Wake up to extraordinary bayfront views at this Bowdoinham cabin, where you'll enjoy a private patio and firepit, nearby access to a shared dock, and a wondrous location for fishing, hunting, and admiring the classic Maine scenery.

This modern, light-filled home sits two lots down from L.L. Bean's original cabin on the shores of Merrymeeting Bay. Here at the confluence of the Abagadasset, Androscoggin, Cathance, Eastern, Kennebec, and Muddy Rivers, you can launch a boat from the dock in Bowdoinham two miles north, visit Bowdoin College with ease seven miles south, or explore the maritime history of Bath 13 miles south.

Step inside to find an open living space adorned with natural wood, casual furnishings, and large picture windows that overlook the bay. Watch the sunrise each morning, use the free WiFi to read the local paper, and prepare a hearty breakfast on the stainless steel appliances in the full kitchen (which includes a dishwasher).

Head outdoors for the day to test your skills at duck and goose hunting, or paddle one of the six rivers in your kayak. Back at the cabin, you can unwind in the central AC, throw the day's clothes in the washer/dryer, and relax with a view of the bay. Sit down for dinner at the outdoor picnic table, and roast marshmallows for dessert around the comfy firepit.

Find the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience at this classic Maine cabin - book your escape to Bowdoinham today!

Beautiful but clarity needed

Wonderful property on the water. Beautiful views. Private but close enough to essentials and plenty of sight seeing/activities. The canoe on site still has at least one of the same holes mentioned in a review a year ago. Only one person can use it or you will sink. I did not want to be the one. Picture shows boats on dock, but there is nothing on the property you can use. Should be very clear in the listing. I did find a nice, reasonably priced rental facility about 15 minutes away. Seaspray Kayaking and Paddle in Brunswick. We would stay again, but make sure we have a good vehicle to transport kayaks.

Wonderful, relaxing cottage

We loved our stay at the cottage. One morning, we saw an eagle swoop down to catch a fish and saw two seals swimming by. The kitchen had everything we needed. The water pressure in the shower was very low, but hopefully that will get fixed soon.

Short weekend trip

We rented this property for three nights. We chose it due to the water view and it’s proximity to Augusta as my husband was racing in the 70.3 Ironman. The house was very clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the kitchen appliances, pots and pans that we needed. The view was absolutely beautiful and we took full advantage of the fire pit and dock access. The property management team was very thorough and sent updates about early check in being available which was an added bonus. This was our first VRBO rental and they made it very smooth! Our only complaint was the water pressure. It was so bad it made it difficult to shower or do dishes. With that being said I wouldn’t hesitate to book this property again for a short stay but would not recommend six people staying here.

Beautiful home in Bowdoinham, Me

We loved the cabin. The view is spectacular (we saw 3 bald eagles), the cabin itself is very modern and has very good air conditioning. It was quite warm during our stay, so it was great to have a cool refuge. We loved the proximity to places of interest like Bath, Boothbay Harbor and others. Go to the Sea Dog Brewery in Topsham for some great food, and amazing scenery. One of our favorite meals was at Three Robbers Pub just a few minutes away in Bowdoinham. We had a lovely week at the house and in Maine. Note: the dishwasher is out of service and the grill (charcoal) should be replaced, but these were minor inconveniences for us.

Greay view but old and needs updating

Pros- you cannot beat the views of this cabin. It's located near many lakes and rivers. The place was clean and tidy and supplied laundry pods. Cons- very small for our party of 6. Theres a dock but no fishing gear, a kayak but no paddles. The fireplace is broken, the dishwasher was broken, despite being included in the description. I reached out to the property owners day one regaridng broken equipment and they didnt get back to me until after check out. Bottom line- stop at a walmart and get fishing gear, kayak paddles, and i would suggest 4 people or less.

Bay view road, Bowdoinham, ME

Lovely scenery at river front. Quiet. Home access was very difficult with pot holed road and steep entry. Nice kitchen but dishwasher did not work. Fireplace did not work either. Overall, the holiday went well.

NO water pressure

The place is beautiful, and pictures are true of the place. They do not tell you that there are nice patio chairs in the shed. Found on third day when we were trying to figure out where the trash goes. There is NO guidebook as to how to run things or to put trash. We did find the manual for some of the items in the far-left drawer in kitchen. We had a concern that we were having to figure out the dishwasher (it takes a few seconds for it to actually start, fyi) and the property manager reached out to us and helped out. No idea how to fully turn off the AC and was a pain blowing as we worked on items for the wedding. Luckily, SIL has had one at work and showed us. Again, if there was a manual. Has not been brought up before but there is NO water pressure. We were staying here since my daughter got married nearby. My other daughter has thick hair and had to go to a family member nearby to be able to wash her hair. I ran out of hot water before I was able to get all the soap out. We have well water at our home, so we are used to wells and the water from them. This was BAD. Also only three drinking glasses. LOTS of mugs - this is a plus - these places usually have only a couple. Wi-Fi works great. I would highly recommend and go back again - if only we could have showered on site. Even husband complained and he has very little hair!

Great with a few bumps....

Beautiful location and cute cottage. Our comforter was a bit dirty, but found a clean one. The dishes were also a little dirty. The bed is, as far as I can tell, not a queen, but otherwise a wonderful stay.

Beautiful

This cottage was great for three of us. The view from every window ( and there are many) was fantastic. Although we only had breakfast there the kitchen seemed well stocked. The bathroom was nice but for a short person the shower had so much pressure, you could never escape the water. My only other complaint that the futon was horrible to sit on. Loved the thoughtfulness of the telescope and binoculars.

The Perfect Get Away

We had a wonderful time here - relaxing, warm, bright, cheerful, cozy. I called ahead to be sure the driveway would be plowed (expected 6-8" the afternoon of our arrival) and Vacasa communicated with me twice to confirm. The pathway to the cabin was not shoveled, which made our entry a little difficult/slippery but a shovel was provided in the kitchen closet. Beds/linens/blankets are super comfortable and clean, and unlike the pictures on the website, there's now a reclining chair in addition to the futon couch and a kitchen table with chairs instead of picnic style bench. We liked the improvement! Our only sadness was our agreement with a previous review - not enough spoons and kitchen utensils, but that's a simple fix! We will definitely remember Eagle's View for our next Bowdoinham stay!

Great view, could use some updates

The view is fantastic, the location is great, and we really enjoyed the eagles. The water pressure is very low though, so you can only run water in one place at a time. Plus, with very hard water and low pressure, you can't get properly rinsed in the shower, and laundry doesn't come out too clean. The cheap vacuum barely worked, and there is nothing like a swiffer or mop to help clean up any spills. No grill was provided, so we wound up getting our own. If you're going to be there more than a couple of days, expect that you'll be roughing it.
