Quiet Cabin in a beautiful location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at stille washer. This cabin is nestled in the woods right on the Saco river. This area is very still so in made for great swimming and floating. The location is within 30 minutes to beaches and Portland. Lots to do around the area. The cabin is gorgeous and Barry was a lovely host.

Location Relaxation

The week was perfect weather-wise and gave opportunities to explore the river and area. Barry’s quick responses to questions or direction as I used the wrong door in my initial attempt to get in steered me to the right door. The house was the poster location fir remote relaxation and getaway from technology and a breather from everyday life. Highly suggest a stay.

Amazing home in the woods

What a wonderful stay ! The home is well equipped and very comfortable ! Went on walking trails - all within 30 minutes from the house- the river and sunset on the dock were amazing ! Prettiest sunsets I’ve ever seen / the colors were so vibrant . The only negative of the entire stay was the screened in porch smelled terribly of cats - we couldn’t use it - but we just kept the door shut and used the rest of the house !! We will definitely be back !!

The property was tucked away in the woods which gave us the quiet getaway we desired. But was close to Portland where we visited great restaurants, entertainment and shopping. We also enjoyed hikes and the local orchards. A wonderful trip would highly recommend this location!!!
