Lakefront Midcoast Maine retreat-Damariscotta Lake

Welcome to our family camp! Although our camp (Mainespeak for cottage) has been on the shore of Damariscotta Lake for over 50 years, it was completely rebuilt in 2018. It was carefully designed as a modern family retreat-professionally decorated and stocked with quality linens and kitchen supplies.
Relax at camp with plenty of sleeping space for everyone-2 king masters with attached baths and 2 bunk rooms for the kids.
The boathouse has everything you need to enjoy the lake-adult and child kayaks, stand up paddle boards, canoe, life vests, and beach towels. You can keep your powerboat at our dock. There are many local options for boat rental.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the screened porch listening to loons just steps away on the lake. Paddle the coves of the lake, fish off the dock, dig for clams along the shore, and roast marshmallows under the Maine sky.
Explore local harbors, visit lighthouses, enjoy a lobster roll at a nearby pier, rummage for antiques at the village shops, and hike the rugged Maine coast trails. Our camp is your home base for family adventures in Midcoast Maine.

Wonderful stay!
We loved the home and the location! Perfect for rowing in the off season. Loved the loons calling from all areas of the lake, the dock for watching the sunset and soaking up the early fall sun, and the comfort of the house. We will be back!

Beautiful house on a beautiful lake
We had an amazing week at this house. We love Damariscotta Lake and have rented on this lake for the last five years but this was one of our favorite places we’ve stayed. Going through the campground to get to the house is a little strange at first but once you’re on the property it’s perfect. We rented a boat and had a fun time tubing. Everything you need at the house to sleep 2 families with kids plus a bonus sleeping nook which we used for our friends who ended up staying one night. Loved the big tables for meals or games. Would stay here again!

Doesn't get better than this!
This property is beautiful! Went beyond my expectations. I texted the property person about a noise the water was making and my text was responded to immediately. Great for kids as it has 6 bunk beds. We had only adults but everyone wanted to meet at our place. Highly recommend this!!

Best rental we have ever stayed at!
This property is exactly as depicted in the photos. Beautifully decorated and has a wonderful view of the lake. We especially appreciated the supplies provided - starter TP, laundry detergent, kitchen towels, spices, cleaners, beach towels. Lots of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, etc. It made it very easy to prepare meals. The house comes with two kayaks and three paddle boards with life vests. We rented a double kayak and one more single from Mid Coast Kayak Rental. The lake was a little choppy due to wind during our stay but we were able to get out on it several times. FYI, there are two Hannaford grocery stores nearby - a smaller one in Waldeboro which is closer (15 minutes) and a larger one in Damariscotta (20 minutes). If you need more firewood, the Damariscotte store is the only one that sells it. We took a little day trip to Camden and Camden Hills State Park - a charming town! We were all very very happy with our stay at Spear Camp!

Great Stay on Damariscotta Lake
The area is wonderful, the lake-front location of the property is spectacular. The house is real gem, one of the newest, well appointed, brightest and cleanest places we have ever rented. The amenities provided by the owners, grill, kayaks, dock, to name a few were, covered all our needs very well. The modern, well equipped dock was especially appreciated. Topping it all off, the owners were a pleasure to work with.

Best Lake Anywhere
While we have been coming to Damariscotta Lake for over 20 years, this was our first visit to the Spears Camp. Now I know where we will come back every year. This home is stunning and met our needs better than any lake home we have stayed in. The beds are very comfortable and the bed linens and towels were perfect. The house is roomy and so comfortable. The kitchen is perfectly stocked and has everything you will ever need. The waterfront and dock were perfect for our boat, for fishing and for swimming. We loved hanging out by the waterfront and the sunsets were magnificent. If this house wasn't already perfect enough, add central A/C and you've got a bit of heaven. This lakefront home is the place we have been searching for for over 20 years. Now we've found it and won't look anywhere else!! Thanks, Leigh, for a wonderful, wonderful week and letting us use your beautiful homes. Tim and Bonnie Dinsmore P.S. The colors in this home are incredible. Love your taste!!

We would go back
We loved our stay. The beds are very comfortable. Showers are great. Great for a family. Sadly we were not lucky with the weather so we couldn't take advantage of the lake. Then the internet did not work so well, as a result we could not watch television. This may be a problem with the area, and the lack of broadband.

September in Maine is the best
Spear Camp is the best lakeside vacation house we've stayed at: spacious, well-lit and airy, well-equipped, in a gorgeous setting. The home is beautifully laid out for extended family to both have some privacy and to gather together. The dock and mooring made use of our small sailboat easy, and the water toys were a great bonus. Damariscotta Lake is terrific for both paddling and sailing, and is quiet after Labor Day - with loon and bald eagle sightings!
