Cute little place-perfect for a couple

We have stayed on this property several times- in different cabins and the lodge. This cabin is very clean and well taken care of. The unobstructed view of River is beautiful, especially at sunset. I think this is the cabin we will call “home” now whenever we visit the Edgecomb/Damariscotta area.

Edgecomb river view

We were delighted with Edgecomb cottage. The view across the river to Wiscasset and the bridge was beautiful. Everything you would need is there, kitchen, table,( with stellar view,) sofa, and outdoor seating. We loved it! The best part was our pet was able to share that with us!

Giving Thanks

My daughter and i are starting new traditions and loved our stay! We were at the ocean all day and came to the cabin and heated up homemade turkey pie and enjoyed a feast overlooking the river. The cabin was cozy and perfect for our time. We woke up to a chilly morning perfect for reading our books and drinking tea before heading out. Thank you!

Cabin on the river

Wow! What a view out the front window of the Sheepscot River, downtown Wiscasset and beautiful sunsets! Very serene. Nice neighborhood for walks with puppy dog. The cabin is a good size for two and has just about all the conveniences we needed. Only disapppintment was that we did not have access to the washer and dryer. Great place!

Almost perfect

We enjoyed our stay here. The property, location, view were great. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is the listing advertised a washer/dryer but when we arrived, the instruction book told us we weren't allowed to use it.

We can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was at this cabin! It was right on the water with a beautiful view. The village is gorgeous, the pier is so fun to walk and be out on the water anytime you want. It was centrally located to everything that we wanted to see and everyone we wanted to visit. We will definitely be returning!
Beautiful sunroom overlooking the view!
My favorite morning walk!

Awesome and relaxing stay!

This cottage right by the water was such a lovely relaxing stay. The house was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and the couch was comfortable! It was easy to find the cottage, as it’s in a great location (relative to downtown). My only gripe is that I didn’t stay one day longer! I look forward to returning!

Lovely

The village had very few occupants so we enjoyed the peace and quiet. I have watched this village over 60 years and finally was able to stay a few nights. We were not able to find a hairdryer so some bad hair days were present, otherwise a nice stay.

Perfect spot for some away time

A perfect spot to enjoy some outside time in the Midcoast and shop in Damariscotta, browse the bookstore and have a nice meal at King Eider's. I'm on school break and just wanted to get away for a couple of days not too far from home.

Needed Getaway

It was a nice location right on the water. Great long pier for walks with the dogs. SUPERB location if you are going to see Gardens Aglow in boothbay. The cottage was heated up for us with lights on when we arrived. Definitely dog friendly with dog bowls and bed provided. I cant give 5 stars due to the fact that the water heater was small and my wife had to rush to take her shower. Another issue that arose was the internet and tv were not able to connect to the internet. The information provided to obtain access would not work. Kept popping up under B9 not 99. The box says it was ready, but it would not take the password. Tried several attempts to manually put it in and still could not access tv or internet during our stay. Overall, If the internet and tv worked my wife would have been happier as she needed it for her work. It was a quaint nice cottage on the water with beautiful views. Have had previous stays with you and I would definitely stay again. Thank you for a clean comfy cottage experience on the water.
