Lakefront Cottage, 35' from waters edge!

This charming fully renovated cottage, located on pristine Lake Pemaquid, is 3 miles from the center of the picturesque village of Damariscotta ME. It sits 35' feet from the water's edge with a private sandy beach. On a private road, our cottage is on a lot surrounded by nature, beautiful sunsets and relaxing days.

The lovely cottage, recently renovated with a bright new kitchen, granite countertops, living room with a wall of windows over looking the lake, solid wood floors, comfortable beds, internet access, Smart TV with cable and Netflix, a new fully equipped kitchen and an open floor plan that is inviting and relaxing. The deck off the living room is a perfect place for morning coffee, lunchtime barbecues, and cocktails in the evening. The large wooden dining room table will comfortably seat 6.

Sit on the private back deck off the master suite and watch the sunset, read a book or sunbath. Have your morning coffee in privacy, open the sliders for fresh air and listen to the sound of the loons at night. Master bedroom has a firm king mattress. Television and small sofa also located in master bedroom.

The second bedroom has a queen size bed with a ladder in the corner of the room which goes up to a small loft area. The additional loft space above has one futon mattress on the floor that could fit an older child or teen.

There is laundry room with washer, dryer and sink. The driveway will accommodate 3 automobiles.

Please note! A few hundred feet from the cottage is Lake Pemaquid Campground, with amenities such as a pool, hot tubs, children's entertainment, hay rides, a basketball court, tennis courts, playgrounds, horse shoes, paddle board, etc. You can rent paddle boats, kayaks, etc. from Lake Pemaquid Campground. The Campground hosts local bands on the weekends with drinks and dancing, the place is bustling during the summer season. We have an established relationship with the campground owners, who for many generation have let the local residents on our private road use the campground facilities. Their only request is that the guests are respectful and considerate of the property. Please help support their business by purchasing items and food from the campground store. Common sense goes a long way, no dumping trash, no parking on their property and follow all campground rules.

Our cottage is on a private, wooded lot but just a few hundred feet from the campground.

The 50' foot aluminum dock is a great place to sit and soak your feet in the water, or to tie up the rented kayak or paddle boat. Go fishing for brook trout, perch, brown trout, bass in Lake Pemaquid or take a short drive to the many surrounding lakes in the area.

Great location and beautiful lake, but not cleaned well
Long story short, loud on weekends due to children at the attached campground, unclean, but really beautiful location and nice amenities. Just bring Lysol wipes. TL;DR My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights, and while the property was really nice, I have a few words of caution for future travelers...The most important was the cleanliness, or lack of rather. There was food stains all over the kitchen island, food dripping off the outside of the microwave and oven, and the bathrooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned at all. In fact, the master bathroom had toothpaste splashings all over the mirror and faucet, the tub had two empty razor cartridge caps, and the towels were either really dirty or badly stained. And thats not even mentioning the laundry someone left in the washer or the hair in the bed sheets or the unemptied trash cans. Honestly with my wife being a nurse, she was horrified to see such high touch places lacked cleaning so we spent the first hour and a half sanitizing everything! Once we did that, the place felt really nice! On another note, if you are looking for a quiet weekend retreat, this is not it so keep looking. The house is 300 ft from the campsite, but that is way closer than you think...the noise of all the children yelling and skateboarding at the attached skatepark all night Saturday really sucked...thankfully Sunday and Monday were quiet. To leave on a good note, the lake is beautiful and the amenities are really accessible at this location. We found ourselves really close to Hannaford, which was perfect and taking the inflatable boat out was a breeze!!

Lakefront cottage
Fabulous views from glass fronted cottage. Perfect for a couple or a family with young children. The second bedroom with the four bunks is quite small and there really isn’t a 3rd bedroom - just a small lift area with a low ceiling accessed by a ladder through a small opening in ceiling of second bedroom.

Great summer lake house getaway!
We had such a great week on the lake. The house was perfect for our family of 4 and the location could not be beat. We loved being right on the lake - fishing off the dock, swimming in the water, and jumping off the campground float a short swim away. It was also great being so close to the campground - we took good advantage of the pool, minigolf, the playground and the float out in the lake. The host was great to communicate with. Highly recommend!

We want to come back!!
This place was amazing! We want to come back again very soon. Our kids had a blast using the campground playground and pool next door. Even though it rained the entire trip, we had a peaceful and relaxing vacation. The location was close enough to great restaurants and shopping. We explored the lighthouse and the whaleback shell place. The lake was beautiful and so clean. A Momma loon and her baby hung out by our dock the entire time.

Perfect place for families!
The owners were a pleasure, thoughtful, and responsive to the needs we had during our stay. The location was as described in the listing as well which was wonderful and private. Having its own sandy beach area was super too! Since it was so shallow and gradual, it made for great swimming for my 4 young children. We rented the house for a month and had almost everything we needed. This was an excellent spot for our family to enjoy and make memories!

We had such a great time
Our family had such a great time at the lake house. The house is gorgeous with beautiful views and lots of space. Everything was as described. Having a campground next door is a huge bonus. Our kids loved the many playgrounds and activities. Great fishing all over. You can rent a motor boat from the marina and find a great fishing spot or just a nice ride around the lake. Vacations are never long enough, but we all came home rested and happy. We hope to come back next year!

Great family place! Very relaxing.
We stayed here for a week in July and had a great time. The photos represent the property accurately. The cottage is great for families, we have two teens and the bunk beds worked nicely. The king bed was comfortable as well. The lake is good for swimming but you may want to bring water shoes as it is a lake after all and the bottom has leaves and other things to squish into when walking in the water. All of our questions/concerns prior to arrival and during our stay were answered and addressed fairly quickly. The Damariscotta area is nice as well with a few shops in the village. We took a river cruise and had fresh oysters on board. Overall a great property with great owners in a great area. We would stay again.
