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 !

We enjoyed our stay at Stille Wasser. We loved sitting by the open fire in the incredible fireplace that is the center piece of the living room. The house is filled with unique thoughtful touches throughout and has a european flare to it, as you might guess from the name. The location is quiet and secluded as the title says (which is what we like) but still close to Old Orchard Beach and Portland. We went to Kennebunkport for the Christmas Prelude festival and enjoyed walking around the town and exploring the local shops. Barry was a great host and was responsive and friendly throughout.

Perfect location

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.

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!

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.

Great place to stay in Maine

Secluded enough to not see anyone but also close enough to Portland to go and get a good meal. Having a spot on the river was great too.

Quiet Cabin in a beautiful location

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.

Quiet getaway

The property was tucked away in the woods which gave us the quiet getaway we desired. But was close to Portland where we visited great restaurants, entertainment and shopping. We also enjoyed hikes and the local orchards. A wonderful trip would highly recommend this location!!!

Location Relaxation

The week was perfect weather-wise and gave opportunities to explore the river and area. Barry’s 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.

Serenity in the woods

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 Barry’s. 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.

Amazing home in the woods

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 I’ve ever seen / the colors were so vibrant . The only negative of the entire stay was the screened in porch smelled terribly of cats - we couldn’t use it - but we just kept the door shut and used the rest of the house !! We will definitely be back !!

Great time away

We absolutely loved this property! It was very clean dispite some other reviews. Very quiet and tucked away. We were at peace the whole trip! The entryway does have a lip to it but as soon as you realize walking around it becomes second nature. Beautiful house, beautiful property, beautiful lake. It was the perfect location for our honeymoon and very greatful pets are allowed. The 2 dogs and us had a great time! Beautiful area. We found a lot of nice driving locations through limerick. Barry is a great property owner. He got back to us very quickly even though it was a very awkward time to call someone. Thank you for our great stay!!

Peace and Quiet in Unique Property

We had a really good stay at Stille Wasser. Kitchen is nicely appointed with high end appliances, and since my husband and I like to cook, we really enjoyed these upgrades. Bed is comfortable and there are plenty of extra linens. That said, we agree with other reviewers regarding lots of cobwebs throughout the house and the tripping hazards in the entryway and front stairs. Setting is peaceful and quiet. It rained during our stay so we didn't get to experience the river. Barry is a 5 star host!! Communication was excellent.

We would definitely stay again and plan on it

Some quirks to keep in mind…. The walk to the dock is a hike but we enjoyed it.. it is very dusty so if you have an allergy just beware.. listen to the property owner.. do not leave doors open or open the windows. The entire house stays at a comfortable temp! The shower is small.. and keep in mind there is no tub.. (my son missed that) the home is beautiful and equipped with all you need.. everything is about 15 mins away which we enjoyed being so far out in the woods.. bring bug spray! You will need it..

Welcoming home away from home

The house was very comfortable for the four of us. Nice location for points south and more northern while feeling remote and private. House had great amenities. The river was calm and beautiful to be out on the canoe. Nice and cool in the hot weather. Good communication with host. I think the house would be challenging for folks with mobility issues. The water and dock are quite a steep path down through the woods. The house has multilevel flooring throughout the first floor. We weren’t there for Tv, but if you are, understand it is hung 15ft in the air above the livingroom. We loved Pacifico restaurant, Laudholm beach, Cape Elizabeth and the Prouts Neck Cliff walk. Very nice stay
