Vintage cabin overlooking active lobstering harbor

Stay at Lobster Camp cabins and step back in time. Breathe in the salty air from the deck of your cabin perched on the edge of a true working harbor. Hear the low rumble of boats and watch lobster fishermen unloading their catch. So close to the harbor you feel a part of the action, even from inside. The Halibut, a vintage 1960's 2 bedroom cabin retains its old school charm with minor updates for comfort. 4 cabins in total, this is the 2nd from the water. The view looks like a postcard.

"Ship Shape": waterfront, cozy studio- downtown

Located in a historic 200 year old building "Ship Shape" is close to downtown but on a quiet tree-lined residential street. It is just one block to the library, bookstore, post office and all the lovely shops. It is on the shore of the Damariscotta River with wonderful views from inside and out.. You’ll love my place because of the neighborhood, the light, the outdoor space, and the comfortable bed. My place is good for couples and solo adventurers.

Yellow Cottage on the shore of Little Moxie Cove

MaggieRating, 5 stars9 months ago

Could not have picked a better place for 7 of us to spend the week. The surroundings are beautiful, we stargazed every night and fell asleep to the sound of the water. We swam every single day off the rocks in front of the house. Round pond itself is very cute and damariscotta has everything you need. We cannot wait to be back!

Apartment in Midcoast Maine

EricRating, 5 stars68 months ago

Annette’s place is a great find if you need a place to stay while you explore the Maine countryside. She was great about instructions on finding the house and getting us settled in. Her place was convenient to Damariscotta and the many other wonderful towns in that region of Maine. We will look to stay again if we vacation in the area.

Serenity, Privacy, Clean and Bright

DeborahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This was my second stay at Joy's studio, and I can't wait to return. It's warm and comfortable, and perfect for bird watching. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked and organized - I love to cook here. I stayed here during a cold and rainy spell in New England, so I didn't get out as much as I did last time I stayed. But, if you're going to be stuck inside, this is the place to be - especially with all of the art supplies and books Joy has available. A truly wonderful place to be!

Pemaquid Harbor Couples' Retreat

JosephRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

A beautifully decorated home that preserves its history while adding modern touches for a comfortable long-term stay. We were thrilled to find this gem—it offered a peaceful, quiet retreat not too far from charming towns and plenty of delicious food options. The home is very well stocked, making it easy for us to settle in and feel at home. We especially enjoyed the fireplace, the incredible clawfoot tub, and the fantastically equipped kitchen. We had many peaceful, cozy days here and would stay again in a heartbeat. Ellie was a great host and was very helpful with our requests during the stay. Thanks for having us!

AWESOME MAINE OCEANFRONT HOME, 1st. FLOOR APT.

RolfRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Craig and Fran were wonderful hosts and having them present in the separate upstairs living space made it very comfortable and assuring. Craig was always available if you needed something. Our space was well updated and having the large slider window across the living room made the expansive view of the sea so very special. The place is a great spot for respite and peace, within access to wonderful Quintessential Maine settings. The Kitchen was well supplied with the tools to be completely self contained. A small grocery store is only a mile away if you need a quick run.

Periwinkle Cottage on Pemaquid Harbor

KaelynnRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Stayed here for 3 nights on a mother/daughter trip. Wanted somewhere that was not in touristy area and was quiet. This was perfect! I felt looked even better than the pictures. Plenty of room and everything you needed (except shampoo). Check in was super easy. We were within walking distance of the Fort and the Beach which was nice for morning or sunset. Parking space just for us. Gets stuffy if windows left closed during day but nothing opening the windows didn't fix quickly. Thanks again for great stay! So peaceful.

Rustic Oceanfront Log Cabin

WilliamRating, 5 stars8 months ago

There are no words to describe the stunning view from this cabin. This listing is exactly as described. A rustic cabin. We had family traveling through the area while we were there and they came by to say hello. They remarked that it’s exactly what you’d imagine a “Maine cabin” to be. We came in mid October & as things in the area were winding down. But had a lot of fun strolling through a nearby town that was hosting a pumpkin festival and regatta. We hope to come back and bring our grandchildren (and maybe even their parents ha!) to this rustic cabin in a picturesque setting.
