About this cottage rental
This cottage is on a small bluff overlooking the water and surrounding marshes. It is located on a secluded peninsula just 5 miles from Bath, Maine (The 'City of Ships').
There is a hiking trail along water's edge and also kayaks or canoes for rent to explore the waterways.
The cottage has wood beamed ceilings and pine floors. There is a good size screened porch from which you can enjoy sunset views over the water.
There is a queen size bed in one bedroom and two twin size beds in the other. The couch in the living room converts to a bed for additional sleeping accommodations.
For those who desire to stay 'plugged in' we offer Satellite TV and Wireless Internet.
The kitchen is complete with full size refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster and coffee pot not to mention all the pots, pans, dishes and utensils you will need. If you like to BBQ there is a charcoal grill just outside the front door. For lobster lovers we have a large pot available for you to cook them fresh in your cottage.
The Midcoast area of Maine is known for its miles of white sandy beaches and Lobster wharfs where you can enjoy their famous lobster dinners on the dock as you watch the lobstermen bringing in their catch for the day. What makes the midcoast so appealing is the fact that you get to enjoy all this without the crowds. You will love the slower pace of life and the pristine beauty of this untouched area.

This was our second year staying at the cabins. Very quiet and relaxing, hiking with our dog every day.
Looking forward to next year!

We had such a wonderful time here. It was secluded and peaceful, but also an easy drive to Bath, Brunswick, and Portland, as well as the beaches at Popham and Reid State Park. There's a little zip line steps away from the house that spans a stream, and my young sons couldn't get enough of it. We didn't hesitate to sign up for another stay next summer.
The one heads up I would give to others staying here is that bed sheets and towels are not included by default. The hosts had mentioned this explicitly in the email they sent me beforehand, so it's not at all their fault, but I had just assumed the email was all legalese check-in/check-out/don't wreck the place stuff so I didn't bother reading it fully. So make sure you request the sheets and towels going in. It wouldn't have been an issue at all, except we got in late. We were fine the first night, and when I sent them a text, they dropped off the sheets and towels promptly first thing the next morning.
In all, an ideal spot for a great vacation.

My husband and I spent a week in the Hockomock cabin at the Back River Bend Cottages in late September 2017. The cabin was adorable, had plenty of space, and plenty of hot water. We watched beautiful sunsets over the marsh while listening to the sounds of nature on the screened in porch! It was the perfect spot to have day trips to Freeport, Rockport, Camden, Wiscasset, and Bath. There was even a pass to the State Parks in the cabin for our use that got us into Reid State Park and Popham Beach. The bed was plenty comfortable and the cabin was clean. There were plenty of pots, utensils, and plates to use! We were also able to bring our two cavalier king charles spaniels who loved looking out the screened in porch. They were kind enough to provide some bottled water for our use. This cabin is right next to the boat storage area. The peninsula has a short trail to explore, and Georgetown has plenty of other trails to peruse. Overall, a very relaxing cabin!

I enjoyed the vacation very much. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We had a rocky start. The screens on the porch were in need of repair and there were several large open areas in them which would have allowed many mosquitoes to join our time there. We informed the owners the night that we arrived. Luckily we have some nails and a hammer and "patched" the areas the first night. We called again the next day and the screens were restapled that night. There were also some issues with the wifi. NOrmally this would no be an issue for us at all. We like to stay unplugged normally while on vacation. My husband was taking online courses during the summer and this proved to be a big inconvenience. Again the owners tried to resolve the issue and the internet company was able to set up an alternate system within the first 2 days.
The area was beautiful and we really enjoyed kayaking and hiking. We were able to leave our kayaks at the water's edge so in and out was very easy.
My mother also joined us and we had all 4 of our dogs with us. THey had a great time too especially watching the watercraft go by our cottage.
We definitely would consider returning to this very quiet place to vacation
