Occupying nearly five lush acres of land, this 4BR/3BA home offers outdoor serenity and a newly renovated interior. The property sits in a private cove on the south end of the lake, very protected and quiet. A trail through the backyard provides direct lake access. Paddle a canoe on the calm waters or sip morning coffee on the seasonal private dock.

A wraparound deck is outfitted with plush seating and alfresco dining space. When you’re ready to venture out, it’s a short drive to the heart of Damariscotta as well as charming cities on the coast.

Gas fire pit on deck perfect for relaxing in the evening and roasting s’mores

Newly renovated, this two-story home delivers chic design and an inviting layout. Highlights include upscale furnishings, a luxe kitchen, and a wood-burning fireplace.

LIVING AREA

An abundance of windows flood the living area with sunlight. Relax on the sofa or armchairs and stream new Netflix shows on the smart TV. A wood-burning fireplace provides added allure.

The reading nook has a sofa and a children's library.

KITCHEN & DINING

Sparkling granite countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in kitchen pantry are sure to please home chefs. As dinner simmers, perch at the kitchen bar for three.

Share your culinary creations at the table for eight.

BED & BATH

Sleep soundly on a king-size bed with hotel-quality linens in the master bedroom. Spa-like features of the en-suite bathroom include a double vanity, a deep clawfoot bathtub, and a walk-in shower.

The second bedroom holds four twin-size beds. An adjacent bathroom is configured with a walk-in shower.

The third bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed and a chic desk, while the fourth bedroom includes a queen bed. A third bathroom includes a tub/shower combination.

OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES

The wraparound deck invites relaxation. Plush lounge seating includes a sofa and two armchairs. Barbecue tasty meals on the gas grill and dine alfresco at the table for eight.

The five-acre lot allows plenty of space for outdoor games and nature walks.

A convenient trail through the backyard guides you to the lake. Kick back in Adirondack chairs on a seasonal private dock that extends out over the water. Take a dip on warm days or launch a canoe for an aquatic adventure.

Great home, needs a sign at driveway!
The house was great, very clean and comfortable mattresses. The upstairs bed frame (bedroom with queen, lakeside) was quite squeaky and affected our sleep. We missed the driveway about three times as the mailbox is between two drives and the driveway is very hard to see. A sign, reflector or something would be super helpful! We could not find any coffee carafes (there were two coffee makers) so we opted to order a coffee box from Dunkin Donuts. After a few texts with property management we found out it had been reported broken but had not been replaced. One was never delivered so we decided to buy a coffee maker and left it at the house. That was a little disappointing (just not something you want to deal with while on vacation). The lake was beautiful and proximity to town was nice. We would recommend the house but expected more from the management company.

Great home for large group. We had 5 adults and plenty of room for us and more. The home was very nice and clean and close to things we wanted to do. Check out Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens if you are in the area. Would be a home we would rent again.

Gem of a spot!
We had a wonderful time at this house! We had 10 girls for a long weekend and the house was beautiful, there was plenty of room, the deck was spacious and the dock access was perfect. We will definitely be saving this location for future trips !

Unexpected surprises
Stay was fine-exhaust fan on stove broken; noticed odor from master bath area-had to leave window cracked to dissipate smell. Construction going on next door. A lot of heavy trucks went by on road making it noisy during the day. Unable to get regular channels on TV-not a fan of TV package. Had problem entering on arrival due to someone locking door improperly from inside. Caretaker arrived to collect trash & was able to let us in. Glad we didn't get there at night. Cleaning people should be more careful how they lock the door.

Maintenance Issues
Chandler was amazing! She came to the property the next day after we arrived and did everything she could to fix the problems and was patient and understanding. However, the excellent service stopped there. Our dishwasher stopped working and we were told it could not be repaired during our stay because servicemen were in short supply. We had no use of the dishwasher and had to wash everything by hand. We were surprised that your company did not have skilled personnel to take care of this. When we asked for a late check out all we got was excuses and delays and promises. Every time I sent a text message I would get back an automatic reply as if no one was really paying attention to us. We finally got an answer that they would charge us $40 to check out at noon instead of 10 AM. No consideration was given to us for all of the inconvenience that we suffered. A very disappointing experience other than working with Chandler who is an asset to your company. The property was extremely clean and beautiful. However, I think it is important for guests to know that the road is close by and there is a lot of road noise even at the back of the house. Also, the house behind us was being renovated and that was also occasionally disruptive. That was something that should’ve been disclosed in the property description to prospective guests.

Quaint Maine neighborhood close to several activities
This property is located in a beautiful setting on a lake. The porches offer several areas to view the wildlife that visit the property and the home is welcoming with lots of amenities. We enjoyed being located so close to Damariscotta and other coastal towns and trails. The hosts have thought of everything and made our stay an amazing one.

Beautifully renovated home with nice dock on Damariscotta Lake
House is nicely appointed and spacious. Very large deck with gas firepit, large gas grill and plenty of seating; dock on the lake with comfortable chairs and beautiful view of lake. Kitchen well equipped and all new appliances. Two upstairs bedrooms have one AC unit in hallway - upstairs gets pretty warm when temps are above 80 degrees outside. Otherwise house was great for our family reunion.

Clean, Great Location and Brand New!, But......
We loved the location, amenities in the home, the dock and deck were all top notch. Beds were comfy and warm inside with easy entrance and security. Only issue was periodic smell in the kitchen after shower/washing machine use. It smelled like septic backing up, but only after use of the shower/washing machine and only in the kitchen. We contacted property manager and she called the plumber 3 times, with no response. She was very responsive to our concerns via text. A handyman showed up the next day and could appriciate the smell, but on a lesser degree. We only had a 4 night stay, so unsure if problem persisted or if it was due to the system not being used in the days or weeks prior. Overall great place with everything you need, just the smell kind of made it tough at times, but would clear out in 15 minutes after shower use with opened windows...luckily is was cool (October), but not cold outside.
