About this house rental

5 Generation camp on Damariscotta Lake recently remodeled to its original flare. The camp is located on end of Damariscotta Lake in Nobleboro, Maine. Vannah Road does run in front of the camp so there is traffic. Best fishing on the lake where you can get Brown and Lake Trout, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Pickerel, White Perch. We have a huge sandy beach (across the road) with large docks for sun bathing, fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, and jet skiing. (we have a paddle board and two small kayaks and jet skis and boats can be rented nearby)

The camp has a very open concept where the kitchen has a five-burner gas stove with convection oven for entertaining or to help with that lobster bake outside and a small breakfast table. The main living room has a couch. The porch is awesome for reading and has full sunlight all day long with 12 windows across the front of the camp to look onto the lake, with two large couches and coffee table- great to listen to the loons, watch the kids swim or play in the large yard, and have a great cup of coffee and read magazines or a good book. We have a great fire pit on our patio where you can hang out and roast marshmallows for s'mores. Great wildlife and birds abound. Our loft can sleep several kids and is fun to play in and has toys. The loft is not made for an adult couple unless you like to be cozy. Updated modern bathroom with sink and shower with a tiled floor.

Great location, with kayaks and a paddleboard that let you walk across the street to enjoy the beautiful and serene lake. Great place to walk the dogs as well. The cabin was well appointed. The only small inconvenience is the fact that you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the bathroom. For a family, not a problem, but would be more challenging if e.g. two couples were to share. We’ll try to rent this again!

Great area to vacation
Great area to vacation
Overall the camp worked for our family. We were a group of five adults which may not be the best for this camp. We didn’t know that in order to get to the bathroom you have to walk through a bedroom. I didn’t see that in the listing and wasn’t told that info when we booked. That works fine if you have small children perhaps but it was challenging and disappointing for five adults. Also the loft does have a queen bed, unfortunately the head room is quite low. Again, difficult for adults. We did love that there were kayaks and a paddle board available as well as a dock. Also we were looking for a camp to bring the dog so that was a plus for our family. Also the lake is beautiful and quiet during the week. The road in front of the camp is very busy and cars drive very fast and park awkwardly all over on the weekend. Overall we had a lovely stay and liked how close this camp was to so many quick day trips in the area.

It was beautiful on the lake but I had to clean everything when I got there
It was beautiful on the lake but I had to clean everything when I got there
It was a great property- but I had to clean all the dishes and outside furniture before we could use anything. The chairs were flimsy and my husband broke one just sitting down on it so we replaced it. I think the cleaning fee was way too high for what we walked into. The lake was beautiful to wake up to every morning, but the traffic was high, people drove too fast for being so close to the road and there were constantly people parked all over the street in front on the house due to the boat launch being right there. I also had to clean the dock for a good half hour because of all the duck poop, we weren’t even able to walk onto it before I cleaned it. There were cobwebs all over. I hate to give bad reviews- but it’s an honest one. The property owner was great, and responsive, and let us check in a half hour early. It’s a camp- not really a cottage. I love the family history of it- but I also this it is priced too high for what is offered. We would rent again, at a lower fee- if it was cleaned properly.

Great Getaway

Nice property, great to have kayak and paddleboard, nice dock and lovely views. Owner and property manager extremely nice and communicative. Big yard, nice to be able to bring our little dog. Loft was good for sleeping as were bedrooms. Great internet connectivity, TV etc if you want it. Would come again. A few things for consideration: 1. The street in front of the house can get a bit busy and people SPEED. So keep your pets close and your little kids closer. 2. The house is near the public boat ramp, so there is some traffic and noise from this -- nothing crazy, but it gets a bit busy on the weekends and other mes. 3. I like cooking. The appliances are wonderful but the pots/pans/cooking tools/plates/etc. could do with an update. I'm not looking for gourmet style, but it's an odd and old-ish collection. The house location overall is nice -- a short drive into town including great ice cream, grocery store, park, etc. Overall a great place, great owner and great time. Thank you.

Respite during a Pandemic!
Respite during a Pandemic!
This is a sweet, family-owned camp that soothes the soul. It is clean, well-supplied, and the owner is responsive and helpful. Normally we would have spent time in nearby Damariscotta but, being out of state, we quarantined. I swam between 1-2 miles on the lake every day. The grandchildren swam and enjoyed the neighbor's slide. We all enjoyed the paddleboard and kayaks and loons and frogs. I enjoyed time with my family and without Zoom. I ate well. My spirit was re-nourished. I remembered that every day we are one day closer to the end of the pandemic.
