Best exchange ever

I can’t say enough good things about this Third Home. Starting with the owner who was so gracious and helpful in getting us to the house, setting things up and providing the most detailed list I’ve ever seen in a rental house. The house itself is a total charmer. Spick and span, completely modern while retaining old world, charm, a well-stocked kitchen and spectacular views from every window in the house. The bedrooms were beautiful, the beds were a dream and the en suite bathrooms were just perfect. The property itself was beautiful and we took full advantage of the suggested drives all within 35-40 minutes of the house. The town of Bath is just a few minutes away and really one wouldn’t necessarily need to go anywhere else. There are restaurants and shops and a wonderful café and two absolutely divine bakeries all within two blocks of each other. Oyst-hers is seafood heaven right on the beach and J.R. Maxwell served the best hamburgers we’ve had in years. I did not want to leave this rental and I look forward to going back again within the year.”

What a home! So much space and so many amenities!

We had our two sons, their wives and kids join us in Maine, and even though the timing wasn’t great given the nor’easter that rained down on us a few of the days, we had plenty of inside things to do and a lot of space to do it in! The kitchen is very well stocked and we had no problem preparing and serving multiple meals at the home, with the large dining table giving everyone room to spread out. The bedrooms were large and comfortable, and there were more than enough bathrooms for everyone to have their own. All in all, we had a great time exploring the area, and we loved having enough room for our ‘inside’ times. ”

Fabulous September week in a great house in beautiful Maine!

Two of my sisters - one with a husband and one with two adult sons, one married with a 2 year old son -spent a glorious week at this home in Phippsburg, Maine. Our weather was great and the house easily accommodated the nine of us with my nephew, wife and son staying in the "lodge" which worked well. The other six of us stayed in the 4 bedrooms in the main house. Very comfortable with an amazing kitchen with every item you could imagine at your fingertips for the two nights we cooked in! Would highly recommend to others when it is available again on Third Home!”

Gorgeous property

The property was wonderful and I can’t say enough positive comments about our stay!! Thanks again!”

Perfect for a family get together

This home was ideal for our extended family arriving from all over the country. It accommodated 16 of us easily, affording a lovely eastern view across the Kennebec as we feasted on lobster and clams. The heated pool kept the young’uns happy while we adults relaxed in the hot tub and planned our next day trip. Would it be Popham Beach, Boothbay Harbor, the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden, a puffin tour…? So many great places to explore! But best of all was the opportunity for togetherness in a beautiful location. ”

Maine Family Trip

We had an amazing time in this wonderful home! I would go back many times, not even necessary to go out! The view is spectacular and the energies want to make you stay!”

Comfortable Home with Great Views

This Estate is spacious and comfortable, at the end of a secluded road with great lake views. There is both indoor and outdoor (covered) dining areas, a large den, and the bedrooms in the main house are also spacious and two have private bathrooms (2 bedrooms share one in the hallway). The owner was very responsive to our questions and provided exhaustive info on where to go and what to do in Bath and Phippsburg which we found very helpful. As a caution, although there is an elevator in the main house, for those with mobility issues there may be challenges as there are four places where there are two steps between levels with no rails (in and out of the kitchen is one), there are no steps or handrails for the hot tub (our guests who are agile still needed help in and out), and the two staircases in the "loft" are steep. We expected some furniture in the common area in the loft but there wasn't any. Appliances in the kitchen are older and we were told the electrical connections in this rural area are sporadic so for example it took 30 minutes to warm up the oven, and the fridge and dishwasher leaked. All said this is a peaceful and tranquil setting- we had a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family!”

Feels like Home, great location!

We just finished a spectacular week at Jenny's home just SW of Boothbay Maine. The weather was autumn superb to match a very large comfortable home, with well stocked kitchen, wonderful library/lounge and awe inspring views off the deck. For Maine souls (and hardy visitors), the pool was still doable in September sunny days. The home is situated perfectly for exploring the coastline with great hikes and, well,....lobster and seafood. Next time, I'm bringing my kayaks to use from Jenny's dock.”

Beautiful Property and Great Hosts!

We had a wonderful time on our family vacation in Maine. The property was large enough for all 15 of our extended family plus our 2 dogs to spend a week together. The pool was perfect for the unseasonably hot weather and we enjoyed eating our family dinners on the screen porch with a cool lake breeze. The lake view from the assorted decks was gorgeous and we were a short trip into town whenever we needed supplies. We only had one minor issue and the owners were super responsive in quickly resolving it. Thank you for making our first trip to Maine so memorable!”

Maine Estate was AWESOME

We loved our stay at the Maine Coastline estate. The house had so much charm and the views were amazing. We enjoyed the direct access to the river. It was in an excellent location for day trips to many of the local towns as well as Acadia NP. I highly recommend this home to those looking to visit the coast of Maine.”

Amazing home in a great location!

We had been to Portland and Bar Harbor Maine but had never vacationed in Phippsburg. We had a great time in this spacious and well appointed home with a beautiful view. Our trip to the Botanical Gardens was terrific experience. We hope to return some day! ”

Charming

Our stay at Phippsburg Classic Maine home was cozy. The home was spacious and enjoyed the fireplaces in the living room and bedroom. The views were beautiful and seen from nearly every part of the house. Enjoyed cooking in the well apportioned kitchen. Close to several charming towns and the Owners Matt and Jenny did a good job giving us plenty of suggestions on things to do. The elevator was a great feature for getting luggage to the second floor. ”

Maine Classic

Nice location perched on top of a bluff overlooking the water. The house has several living spaces to accommodate a large family with ease. The pool was a nice touch as was the yoga/exercise space. The owners were quick to respond to questions. ”

Beauty All Around

This is a wonderful home, inside and out. The kitchen is very well equipped and laid out. We enjoyed the beautiful views from all of the many windows. The pool and hot tub were a real treat. The owners were very helpful and responsive. We would happily return.”

Wonderful Maine state

We absolutely loved our stay at Classic Maine Coastline Estate and would gladly stay again when we return. Even the immediate surroundings were wonderful morning walks before setting out to sail and explore elsewhere.”

Private with lovely river views, but uncomfortably hot during our stay ...

Large very private and peaceful house with ever changing river views - osprey and bald eagles were regular visitors. An interesting area to explore with lovely beaches and pretty towns - we'd been in Maine for 3 weeks so we only explored the local area. It was very hot when we stayed at the end of August and the house cooling system just could not cope so the house never really got below 80 degrees which impacted our enjoyment as it was uncomfortably hot, luckily there were fans and a cold pool which kept us sane. The kitchen was without doubt the best equipped of any house we've stayed in but the outside furniture was tired and really needs upgrading. The hosts were responsive and helpful, thank you for hosting us.”

Great home near the coast

Our stay was great. We had a large family group and there was plenty of room for us to spread out. Pool and hot tub were a nice bonus, although a little chilly even with the heater. Home was clean and well maintained. It's pretty remote, but close enough to Bath and other coastal towns to dine out or get groceries. If you do visit, Winnegance Restaurant is a hidden gem for breakfast or lunch...we loved the local vibe and country cooking.”

Amazing !!

The house is so cute and located in a very beautiful part of Phippsburg Maine with the most amazing view ever. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to return next summer or this Fall. Ron A”

Family Time

Our family had a wonderful time exploring Maine, eating lobster and spending time at this beautiful home. I hope we can return!”

Beautiful home in Shippsburg Maine near Bath.

My wife and I definitely enjoyed our early September stay at this wonderful roomy waterfront home tucked in the woods by the Kenebec River. Our guests to the property included wild turkeys and deer. The heated pool and hot tub were great features and travel to nearby attractions such as Bath, Boothbay Harbor, Brunswick and Freeport was easy. We highly recommend this comfortable and well appointed home.”

Water views from every room!

Spectacular home with amazing water views. Pool, hot tub and dock were added bonuses. Crystal chandelier in master bathroom. Wonderfully located for day excursions. Plenty of room for multi-generational reunion. Thank you!”

Classic Maine Coastline Estate

We can't say enough good things about this property. It's apparent as you walk in the front door that the owners take great pride in their home and make every attempt to assure that their visitors feel welcome and comfortable. They are very helpful in providing names of excellent retaurants and activities in the area. The location is especially good in that all of the major Maine coastline attractons are within 1 to 11/2 hr drive, with the exception of Bar Harour. Sue and Steve Aichele”

Beautiful House

Classic Coastline Maine Estate is a very spacious and well decorated comfortable house on a bluff above the water. The views are incredible, especially from the master bedroom. Several times we saw bald eagles cruising by at eye level. The property is conveniently located for day trips to nearby coastal towns. We were lucky to have beautiful spring days in April. Would love to return in the summer when the pool is open and the dock is in the water. The owners were great, thank you JennyBess for allowing us to bring our dog Rosie. She gave it 6 stars out of 5 and especially loved morning trips to Fort Popham and a run on the beach there.”
