About this property

Comfortable, quiet island home for a relaxing and fun-filled vacation

Comfortable, open 1500 s.f. home on the quiet, north end of Westport Island near Wiscasset, "The Prettiest Village in Maine". Enjoy the day's first cup of coffee from the raised deck while watching the sun rise over the glistening waters of the Sheepscott River. Listen to the whispering pines, lobster boats tending traps and the call of seabirds. Relax on the deck, new 10' x 20' float or take a walk to the nearby lobster coop and carry back dinner. The island has three preserves for hiking and picnicking. You're just a few minutes from coastal Route 1 where you can rent kayaks and canoes, shop for groceries, play at Monkey See, Monkey Do (look it up), visit Bath and Boothbay Harbor, Maine Maritime Museum, eat at any one of several highly-reviewed, nearby restaurants. It's a great spot to launch a day trip to Freeport and Camden. Fish, swim or put in your kayak or canoe from the new dock (FYI - dock float sits on “mud” at dead low tide for a total of about three hours daily - 1.5 hours per low tide). The hillside leading to the dock is steep, but steps are broad with a bench on a platform half way up/down or two. Settle in and enjoy the amenities: wifi, smart tv, large-capacity washer and dryer, fully-stocked newly remodeled kitchen, linens, hair dryer, iron and board, alarm clock, showers and a tub, dishwasher, microwave and toaster oven, gas grill and coffee maker. The master bedroom has its own bathroom and door that leads out to a secluded, seashore garden with Adirondack chairs. The private and spacious loft sleeps two with seating for reading and relaxing. Another first-floor bedroom also sleeps two. Enjoy riverviews while you dine - rain or shine - from the deck or dining room. There is a well-established and wide variety of shrubs and flowers around the house and here and there on the hillside. Keep an eye out for fox, bald and golden eagles, osprey and seals. Watch the nine foot tides come and go. Westport Isle of View has much to offer. Come see for yourself. Please note: Blink smart cameras are positioned to provide surveillance views of driveway approach and waterside main deck/living room door. These are only activated before guests arrive and after check out.

Peaceful Cottage
My husband and I had an amazing stay at Tim and Faiths lovely cottage on the Sheepscot river. We had the best weather and enjoyed coffee on the deck and lazy days on the dock, just sitting and watching boats go by. We were even lucky enough to see a Whale on our last day! Which is definitely not a normal occurrence. Note that the stairs are steep too get down to the dock, it’s a mini little workout :). The house has everything you need to cook dinner, which we did most nights. The area is perfect for day trips to Camden, boothbay, Monehegan Island (highly recommend if you like to hike), and quick trips for groceries in Wiscasset. Note in the off season lots of places are closed Mon-Wed. and places close early. Maine tasting room was a lovely find, Odd Alewives in Waldoboro, and Pemiquid seafood in New Harbor has a great lobster roll (it’s about 20 -30 mins). Thank you for letting us stay at your perfectly situated cottage!

Quiet retreat!
Everything was great! Not a place for little children due to the steep staircase down to the dock! I used it for daily exercise😂! Otherwise great for a central place to go on day trips from.

Serene setting, lovely home, convenient location
What a wonderful vacation location! Peaceful setting with water views from a gorgeous deck and many rooms throughout the house. Immaculate with a brand new kitchen, and all of the comforts of home! Great to relax on the deck or on the dock but also fantastic location for visiting many of Maine’s attractions and towns, such as Wiscasset, Portland, Damariscotta, Boothbay Harbor, and Freeport. Added bonus was the lobster co-op just a five minute walk away, where we were able to purchase lobsters from the boat to be prepared for our table! Thank you, Tim and Faith. Looking forward to returning in the future!

The Perfect Balance
This wonderful home is half cabin/half summer home, possessing both charm and modern amenities. It is located on a very quiet river, perfect for relaxation, yet an hour away from Portland and Rockland/Camden. The best part of the stay are the owners Faith and Tim who are always available only when you need them.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Murney and Faith Leitner

Host profile image
Faith is a harpist and Tim recently retired from workforce development. We enjoy family and friends, being in and on the water, traveling, DIY projects, good movies, music, books and food. Our two grown daughters have left the nest. We are building some sweat equity into our Sheepscot River getaway with a newly remodeled kitchen, etc.

Why they chose this property

We are natives of the Midwest. But, Faith has roots in the Brunswick area and we both have an affinity for the mid-coast region. We have returned to this part of Maine every fall for the past 35+ years. After looking for many, many months, we found this home on the Sheepscot River. It's got lots of potential and improving it has become a labor of love.
