I stayed here with friends for a local wedding. The home was very cute and well-kept. It is in a great location, making it an easy drive to towns in multiple directions. Our only negative was that we had to take all trash with us and because we left on a Sunday, the local transfer station was closed, so we had to drive for a while with our trash in the car.

This is the 4th year we have stayed and loved it! The new chairs in the living room area were a great addition. The property inside and out was clean and well maintained. This is also close to my parents’ house, and close to Damariscotta, the lighthouse, restaurants, and of course the water. We will be back again next year!

We stayed two nights here for a girls get together. Very private, clean and comfortable beds. The cottages location was perfect for us! Not far from Pemaquid beach and the town of Damariscotta. Also, a nice wooded trail to hike within walking distance. I would say that we were a little surprised to have to make our beds when we arrived. That was a first for us. Although there were written instructions on the doors, we found them very complicated to use. Other than those two issues, it was a lovely stay, and I would definitely recommend!

They need to install a culvert at the base of the driveway up to the house where it’s washed out and dangerously jagged rocks could damage a car or tires. The deck is seriously in need of power washing to remove mildew and lesson slips & falls, especially when it’s wet or after rain. The screen doors on the porch don’t fit tight, so the door latches don’t catch or lock, so critters could get in. Listing says there is access to a pond and island, but no information was provided regarding where it is and how to get to it.

This place is wonderful! It has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable, relaxing stay. It was nice to have a quiet place to return to after a day's activity. We had a great week!

This cabin style house was perfect for us and our grandchildren. Just minutes from the beach and restaurants. House was very clean and very well stocked. It is in the woods in a very quiet neighborhood. We thought it was perfect.

The property was just as listed. The property had everything you could think of from towels, band aids, pancake syrup, bedding, ample dishes, paper towels, linens, toiletries, etc.
It was very comfortable with the ceiling fans, and the grill on the porch was a bonus. It was very spacious for 4 adults. We did not even use the loft, but if we had a bigger party, that is a plus. High speed internet was a big plus as we were able to do research before we headed out for our day trips, I even had to send in my payroll.
A very quiet location, close to the pond and island. The location was perfect for us as we visited the lighthouse 3 times, and it was also close to Damariscotta.
The only suggestions would be a bigger table, more comfortable chairs (instead of the wicker ones), thicker pads for the dining chairs, and better lighting.

We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet at this spotless house in the woods. While the pictures are accurate, they somehow don’t do it justice. Would happily stay there again.

Very nice, secluded, clean property. Relaxing vacation. Property owner is the best.

After some initial problems- no sheets for the queen beds- and a door that wouldn’t lock- both resolved by many phone calls, we enjoyed our stay. Lovely swimming in the pond was a little further away than I would have expected - but overall good experience!

Great Getaway
Property was perfect for us. Convenient to many of the sights we wanted to see, i.e. Pemaquid Region & Lighthouse, Boothbay, Rockport, Camden, etc. Very quiet and peaceful. New Harbor, Round Pond were great places. Be careful going in/out of the driveway. Gully there may be cause you to bottom out/hit bottom of your vehicle. Boyd Pond was very pretty and quiet.

Really enjoyed our stay at this cabin in the woods. It was a lovely setting with pond and nearby trail access. It was close to our family and favorite places in Bristol, Chamberlain and Pemaquid.

Lovely getaway
This property was perfect for our mini vacation. it is charming, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location is ideal for day trips to New Harbor, Damariscotta, and Round Pound. It was very quiet and afforded a lot of privacy. We loved the pond, even though it was too cold for swimming when we were there. The host was very responsive. Will definitely be back!

Remote and peaceful
A lovely small cabin, with a delightful moose theme! Very clean, except that the pipes needed to be flushed to remove the red water. Perhaps this could be done prior to guests checking in. Owners very responsive to questions. The door locks are tricky, and the door to the screened porch cannot be unlocked or opened from the inside once locked. The small table in the front of the living room opens into a larger table, but we didn't figure that out until our last day. Very nice to have that table! Thank you for a peaceful and comfortable stay.

Family Christmas
We needed some extra space for my family to stay in town for Christmas - the cottage was perfect for my parents and brothers to have a comfortable cozy place to sleep. The hosts were very nice and accommodating. The location is very peaceful and quiet tucked away in the forest.

Peaceful, Quiet and Cozy
We booked two weeks here as a much needed get away. The cabin is clean and well maintained. We used it both as a place to relax as well as a home base for trips along the coast. It’s the woods are lovely. We saw the trees go from green to red, yellow and orange during our stay. Chickadees were peeping in the trees and we watched a flock of turkeys amble through the yard one morning. We cooked many of our meals in the well stocked kitchen. The screened in porch was very nice and it was handy to have washer and dryer. The gas stove in the living room was perfect for the chilly evenings. The only thing that would have made it better was more comfortable seating from which to relax ands watch the flames.
Damariscotta is nearby with an organic grocery Co-op, restaurants, shops and an amazing Pumpkin Fest. We also visited nearby Pemaquid lighthouse, Bristol Nature Trail and Pemaquid beach. The cabin is out of the way yet centrally located for day trips north and south along the coast. We visited Boothbay Harbor Botanical Gardens, the Maritime Museum in Bath, Portland Museum of Art, Rockland Breakwater lighthouse, and even went up to Acadia one day.
All in all we have a wonderful time and appreciated the care put into making the cabin so welcoming.

Centrally located
Centrally located on Maine coastal area convenient to scenic harbors & lighthouses. Cottage clean & comfortable & stocked with all the comforts of home. We did have an issue with the “on demand” hot water that I understand is to be fixed. Landlord always quick to respond to all communications.

Great place for a getaway
Charming cottage in the woods with everything guests would want. Easy walk to a large pond for swimming and short drives to an iconic lighthouse, sandy beach, wonderful ice cream store, and Round Harbor where you can eat lobsters cooked to order on the dock overlooking lots of activity.

Great family friendly rental
We had a great stay. Nice and private location with access to a pond (5 minute walk). I liked how it was centrally located on the peninsula so everything was only ever a 10-15 minute drive. Beds were comfortable, screened in porch for eating was awesome, and kitchen was modern and functional. Definitely check out the nearby LaVerna Trails if you stay.

Peaceful get-away!
Owners of the property were very hospitable and respectful to needs of the renters. Beautiful property and close access to a lake for swimming. Liked the privacy. Would consider this cottage again in the future.
