgiving dinner setup. We bring our own, but the thoughtfulness was much appreciated. The property has many beautiful views and is close to the Harbor. The owners should taken pride in having made this such a welcoming place for visitors. We look forward to visiting again in the future.
Spent an excellent 4 days at this property. Just wanted a place to hang our head in the Boothbay area, but what we got was so much more. The house itself was quite enjoyable - due to it's quaint decor and comfortable feel. Fabulous place to stay, in a very nice area.

Riverwatch get away
Rented Riverwatch for an end of summer getaway for our family of 4. Was the perfect size for our family. The bedrooms were beautiful and cozy, the entire houses decor was perfect. We loved walking down to the dock to watch the sunset. It is a bit away from the center of things, but it was only about a 10 minute drive into town. The other thing was that I assumed Being on the water there would be a small beach nearby but there is no entry point to the water on that street. Had a bit of an issue getting into the property which was quickly addressed but would be helpful to add the lock instructions to the welcome email. We had a wonderful time exploring the area and can’t wait to return!!

Lovely stay
The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. Really nicely decorated. Beautiful view. We enjoy cooking and baking and found the kitchen to be well stocked. Loved cooking with a water view. We also enjoyed a few lobster dinners on the porch. We appreciated the games and puzzles.
