Barn Home Page | Riverhouse

This property is special... It's proximity to the Salmon Falls river (which is tidal) is so close that you feel nature and its beauty everywhere. The barn is a separate building on a property shared with a unique architect designed home and offers a private and secluded stay. It is an oasis of nature. The barn blends the vernacular of historic and modern with an emphasis on rusticity.

It is a unique accommodation, suited for intimate and relaxing stays, away enough from the beaten tracks to be quiet but close to all local and coastal attractions.

The area around this property is primarily land trust. There is a wonderful state park and historic home called the Hamilton House. South Berwick is home to Sarah Orme Jewitt and the oldest private schools in Maine. There are several farm to table restaurants that have been highly reviewed in the Boston papers.

Had an amazing stay. So peaceful and relaxing. Mark is an excellent host, nothing is too much trouble. We are sorry to be leaving but this will be our 1st choice if we are back this way.

Nachdem mich meine Familie schon "vorgewarnt" hatte, bin ich mit großer Vorfreude angereist. Rück blickend hat sich alles esfullt. Super Zimmer, Haus und die Umgebung ist unschlagbar. Ich hase hier die Nachte auch dank der Gastfreundschaft sehr genossen.

Vielen Dank! Tusin tak! Thank you very much!

Riverhouse was and is a fantastic find for me and my 9 year old son and 11 year old daughter who were all looking for a warm, friendly, tastefully luxurious home-away-from home while we explored the Southern Maine coast.

Kaitlynd and River made us fell right at home. Wish we could stay longer this time but will in the future.
