great location, view and layout. Well-appointed kitchen/dining area. Home is extremely comfortable. The property needs new sliding doors, extremely difficult to open/close. I also think a stronger statement on the water limitations is needed. The host is responsive and easy to communicate with.

Nishad was the perfect host. Even though he was out of the country during our stay, any questions I had were promptly answered by the people he left in charge. The house is beautiful and comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. I would give this house more than 5 stars, as it was clean, furnished nicely and had all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay! Thank you for your hospitality, we would definitely stay here again.

Gabrielle and her family were perfect guests. They left the house in perfect condition and even started a load of laundry. We would recommend Gabrielle and her family to any rental.

What an amazing space for my family to stay/gather for my son's wedding. Fully stocked kitchen and thoughtful items in the bathrooms, just in case you forgot something. Space for everyone, whether you wanted to be part of the action, or take a little time for yourself. Lovely bright open concept, and beautiful personal touches throughout the house. I even got some great book ideas for future reading. The deck got a lot of use throughout the day/evening as we watched the color change in the tress out across the river. Nishad was very prompt in his responses to my inquiries as we were planning our visit. They really have thought of most everything to make the stay as enjoyable as possible. I would definitely stay here again if I were to come back to this area.

Owners and local caretaker Kathleen, were very great communicating everything. House was beautiful and had all the amenities. Individual AC units in each bedroom were a really nice addition on the hot days. Would absolutely recommend this place and would stay again next time I come back home to visit my local Maine family.

Fantastic Home!

So glad we came across this home for rent! The location was fantastic and just where we needed and the view from the back deck was breathtaking! The home is very spacious and comfortable! The only constructive criticism I would have is maybe with some of the supplies, there weren't any face cloths and toilet paper was limited, so we went and bought some. Otherwise, totally decked out to accommodate everyone in your family! Thank you very much and we will totally rent here again!!!

Thanks, Lori. I am glad you had a comfortable stay, we enjoyed hosting you. I am sorry that there were no face cloths and that there was not enough toilet paper. Our cleaner normally leaves extra toilet paper in the bathroom closets, and her number is available in our guest book should future guests need to get in touch with her for more supplies. The face cloths should be on your bed when you arrive along with the towels . Do let our cleaner know if supplies are out.

Nice, quiet home set back from the river

We stayed at this property for a wedding because of the great reviews and the distance to everything. We really enjoyed this house and all it had to offer. We really felt at home and the quietness and cool Maine mornings were perfect to wake up to. The only slightly negative thing I would say would be the beds/mattresses are a little dated. So, if you're used to something different, it may take some adjusting. No big deal, just thought I would add. Overall, we really enjoyed this property and I would rent again. Thanks!

Thanks for your review and for your extremely positive feedback, we enjoyed hosting you. In terms of the beds, just to clarify for future guests, the bed in the master bedroom, 1st floor, is certainly dated, but the mattress is brand new and is on the firm side - I suffer from a bad back. The beds and mattresses in the second floor are all from Ikea and are only a couple of years old - you can see them in the photographs.

Absolutely delightful

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for a week this summer. The house is close to everything! The kitchen was well appointed, the beds were comfortable and the renovated bathrooms were wonderful. We loved the deck and watching movies in the TV room. All the appliances worked well and we were grateful for the printer and filtered hot/cold water which not all houses come with. Though we didn't take out the kayaks, we did wander down to the lakeside at low tide and were amazed to find so many live wild oysters! It's a beautiful spot. Lastly, the house is really beautifully decorated. We enjoyed looking at the art and the color combinations. It was a truly lovely home base for our adventures in this part of Maine. Thanks for having us!!

This is our fourth year renting a place with dear friends for a week and we all agreed this was the best pick yet. Lovely house in the perfect spot - great view over the water, 10 min from town, groceries, etc. our hosts were very responsive and the house was in perfect order, with lots of the essential spices, etc for cooking. We will definitely look to rent again.

We loved our stay here! The home is very nice - well laid out, clean, and well-appointed. The view of the trees and the river from the house and deck was beautiful. The mini-splits air conditioning units were appreciated during the several hot days during our stay. We would definitely return.

Comfortable House in Damariscotta

Our group conspired of five adults. The house was big enough for all of us and the beds were comfortable. The house was very clean and quiet. It’s very convenient to the town core.

Lovely house

Really lovely home, immaculately clean and spacious for a large family. Plenty of sleeping options, beautiful huge deck. Owner is super responsive if anything comes up. Upgraded appliances and finishes throughout. On the road but surprisingly quiet. Water access a bit of a hike. Highly recommended.

Nice

House is very nice and spacious. Great location. Some housekeeping was missed and short on household supplies. Main floor shower slow drained so you stood in water. Didn’t realize someone lived in basement separate entrance when rented. Would not stay here if knew. Was informed his bedroom was below main room and when he went to bed. Not ideal for vacation home rental.

Nice place to stay with concerns

Everything was good, Towels and linens needed to be upgraded to hotel quality, One of the twin beds was not a true twin bed in the King size bed room. The Culligan water station was a nice ammenty. The back porch view of the river is awesome. Having a person living in the basement was uncomfortable.

Very good stay

House is very spacious, fully equipped with all essentials, quiet neighborhood and close to restaurants, shops and Hannaford’s grocery store. We were a family of 6 adults (3 couples). The deck and furniture are brand new and we hung out there for breakfasts and at sunset. Host Nishad was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay of five days! Thank you Nishad and Alex the property manager too!

Nice family getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. Some of our pros and cons would be: Pros: owner provided lots of information and ensured we had everything needed to enjoy our week. - house was very spacious and furnished. - centrally locates to beaches, restaurants, And family activities. - house was stocked with everything we needed. - LOVED The foosball table Cons: the only issues we found were the lack of dock for access to river. We were only able to kayak and canoe once with the family because of difficulty in access to river. - We (having three kids) would have liked a lock on the master bedroom door for additional privacy. Thank you Nishad for sharing your home with us during our getaway.

We enjoyed hosting Becca and family and would be happy to see them return. In terms of the kayaks, the river is a tidal river and there is usually a four hour window when you can easily kayak by dragging the kayaks into and out of the water off a grassy bank. However, this is not possible when the tide is low and while once in a while it's okay to use our neighbor's dock, we don't have a dock as we don't own land there but only have access to the riverfront. I do send the tidal times to guest prior to their arrival.
