Out in the country, overlooking a lake, quiet , peaceful, cows lazily walking in the fields nearby.My friend did a painting from the deck, across the lake, showing two islands, beautiful. another one of the cows in the field near their barn, called the Cow Palace!They had a Keurig, plus a drip pot coffee system to choose from for morning coffee.Close to stores, restaurants and scenic walks. Strong contender for couples, peace and quiet. J&L

John thank you for your review and feedback after your stay at Damariscotta Lakefront Retreat. We are glad to hear that the home and location met your needs while on your Maine getaway. We love to hear that the location with the islands and cows gave a creative space for your friend to paint from the home as well. We hope you come back and see us soon.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Great location, clean and the house had everything that was needed. Can't be beat the view and the sunrises every day.

6/10 Okay

Mostly Great, but….

The location is exceptionally good. The lake, the views, a few minutes from town and services. The cottage is very nice and for the most part very well kept…except for a few issues: the stovetop was dirty when we arrived, the bathroom towel racks wouldn't hold the towels without falling down and the upstairs shower curtain was frayed. The towels and bedding were very plush and clean. The dock was described as a tie up for a boat, but it was really just for swimming and sitting.
