About the host

Hosted by Frederick & Laura MacFadgen

Host profile image
We’re the Macs, and Maine has always been a special place for our family. Fred grew up spending time in the Damariscotta region, where his grandparents lived in nearby Damariscotta Mills.

In 2020, we took over the family home after the passing of Fred’s father, affectionately known as “Mad Dog,” following a long health battle. Since then, we’ve lovingly updated and cared for the property while preserving the warmth, character, and memories that make it so special to us.

Hosting gives us the opportunity to share a place we truly love with others looking to experience the beauty of Midcoast Maine - from lake days and kayaking to local food, small towns, and peaceful evenings outdoors.

We hope your stay is filled with relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable memories. Explore, taste, connect, and enjoy all that Maine has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We love this area because it offers the perfect balance of peaceful Maine nature and easy access to everything that makes Midcoast Maine special.

Nestled along scenic Davis Stream near Damariscotta Lake, the neighborhood is quiet, relaxing, and ideal for guests looking to slow down and enjoy the outdoors. Whether it’s kayaking to the lake, enjoying a beach day at Damariscotta Lake State Park, hiking nearby preserves, or gathering around the fire pit after a day exploring the coast, there’s something here for every season.

We also love how centrally located the home is to many of our favorite Maine destinations, including Damariscotta, Camden, Boothbay Harbor, local breweries, oyster farms, hiking trails, and small coastal towns.

The property itself was designed with families and groups in mind, with large gathering spaces, spacious bedrooms, and a dining table perfect for everything from lobster dinners to summer holiday celebrations

What makes this property unique

What makes our property unique is the combination of space, privacy, and authentic Maine charm.

Unlike many crowded vacation areas, our home is located in the quiet town of Jefferson, where guests can experience a more peaceful and local side of Midcoast Maine while still being close to lakes, hiking, coastal towns, restaurants, breweries, and outdoor activities.

The property itself offers rare large-group functionality, with spacious open-concept living areas, oversized bedrooms, multiple gathering spaces, and room for families and friends to comfortably spend quality time together. Whether it’s sharing a lobster dinner around the dining table, relaxing on the screened porch, kayaking to Damariscotta Lake, or enjoying evenings around the fire pit, the home was designed to create memorable experiences together.

One of our favorite parts of the property is the peaceful outdoor setting. Guests can enjoy incredible stargazing by the fire pit at night, fall asleep to the sounds of nature along the stream, and fish for bass right from the backyard waterfront area.

We also love that guests can enjoy the feeling of “getting away from it all” without sacrificing convenience, modern amenities, or access to some of the best destinations in Midcoast Maine.
