Great bit of real Maine

A week with extended family here was exactly what we hoped for (despite imperfect weather). With plenty of inside space and a huge kitchen it held our large group with room to spare on the rainy days. When the sun was out we paddled on the river, swam in the lake, and drove to some of the great coastal towns close by for the classic Maine oceanside experience. Wonderful slice of downeast rural life!

Great house with many local gems to experience!

My Book Club of 7 women all enjoyed our stay at this house. It had 5 bedrooms and enough beds for all of us to have our own. Also, it is large enough to spread out for some time alone as well. The outdoors were wonderful too- the large deck, firepit, and the use of kayaks that were there. The general store just down the way is a "gem" for sure- we visited many times for breakfast, lunch and even pizza for dinner. The state park about 1/2 mile away has a beautiful sand beach and view. We also took a day trip to BoothBay using the suggestions in the guide. My favorite place in the house was the screened in porch. I highly suggest this house for large groups. It is wonderful!

Great place to Stay

The house was your typical farm house with all the charm and quirks of an older home, but had all the conveniences of a modern home. I love to cook so we made many meals in the big kitchen. We were a family of 12, 10 adults and 2 children so we really enjoyed the space available for everyone to spread out for some privacy and yet come together when we wanted to. The weather was perfect so we spent a lot of time outside on the back deck and the front porch. Unfortunately, a storm come through the night before our stay and we did go down by the stream due to some tree damage, but I think the 9 and 10 year old would have loved playing down there, looking for frogs and fishing. We enjoyed the firepit. The house was centrally located to where we wanted to go. We would definitely go back.

Comfortable Traditional Maine House

Seven of us—grandma, son, daughter, grandchildren—spent two lovely weeks in this comfortable home easily accessible to Damariscotta Lake and Park. Returning visitors, we drove to our favorite places both on the coast and inland but also spent time relaxing in the house and on the grounds. The weather, which varied from overcast and rainy to warm and sunny, did not disrupt our days. The many fans available in the upstairs bedrooms made sleeping comfortable on a few hot nights. We cooked in the well-stocked kitchen and on the outdoor grill and roasted marshmallows over the fire pit. Our only complaint, which everyone in Maine shared this summer, was the unusual number of mosquitoes. A collection of bug spray was provided.
