Waterfront Bliss in Bath

About Cynthia Jarvis

I spent my working life as a Presbyterian minister in Wooster, Ohio, Chicago, Illinois, Princeton, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I retired in October of 2019 after 45 years. Since July 2020, when the pandemic forced me to cancel all summer and fall reservations, I have been living in Bath. I wake every morning to the ever-changing Kennebec River! I loved ministry but I also love Maine. I first started coming up in the 80s. When I arrive in my cottage, I am purely happy and awash with gratitude.

Why Cynthia Jarvis chose Bath

My first cottage was on Georgetown Island in Bay Point, looking over to Ft. Popham. I was where the Kennebec opened onto the ocean. I loved it but had a brackish well, overboard discharge and only a woodstove for heat. If I were to retire full-time in Maine, I knew I wanted to be in the same area but with city water and sewer! My saltbox in Bath is the best of both worlds. I am still on the Kennebec with easy access to amenities.

What makes this Cottage unique

I truly loved the light, the simplicity, the location and the neighborhood on a dead end street in Bath. It is so easy to explore the coast, enjoy a night in Portland, hike the Camden Hills or just read a book on my deck and listen for the fish to jump. It is my home and I hope you feel it is your home for the time of your stay.
