West Bath is located between Brunswick and Bath, on the east bank of the scenic New Meadows River which defines (with Casco Bay) the western edge of the historic Phippsburg peninsula. The Kennebec River is to the east of this peninsula. SpruceLedge Cabin, reached via Birch Point Road, looks west across the New Meadows River to the northern portion of Long Island, just above Birch Point Light and Winnegance Bay to the south. Thomas Point Beach is about 3 miles upstream on the Brunswick side, and a marina and kayak-rental service are located upstream also. The city of Bath and its many attractions is about a 15-minute drive to the northeast, on coastal Route 1 where it crosses the Kennebec River, upstream of historic Fort Popham and the beaches of Popham State Park at the river's mouth.

Post-Season Sep 6 2008 - Oct 24 2008 $995 n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 1 Week
Notes: A per diem (daily) rate of $250 may be available. Minimum of 3 days.
Payment is usually accepted in the quoted currency unless the currency and the amount is specifically agreed in advance with the owner / advertiser.

  • Unless arranged otherwise, SpruceLedge Cabin is only available Saturday-to-Saturday. Minimum age 25.
  • An acceptable Saturday-to-Saturday rental agreement (7 nights) is required at least ten (10) business days in advance of occupancy. If less than 10 business days are involved, a special handling fee of $75 will apply. Following receipt and acceptance of your inquiry, a rental agreement form will be mailed to you for your completion and to use in remitting your deposit or payment . Tax and cleaning fee are additional. A 15% booking-security deposit (minimum $250) via certified check or credit card is required, which must be received and deposited in your rental account prior to confirmation of your reservation in accordance with your Rental Agreement.

    Though peak season rates and occupancy are weekly, Saturday-to-Saturday, a peak season monthly occupancy of 4 weeks at a lower weekly rate may be available--- but book early to be sure !
  • Lower rates apply in the pre-season, after the Labor Day holiday week in September, and in the post-season. Inquiries for such non-peak occupancies at per diem rates (minimum of 3 days) will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The pre/post season rate is $250 per night (a minimum of 3 nights), $295 per night for the Labor Day holiday week, and $375 per night during peak season weeks--- a bargain when compared with rates for similar modern, well equipped, deep-waterfront vacation properties in such an accessible part of coastal Maine. Though unlikely, under per diem circumstances the rental agreement may require the scheduling of additional associated non-weekend cleaning services at the renter's expense.

    We accept MasterCard and Visa credit cards (a 3.5% processing fee applies).

    The 2008 rental season begins May 3 and closes October 25 (see rate chart). Try us in the mild pre-season featuring long daylight hours, or during Maine's gorgeous 'leaf-peeper' season in the fall !

Amenities' Details Laundry (washer/dryer) in storage room off deck. Jotul 'chill chaser' (gas) stove in living room. Entertainment/Computer Access: CD / DVD / VCR / AM&FM radio / Cable TV / High-Speed Wireless Internet Access. Telephone: Unlimited local, long-distance and international service provided (bring own answering machine). Outside: Deck includes patio furniture seating 4-plus.

Private deep water dock with night-time lighting, adjacent heavy-duty mooring and 24-ft float with additional attached crew-float has 24/7 utility (no mud outs), 30-Amp AC power and fresh water for boater tie-ups. On-site Services: Pre-arrival and post-departure cleaning service included, with additional frequency to be arranged as desired.

Amenities' Details (Cont') Cell phone reception at SpruceLedge Cabin is good, depending on conditions and where caller is standing (outside on deck, inside, etc). The hard line telephone offers unlimited calling, but bring your answering machine if you want one. Suitability: SpruceLedge Cabin is only available for rent to people who are responsible and generally at least 25 years of age. The cabin is suitable for anyone who is able to walk up and down a secure, well built, woodsy, nighttime-illuminated, 74-step pedestrian riverbank stairway/ramp system (see photos), or an adjacent gravel trail of about 150-feet in length varying from 0-20% in slope (approximate). Therefore, though having a spectacular view, private access to the water and modern amenities, the property may not be suitable for anyone needing close supervision or who is physically infirm; so please ask about your own circumstances.

Amenities' Details (Con't) Picture this--- you're sitting on the deck surrounded by the quiet woods, or you're down on the dock catching a fish for dinner--- and you're watching the sun set in a spectacular sky over the far shore. Or, on a beautiful morning with the sun just peeping over the ridge behind you--- with a hot cup of breakfast coffee in hand--- you're on the deck, high above the river, watching the local lobstermen haul, harvest and re-set their numerous multi-colored pots, the wide variety of other boating activity on the river, and the abundant wildlife. Great blue heron, ducks, ospreys, if you're lucky even a resident pair of bald eagles pass by your gaze--- or perhaps you've gone down to the river to arrange for lobster drop-offs from one of the local fishermen, just in time for a classic Maine dinner--- ' finest kind '' !! For a real Maine Coast vacation, what can be better than that? Please inquire about your own reservation now !
