About this cabin rental

Sunset Lodge, built in 1919, will return you to a bygone era. Sited on the Eastern shore of Lake Damariscotta on 14 acres of rolling lawn and woods, with 510 feet of pristine water frontage (with great fishing and fabulous swimming directly in front of the property), two dock/floats, a small sandy beach and beautiful sunset views to the west, this property is perfect for family reunions or for several families who want to vacation together, enjoying the peace and serenity of one of Maine's most beautiful lakes. The Lodge has an 80 ft long screened porch for eating or just sitting in the evening to hear the loons. The Lodge has 5 bedrooms (all with a view of the lake); 4 bathrooms, a newly remodeled large and well-equipped kitchen, a large room for group activities, and a new 620 square foot game room with pool and ping pong tables. The Lakeside cabin has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Judy's cabin has 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. There are 2 small 1 bedroom cabins with bathroom. Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen with stove, refrigerator, microwave, utensils, barbecue and wood stove for cool evenings. All cabins have screened porches. There is a shuffleboard court. There are canoes, kayaks and a sunfish to rent, for an additional fee.

Great Fishing: Sunset Lodge is fortunate to be located on Damariscotta Lake, one of the great fishing lakes in Maine. It was sited in 1919, so it's one of the best on the lake. At over 4,000 acres,the lake is large enough and varied enough to please any fisherman, as it has pleased this fisherman for over thirty years.

Take your kids, a few worms, and motor down only a couple of minutes from the cabins. Schools of perch feed in the evenings. Small mouth and large mouth bass can be found along the shorelines throughout the lake. If you like to troll, brown trout, lake trout and land-locked salmon hide in the deeper parts of great bay, straight out from the cabins. There are also large yellow perch, catfish and pickerel. Over the years, it's been a pleasure to fish this lake. Come to Sunset Lodge and share the pleasure.
-- Don Dougherty

Great Swimming: The water is great. Swim off the beautiful new docks or from the shore. Take a morning or evening swim up or down the the lake with its interesting shoreline and eagles flying overhead.

Great Boating: You can't beat the Damariscotta Lake for boating. Sailboats, motorboats, rowboats and windsurfing all popular on this 10 mile long lake.

The property has a shuffle board, a ping pong table, a pool table and lots of games and puzzles.

We had such a memorable trip to Maine and really loved the chance to stay with our full extended family in one property. The property itself is on a beautiful part of the lake with (as you may expect) wonderful sunset views. The main cabin is perfect for hosting meals and hanging out with the entire family. The two fridges and sinks were clutch with this many people. We also loved the game room! Esp on a rainy day.The kyacks and paddle board were really fun on our sunny days. The smaller cabins were fairly rustic nit very "Maine." Overall, it was a very special week for our family!

My two brothers, my sister, and I gathered our families together at Sunset Lodge for a week of connection and fun. We swam, fished, kayaked, sat around the fire pit and cooked s'mores, played ping pong and pool, shuffle board and foosball, swam some more, knitted, put puzzles together, cooked, ate, made a family movie, swam and swam some more, baked and celebrated an anniversary, played guitar and sang, read books, played nukem, told stories, played games, watched sunsets and loons float by. We reconnected in a beautiful place that offered us the space and activities to build special memories. We are so grateful to Noah for providing Sunset lodge for our family. We hope to return. Sunset Lodge is a special place.

Beautiful sunsets, fishing, kids playing at the beach. Nights around the fire pit roasting s’mores before the kids ran off to play in the game room. Fun for everyone. Cabins are rustic and cozy. Lodge is more updated with amazing screened in porch and large kitchen. The property was pretty with flowers in bloom. Was pleasantly surprised at how much closer cabins were to each other. Great spot.

We had a great time at the camp. Plenty of space for the 5 families and great for kids. With the private beach area and dock, it made it fun for the kids. The main lodge was great for dinner gatherings and game nights for all. Our host and the onsite manager were super nice. I would definitely recommend the property for large families with kids of all ages. Thanks Tom

We spent a wonderful week at Sunset Lodge on Lake Damariscotta in August 2020. Vickie, Noah, and Karen have created a beautiful and welcoming space. We were three generations together but socially distanced from the rest of the world. The lodge was perfect - a large, very well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, 2 large family rooms with more seating than we needed, and a game room with ping pong and a pool table that were well used during rainy afternoons. The lake was beautiful with minimal power boats; we canoed and kayak'd on the days it did not rain; we saw deer, fish, loons, and an eagle. The stars were beautiful at night with the big dipper hanging low above the water. The lodge feels remote but is close to towns and the coast. We ate wild mushrooms from the Camden Farmer's market one night and lobsters from the Round Pond Co-Op another. Hoping to make the Lodge an annual tradition in the future!

This lakefront lodge and cabins is perfect for a large, energetic group (our family is 10 adults and eight grandsons). The kitchen was great to work in with two sinks, two refrigerators, and two dishwashers! Lots of tables for games and puzzles. And the ping pong/pool room - wow, that was wonderful on the occasional rainy day and at night for the grownups after kids are in bed! And the two docks are great! Swimming, kayaking, fishing - this is the sweetest water to be in. And outside we also played frisbee, shuffleboard and hide and seek. Our grandsons are already counting the days until they can return!

We rented the whole place for our family reunion of 18 people. The description was very accurate- it was a beautiful, private place. It is so well equipped with games- indoor and outdoor and swimming, fishing and kayaking.. We had beautiful sunsets every night while we ate on the huge screened in porch. The kitchen is awesome. The place is clean and well maintained and the manager was very accommodating. If you want lobster the fish market in Damariscotta will cook them for you and you can bring them back to the lodge for a feast! We would all recommend this property and hope to come back again!

Sunset Point has become a tradition for my family of 4 – our first stay in the Lakeside Cabin was in 2007, and we’ve returned every year since. (That says a lot, because we usually prefer visiting “new” places instead of repeating our tracks.) But we can’t get enough of this piece of heaven on earth! The lake views, shoreline, and sunsets are beyond compare, often with loons calling in the background, bald eagles soaring nearby, and an occasional turtle or mink in the foreground. The setting is incredibly peaceful. The location is perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating, no matter what your age. My boys were 5 and 6 during our first visit, and this year they’ll return as 10 and 11 year olds – as eager as ever to find their seats on the dock and around the campfire. In some years, their grandparents have joined us too, so we have three generations sharing time at the lake or taking easy drives to Damariscotta, Camden, or Pemaquid Point, where there are restaurants, museums, bookstores, hiking paths, etc. The cabins are comfortable and have all that’s needed in terms of basic requirements (hot water, coffee pots, cooking utensils, blankets, books & games, etc.). If we’re not outside, chances are we’re on the large screen porch, playing games or gazing at the lake. There’s no TV in the Lakeside Cabin (thank goodness!) and we leave our computers home, so this is one week of the year when we truly “un-plug” from the usual fast pace of life and enjoy the tranquility of the best of Maine. Over the years, the property owners have made improvements and upgrades to make things even better for guests (drinkable water, new bathrooms, new stove, new docks). It’s clear that they love the place, are good stewards of it, and enjoy sharing it with others. Whenever we have questions or needs, they are quick to respond. The only downside is that our week there always flies by! So when it’s time to go, we cheer ourselves up by thinking about next year… We’re never disappointed and feel so fortunate to have discovered this lovely place.

We had our first stay in the Lakeside Cabin at Sunset Lodge in late September, 2012, and I'm already trying to think of times and occasions when I might return. It is everything a rustic retreat should and shouldn't be. It's peaceful, comfortable, and has everything you need for a restful, contented stay without having any of the fancy distractions that just add up to so much busy-ness. We were two couples and one twenty-something young adult in the Lakeside Cabin, and there was plenty of room in this well-equipped cabin. We were treated to gorgeous sunsets, blissfully quiet dark nights, and a curious loon who came near the dock to check us out. Sunset Lodge and Cabins is a treasure of a place, and I'm thankful the owners have taken on the enormous task of preserving this remnant of a bygone era. Their willingness to continually make upgrades and repairs gives me hope that visitors like us will have a chance to enjoy this little piece of heaven for many years to come.

Our family had the pleasure of staying at Sunset Lodge twice. Our first stay was in September. Our second stay was during Columbus day weekend. I had been looking for a place on the water and found the Lakeside cabin on the internet. From the minute that we pulled into the parking lot we knew that we had found the perfect vacation spot. The Lakeside cabin was just steps away from beautiful Lake Damariscotta. The grounds are surrounded by beautiful pine trees and a large green lawn. We were fortunate enough to see a pair of bald eagles nesting in a tree during our stay. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit at night. And the sunsets are breathtaking! The cabin itself was well equipt and very comfortable. We highly recommend the Sunset Lodge to others. I am already in the planning process to rent all the cabins/lodge with a group of friends for next Spring/ Summer.Dont forget to take a ride to Pemaquid Lighthouse. It was amazing!!!The Dampolo's

Our families came from Austin, TX, Memphis, TN and St Petersburg, FL for a beautiful week at Sunset Lodge. The lodge is quite rustic and every enjoyable. All the kids loved swimming in the lake while the adults enjoyed using the boats to see the beauty of the lake and our surroundings. We had breakfast cooked over the open fire and a wonderful lobsterfest one evening. We only wish it could have lasted longer.
