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.




The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

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.

Quiet Slice of Heaven

Had a great week’s stay at Rocky Road. Location is private, quiet and remote, nestled in the woods, but centrally located by many hiking trails, attractions and restaurants within a short drive. The view of the river was incredible. My favorite spot was the sunroom early in the morning and watching the boats go by sipping mimosas in complete peace and quiet. Everything you need is available to you. Air conditioning was a plus since there was a heat wave for a few days. Beds are comfortable and many games available to pick from. A small trail at the end of the road within walking distance was a nice bonus after dinner without having to leave by car. The path to the river and dock is steep but doable and amazing for watching sunrises. Carol was very responsive with any questions. Had no issues with the house and felt as though we owned the place. Thanks for a wonderful stay Carol.

Relaxing stay

The house was lovely and well appointed. It felt like you were far from everything but then a short drive gets you to different kinds of places. Peaceful and relaxing to listen to the sounds of the woods, trails nearby, kayaking whenever you want at the house’s dock. Everyone enjoyed it.

A Wonderful Cottage in a Great Location

This was our second stay at this vrbo. Wonderful view of the river, The most well equipped kitchen of any place we have stayed in Maine. Carol is a great host. Highly responsive to anything we need.

Truly incredible getaway

Our experience at this cottage was among the best we've ever had. The house itself was appointed with everything you could want, and more. It was relaxing, inviting, charming, gorgeous (inside and out), and accessible to town while still feeling totally remote. We loved hearing loons down the river at night, and grilling local fish every day. The water in the river is highly invigorating to swim in! Having access to a canoe was so much fun for our family. We can't say enough good things about this incredible place. It's not often that we really want to go back to the same place, but with this spot, we do.

Lovely Cottage, Beautiful View

The cottage is in a wonderful location overlooking the Sheepscot River. We enjoyed the short walk to the Clough Preserve where we saw over fifty Lady Slippers among the ferns and trees. There are many nice outdoor spaces including a front lawn and a large deck facing the water. The sunroom was a great space to enjoy morning coffee or to read a book on a rainy afternoon.

Homey Get-Away Cabin

My husband and I with our two teenagers were very comfortable and happy while staying at the cabin. I like that each of the kids had separate bedroom. The view was breath taken and it was very quiet the whole time we were there. My favorite feature was the full-size kitchen with plenty of cookware and condiments, especially many Asian kind. Carol was very attractive in communication and making sure we could get help and support if needed. The entertainment, such as board games and TV app, was provided and it was great. Hot water was impressively hot and almost instant. With permission, we were able to host our small family gathering for a wonderful family lunch. We are very happy with our trip and definitely will return to this vacation cabin in the future. :)
