This is an excellent museum which highlights Bath's proud history of shipbuilding in Maine…read more Although the admission fee is high ($20 or $22), it helps to support the volunteers and activities of the museum. We only had 2 hours available, so we focused largely on the exhibits. The museum includes various buildings which highlight different aspect of shipbuilding from caulking, blacksmithing, and building skiffs (modern day boats used to travel on Maine's coastal waterways). We loved the exhibit on lobstering in Maine - with superb displays that showed why Maine's lobsters are prized worldwide (they have the best claw meat), and a colorful display of buoys and traps. Talking with volunteers about the art of woodcarving and building skiffs was very interesting. It was cool to see the flagpoles (representing the Wyoming schooner) and Bath Iron Works in the distance (a current shipyard for the U.S. Navy). Since we only had 2 hours available from 10am-12pm, we could not join the afternoon lighthouse cruises (which looked like fun). Overall, we enjoyed our visit to the Maine Maritime Museum! You'll learn a lot about Bath's proud history of shipbuilding and the tradition of lobstering in Maine.

I have done cruises, taken classes, and attended dinners here, and each experience was such a treat! I know that I will NEVER again watch fireworks from shore when it was so much better to watch them from the water. I highly recommend becoming a Museum member, not just for the event discounts, but just to have access to the beautiful grounds. I have whiled away more than one afternoon, watching the beautiful Kennebec River and all the wildlife from the grassy shore. This Museum is so much more than a museum; it's a celebration of Bath's relationship with the sea. If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would!

The location is an atmospheric renovated barn, situated above an open field and trees, with winding trails down to a lake. It's full of character - a storied place for sure.

Does not have an appealing Entrance at all . A glass entrance door an some paint would help for starters. The rear patio area is really nice. It was a shame it was drizzle just enough to force so many things not being able to use one of the best parts of why they picked this site. Even if it was extra, having a canopy or tent available would have avoided so much moving around of everything from start to finish. Felt bad for the couple an 90 people there. They had to do so much work to make the interior so beautiful, then move - move- an move again. Just saying. Think about it.........

My son and daughter- in- law chose O'Maine Studios as the venue for their wedding weekend in June…read more2023. The space is incredible with the different areas as options for specific parts of the wedding or reception. Unfortunately, it also was dirty and greasy. Some examples: All the countertops were greasy and most of the available cookware and dishes were greasy, stained (that elbow grease removed) and/or had food remains on them. The vent in the room we had the rehearsal dinner in had thick black dust (maybe mold?) on it and the wall of windows were dirty inside and out. I had to ask an employee to pick food out of one of the trash cans, whose bottom was covered in black mold, before I could replace the trash bag. I emailed a more detailed list to Mr. Strunk and the venue and did get a response from Alexis that said "We will have a team meeting this week to discuss what we can do better with your review and revamp our in-house check list." I hope they do. Most of my concerns would not take a lot of time, money, or elbow grease to correct if they were completed on a regular basis. It seems as if there is no list of cleaning in preparation for an event. If there is, it isn't very comprehensive and/or the person responsible did not complete it. It wasn't until after the event that we saw the review of the venue that said a couple's meal was late because the caterers spent an hour cleaning the kitchen before beginning work. I want a venue with the same standards that that caterer had. This space is very cool, but the client should spend their time enjoying the event and not cleaning.

Coffee for me. After going through the whole venue we went to check out the food area also available to us but not needed. Never knew they had this cafeteria. Nice place for all types of venues whether work or personal event, check them out.

When we first came to check it out, my wife's face lit up so bright I knew it was the place for us! You get an amazing old barn and an expansive outdoor area with breathtaking views! As well as a farmhouse that you can rent and sleep 16 people to give lodging for family and friends. The staff especially our contact/planner and day of coordinator was Sarah who made sure everything went perfectly! If you are looking for a barn venue for your wedding or other event in Southern Maine then definitely check this place out. It was truly the picture perfect venue and we could have not asked for a more special and perfect day to celebrate our love! Thanks to Sarah and all the staff and owners for all they did!

Big enough that everyone could stay together but still have their own space. The kitchen is large and very well equipped. We used the pool everyday and it was sparkling clean.

If looking for a place to stay in the area I would highly recommend. The owner is very responsive even helped us get some items we left behind!

Being a NH local, as soon as we toured The View we knew it was the venue for us. Donna & team made every step of the process exceed expectations - from our tasting to the wedding day it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The food was incredible, thank you Chef Eides! We had people complementing it for weeks after the wedding (the house made lemon cheesecake, wow). We wish we could go back and re-live our day over and over again because it was that good. The service and execution that Donna, Eides, and the entire Pepperrell Cove staff offer is next level. We can't recommend this venue enough. Thank you SO MUCH for making it the best day of our lives. Taylor & Justin Jones

I planned the…read moreevent on a short timeline and Donna was great to work with throughout the process - very responsive and accommodating. Of course the view of Pepperrell Cove is breathtaking, but the real star of the show here is the food. We were able to custom tailor the menu to be exactly what we wanted to serve, and it was all made on-site from fresh ingredients - something that is not easy to find at event venues. My family is Italian, from New York and hard to please when it comes to food, and they were all raving about every single dish that was served. Donna's assistance leading up to the event in coordinating with vendors and her hands-on presence during event night made the process seamless. I didn't have a wedding planner / day-of coordinator, and ended up not needing one - she made everything happen perfectly, even making sure our elderly guests had easy access to their seats. I couldn't recommend The View more for a wedding!
