An amazing night sky

Garden Hideaway was homey and pleasant. We really enjoyed being so close to Wiscasset. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhoods. Beautiful views! Also the deck was a lovely spot to enjoy the garden during the day and the stars at night!.

Tranquil getaway in Wiscasset

We loved staying in the quaint village of Wiscasset in this former sea captain’s home. The backyard and deck were a nice little garden oasis. We enjoyed walking around town. It was a quick walk to a wonderful dinner at Water Street and to AM coffee and delicious baked goods at Treats.

Lovely 19th century house and garden.

First Visit to Maine

We truly enjoyed the space and the host/managers made the experience transparent and easy. The name speaks for itself with the word hideaway in that is was nestled behind a grand, historic house that is on the register. There were a couple of observations we made the host/owner aware of but overall we enjoyed the location and property.

Lovely, unique getaway

What a sweet little surprise the Garden Hideaway was. Everything was clean and well thought out. So well designed in such a unique space. We had a quick trip there as we were visiting family, but it left me wishing I had more time to explore the location and enjoy the lovely patio space.

Pleasant Stay at Garden Hideaway

Convenient base for all of your adventures in Wiscasset, in Westport and Boothbay, and in the wider midcoast region. Quiet side street lined with stately, historic homes from the 1800's. Rental comes with all the conveniences, plus a deck with table and comfortable chairs overlooking the private gardens of the larger house and a dell with tall shade trees, perfect just for sitting and letting your road-weariness melt away.

Cute small apartment in an historic house

This is a small backyard apartment a block away from downtown Wiscasset. The house met our needs. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was small but with enough equipment to prepare simple meals. The house was in walking distance of shops and restaurants in Wiscasset. There was a grill and patio for those who wanted to cook outside. The was a washer and dryer available.

Cozy!

We stayed here 4 nights and enjoyed it. It was comfortable, manageable, and conveniently located in the “prettiest village in Maine”. The bed was very comfortable and even has a feature to heat it. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to reheat leftovers and even had a small (but mighty) dishwasher. Would definitely stay here again!

Pefect little Vacation Getaway

My Wife and I enjoyed a 3 night stay at this Beautiful Garden Hideaway with our dog. Such a nice quiet, cozy, little gem in Wiscasset. This was perfect for us, to be able to attend a family wedding that was minutes away. Everything was clean and tidy and being all on 1 floor was an added bonus for our little guy. Outside was nice, secluded, and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay when we got back from being out all day and wish we had even more time to enjoy some of our surroundings and see more of Wiscasset but gives us a reason to return back later. 5 stars all around!

Beautiful Property for couple or small family

This is a beautifully decorated 1 bedroom apartment on the ground floor of a home addition with access to a patio and backyard. Everything was immaculate, the kitchen was fully equipped, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. You are walking distance from the water and from the lovely town of Wiscansett,
