* 'This house was perfect for us! It worked out very well for our children who really enjoyed themselves. The 'info-binders' were our bible for the week. A great idea! Our son and daughter enjoyed seeing the horses every day. Thanks for your hospitality.'
* 'We are in vacation heaven. What a great cottage, what a great area to visit. Hope to see you next year too!'
* 'It was just what we were looking for! Peace, quiet and seclusion, comfortable house and great weather'
* 'Thank you for letting us stay in such a lovely house- what a wonderful setting on the lake! We love the open space, all green and sunny, and had many dips in the lake-lovely and cool, but not freezing. This is our second year on Biscay Pond and we look forward to coming again. Can't beat the wonderful Pemaquid scenery, good food and friendly people.'

A poem from a guest
It's Saturday and to our dismay
We must take leave from Cottage Biscay
It's been a week of non-stop fun,
Biking, boating and lying in the sun!
Our hosts Karl & Mary were simply great
And our kids enjoyed staying up late!
We'll miss the lonely cry of the loon
And the warm pond that beckoned -
morning night and noon!
Even as we load up the car,
We watch the animals, Sandy and Star.
As we close up the cottage and shut the door
We can't wait to come back in 2004!

Mary is a great host.
5.0
Very nice 4 night stay. Definitely has the feel of grandma's old bakehouse, but was perfect for our needs. We cruised the coast everyday and used the cottage as home base. We picked it so my 19 and 20 year old girls had their own beds. My daughters spent the evenings down by the floating dock, while my wife and I sat on the deck with the view of the lake. Overall, exactly as owner describes it and picture are accurate.
5.0
We loved the location and had a wonderful stay. Master bedroom was fantastic. Mary was quick to respond to our communications. Wish there was a washer and dryer, but that's a rarity in most rentals in the area. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay on Biscay. The cabin is cozy and perfectly located to enjoy nature by the lake with the town just a short drive away. Many thanks to our hosts for making our stay so wonderful!
5.0
Mary's place was absolutely lovely and we had a great week filled with water play, hiking, and exploring the area. We especially loved the large open lawn for yard games and play with our 5-year-old. The property has a really nice entry point into the lake with a sandy bottom - absolutely ideal for swimming and kayaking! We saw a bald eagle flying overhead one morning while kayaking.
Beds are comfy, and the house is perfectly equipped for vacation fun. Kitchen has the basics that you need for cooking and eating.
Mary was very helpful but also gave us our space and privacy. Couldn't ask for a better host!
If I had any feedback, it would be that the dock was a bit unstable - normally we like to put chairs out on the dock and sit at night, but it pitched back and forth too much for that, and our son was a little worried to walk on it.
All in all, we loved Mary's beautiful place and her hospitality. Recommend 5/5.

Biscay Sunsets was a great place. Beautiful views, convenient to Damariscotta, the cottage was very clean and the host Mary was delightful.
5.0
This was a wonderful place to stay. We are very familiar with this part of Maine, and found this home to be perfectly located to enjoy the peninsula. The house itself is great - very cozy, clean and well equipped and maintained. The location on the lake is fantastic - very beautiful and peaceful. It's also a great place to kayak - we kept our kayaks down on the lawn and entered and exited the lake easily. Mary was a great host - very friendly and engaging. We'll certainly be back.

Have been to this beautiful home several times From the peaceful location on the water to the excellent hospitality from owner, this is it Very close to town and Round Top (ice cream) and only a short drive to booth bay Thank you Mary

Mary's place on Biscay Pond is beautiful. The house was clean, nicely appointed for cooking meals together, and very comfortable for the three of us--a lovely place to sit and watch the lake and listen to the birds in the trees. The property's big open lawn area offered plenty of space to play outdoor games or read in the sun. We especially enjoyed taking long paddles up and down the lake, watching the loons, and sailing our small boat from the float.
5.0
What a wonderful property. Mary was a great host. Peace and quiet combined with beautiful scenery. We hope to be back again!

This was the most cozy quiet beautiful place it is so open with so many windows to look out and enjoy the beauty of this place and Mary was awesome she even called us several hours before we got to her place I would highly recommend staying here

Cozy well equipped cottage with super easy lake access. Convenient for kayaks. Clean and comfortable and the gas fireplace was very welcome on a cooler morning.
5.0
It was the best place we ever stayed. Everything in the house was made with love and was imbued with the owner's perfect style. The house has absolutely everything you could possibly need. The nature around is delightful, large lot, very quiet even in high season. Surprisingly, just eight minutes by car and you are in a lovely town with cute stores and restaurants. For fishing enthusiasts: you'll be in heaven. The homeowner Mary is a charming very friendly woman with a brilliant sense of humor. We plan to come back here next summer.
5.0
The cottage was bright, clean and comfortable. Beds where very comfortable. View of and walk to the lake was perfect. Great location, with convenient access to many attractions and places. Totally enjoyable and peaceful stay.
5.0
Fabulously quiet property, right on the water, easy kayak launch, Mary the owner is just wonderful, I felt like I was at "home" in her house. Could easily accommodate to be a 3 bedroom by using the side porch. We will definitely be back! Miss the loons calling, sigh
5.0
Property was more then we expected! Our trip brought great fishing off the shore, amazing wildlife observation, amazing food, great little shops, and locals who are welcoming. Great location and only a two hour drive to Acadia National park, book your sunrise spot early!

Mary's cottage was comfortable, clean and in a quiet setting on the water. We brought our own kayak and paddled the entirety of Biscay Pond as well as the lower portion of Pemaquid Pond (via a passage way at the northern end). We also day tripped (45 min) to Camden for some hiking and exploring there. The peninsula itself offers many "lobstah on the dock" opportunities as you explore the many working harbors. The wonderful Pemaquid lighthouse sits at the far tip with it's great rock outcropping.
We had everything we needed to prepare meals, the bed was comfortable and the shower water hot (though low pressure). The heater took the chill off the September evenings.
We would certainly consider returning for another stay.
2.5
My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing stay @ Mary's place on Biscay Pond. We enjoyed kayaking right from the cottage and exploring both ponds. I think our highlight was watching the loons and osprey. The location was close to town, but felt like miles away. A great place to stay while exploring the area.
2.5
We spent a week here and had a blast! The cabin itself was the quintessential lake house: quaint, mismatched but cozy furniture, immersed in nature, and the perfect homebase for all the area had to offer. There were kayak rentals, ice cream, swimming hole and nature walks in 10 mins. Pemaquid Beach, the Maine Botanical Gardens (our fave) and lighthouse 20 mins away. Boothbay a half hour. Restaurants everywhere.
We had everything we needed, and Mary was responsive when we needed to reach out. If you are looking for a fancy lake house, look elsewhere. If you miss going to your grandma’s lake house, and want to create that memory for your own kids, this is for you! There was a toy box full of odds and ends toys that our kids played with all week, and they had a big lawn to run around and, of course, a lake to swim in.
“A fun, nice and cozy cottage. I really liked fishing and swimming there, jumping in the lake and swimming and we never wanted to go home.”—6 yr old son
“Basically, I loved the whole thing.”—4 yr old so

This property was everything we hoped for and more. The house was clean, plenty big for the 3 of us, and the property itself was spacious and gorgeous. We are on the deck, lounged on the lawn, easily put in our kayaks, hung our hammock, and regretted not finding a night to enjoy the fire pit. There are only so many days in a week! Mary was friendly, responsive, and helpful. We have come to the Damariscotta area for years and this spot was centrally located to all our favorite places. The lake was a wonderful size and we enjoyed paddling up to Pemaquid Lake as well. Saw tons of wildlife - especially bald eagles and loons. Highly recommend staying here.
2.5
This property and our rental experience were absolutely perfect. Everything was exactly as described and Mary was an excellent host. We will definitely return
2.5
We had a lovely week. The cottage is spacious and clean, with a wonderful porch and a deck from which we enjoyed watching the many birds who came to the feeder. Even though our stay coincided with a heat wave, the ceiling fans kept the cottage cool and comfortable, as did dips in the lake. We would return without hesitation.
2.5
Very pleasant, clean cottage on small pond. Easy access to supplies in town or for outings. We liked the porch and new deck and dock. Good swimming but boats must be rented. No AC but ceiling fans are good. Limited TV channels and no wifi. Owner available if needed and very helpful!
2.5
This property offers quiet and solitude while being in close proximity to town and to local attractions such as Boothbay Harbor and Pemaquid Point. The cabin was charming and comfortable, with beautiful views of the lake, to be enjoyed either from the back deck or from the Adirondack chairs at lakeside. Mary was a wonderful host! Thank you for sharing a slice of the lake life with us!
2.5
We enjoyed Mary's camp immensely. Such room with the big MBR and the spaciousness of the yard. We could have played a game of football. The lake is perfect, water temps were ideal. Kitchen had everything (except cheese grater). So much to do, see in area. Must come back.Thanks Mary!
2.5
Very welcoming. It was a wonderful experience. We are planning to return next year.
