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.

Beautiful, artistic home/cabin with modern touches in Maine! Stayed between Christmas and New Years and truly enjoyed the amenities and allowing our 2 dogs to accompany us. While it was cold and snowy/icy outside, the radiant flooring kept the house perfectly comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for coffee, tea, and serving meals at the home. Beds were very clean and comfortable. The quiet and private setting in the woods with a peek of the Saco river, with the beautiful views outside the many windows was just what our family was looking for to relax and unwind from the holidays. It was awesome to feel so private and in nature but be a short drive to Portland and all it has to offer. Highly recommend this home and hope to stay again in the future.

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.

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.
