Almost perfect

We enjoyed our stay here. The property, location, view were great. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is the listing advertised a washer/dryer but when we arrived, the instruction book told us we weren't allowed to use it.

We can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was at this cabin! It was right on the water with a beautiful view. The village is gorgeous, the pier is so fun to walk and be out on the water anytime you want. It was centrally located to everything that we wanted to see and everyone we wanted to visit. We will definitely be returning!

Awesome and relaxing stay!

This cottage right by the water was such a lovely relaxing stay. The house was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and the couch was comfortable! It was easy to find the cottage, as it’s in a great location (relative to downtown). My only gripe is that I didn’t stay one day longer! I look forward to returning!

Perfect spot for some away time

A perfect spot to enjoy some outside time in the Midcoast and shop in Damariscotta, browse the bookstore and have a nice meal at King Eider's. I'm on school break and just wanted to get away for a couple of days not too far from home.

Edgecomb river view

We were delighted with Edgecomb cottage. The view across the river to Wiscasset and the bridge was beautiful. Everything you would need is there, kitchen, table,( with stellar view,) sofa, and outdoor seating. We loved it! The best part was our pet was able to share that with us!

Cute little place-perfect for a couple

We have stayed on this property several times- in different cabins and the lodge. This cabin is very clean and well taken care of. The unobstructed view of River is beautiful, especially at sunset. I think this is the cabin we will call “home” now whenever we visit the Edgecomb/Damariscotta area.

Cabin on the river

Wow! What a view out the front window of the Sheepscot River, downtown Wiscasset and beautiful sunsets! Very serene. Nice neighborhood for walks with puppy dog. The cabin is a good size for two and has just about all the conveniences we needed. Only disapppintment was that we did not have access to the washer and dryer. Great place!

Lovely

The village had very few occupants so we enjoyed the peace and quiet. I have watched this village over 60 years and finally was able to stay a few nights. We were not able to find a hairdryer so some bad hair days were present, otherwise a nice stay.

Giving Thanks

My daughter and i are starting new traditions and loved our stay! We were at the ocean all day and came to the cabin and heated up homemade turkey pie and enjoyed a feast overlooking the river. The cabin was cozy and perfect for our time. We woke up to a chilly morning perfect for reading our books and drinking tea before heading out. Thank you!

Good location with a beautiful view

The location was great, and very easy to get to. House was very clean and had the necessities to cook with. Only thing I wish there was that this property did not have would be a porch to sit out on at night. Otherwise great place, a little pricey but can’t complain for the summer months.
