About this property

Quiet Riverfront getaway to enjoy Midcoast Maine!

Hagen’s Hollow
Enjoy the wonderful ambience of this quiet riverfront getaway ideally situated to explore the Maine coast by river or by car. Take in the fresh salt air, listen to the birds sing, enjoy sightings of bald eagles, seals in the cove at high tide, and clammers hard at work, earning a traditional Maine living.

The Space
2 BR, 1 BA, sleeps 4
Hagen’s Hollow offers all you need for a comfortable stay. This 1,500 square foot space is located on the lower level of the owner's home. It has two bedrooms with queen beds (blow-up mattresses available for extra children) a large, newly renovated bathroom, well-equipped eat-in kitchen, spacious closets, washer and dryer, living room area with TV, stereo and WIFI, a screened in patio with direct riverfront views, outdoor fire pit and grill.

The unit comes equipped with two single kayaks and a double. There is a path close to your entrance where kayaks can be put in (it’s tidal and water/mud shoes recommended) and another put-in area approximately 800 feet away, or about a minute’s walk. Here, you can sit on park benches and enjoy the views of a small island, the local oyster farms (this area is called the Napa for Oysters), or enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day as you take in the splendid westerly views and gorgeous sunsets.

Guest Access
Guests can access the unit through the side yard where there is a lit path leading to a private entrance. Please note that there are stairs and a sloping pathway, therefore if you have walking issues or are handicapped, this may not be the property for you. The owners occupy the upper level of the main house, but you will not see them unless you need assistance.

Nearby Attractions: This location is 1.5 miles from the center of town, an hour north of Portland, a 20-minute drive to Pemaquid Point lighthouse, Boothbay Harbor and Bath; a 40-minute drive to the charming village of Camden, and just two hours to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

The area’s highlights include: lighthouses, Pemaquid Beach, Colonial Pemaquid State Historic Site, lakes and beaches, artists’ galleries, a local movie theater, award-winning restaurants, antiquing, hiking, nature preserves, fishing, birding, Monhegan Island, whale watching, breweries, distilleries, golf courses, farmers’ markets, lobster pounds and oyster farms. There’s something to delight both young and old alike.
In case you haven’t heard, Damariscotta was recently voted the #1 spot to visit in Country Living’s article, “40 American Towns You Haven’t Heard of but Should Visit ASAP.”


We look forward to welcoming you to Hagen’s Hollow.

This was our fourth stay with Lisa and Rick. It feels like our home away from home. We are so comfortable here and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Loved the serenity of kayaking on the Damariscotta and we so enjoyed our day trip to Monhegan Island. It is such a magical place and we plan of visiting again. We are now looking forward to our return trip for Damariscotta's Pumpkinfest. We are sure it will not disappoint.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Hagen

Host profile image
We LOVE midcoast Maine and our neighborhood on the Damariscotta River. We moved here from Miami 12 years ago and it is the best place we have ever lived. We think you too will enjoy our location and all it has to offer to enjoy the Midcoast.

Why they chose this property

We have a wonderful neighborhood that is very lightly travelled and great neighbors. You can walk up and down the neighborhood to get exercise and there will be no traffic to worry about.

What makes this property unique

You have direct waterfront views where you will experience nature and the tides coming in and going out. Seals often visit our cove looking for food. Eagles are a common seen in our neighborhood and on our property.
