We had an amazing stay at the Riverside Motel. My father had worked there for the Staples family 72 years ago when he was 16 and, at 88, expressed an interest in revisiting. After speaking with the owner, Geoff Scimone, to determine that I had the right place, he expressed an interest in my father’s situation. Little did we realize... More

Thank you mixedcutie for reviewing the Riverside. Our staff loves it when people mention how friendly they are, and how unbelivably clean the Riverside is. Those are our two most important goals. We are glad you depended on Trip Advisor and found us. Thank you, Geoff, and staff More

As a frequent visitor to Ogunquit I love to share the magic of The Beautiful Place By The Sea with relatives and friends. This past weekend I returned to Ogunquit for my second visit this year and settled into the Riverside with a group of five friends. Geoff was very accomodating and took great care to ensure our stay was... More

I selected this place by doing a search of places in Ogunquit. Almost every place required a two night stay, but the Riverside did not, and the price was very good. The location is perfect! Right on Perkin's Cove. The staff was very friendly, the place perfectly clean. The even had a complimentary continental breakfast. The grounds were immaculate and... More

When my friend and I decided to sneak away for a "ladies night away" we wanted something quiet and peaceful - yet close enough to shops and restaurants that we could walk everywhere. What we found was a small piece of heaven - The Riverside Motel. The views are spectacular and the rooms make you feel like you've stepped back... More

Thank you Ms Pamela for reviewing us for T/A. This small piece of heaven has been home to travelers since the 1800's. Sometimes it takes people dozens of years of looking at the Riverside Motel from the other side of Perkins Cove before they walk over the bridge, and then discover the magical peacefulness that is on this side of...

We just had three great days in Perkins Cove! The Riverside Motel is right on the cove and the view from our room (even from ground level) was amazing. We were able to walk right out our door to sit in the lawn chairs on the lawn overlooking the cove and then when it got cool, move to the chairs... More

I remember well our first stay in 1977. I thought the location and view were impossible to beat as well as the room which was clean and neat. To be able to walk out in the early morning and watch the lobster boats leaving and then walk the Marginal Way to see the sunrise is one of my best memories... More

Regret that it took this long to write our review , but the Riverside made our Maine experience wonderful. We were only there for 3 days but the rooms, view and service were great!

Read all the great reviews of Riverside and found them to be true. We plan to go back again since we were only there a few days and was very relaxing. All the rooms have beautiful views. My wife loved having her morning coffee and watching the fishing boats going out. Make your reservations early. More
