Hosted by Of Sea and Pine, Maine Vacation Rentals Ferndale House is a special retreat nestled in the woods, overlooking the Kennebec River. Owned by a children’s book author, the home is named after the imaginary world where her fictional characters live. Fittingly, the property is surrounded by ferns in the dells and glens, and borders 63 acres of conservation land. Guests are invited to stroll the shoreline path or explore the whimsical “Dragon Spine” trail, where young hikers can imagine tiptoeing along a dragon’s back. This peaceful, private setting encourages a slower pace, with plenty of space inside and out for families to relax, reconnect, and escape the whirlwind of daily life. Enjoy abundant wildlife and mesmerizing river views from this quiet woodland hideaway. Though remote in feel, Ferndale House is just a 15-minute drive from Bath, a charming coastal city with restaurants, shops, and essentials. Please note: There is no water access at the property. Swimming and boating are not permitted from this location. No dogs are allowed at this property. A vehicle is needed to access the home and surrounding areas; Uber does not operate in the area. 🔑 Key Features: Kitchen/Dining/Living Room: Fully stocked kitchen flows into an open dining area and a spacious living room.

Recognized as a Distinctive Destination by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Bath features historic brick and granite buildings, locally owned restaurants, bakeries, bars, and shops. Stroll the peaceful side streets to admire beautifully restored 100–200-year-old homes—or hop on the town’s beloved trolley, “Charlie,” to see the sights. Bath is also home to Bath Iron Works, a world-renowned shipbuilder founded in 1826\. We encourage guests to visit the Maine Maritime Museum to learn more about the area’s deep shipbuilding roots. 🌊 Things to Do Nearby Beaches: Just 25 minutes to Popham Beach State Park and 35 minutes to Reid State Park, two of Maine’s most breathtaking beaches. Pack a picnic, grab a book, and spend the day seaside. Boating & Fishing: Charter boats for fishing or sightseeing along the Kennebec River or in nearby Casco Bay. Local Trails: Explore conservation land trails or follow the Maine Beer Trail and Maine Oyster Trail, both great ways to enjoy local flavors with plenty of microbreweries and oyster farms close by.

It’s spacious and well laid out with all the amenities we needed. It’s quiet and we were able to watch a lot of wildlife off the deck overlooking the Kennebec. Close enough to Bath to be convenient, the house was off the beaten path and really gave us a feel of local living. We will come back. ##### Analisa M.
