Owls Nest offers lakeside enjoyment inclusive of views down the length of Biscay Pond, kayaks and paddle boards with which to explore, and even a swim platform anchored close to shore. The 'nest' itself is nicely situated on a private lot and offers all the comforts of home. Hosts Irina and Vincent have neglected nothing. They're also readily available to address questions, make recommendations, etc. One visit alone will convince you to plan the next.

What a beautiful house! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Owl’s Nest. We loved the tasteful decor, new appliances, comfortable furnishings inside and outside, all absolutely immaculate! Our hosts were very welcoming and provided every amenity. We had fun swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing in beautiful Biscay Pond. The views of the pond from the house are breathtaking. And we watched (and heard) lots of loons. 10 out of 10! Highly recommended!

The views of Biscay Pond are enough to recommend The Owl’s Nest, but the location is also hard to beat. It was the perfect home base for all of our activities between Camden and Boothbay. The house is so clean and tidy it was easy to get comfortable and relax. It was fully stocked with everything needed, including the outdoor gear. Don’t miss the binoculars on the bookshelf. We were lucky to see a bald eagle catch a fish and two loons trying to warn it off. The hosts were extremely welcoming and responsive. They provided lots of info on the area, from where to eat to where to paddle. It was well worth the 12 hour drive for us and we would absolutely stay again. Can’t recommend it enough.

Alyssa, thank you for making the long journey to Owl’s Nest. There is something surreal about watching the life of the lake unfold just beyond the windows, and we are so glad you were there for one of those moments. We hope you will return for more Owl’s Nest adventures.

This is an amazing house. Amazing views. Right on the water. A great place to kayak, and fish. Very close to town but the feeling is you’re all by yourself. No neighbors next-door can see your activities. We have stayed at this house five times with separate guests. All of our guest thoroughly enjoyed the experience in the house. The kitchen is well stocked and allows for any kind of cooking. We will be back.

Always the best week of the year! We returned to the Owl's Nest for the 5th time this summer and enjoyed an amazing week. We love enjoying the views from the two decks, and going out on the paddle boards and kayaks to explore is always fun. Our daughter has grown up here and we can't wait to come back again and continue making memories.

Nigel, we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful lake views and the central location of our house! Even though November is a quieter time at Owl's Nest (those few weeks between the stunning foliage and the onset of many winter activities on Biscay Pond), the lake still charms with its tranquil vibe, and the Damariscotta area entertains with many local year-round businesses & seasonal happenings.

Owl's Nest

The best thing I can say about Owl's Nest is that we stayed there last year, again this year, and when we come back we will hope to stay there again. The house couldn't be better and the location is idyllic. And on top of that Irina is just the best.
