About this property

Beautiful Maine Views! Comfort of home! Exciting Adventures!

Perched high above the New Meadows salt water river, Juniper Ledge House provides the ideal place to get away! You can choose to watch the water, osprey, seagulls and sunsets from from the large deck, use the house for a quiet escape - or as a home base for outings and exploring nearby attractions. The house is close to everything - activities and services - movies, bowling, rope climbing, shopping, great restaurants, golf, beaches, networks of hiking trails, kayak and boat rentals, easy launch locations, and beautiful ocean scenery. All are just minutes away! There is a 1.5 mile hiking trail on the Juniper Woods property and access to parking, stairs down to a common dock, and waterfront (subject to tides) if you just want to stay right at home.

The Juniper Ledge House is ideal for one or two couples, or a couple with older children. Because there is a steep "cliff" in front of the house, we do not recommend this property for very little ones. Sorry, but pets are not allowed on this property and it is also a non-smoking property.

You certainly will not be roughing it if you choose this property, but if you think you need a really nice, comfortable and MAINE place to stay and a great chance to do lots of different and exciting things from there (or just to hunker down!) Juniper Ledge House is a great choice!
The house is cooled and completely furnished with everything you will need for a wonderful week's stay!
The Bathroom has a tub/shower, hair dryer, curling Iron
The master bedroom has beautiful, high views, a comfortable queen bed and pocket french doors open through to a small sitting room. (The couch in this room can be converted as an additional sleeping space and when sliding doors are closed, there are full pull-drapes to provide privacy between these 2 rooms).
The second master has a comfortable Sleep Number king bed. All bedroom windows have blackout curtains if you are a late sleeper.
The full kitchen features a double oven, gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, trash compactor and refrigerator with door ice and water. We provide dishes, silverware and all the cooking utensils you will need. There is a choice of Drip Style and Keurig Style Coffee Maker and a coffee grinder for your use.
Other amenities include Internet access with printer, Three tvs, Gas Fireplace (for rainy days!), Ironing Board and Iron.
Outdoors there is a Covered Front Porch with chairs and a convenient recycling area. Overlooking the water is a huge deck with 2 umbrellas, a large outdoor dining table with cushioned seating and pub table. There are 6 comfortable wicker chairs for relaxing. You have a Gas Grill, Beach cooler, chairs, towels and beach umbrella for your use.



The owners will greet you upon arrival, give you a short orientation to the house and answer any questions you may have about the area. You will find a notebook filled with information and "things to do", notes from them and from other renters.
We live on site in an apartment and walk out basement on the opposite side of the house during the summer.. The units are separated by an enclosed stairway and living spaces are on the opposite end of the house. Each of us have our own parking, living decks and separate entry areas. We honor your privacy completely! Although we're friendly, we never intrude but you can contact us if you need anything during the week.

Wonderful Retreat
There wasn’t any small detail that wasn’t thought of by Kerry. The home was nicely appointed and had a gas grill that we used 2 nights and ate on the deck numerous times looking at the amazing view of the water and boats going by. They also thoughtfully maintain a trail to a common dock area that is about a mile and a half loop. The pictures don’t do it justice. We ate at several restaurants that they recommended and they were delicious! Frosty’s donuts in Bath were amazing! They have a way of making you feel at home by having everything that you need right at your disposal. The location is a nice area that is central to visiting multiple areas of Maine in no time. Boothbay Harbor is a beautiful area to see and so many state parks to hike. You can’t go wrong visiting this gem of a home in West Bath and enjoy Kerry’s blueberry muffins that she makes for you. Yum!

We were very comfortable with the downstairs area. However we did not realize the bathroom and the bedrooms were upstairs. That being said, I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable place to stay.

Amazing owner managed rental
Incredible house, view, and management of the property. We had personalized notes, the owners reached out to see if there was anything they could do to make our stay easier and more pleasant. Staying here was a very enjoyable experience.

Awesome rental managed by it's owners
This is a beautiful home with a stunning view, where you can appreciate that is managed by the owners. The house feels like a property where people actually live instead of a full time rental. We love it here, this is the second time we rent this home.

Our visit far exceeded our expectations, even though they were high. The location was perfect, a beautiful view and absolutely gorgeous home. It was very difficult to leave. We will return and soon I hope. Juniper Ledge House was the icing on the cake.

Very beautiful home and convenient lacation
We enjoyed our 10 day stay very much. Going through the extra tropical storm winds and seeing the Eagle from the back porch trying to deal with the winds was a little extra. The location is near several nice breakfast places within 10 minutes. Route 1 is only 5 minutes away and we could visit anywhere on the coast from Portland to Thomaston in less than an hour. Rockland, Rockport and Camden only another 10 minutes from that. Kerry and Steve are great and easy to work with. They quickly answered our every request. Nice place.

Great place to getaway to!
We stayed here for a week with another couple as a central spot with relatively easy access to the coast (for great fresh lobster) and various lakes (for boating, etc.) as well as other site seeing opportunities. Pros: great location, very clean and comfortable. Excellent deck for relaxation during the day with practically zero noise from traffic or neighbors. The views of the lake is great! There are also Comfortable living spaces and bedrooms and a full kitchen. Besides the clean comfortable spaces, this place has a lot of amenities! Too many to list, lol. Cons: there is only one bathroom so if you have more than 4 people…this could be an issue. Also, if you have more than 4 people, there won’t be enough towels for the week. There is no laundry facilities available so no washing your towels half way through the week. This being the case, you’ll have a slight Oder to the towels half way through a weeks stay since there is no good place to allow the towels to dry properly. Something else to consider: the parking for this location is across the lawn and down a little bit of a grade with a stepping stone path. Your average person will be fine with this but if any guests have difficulty walking, this could be another point to consider as there is no guest parking allowed at the same level as the entry to the home

Maine vacation
This was an amazing place to stay, beyond our expectations. The property was very thoughtfully set up to welcome us (like an excellent kitchen with every pan and tool you could hope for), and the location is outstanding. The deck with a view of the water is especially nice, and we enjoyed quite a bit of time out there. We loved staying in the area and are already talking about coming back to the same place again. Couldn’t recommend it higher!

We had a great time at the house. So much better than a hotel. Everyday we so appreciated coming back from our excursion to the beauty and comfort of the house. The views are spectacular. Kerry and Steve were the best hosts. Very helpful when we needed anything but very respectful of our privacy. So glad I tried. VRBO

Relaxing as soon as you drive up!
The property and house were beautiful. You feel relaxed as soon as you arrive at the house. The location, with the deck facing south and west and overlooking the tidal river, was lovely to return to at the end of the day to watch the sunset. We hiked and explored local restaurants and brew pubs on the four peninsulas and the Route 1 corridor from Brunswick to Boothbay Harbor. We recommend the Coastal Botanical Gardens, Popham Beach, and so many preserves and hiking trails! Kerry and Steve were fantastic hosts; like having good neighbors, there if you need them but otherwise respecting each other's privacy. The beds and furnishings were attractive and very comfortable, the kitchen included everything you'd need to prepare a quick snack to a complete meal. Plenty of storage and work space in the kitchen, all with a great view of the river. The location was perfect for all the local exploration we were doing; just far enough in on the peninsula to get a taste of the water, but close enough to the main roads to facilitate easy travel to and from other communities. We would definitely return again! Thank you, Kerry and Steve!!

Wonderful Maine Vacation
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and really well maintained. Everything is very clean, the beds a comfortable, the living room furniture is great, the kitchen is lovely and well stocked. It was really nice not to have to worry about bringing sheets and towels, the house has everything one would need. The patio is so nice and great for having coffee in the morning and gazing at the stars at night. All in all a super property. Thank you Kerry and Steve for your hospitality and for sharing your home!

Perfect home. All the amenities Martha Stuart would want. Decorator’s delight. Caring couple Kerry and Steve went out of the way to help us with all sorts of information and property needs. House is conveniently located near Brunswick (brewery and wild oats bakery, Bowdoin College Museum of art not to be missed). Bath architectural trip and maritime museum and concerts in the riverside park. Convenient to Portland for the Casco Bay ferry ride and to Damariscotta and Camden. Best Vrbo we have rented!

Juniper Ledge House is gorgeous- with every amenity that anyone might like. The setting is peaceful with a lovely view of the New Meadows River from the windows and wrap around deck. The bed was so comfortable (sleep numbered!) and we had lots of room to spread out. The kitchen was modern and well appointed. The hosts were delightful and very gracious about our unexpected late arrival due to flight delay. This was indeed a perfect stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kerry or Steve Bailey

Host profile image
Both of us are educators and have had a long history of teaching, being principals, superintendents, consultants and working with state organizations. Kerry just retired in December. Steve still works with the Superintendents Association for Maine. We have 3 grown children and 3 (almost 4) grand children who just love spending time up here! We love to hike, play golf, travel and (of course) enjoy the antics of our new little family members.
We are excited to share our home and our love for Maine with visitors to this area.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location and built our house on top of this ledge in 2003 because of the height of the lot and the views of the water. We had been living nearer Portland and were looking for a chance to live in a less populated area. We found jobs nearby and the rest is history. We loved the nearness of all the things to do - but the sense of peace that greeted us, once we arrived home. We do love it here and we have been so surprised by how many things there are to do and see in this area! Summers are fantastic!

What makes this property unique

West Bath is located right between 2 delightful little cities - 5 minutes from Brunswick and 5 minutes from Bath. Both hold their own charm and there is lots to enjoy and expore in each. Not only that, Harpswell, Popham Beach, Thomas Point Beach, Wiscasset, Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta and any number of shoreline views and activities are right nearby and just ready to enjoy!
Portland is a 40 minute drive and well worth a day trip. You can climb aboard the Casco Bay Ferry and visit some of the scenic islands of Casco Bay. Freeport (LL Beans) is just a 20 minute ride! You can take a trip to walk in the amazing Coastal Botanical Gardens in Boothbay. Enjoy the Summer Music Theater and/or explore Admiral Peary's museum, (both at Bowdoin College) and take a ferry to visit the explorer's house on Eagle Island. If you love the water, take one of the daysails or take a short cruise out in the bay. Don't miss music on the Bath Waterfront, Bluegrass festival at Thomas Point Beach (you can hear this from our deck!) and take a trip to watch the ships on Tall Ships day in Boothbay Harbor! Hop in your car and drive for 15 minutes to sit on their "working wharf" and enjoy mussels, a lobster roll, lobster or clams in Cundy's Harbor. After a busy day, you can leave all of that behind, kick back and truly relax on our comfortable deck.
