Recent Wiscasset vacation rental reviews

The check-in was easy. The place was spotless. The bed was comfortable. You can see the river from the patio and walk to shops and restaurants. Even though it is only few hundred feet off of Rt. 1, it was very quiet.

My husband, myself, and our one year old son were able to stay here for a weekend getaway. It was absolutely perfect, beautiful rooms, historical. It was clean upon arrival and had everything we needed. I LOVE that the funds from renting out this space goes toward the preservation of the overall house. A great idea! We would absolutely stay here again!

This is a very roomy apartment with a wonderful deck overlooking the river to enjoy an adult beverage. It’s in a very old building but is well furnished with vintage but comfortable furniture. It’s well located within walking distance of restaurants, lobster shacks, a wine and oyster bar and cute shops. It is on the second floor if steps are an issue. So much to see and do in the towns around Wiscasset.

Where is Wiscasset, ME?

Sandwiched between quaint Edgecomb and charming Dresden, Wiscasset is located in Lincoln County, in midcoast Maine, near Boothbay Harbor. It boasts more than 2,000 acres of preserved land, much of it part of a historic greenbelt. 

Outdoor Activities in Wiscasset, ME

If you love nature, you'll love Wiscasset. You can enjoy solitude, hiking nearly 20 miles of trails. Start in the village and enjoy the historic homes and scenic harbor views. The West Woods and Morris Farm trail will lead you through 200 acres of land, over streams and bridges and through the Sortwell Memorial Forest and Morris Farm. The latter is operated by a trust that encourages sustainable farming and hosts educational programs. You can admire Clydesdale horse, holstein cows, and a resident goat. The Water Trail is just what it says: a trail down the Back River that is best enjoyed in a kayak or canoe. The Back River Trail on the Cushman Mountain Reserve takes you through woodland and meadows to a scenic outlook. End your day traversing forest and salt marshes on Chewonki Neck, concluding at historic Eaton Farm.

Wiscasset, ME Historic Sites?

More than 200 years old and made of granite slabs, the 1812 Jail is one the most visited sites in town. Once the jail for the entire state, it stopped housing prisoners in 1953. Today, guests can tour the facility and see what life was like for the 50 prisoners that were housed here, as well as the jailkeeper's family, who lived next door. Castle Tucker is a well-maintained Regency-style mansion that was built in 1807 and renovated in 2014. Once the home of a prominent shipping family, visitors can tour the interior and gardens and enjoy picture-perfect views of the Sheepscot River. A barn and carriage house still remain.

Another historic home built in 1807 that is well worth a visit is the Federalist-style Nickels-Sortwell House. Once a private residence, then a tavern and hotel, then a residence again, the home came into semi-public hands in 1958. You can admire antique wing chairs, braided rugs, and various portraits of the former owners. 

Wiscasset is also known for its art galleries featuring local artists. The Wiscasset Bay Gallery highlights 18th, 19th, and 20th century paintings and sculpture, including works by William Trost Richards, Charles Woodbury, and Abraham Bogdanove.
