The property was well-kept and a great base point for the area. The view of the water from the living room and kitchen was beautiful and the home was comfortable. We enjoyed our stay! Minutes from Boothbay town center and the Botanical Gardens, it was in a great location too.

Great little cottage in a great location!

This cottage looked exactly like it did online, inside and out, which is not always the case with rentals. It was very clean and the outside landscaping made it very welcoming. We were also pleased with the location, because it was close to everything we wanted to do and see in Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor.

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.

Wonderful!

We had a short but sweet stay at Riverwatch, stopping for a few nights as we were exploring coastal Maine. The cottage is beautiful and had everything we needed and more for our short stay. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed watching the sunset and viewing wildlife from the Adirondack chairs in the yard and from the front window. The neighborhood is quiet and everywhere we wanted to go in the area was just a short drive away. We will definitely stay again if we ever make it back to this area!

Modern charm in bucolic natural setting

Modern, yet spacious and very cozy. Wooded location with lovely water views. Very quiet. Walking distance to great hiking trails. Just a couple minute drive to many scenic Land Trust sites and to shoppes and restaurants of Booth Bay Harbor village. House is well stocked kitchenwise. Linens and towels quite luxe. Everything about the property feels fresh and new. Loved it.

Review of Riverwatch

We loved the house, the location (wonderful view of river, quiet, good places to walk and hike nearby, close to site on river where you can launch boat/kayak or canoe and close to botanical garden). Down side of house: toilet seat broken (took 3 days of calling to get it repaired), dishwasher worked once and then stopped working, smoke detector on second floor went off 3 times in the middle of the night for no reason at all.

A Great Home Base!

This was our first trip to Maine and to Boothbay. We had a wonderful visit! The house is perfect for two couples or a small family. We made a day trip to Acadia and Bar Harbor, although if you want to make a long day of it, staying a night closer to the park would be ideal. Boothbay Harbor is such a cute town! Picked up some great gifts. We cooked lobster two nights at Riverwatch. Buy your lobsters at Trevett Market! We ate there three times! Clam strips were amazing. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable.

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.
