What a wonderful week we had at an adorable lil cottage on Damariscotta Lake. It had everything you could possibly need and was close to route 1, downtown Damerscotta and Moodys diner. Tastefully remodeled, they kept all the charm of yesterday and more. Kayaks and canoe included and it had a nice fire pit. Lovely hydrangeas through the yard, it was a charming place to get away. Bonus was the loons singing at night, sigh, imiss it already.

Unfortunately, our stay was extremely disappointing due to both the condition of the cottage and how our concerns were handled.Upon arrival, it was clear the cottage had not been properly cleaned. There was splatter under the toilet, toothpaste residue covering the bathroom sink, vegetables left in the kitchen sink, and a noticeable layer of dust, crumbs, and animal hair throughout the entire place. The refrigerator and freezer were packed with someone else’s food, including open and freezer-burned items, and the coffee maker still had old coffee grounds in it. We contacted the host politely and simply asked if the cleanliness issues could be addressed so we could feel comfortable. Instead, we were immediately told we were wrong and that the property was perfectly fine. We were then bombarded with messages about refunding us and having us leave. We never asked to leave or requested a refund. Because we were traveling with two dogs and had extremely limited options for alternate accommodations after driving 10 hours, our group decided to purchase cleaning supplies and clean the cottage ourselves so it would be livable. Out of fear of retaliation and being left without accommodations during our vacation, we waited until the end of our stay to contact VRBO. Unfortunately, VRBO was not helpful in resolving the situation. We understand that a cottage doesn’t need to be perfect, but basic cleanliness and respectful communication should be expected.

The cottage was perfectly clean. Carla does all the cleaning herself and is a perfectionist. This is a classic case of a guest fabricating issues, then asking for a refund, which is EXACTLY what happened. We sensed that this was the direction that the visit was headed and offered her a full refund, even offering them two free days to find another place. Thanks to VRBO for recognizing an obvious scam. Sad that there are guests that would stoop so low...
