About this property

Studio Riverside in Kennebec

Beautiful Riverside Studio/above garage apartment, private, remote, semi-secluded. Located on the Kennebec river. A roomy studio with a view of the Kennebec river, feet from the river's edge. Large kitchen, includes everything you need to feel right at home. Located on 10 private acres, close to the Appalachian Trail and it's Kennebec river crossing. Surrounded by woods and bordered by a crystal clear stream. If you're into the outdoors this is the place for you. Hiking, biking, fishing, rafting and snowmobiling right outside your door.
The apartment has a king size bed, with a day bed that doubles as a single. The full bath is also stocked with towels, soap, shampoo, etc. and has a washer and dryer for your use. Guests will also have access to River/lake, lawn/beach area, fire pit, gazebo with double hammock, 2 kayaks, canoe and propane grill.
We are in the middle of an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. We have tons of day hikes close by, mountain tops, breathtaking views, or waterfalls, whatever you're looking for. Whitewater rafting is the big summer industry here, there are several outfitters located within 5 miles of our place. Fishing right out the front door, either in the lake, the river or in the stream that borders the property. Snowmobile trail access to ITS 87. Park you trailer here and ride for miles from the front door. There are biking and walking trails as well. We are glad to offer suggestions, or show you around.
We are next door on the property and happy to answer any questions or help with concerns. We love to meet new people and socialize but will respect your space and privacy.

Serene comfort on the Kennebec River
This apt is one of the most well-equipped we have stayed in and we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. Although communication provided excellent directions, it was after dark and I appreciated seeing my name on a chalkboard outside the entry door over a window box full of gorgeous flowers to confirm we were in the right place. The king bed was very comfortable! The twin was a bit too firm but that’s a preference. The couch was perfect to curl up on and there was a basket of throw blankets s well. Window AC cooled the place easily on the hot summer days we were there. Didn’t use the gas fireplace but can picture how cozy it would be. Many games and books for adults and kids and a smart tv with Netflix, etc. The kitchen wasn’t missing anything having even spices, oil, coffee, sugar and dried creamer. Loved the linens, including quality towels in the bathroom. Did one load of laundry - convenient! Best part was the quiet, beautiful setting in the woods right on the river. Although kayaks, a canoe, and swimming were all available we unfortunately couldn’t take advantage because my daughter ended up sick during our short stay but what a gorgeous spot! Excellent explicit info on the river’s current, etc provided if we had been able to. Loved being greeted by the adorable chickens every day. Hope we can come back some day to stay more than two nights and fully enjoy this special spot. Kim was incredibly helpful with suggestions and accommodating a late check out.

Amazing vacation! Mike and Kim have a beautiful property along the Kennebec River and are fabulous hosts. We had an amazing time and our daughter loved fishing and kayaking. She caught 3 small mouth bass! The river is gorgeous and the apartment is cozy and clean with all you need to have a great vacation. I highly recommend staying at this property.

Magical
Mike and Kim’s apartment is such a magical place. Apt is very clean and spacious. Beds are very comfortable. AC cools entire place (although we didn’t really need it). Lots of games and books available. Well equipped kitchen. The best was just being on the river though. Kayaking, canoeing, and swimming were all amazing. You feel isolated but it made me feel safe being a few feet from their home. Mike was very helpful! We used this as a base for rafting and hiking in the area and it was perfect!!!

Beautiful hidden gem
We loved this place! Wish we had booked for a few more days so we could explore the area more. The location is serene by the Kennebec river. The studio apt. is really spacious, although a slightly larger shower stall would have been more comfortable. It was surprisingly tiny without a lot of places to put supplies. The kitchen is spacious and well stocked. I gave communication with manager only 3 stars because we could not find the driveway and did not get a timely reply from him. It was frustrating to know we were close but the road sign name was too low to be seen from the road and the entrance to driveway was overgrown so that it did not look like an opening to drive through. In addition there was a road crew doing maintenance on the roadway. For clarification, instead of saying across from the 'blinking moose sign' perhaps call it a flashing moose crossing sign. I expected the moose to be flashing but it was not.

Beautiful!
The location was exactly as described in the description. Very clean and comfortable. The bed was super comfortable. This was a weekend mom-cation get away for just me. It was quiet but beautiful. Walk to the river was easy and chairs and a little table are provided. Apartment had everything you could want as well as anything you may have forgotten to pack. I would love to come back soon with my husband!

Great location and GREAT OWNERS. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was perfect. Everything from the free range chickens that greeted us to all the available amenities and river view were perfect. I must admit that we had an issue of our own making, and the owners were so helpful in their response. They kept our vacation from having a negative turn. I can't thank them enough. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved it here. A beautiful setting on the Kennebec, if you are looking for a peaceful, somewhat secluded retreat with hiking and river options nearby, this is the place! We stayed with our teenage daughter (who loved the dog and the chickens) and the space was perfect. There was a firepit and canoes available for use and the riverside hammock (screened in) so soothing. Access to a fully kitted kitchen with some essentials left for you (spices, coffee/tea fixings) as well as a washer and dryer within the bathroom. Hair dryer and beach towels left for use, and the friendly and helpful hosts just across the parking area. Available but not intrusive! A rafting company is less than 10 minutes away as was Moxie Falls and several restaurants. The Appalachian Trail was a quick canoe across the river. All in all a wonderful vacation spot and highly recommend!

Our favorite VRBO yet!
This was our second visit to Mike and Kim's beautiful property. We love everything about this place. It has plenty of privacy. It is stocked really well. We always cook a full meal or two while we are there, so I can attest that the kitchen is great and has everything you would need. We look forward to going back as soon as we can. The location on the river is stunning. There are a ton of hikes in the area (we have done Moxie Falls but also just hiked Pleasant Pond Mountain on this trip). Highly recommend.

Why they chose this property

Waterfont property, surrounded by woods and water, river, lake, stream, and snowmobile trail access all right out the front door. Endless activities and adventure.....

What makes this property unique

Swimming, tubing, rafting, hiking, snowmobiling, is all right here. Spend a few hours floating down the river alone or with friends, take out on the back lawn. do some cooking on the grill, when it gets dark start a bonfire and kick back, relax with a few cold beverages or just take it all it. This is a special, some say magical place
