Stille Wasser, Quiet, secluded spot on Saco River with Dock (Boat lift option)
Timber frame house with radiant heating and cooling, healthy, quiet place. Located on the Saco River, with views to the water, a dock. Swim, canoe, kayak, boat on the Saco River. Modern, full service kitchen, open spaces and balcony with views to the river. Easy access to beaches, exceptional dining in Portland, nearby golf course.
This house is beautiful, The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to entertain. We had perfect weather and were able to enjoy the patio and walks down to the river. The location is private yet close enough to shopping and restaurant's. We would definitely go back !
Positives - The setting was peaceful. The river was peaceful. House design & construction amazing. High end appliances. Negatives - photos are old & misleading. The written description misleading. The lighting was less than stellar, very dim...had to go out to Walmart and buy a reading lamp. The Glass Room was unusable due to strong musty odor. The TV was 9' high in the air. It took 7 hours to dry a medium size load of wash. We were not tempted to use the outdoor gas grill as it did not appear to be cleaned in a "long" time. The path way to the water was Steep! The path way to the the dock area was over grown and surrounding the dock was fallen limbs, trees & debris making it difficult to launch the kayak & inflatable boat which we did bring down the hill. Spent time cleaning up the debris in & out of the water around the dock. The aluminum canoe that was there did not look at all to be water worthy. Did not see the boat lift option. Bringing the kayak & inflatable back up the hill was not for the faint of heart. Regarding communication with the host, there was no response to an email that was sent to him asking if a "veteran's discount" available. There was no emergency contact information/telephone numbers to call should a plumbing, heating, electrical, etc. emergency event occur. ** Please call before posting feedback. Never have given any "feedback" before but felt compelled for this stay. We do have photos if needed. Thank you.
The house was not clean. Dust and cobwebs everywhere. The porch smells so bad you could not use it. The outside areas were filthy. The shower was was a joke.
The kitchen was great, well stocked and excellent appliances. The house is spacious and a lot of care went into the design and construction. Very good bed and cotton linens. The river is beautiful. We loved it.
My brother & his family were very happy with their stay at your home. They were intrigued & very happy with the environmental aspects of the building.My brother called the setting âmagicalâ!Thank you very much!
Overall, the stay was good. The walk to the dock is further than we thought, but not terrible. The sunroom was also unusable due to a musty odor. It would have been nice to be able to use it. I would have like to know ahead of time that the house was geothermal, which is very cool, but also means you cant open doors, windows, etc. Location is great. Secluded in the woods but close to Portland, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, etc.
We loved our time last year so much that we returned this summer. Both our dog and our child loved all the house and woods had to offer. We hope to return next year as well.
This place was good enough for the price but there were carpenter ants crawling everywhere and the dryer did not work. While we felt it was an okay stay for the price, after we checked out the host is trying to extort us saying we broke the kitchen counter and the futon (that no one even slept on). Do NOT stay here
The property is absolutely beautiful. The house was welcoming and well kept. Even with a little guy, it was relaxing and rejuvenating. Being on the river was breath taking and made for some incredible sunset watching! We truly enjoyed our time and hope to visit again in the future!
Stille Wasser did not disappoint! The location is ideally situated in a private and quiet location, but within a short drive to local attractions and shops. The private floating docks offered relaxing afternoons and beautiful sunsets.
Our overall stay was wonderful the house is post and beam style frame with a wonderful stone fireplace in the main room. The location is good close to markets and Portland as well as beaches in OOB.I do have a few comments about the place:1. The house has only 1 1/2 bathrooms if you plan on a few friends spend the night it might take some time to get everyone a shower in the AM.2. The dryer is a comdensating dryer which means a dryer that uses a heat exchanger to condense water from the humid air inside the dryer and collect it in a tank or drain it away. This type of dryer takes forever to dry your clothes.3. The two futon sofa/bed in the main room are the most uncomfortable things I have every sat on.With that said the house was wonderful for our stay with our pet and I would recommend a stay to anyone.
Our family of five really enjoyed our time out in the woods. The home is a unique labor of love with lots of interesting designs. The kids especially enjoyed the trail down to the dock. I loved all the fireflies in the evening. The house is stocked with everything you could need and an abundance of towels and bedding. This place was convenient for our baseball tournament in the Old Orchard Beach area.
It was clean, comfortable and very close to family where we spent most of the time for Thanksgiving. This a great place for a larger group, very pretty and open.
Perfect and exactly what we needed- a singular and beautiful home in a serene and secluded forest. Close to everything, yet tucked into the woods Stille Wasser is the perfect retreat. With everything you need and quiet to spare, its the qunitessential
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 Iâve ever seen / the colors were so vibrant . The only negative of the entire stay was the screened in porch smelled terribly of cats - we couldnât use it - but we just kept the door shut and used the rest of the house !! We will definitely be back !!
The week was perfect weather-wise and gave opportunities to explore the river and area. Barryâs 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.
Still Wasser is an excellent place to relax and get away from it all. Well appointed and very comfortable it has everything you need. Would highly recommend.
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.
