About this property

The Willows/Damariscotta Lake

Relax & Recharge at this pet-friendly lakeside getaway!

Welcome to your perfect Maine retreat! This charming two-bedroom, dog-friendly home offers everything you need for a peaceful and fun-filled vacation. Set on a private lane, the property features a spacious two-acre front yard - an ideal playground for kids and four-legged companions alike. The quiet lane is perfect for bike rides and outdoor play.

Enjoy hours of outdoor relaxation while taking in serene views of Damariscotta Lake from the large deck, framed by sweeping meadows and graceful willow trees. Just a short five-minute walk down the lane brings you to a shared lakeside dock where you can swim, kayak, canoe, or launch your boat for a day on the water.

Inside, the home features two cozy bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. The open-concept kithen and living room area is bright and inviting, equipped with Roku-enabled TVs, WiFi, heat and air conditioning. Additional baseboard heating keeps the bedrooms comfortable on the cooler nights. A second rutstic bathroom in the garage offers convenient space to rinse off after a day outdoors. A washer and dryer are also located in this area for your convenience. 

Guest will enjot the detached, rustic bunkhouse - equipped with electricity but no plumbing or HVAC- offering great bonus space for games, puzzles, or an afternoon siesta for adults and kids alike. 

Located just five minutes from Damariscotta Lake State Park's public beach and Jefferson Scoops Ice Cream, a short drive to downtown Damariscotta, where you'll find shops, a theater, galleries, restaurants, historic sites, and river tours - this home offers the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and convenience.

The Willows is in a great location near Damariscotta Lake State Park and centrally located to explore mid-coast Maine. The inside was clean and the furniture and beds were nice. The deck was nice and you can see the lake between the trees. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, and all dishes that you will need. The living area is like an apartment above a garage that is not insulated and this means we struggled to cool it down and keep it cool even with ceiling fans. There is an AC unit, but being upstairs and above an uninsulated space it just cannot keep up. We only found one small window fan to use in place of the AC. You have to pick up and drop off the keys to the unit about 20-25 minutes away. This was a first for us, as usually there is a lock box or the owner/caretaker unlocks the unit prior to arrival. We also had to haul our Tuesday -Saturday trash out and to a local dump. There was a trash pickup Tuesday morning. The workers at the dump were pleasant, but we were asked repeatedly where we were from and if we had a sticker allowing us to dump our trash (we did not, but were allowed to leave our trash.) I’ve only ever had to pack out trash when camping and was not aware that this would be our responsibility prior to booking. The host was responsive with one issue that we had. We had a difficult time figuring out the lake access from the apartment. Overall, it was basic, but nicely furnished and gave us a central point for our explorations and adventures.
