This tastefully updated family cottage with a private dock on Damariscotta Lake was built for year round enjoyment and guests. Nestled in a quiet cove with resident beaver, spring peepers, late summer bullfrogs, and frequent visits by bald eagles, osprey, owls, loons, this is a phenomenal retreat for nature lovers and anglers.
The two level floor-plan comfortably accommodates two families with their children (or 3 couples) and includes some less private (but totally sweet!) spots for the few extra friends who make everyone's time more special just by showing up.
The Queen Bath Suite is on the top floor (ground level access/treehouse feel lake side) has a queen bed with sunrise view over the lake. The peachtree gardenview en-suite bathroom has two sinks and a tub/shower.
Below is the King Lounge Suite, with a private lakeview lounge area and a king bed, also with a sunrise view over the lake.
The back corner of the daylight basement is the Bunk Den, set up for a gang of good kids to enjoy. The bunk bed is a twin on top of a full, with a trundle twin to pull out below. Plenty of room for up to 4 kids.
In season (all summer and early shoulder seasons of Spring and Fall depending on how intrepid you are!), the futon couch on the screened-in porch can sleep up to two more. The loons, frogs and owls are especially fun to listen to from out there! Couches and sleeping pads will accommodate the last minute neighbor's kid or other plus one -- up to two more, bringing the total to 12 overnight guests for part of the year and 10 overnight guests when its too cold to use the porch.
The well appointed kitchen with large table is perfect for gathering everyone for meals. The open plan allows easy flow to seating areas throughout the two floors, screened in porch and outdoors. The lakeview patio has the grill and the dock has seating and a fleet of paddle powered boats for your use. (Ask about docking your private boat.)
The three bathrooms make sure everyone can take care of business when they need to. One shower and a shower/tub are hardly necessary with all the lake time, but sometimes soap is just the thing. If you get chilled, try a good sweat in the infrared, cedar sauna.
If you need some civilization, the cottage is only 20 minutes to Waldoboro or Damariscotta, each with grocery stores, theaters and restaurants. Camden/Rockport/Rockland with their thriving festivals, historic schooners and unique attractions are ~40 minutes away. Several sandy ocean beaches are within ~1 hour, or Damariscotta Lake State Park's beach is just around the bend. There is a restaurant and general store 5 minutes from the cottage where you can get essentials like GREAT pizza, milk, beer and wine. For those with a strong paddle or their own private boat , the store/restaurant is also accessible by a dock.
This delightful lakefront home is offered for the first time for you and your loved ones to come make memories. We think you'll be back for more!
