About this cottage rental

Overlooking the scenic Kennebec River, this quaint New England cottage named the "Frost House" is a lovingly restored historic home with unique charm. The back deck offers breathtaking river views, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a peaceful sunset night. Inside, the home is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully decorated with hand-picked antique furnishings from Maine and beyond, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The upstairs master suite includes a space to relax and an upgraded bathroom. Located in a quiet, walkable neighborhood, it’s just steps from historic downtown Bath’s shops, restaurants, and waterfront attractions. With clean, spacious bedrooms and a serene setting, this home is a perfect Maine getaway.

Background on the home:
The Frost House sits on the site of a previously working shipyard, one of several in Bath that produced US-made boats and navy vessels. The site is now part of a development project aimed at rejuvenating the unused land and bringing mixed-use community back to Bath's waterfront. The dining room of the Frost House functions as a showroom for the project but guests are welcome to eat at the table and take a look at the architectural plans.

Quaint home in the quaintest New England village. Comfortable beds and a kitchen well equipped with everything we needed.

If you love coastal Maine but have had enough of overcrowded tourist meccas, Bath is the town to visit. And if you enjoy staying in older homes where everything works, sleeping comfortably in a quiet and safe part of town, watching the moon rise over the Kennebec River from a very private deck, this house is perfect. Very easy walking to the small but sufficient commercial part of town. Wonderful Maine Maritime Museum that has to be experienced to be believed. And short drives to Freeport, Portland, or Wiscasset (Red’s and Sprague’s have the best lobster rolls). Ultra-prompt replies to any questions we sent to Host. We would definitely return.

Nice quiet street that's walking distance to downtown. The back patio facing the water was so relaxing. Beds were comfortable. Water pressure was awesome. I spent way too much time looking at the wonderful memorabilia everywhere.

Cute house with lovely view of the Kennebunk River. Small deck overlooks river. Unfortunately, there's uncomfortable furniture and a bright motion detector light, so in the evening you can't have it dark & look at stars. It is a natural setting to have a path to the river but there isn't one. The kitchen is the only room with a table to eat on. The dining room is set up & being used as owners office. The kitchen has very little counter space, making it difficult to prepare & cook meals. Because of covid, we had planned to cook our meals, but the kitchen is very ill equipped. We couldn't find a baking pan for the oven- no colander, no extra large pot for lobsters. And, the fridge is quite small. We were disappointed. Very nice full bathroom upstairs. The twin beds are extremely comfortable, however, the double bed in the master is not. On the whole the house was not what we expected.
