Lovely spot

We greatly enjoyed our stay here on Damariscotta Lake. It is a beautiful and relaxing spot. We enjoyed the swimming, camping and stargazing. The house is well-outfitted and quite comfortable, and the owner very responsive.

4th of July vacation

We had a great time at Janet's home, the kids loved the paddle boards and swimming off the dock as well as fishing and tubing on the lake.

Fantastic experience

Janet's property on Lake Damariscotta is exceptional! My colleagues and I stayed at this place for a few days while at work nearby. The house is isolated and quite private. The rooms are really nice and the kitchen is well-equipped with all necessities to cook a meal. The highlight is of course the deck and access to the lake, makes for some spectacular sunset viewing. Also keep a look out for loons on the lake! Janet was very communicative and ensured a smooth stay. We would definitely consider staying again if we are in the area.

This is someone’s home. Their clothes were in the closet. When you have had a summer house for a long time you get used to foibles and ignore them. The stairs down to the water are at different heights with a very flimsy rail, the downstairs is very damp in humid weather with the floor really becoming wet and slippery. If you are used to navigating them it is probably fine but a real problem if you aren’t used to them. The owners were very attentive when we had a problem and the sunsets were spectacular

Cute House in Quiet Location

This cute house in a quiet location has a lot of up side and potential. The owner is a clear communicator and extremely helpful. I was a little disappointed that the linens, towels, and cookware needed replacement which the owner is working on based on some direct communication. Also note that the walkway down to the lake is a bit narrow and steep with a so so railing. It is not accessible for older people who are a little unsteady on their feet, and it may be a challenge to carry a kayak to the waterfront.
