About this property

Newly Renovated Waterfront House on Lake Damariscotta; Quiet Winter Retreat!

Privacy abounds at this premier location on Lake Damariscotta.

Not too campy, not too modern, just the right mix of charm with all new finishes! Our light-filled cottage sits directly on the lake for convenient water access and views of breathe taking western exposure sunsets. This is a uniquely private location on the most sought after section of the lake.

With two living areas and and a dining table that seats 8, the house is perfect for a family. All living spaces and bedrooms have been completely renovated with new furnishings, bedding, and decor. Enjoy new mattresses and premium sheets, along with blanket/quilt for summer and down comforters for winter. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to make family dinners. Three bedrooms have sweeping views of the lake, while the fourth has a partial lake view. One and a half newly remodeled bathrooms. The new full bathroom features a tub shower, pebble floors and a large vanity. A gas fireplace was recently installed in the vintage stone surround and makes it perfect for a winter escape.

There are two large decks for lounging and a new swim platform and dock to launch a canoe or kayak. 2 canoes, 2 kayaks, 8 life jackets, and beach towels are available for your use. It's the perfect location for a swim or to cast a line. Additional boating options (Pontoon boat and stand up paddle boards) are available to rent with delivery directly to the house! Access to a local Master Maine fishing guide that will pick you up at the house dock and take you fishing! Enjoy stunning sunsets, listening to the loons, star gazing, or gathering around the smokeless fit pit at the end of the day.

Damariscotta Lake is located at the gateway to Mid-Coast Maine. Explore nearby Boothbay Harbor, Camden, Rockland and many small town gems, all within 30 minutes of the cottage. The towns of Damariscotta and Wiscasset are a 15 minute drive with charming restaurants and large grocery stores. Order ahead online at Hannafords in Damariscotta and pick up your groceries on the way to the house! Damariscotta Lake State Park, Jefferson Market and General Store, and the Jefferson Scoop are a 2 minute drive.

For security purposes, the access road to the property is monitored by a security camera located on the garage facing the upper portion of the driveway.

Why they chose this property

The Watch House at Darmariscotta is a classic Maine camp, updated for your comfort. The property boasts two houses (we only rent one) built in 1912 and 1930. This house sits at water's edge. Go to sleep at night with the sound of the water lapping at the shore. The sunsets are absolutely spectacular with colors lasting for over an hour.
