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 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.
Overall, we were happy here, with a few caveats. The windows must stay closed to prevent condensation on the cement floors, but the climate control system is good. The master bedroom is pretty far from the one bathroom and the wall connecting it to the rest of the house is open at the top, providing no sound privacy. We loved swimming in the river, although the dock is pretty far from the house down a steep trail. The property is very private, down a longish driveway through the woods.
We adored our cabin in the woods - highly recommend!!
Stille Wasser is a gem. It's so cool and unique and SUCH an incredible location. The kitchen was wonderful - we cooked several dinners and breakfasts there. The house was also very well stocked. I was pleasantly surprised at having been provided coffee filters, paper towels, toilet paper, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, storage bags, salt and pepper, etc.
We stayed during a heat wave of 95+ temps and the house remained cool and comfortable for us. We got river floats and spent some time floating off the dock on the river.
The adjustable bed was very comfortable and we had plenty of towels and washcloths (even beach towels for the river).
We also enjoyed the back patio, though we did need to clean off the blue cushions a bit. The hummingbirds came to visit us frequently.
I loved how remote the cabin felt, but not far from food and groceries. It was also a very easy drive to Portland about 30-40 minutes away. We drove past Two Tides seafood several times so we stopped in for live lobsters and fresh fish and clams and made those in a large pot in the well equipped kitchen. We highly recommend "garage fish" haha from Two Tides - they are so friendly, the prices are so affordable and the seafood was out of this world.
We didn't use the sunroom or the bunkroom, but we did eat at the dining room table quite a few nights and mornings. Oh and the knives were actually sharp!!
My husband and I had no issues with the little entryway lip, and we felt the walk to river was easy.
My son and I loved our stay at this beautiful home, so much so that my son has ideas of building one similar to the layout to this beautiful home of Barryâs. Our dog loved going for walks up and down the driveway with his dad. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet location to unwind.
