Cottage vacation rentals in Saco River

Our stay at Chelsea and Mathew’s cottage was top notch. The communication and instructions on all things related to the cottage were detailed and clear. From prior to booking and throughout the stay the communication was excellent. The house was clean and well kept, charming and welcoming. The bonus features of the wood burning stove and hot tub made this a must stay location for us and we couldn’t have been happier with what they added to the overall experience. I highly recommend the spot for its proximity to Black Mountain, what the house offers and the hosts were fantastic. We’ll be back for sure!

Great stay for a couple looking to ski at Jay Peak! The cabin was super cute and very cozy. Watching the sun set through the windows was stunning. The hot tub was very scenic and a great vibe after skiing. It’s about 10 minutes to Jay, and 3 minutes from an exceptional Asian fusion restaurant (Omakase). We’d stay there again for sure!

Lovely one night stay at this sweet little cottage! Grounds are well-kept, enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch. AC kept it nice and cool. Convenient location close to a great donut shop- Congdon’s and our favorite ice scream spot- Scoop Deck. Chloe is a gracious host and even granted us a late check-out!

What a wonderful weekend stay! We arrived to the house with it fully prepped for us - heat already on (it was a cold weekend), bathroom set up, towels present, etc. We felt immediately comfortable. It was about a ~15-20 minute drive to any restaurant/main area. The outdoor hot tub was definitely the highlight (also set up for us prior). Watching the snow fall while comfortably sitting in the hot water/jets was fantastic. Kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, oil, spices, etc. - everything helpful for home cooking. Alexa was friendly, responsive, and flexible with us. It’s clear she’s experienced with hosting and making our stay a seamless experience. I could not recommend her home more (and would definitely go back in the fall for some quality beach time!).

Terrific stay! The cottage was modern, clean, convenient and lovely. The pools are great for kids, and the cottage is near to restaurants, beaches etc. Great place for a holiday.

Wonderful,private, well equipped cottage on pretty pond. Owners quick to respond to our texts. Relaxing hot tub and fantastic sauna! Many restaurants and breweries within a 30 minute drive. Book it ..... you won't wanna leave!

Above and beyond in every way! Everything was extremely clean, easy to access, and very dog friendly. The host was incredibly responsive, flexible, and kind! We plan to go back!

Beautiful place to stay!! Quintessential Maine. We had a great experience, made use of the cabin, pool, and picnic area while in town for a wedding—and a much better value than places the next town over!!

The cottage was cozy and peaceful, perfect for a winter weekend getaway! There was about 3 to 4 feet of snow on the ground but the stove kept the cottage nice and warm. The area was beautiful and we had a great time! We highly recommend staying here if you're visiting northern Vermont!

We stayed at the Shattuck Hill Cottage for a ski vacation. Sandra was a great host! Close enough to the mountain to get there everyday, but far enough away to avoid the tourist congestion. The cottage was comfy and cozy and we love that we can bring our doggo. Looking forward to our next stay!

Stephani was a great host! My friend group had a blast, the cabin was perfect and cozy especially after a day skiing at loon.

Loved our stay at Lulu’s cozy, quaint and welcoming cottage! Lulu was very proactive with detailed check in instructions and was accessible during our stay. The cottage is tucked away, peaceful and had lovely views. We shopped and at dinner in Woodstock which is a wonderful area.

This place is the perfect reminder of the kind of place you wish to retire at. I can’t wait to come in the summer or fall! Interestingly enough we came during April snow weather and still had the best and most relaxing time. It was a huge plus that Cumberland farms was two minutes away and a lot of other local stores were around. Extremely dog friendly and truth be told any dog’s favorite place this would easily be. I brought my puppy and it was a great way to expose him to ALOT. Mary was so responsive and helpful and we actually got stuck in the mud and her whole family plowed us out and we got a laugh at the end as well in the midst of it all. The place was clean, you really felt at home with all amenities that were included, I would just keep in mind there was not a kitchen aide mixer so bring a handheld mixer and that would do the trick depending on what you’re planning on baking but I was able to make a lot of things without. Highly recommend, very peaceful, and all you need.

We had a wonderful time at Ann’s. The cabin was great and exactly as described, clean and very comfortable. The property is amazing with lots of privacy and in a great location to explore the Maine coast during the day. Don’t miss hiking down to the trestle bridge to see the herons. Ann thought of everything to make sure we would be comfortable during our stay and she was happy to offer suggestions on places to go and things to see.

We have been going to Sandpond every year for as long as I can remember. We love the lake and the area. Claudia's cabins provide us the ability to join our family there and have our own space. We absolutely love it and are already looking forward to next year!!

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage. My boys loved sledding on the hill off the front porch the most. We wished it was warmer while we were there to be able to enjoy the property more and try the snowshoes Amy was graciously willing to lend us. This is a great place to stay as a family with plenty of things to do within an hour radius. Thanks Amy!

This Lakeside Retreat was a perfect weekend escape for two couples. In late September, we seemed to have the pond to ourselves and enjoyed sharing time around the firepit overlooking the lake. The Bathroom was spacious and one level up from the bedrooms downstairs. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare an excellent meal. I would highly recommend this cabin to a a small group of friends or family looking for a great location near Portland and Lake area attractions.Our host Bobbi was very responsive.

Very comfortably furnished cottage with full kitchen and all amenities.Sue is great host. We have stayed with her twice and will so again.

Stef’s place is truly a gem— cozy, tasteful, and well equipped for a little weekend in the woods. We appreciated the wood stove and the large supply of games. Would absolutely stay again.

Was a great place to get away from the city hustle and bustle and was a nice way to recharge and recenter

Bjorn and Elaine's stay was absolutely incredible! We went up to see foliage and it was the perfect stay for it! Overlooking the lake and the leaves was stunning! Close to many local restaurants and hiking spots, you couldn't ask for anything more!

The place was absolutely fantastic for a rustic get away, well within reach to great hiking, food, and a drive in movie theater! It was also less an hour's drive from Portland. We had a great time reading, cooking, listening to the record player, and getting away from it all. There is no wi-fi but my cell service was strong, so it didn't present an issue. Thanks for a lovely stay and would revisit if I can!

Loons Rest was the perfect get away spot for our 40th anniversary. We were lucky to enjoy the swimming dock in mid September as the daytime temperatures were in the upper 70's to low 80's. The lake was pristine and was warm enough for swimming still. We enjoyed watching and hearing the loons as well as the eagles and kingfishers. We loved the outdoor fire pit when the evenings turned cool as well as the indoor fireplace which is a work of art! Also the was plenty of well seasoned firewood. Everything about this place is very well thought out. If they don't have it you don't need it! The kitchen was well equipped and we were happy to find that there was everything we needed to prepare pizzas to cook on our solo stove pizza oven that we had brought along! John is a great host and responded quickly to any questions we had. Would highly recommend Loons Rest to anyone who is looking for a peaceful and relaxing spot to vacation.

I’ve stayed here a few times. I continue to enjoy all aspects of the property. Give it a try.
