About this property

Updated lake cottage right on Damariscotta Lake.

  • Little Thumb sits on the water's edge on Damariscotta Lake under pine and oak trees. Blueberry bushes line the shore. The cottage is surrounded by water on three sides and looks south down the long part of the lake. The cove to the east is a favorite feeding place for heron, osprey, and bald eagles. Dangle your feet off our private dock, and watch ducks paddle by. Let the loons lull you to sleep.

    We offer weekly rentals during the summer. We offer longer and shorter stays in the shoulder seasons. We have wi-fi suitable for working away. This is a seasonal cabin and is not available during the winter months.

    The kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms have been totally remodeled. The kitchen has a gas stove, microwave, refrigerator, and center island. The bathroom has a washer and dryer. The living room has a propane stove and full views of the lake. There are two bedrooms with blankets, pillows, and quilts provided. Sheets and bath towels are standard. Please bring your own swim towels.

    We have a Webber charcoal grill and grill tools. We have a stone fire pit and grate.

    The cabin was originally built on an island but the island is now attached by a causeway. There are only about 10 houses and it feels very private.

    Walk or bike along the dirt roads. Kayak or canoe from the dock. Fish in the cove. Or just relax and enjoy the views.

    Swim right off our dock. We also have an additional swim float which sets a little deeper. The lake water level does vary but gets deeper beyond the cottage.

    We keep two kayaks at the cottage, a 14' Necky Manitou and a 13.5' Perception Catalina, plus two paddles and life vests. You may bring your own kayaks too. Plus you can rent kayaks, canoes, or paddle boards and have them delivered. Please let the life vests drip outside before bringing them inside.

    If you wish to rent additional kayaks or a canoe you can make arrangements with MidCoast Kayak in Damariscotta. They will deliver and pick up right from the cottage.

    There is a sand beach at Damariscotta Lake State Park, 10 minutes from the cottage.

    There is a sand beach and ocean swimming at Pemaquid Beach in New Harbor, about a 1/2 hr from the cottage.

    We have a private well so you do not need to bring bottled water to drink or cook with.

    Sheet sizes: We have one queen-sized bed and two twins beds.

Comfortable, classic lakeside cottage. The camp has been restored with new kitchen counters and most of the windows throughout. Furnishings and beds are comfortable. Supplies were adequate though the owner requests that renters re-supply what they use (reasonable request); so a few things were a little scarce (I.e. hand soap). Lakeside dock is very nice and a swim-up float further out in the lake. Provided kayaks are a nice bonus with the camp in a somewhat protective cove and a marshy area to explore.Departure procedures request that renters strip beds and wash sheets and linens, leaving them in the dryer for the cleaning crew to finish up. Since we had a morning flight out of Boston (3 hour drive min), this can be somewhat challenging to complete. Would be preferable to let the cleaning crew handle the required laundry.

The location of Little Thumb was perfect. Our stay on this pristine lake would have been a 10 but the weather didn’t cooperate for 3 out of the four days of our stay. Thanks to Natalie, our host she let us in early our first day and the only sunny day of our stay. We got to see how beautiful the view and lake really are.

Calm, peaceful setting right on the lake

Two friends found this cabin to be clean and comfortable with very adequate dishware and kitchen utensils and some spices. We vacationed in early October…The peaceful, woodsy setting is what we enjoyed the most. We heard loons, saw a bald eagle and kingfisher among others.

Beautiful spot on the lake

The spot on the lake couldn't be beat. The location is beautiful and the house is clean and cozy. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars because one of the reasons we rented it was to use the kayaks and one has a broken seat, which meant we couldn't go out together.

peaceful & lovely cove

Natalie's property is very cozy, comfortable and the perfect vibe for this location on Damariscotta Lake. decor is cheerful and colorful, and the cottage has all the needed appliances and extras, like oil/spices for cooking. kayaks are available, which is a nice feature, also a dock for those who have watercraft to get around the lake. A perfect vacation spot! Natalie is a wonderful host!

A perfect Maine family getaway

We could not have been more lucky to stay at Little Thumb! The view of the water is just unbeatable. We spent most of our time outside swimming, kayaking, around the bonfire, on the dock, or out in nature somewhere else. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds were very comfortable, perfect for our family of three. Highly recommend the swimming hole near Damariscotta Mills for young children - went went twice! We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return.

Perfect Solo Getaway

My mid-October stay at Little Thumb was everything I hoped for and more: plenty of peace and quiet, an immaculate and comfortable place to stay, and beautiful surroundings in which to birdwatch from the dock, read, and take long walks. I especially enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, comfy queen bed, and big gas heating stove in the living room that kept me toasty, even temps dipped into the 40s. And Natalie certainly deserves her rating as a top host!

Charming and Peaceful!

We had a positively wonderful time this weekend! It was so quiet and peaceful here. We heard loons, a cormorant, beavers hard at work, geese and we watched an eagle fly overhead. The cottage is charming, the kitchen easy to work in and the bed was SO comfortable! We slept so well. Thank you for a wonderful visit, we hope to come again!

The lake was pretty. The renovations were nice except for the back door. Unappealing laundry situation - former guest's clean laundry was in dryer, old stained blood on guest room's pillow. A prior guest left 2 bags (1 white and 1 black) of garbage in the shed. Had to bring garbage to a transfer station 8 minutes away (take garbage with me before checking out).
