The Loft at Back River Bend is a unique and charming space. The high ceilings and wall of windows overlooking the bend in the river provide always-moving beautiful views.
The Loft is well appointed with a rustic feeling and very comfortable furnishings; overall this is a Wow!
And the hosts were always responsive and attentive. Thanks, Katie!

Das Loft gewährt durch seine erhöhte Lage einen wirklich atemberaubenden Blick auf das Wasser und man hat seine absolute Ruhe.
Nachteile sind die wohl schon länger defekte Klimaanlage im Hauptraum. Dafür gibt es zwei Ventilatoren um die Schwüle unter dem Blechdach weg zu bekommen. Das schaffen die Ventilatoren allerdings nicht und der Fest eingebaute macht die Ruhe der Natur zunichte. Trinkwasser muss man kaufen, da das Brunnenwasser aus der Leitung leicht salzig ist und zumTeil "muffig" riecht. Die Möbel sind teilweise selbst gebaut!
Insgesamt zu teuer. Würde ich nur bedingt weiter empfehlen.

Great getaway in Georgetown
The loft was cosy and the river view was amazing, even better than what we expected. Katie was very nice and helpful. They even provide a pass to access Reid State park and Popham beach which was a nice bonus, we used it 4 times during our stay. As others have stated before, the water smells bad, but it's not that big a deal. They even provide a few gallons of bottled water to get you started. All in all we were satisfied and would recommend it.

Great location and wonderful setting
We've just returned home from our week in Georgetown at one of the lovely cottages in this peninsula. On our way up we received a surprise text from Katie letting us know the cottage was ready and we could check-in a little earlier if we had wanted to. When we did arrive the cottage was exactly as we had expected and the views were fantastic. On our first walk in the grounds we met Katie who was very welcoming, provided several suggestions for food, and asked to let her know if there was anything we needed.
We have 2 toy poodles and were really happy that they could come along for a reasonable fee (Some owners on here asked that we list them as 2 extra people!!! Seriously? They are like 30lbs combined and don't shed). They had a blast and the surrounding towns were always so welcoming of the dogs. Practically every shop has a water bowl out for them and that just made the trip so great. Everyone was friendly and very considerate of the dogs (Even the little children asked if they could pet them).
We went several times to the Five Islands Lobster Co to enjoy the amazing views, and sat out eating a variety of delicious food with the dogs. We would definitely recommend this to anyone staying. The staff are really nice and everyone is just having a good time.
Overall, we wouldn't hesitate to go back. The area is wonderful, cottage is an excellent price and well situated, and the food is simply delicious. Thank you Katie for hosting us and our boys.

Great view nice location ok accomodations
Up over a walkway over a roof to a storage room which you go thru to enter your space. The loft is good size with a kitchen/living area bedroom and tiny bathroom hard to sit straight forward on toilet because of how close sink unit is. Windows looking out to river are great. We were told an exhaust fan would help run the air thru the loft but it did not work. Internet was extremely finicky. Could not figure out how to get tv to work. Water "full of minerals" ( salt is a mineral) be sure to use bottled for drinking coffee brushing teeth. We used the loft for sleeping, bed was comfy, having breakfast, making lunches for our kayaking trips and it was fine late in evening to sit quietly and read some evenings did wish for a screened in outdoor space as weather was quite warm while we were there. All in all I think we got what we paid for.

Great place!
Minus only one burner working on the stove, the Loft was a very nice cottage to stay at.

Great spot for a cozy, serene vacation
The loft we stayed in, with its breathtaking views, made for a peaceful and relaxing vacation. The place was very comfortable and everything we needed was there for us to enjoy a cozy stay. Since the loft does not have a balcony or dock facing the water, there is ample space outside to sit and enjoy the fresh air.
Upon our arrival, we unloaded our belongings and drove back in town to get food. The few gallons of water provided to start us off were a nice addition.
The surrounding towns we took time to discover during our stay were little gems (Bath, Brunswick, Phippsburg, Bailey and Orr's islands, Harpswell, to name a few). Reid State Park and Popham Beach were great places to spend a lazy afternoon. Long stretches of sand and water, a bit too cool to swim but a very comfortable place to take in the sun, breeze and the sound of the waves while reading. Thanks to Sam and Ruth for providing a pass to the parks/beaches. It was well worth it!!
Although we had brought our bicycles, we did not get much use for them since the only trail we found was a short one in Brunswick. Even if the area is bike friendly, since we were not familiar with the area, we didn't venture out on the roads.
A day-trip to Portland, Maine was also quite enjoyable. Maine is THE place to have seafood and we enjoyed it every day of our stay. A great place to get fresh live or steamed lobster is a mere 20-minute drive away, at the Five Islands Lobster Co which we visited on a few occasions.
Overall, the Loft, with its great views, is a perfect place to stay if you want to explore and discover the surrounding areas.
