About this property

Coastal Village Cottage on Damariscotta Lake- Custom Built One of a Kind Cottage

Newly constructed 4 season home built in the 1930's craftsman style, this little beauty allows for all modern conveniences, while affording its guests an authentic Maine lakeside vacation experience. A gently sloping lawn leads to the bank of 17 mile long, crystal clear Damariscotta Lake, yet is a short drive to the rocky shores of the Atlantic Ocean. A 16'x16' waterside deck overlooks the private deep water dock and swimming float-just steps away from the cottage.
Two kayaks and one canoe are included with the rental that can be launched from the small sandy beach on the property. Exploring the islands and coves of this vast lake this way allows for an up close and personal look at the varied wildlife.
Autumn is especially spectacular in the midcoast region. A few minute's drive to Route 1 brings you along the coast with some of the most breathtaking views in New England.


A large stone fireplace and in floor heat makes for a cozy winter retreat at Pine Cone Cottage. Snowmobiling on miles of trails is just outside the door. Ice fishing, cross country skiing and ice skating are just steps from the house!

Rest and Relaxation at PCC

Very clean and cozy cottage right on the lake! Not far to local attractions and grocery stores and the kids loved what they called the "Harry Potter" room. This is the place to get away from it all! Highly recommend.

This was our second stay at Pinecone Cottage. It did not disappoint. We looked forward to this stay for 6 months and we had even more fun and relaxation this time around. Grateful we are able to bring our dogs. The neighborhood is quiet and enjoyed meeting neighbors. AnniPat and George were extremely accommodating and responsive. We hope to return again soon.

Lake solitude

Brought my family from Brazil to experience Maine. When I asked how they felt about our lake house, one first timer looked deeply into the fog covering the lake and greenery in the distance and, in the most intense voice said, “I love this place!”

Relaxation

We had another wonderfully relaxing week at Pine Cone Cottage. We took advantage of the lake during a couple of hot days, floating on our inflatable floats and watching eagles and hawks fish. Many trips to Damariscotta and a day trip to Boothbay Harbor. We loved our visit to the Damariscotta fish ladder to see the alewives and learn how the ladder is critical to the ecosystem and bait. It’s such a peaceful place to spend a vacation and truly unplug. :-)

Peaceful and relaxing

Our stay at Pine Cone Cottage was peaceful and relaxing. We spent the week enjoying the lake and watching the wild life. The best was when a bald eagle flew over the deck while we were eating dinner. The cottage is charming and beautifully decorated. The owners took a lot of care to create a comfortable home that takes advantage of the lake and outdoor surroundings. We loved our time at Pine Cone Cottage and hope to return soon!

Perfect Winter Getaway

This cottage, while less than ten years old, is built with the design, craft and attention to detail that creates a house that radiates history and warmth. Sited to maximize both light and the view of Damariscotta Lake, this is perfect place to spend a week in the winter beauty of Mid-Coast Maine. The owners are responsive and helpful with anything you might need - although this is unlikely, since they have already thought of everything you will need and provided it. Definitely look forward to returning.

A piece of Maine Heavan

We absolutely fell in love with this house, its beautiful lake and Chris and Ani, our amazing hosts. The home is even more beautiful than the pictures show, the furniture and all the beds are very comfortable. The house really has everything you need and is in a great location for day trips. We brought my mom back to Maine for her 90th birthday and the hosts helped make it extra special. She lived on several lakes in Maine years ago but we can honestly say that this spot and Lake Damariscotta are unbelievably unspoiled. We will definitely be back. Thanks for sharing your amazing home.

Clean, comfortable,, excellent location

Mr wife and I are retired and spent four nights here in mid-September 2022. This is an exceptionally clean and comfortable home with a well-equipped kitchen. The location on the lake is excellent and the dock is perfect for a 17-foot Whaler. We would definitely rent again.

Beautiful Lakehouse - A Terrific Maine Getaway

You can't beat the water access at this house - beautiful views of the lake from the house, the dock is easily accessible, and it's nice that you have both an easy wade in area to ease your way into the water or take out the kayaks or a deep area to jump right in. Our family spent a very relaxing and peaceful week here! There are a few things that would have made it absolutely perfect. The shower in the basement can't be used and unfortunately the shower outside is pretty visible to the neighbors and doesn't get great warm water. This made it a little bit challenging for six adults to get ready. We also didn't have enough hand/bath towels to go around with the linens option and ended up purchasing some in town at Reny's (great department store and worth checking out if you've never been!). Our time overall was really terrific and we would surely stay again.

Great April Break

Our family of five (kids 16-10-10) enjoyed a few days at Pine Cone Cottage. The space is absolutely gorgeous, comfortable, and what anyone would want in a lakefront home. There was plenty of space - the basement offered key hang out room for the kids while the parents enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs looking out the huge living room windows to the lake. It was a great location, offering reasonable distance for day trips to Rockland / lighthouses, breweries and Lake St. George. The lake was quiet this time of year except for the beautiful sounds of loons. Host Anni Pat was great in communication and support for our trip. If there is anything that opens up for warmer weather, we will be sure to jump on it for another stay at PCC. It was the relaxation and mini getaway our family needed!
