About this house rental
a modern, casual, open plan home on a river - nature preserve across the river, nature preserve to the south as well. enjoy a dock, warmer than open ocean river, a six foot tide, herons, ospreys and maybe a sturgeon. house has a big screened porch for sunset evenings. nearby are Reid and Popham Beach State Parks with their sandy beaches and Five Islands with its dockside lobster shack. there is a main house with LR, Kitchen, DR, screened porch, woodstove, MBR and Guestroom - across a deck is the guesthouse and garage with a screened second story porch (a sleeping porch for overflow guests) and two more guest bedrooms. we have a dock about a hundred yard walk through the woods. we use the dock for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, sitting around. if you paddle acrss the river their is a picnic island with rocks to jump off at high tide.
new fiber optic internet service!! (so new I have not used it myself yet - I will post speeds as soon as I know them but expect fast!)
my sister and i designed the house and forced the builders to hire us to build it as well. we designed it for comfortable but casual living, bare feet, big meals, corners to read in or play games. the house is on Georgetown Island at the end of a mile long dirt road and is situated right on the Back River.
within ten minute drives are Reid Sate Park - beautiful mile long beach with rocks and waves and a lagoon for young children. at the end of one of their beaches is a tidal river that makes for great floating. a few minutes beyond that is Five Islands Lobster for a picture perfect (stomach perfect) lobster on a working dock.
Freeport for shopping is 25 mins away. The Maine Maritime Museum is located in Bath and is a great rainy or sunny day activity.

The photos don't do justice to the beautiful view from the house and the general setting. The primary living area in the main house is also a fantastic spot for family and friends to gather. The owner also gave us some great tips -like pick your own oysters just down the street, and clamming at the nearby state park. We were there for three weeks and had a wonderful time.

We loved our time in the Finny house. It’s spacious and unique. Everyone had their own space. House had everything we needed. The host is very communicative. Stuff in surrounding area is much more reasonably priced than Bar Harbor and Acadia region.

We had a great stay here. 1 week went by way too fast. We brought our little jet boat and explored the Kennebec and Back rivers both up river and out to the ocean. Saw many seals, osprey, kingfisher, lots of other wildlife, even a bald eagle attacking a blue heron (probably trying to steel it's dinner). Property has a dock which we tied up for the week. It's a tidal river so at low tide the dock/boat is in mud flats. There is a mooring available if you don't want your boat sitting in the mud. Host has several other boat options as well.
If you have a dog, there are several nature preserves/hiking areas close by. Our favorite was the cliff trail in Harpswell.
As for the house itself - it is very interesting design. Great for larger families with plenty of bedrooms and a large open concept area for games, meals etc. We were mostly out of the house but we did enjoy several breakfasts/dinners there as the well stocked kitchen served us well.
We've been to several rentals over the past number of years and this was definitely one of our favorites. We will very likely try to rent again - hopefully longer than a week.
Loved it!

We were lucky to stay here for four whole weeks in September. The house is lovely. It has all the amenities we needed: nice kitchen full of cookware and utensils; linens, bedding, blankets, and towels; even small toys for our youngest visitors. The dock was stocked with a paddle board, several kayaks, a canoe, two row boats, and a motor boat. Who could ask for more? At high tide our tallest kids (5’ 10”) could swim without touching bottom at the dock and at low tide the deep (DEEP!) mud was fantastic to play in!The setting is lovely and intimate. The house is toward the end of a long, dirt road with few neighbors. It’s quite
