About the host
Hosted by Marie McDermott
I am a New Englander from Massachusetts who grew up in a small town outside of Boston.
Maine has always been in my heart spending summers in the Newcastle/Damariscotta area where my family has roots.
For the past 40 years, I summered in Maine with my family enjoying all that Maine has to offer.
I have traveled extensively throughout the United States from coast to coast and have come to realize that there are few places that compare to the beauty of the Maine Coast !
We have been in love with Maine through the years continually building friendships and building our own "Maine Cottage". We thoroughly enjoy the Summers here, Spring and Fall , and on occasion, Winter! It has been our retreat and our home away from home.
Not too long ago we bought a cottage and 6+ acres of golden meadow on Damariscotta Lake hoping to impart the wonderful Maine experience to others; thus, "Golden Meadow Cottage" evolved.
We renovated it from top to bottom, inside and out, in hopes to make it the perfect Maine cottage for a perfect summer vacation.
It has exceeded our dream and expectations and we are extremely proud of it. Through Golden Meadow Cottage, we hope you will discover and experience the same enjoyment and pleasures that we have come to know here in Maine ..... "THE WAY LIFE SHOULD BE" ......!
