What a wonderful, warm, and welcoming stay we had! Lovely siting, delicious food, laid-back beauty, friendly hosts: just what we were looking for in a family vacation hub.

I can't say enough good things about the spot and our hosts! We felt so welcomed and loved the cabin! Breakfast each morning was an absolute treat, and buying some delicious goat/sheep cheese is a MUST -- sooo yummy! The beds in the cabin were very comfy with cozy down blankets. Loved the view of the fields and woods from the windows. I would recommend packing light just because you don't park right beside the cabin - which is great because it's so private!

We stayed at the cabin in the spring while visiting Whitefield for a wedding. We loved our visit. Patti was an excellent and easygoing host, she cooked us two amazing breakfasts, everything was homemade. The farm is really beautiful, lots of opportunities for walks and exploring. The cabin is private, set back in the property from the house, it is airy with lots of light and windows. We especially loved holding all the baby goats and sheep, so special!

We had a wonderful time with Patti and Chris! The cabin was cute, clean and comfortable. The cabin is exactly as it is described and pictured. Patti and Chris were excellent with making sure we had everything we needed. Patti prepared us the most amazing breakfast each morning. Sweet one morning and savory the next! YUM! Plus, most of the food comes from their garden. We highly recommend the zucchini pancakes topped with homemade black trumpet (mushroom) goat cheese. We didn't really have a set plan on what we would do when we arrived. After talking with Chris and going over local maps, he was able to point us in the right direction for our daily adventures. Chris knows the best hiking, swimming holes, and places to grab a bite to eat. His advice on where to go made our trip unforgettable. To sum everything up, it was like we were staying with longtime friends. We would highly recommend anyone who loves the country to stay in this lovely cabin.

My husband and I and our two young kids (4 and 2) had a fantastic time staying on Patti and Chris' farm! They were wonderful hosts, helping us learn more about farm life, and even teaching us how to milk the goats. Breakfast was a highlight for all of us - Patti's organic home cooking (with much of the food right from the farm) was delicious, and we were treated like guests, more than customers. The cabin was tucked away privately at the edge of the woods and we loved waking up to fireflies in the fields at night, and sheep/goats in the day. Just as Patti advertised, the cabin is very basic, with no running water or electricity, but it was comfy and clean, and was just what we had wanted. Patti and Chris went out of their way to make sure that we had everything that we needed. We are already planning next year's visit, and my 4 year old has not stopped talking about the experience since we left! Oh, and if you go, don't forget your mosquito repellent (like we did!).

We enjoyed our time but as Patti and Chris were preparing for a fair, they weren't around very much and were pretty busy when they were. That being said they were very nice. The space was cool and all the animals were cool. The one thing I will mention is that if you are booking for 4, know that the couch isn't a typical pull out, it becomes more like a thin camp-like mattress on the floor.

On the way to Acadia, we spent only one night in Patti's and Chris’ adventurous cabin. But most impressive were the challenges we had to master before: 1) Chris recommended a walk through the forest to a creek and narrow lake. Without our GPS app, we probably would not have found back. 2) Patti let us milk goats and sheep and we tried our best to contribute to breakfast the next morning. Patti and Chris had valuable tipps for our drive to and stay in Acadia. We enjoyed our time at the farm and can highly recommend it. Marie and Peter

Patti was super friendly, stayed up late until our arrival. She made a killer French toast and it was definitely fun to see the sheep in the morning and shooting star st night!!

Grace's small apartment was perfect for our one night stay in Damariscotta. It had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. Her place allows for easy access to all the local businesses and she is very friendly and thoughtful.

Great little apt with a view of the water.

This is a good value and Grace is wonderful. It is nice to walk into town to eat. Her restaurant is very handy with food that's good for you. That said it is very small!

A small cozy apartment that really gives a feel for the area! It was a great place to relax and use as a central location for traveling the area

A sung little gem: fine for a couple, with lots of light plus a wonderful view of the river, very close to the center of town while still away from the traffic on the main road. Although a new addition, its design and materials are very traditional and fit well with the early 19th-century main building. Grace was a pleasure to meet and talk to, and she was generous with her time. As long as you don't need to spread out in a large space, I can't imagine a better place to spend a few days in Damariscotta.

Ship Shape is a cozy, well located studio. Comfortable mattress and nice view of the river. You can walk to shops and restaurants in minutes. Grace's Haddock chowder is the best! Would definitely return.

Grace greeted us when we arrived. She made us feel at home and gave suggestions about the area. The accomodations were just as described in in the listing and had lovely view of the river. The location was on a quite street one block from the main street of downtown.

Perdect location, very private setting. Cozy like a cruise ship cabin.

We had an incredible July 4th weekend stay here! The house was just right for the 9 of us, and was clean, bright and beautiful with tea, coffee and ice cream!! ready for us. Our stay also included beer vouchers which we very happily used - the beers were absolutely delicious. Our hosts were very friendly and gave us an impromptu tour of the brewery, and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you so much!

I loved the farmhouse! Great space with plenty of space to roam around. The big porch wonderful to hang out on and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook Sunday brunch. Visiting the brewery mere steps away was a treat and we loved the beers we sampled. I know we'll be going back!

The farmhouse is beautiful. Bright and cheerful. Plenty of room for the eight of us and we had everything we needed in the kitchen plus more than expected re all looking forward to going back!

We had a great time. The house was super clean and had all we needed to cook meals over the weekend. The beds were comfy and it was fun watching the kids learn to use a VCR. We loved the grounds, birds, bees, pigs and pond. Being so close to the tasting room has its perks as well!

My friends and I had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the Oxbow property. Everything was well equipped, and the grounds were great for both fun and relaxation. I would wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone.

A beautiful and comfortable farmhouse in the woods. We very much enjoyed our stay. We used this place to get away and check out. Highly recommended.

We were welcomed with smiles and were very pleased with the farmhouse. A very unique accommodation with a lot of charm and character. We truly enjoyed the stay.

Very cool spot! The farmhouse was even bigger than expected! And cant beat having a brewery of that caliber just steps away! We had a wonderful time - very relaxing and the kids loved the chickens!

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Really enjoyed our stay. There's not much going on around the neighborhood so if you're looking for a quiet retreat, you've come to the right place! The house is set back from the road and felt very private. But You can get some essentials and decent restaurants within a 10 minute drive and if you're willing to do a 25-30 min drive there's some really great little towns to check out. The house was very comfortable and Pamela had some nice touches like providing a fresh bag of coffee. Highly recommended!

Great stay!

We spent a week at this quiet, comfortable home. The large, private yard was perfect for our dog and young son to run and play in. While exploring, we found apple trees and raspberries. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch in the evening while we grilled dinner. We loved watching the boats cruise by on the lake. We were within a half hour drive to the coast and all of the harbor town attractions and shopping. The local towns of Damariscotta and Wiscasset are full of delicious seafood, antiques, breweries, ice cream and plenty of recreational areas for our family.

Great house in the middle of the most perfect part of the Maine coast! Thanks for great communication!

Actually this house is very good and valuable. The host is nice and we have a good time!

Judy was great: warm, welcoming and helpful, but not intrusive and respectful of our privacy. Lovely rolling hills and a great local swimming pond. We had fabulous weather, but in case of some Maine wet days, the barn has plenty of games, books, and fun things to do. The barn as a huge semi outdoor space which is nicely sheltered from sun and rain, but provides another space to eat, relax and play. All in all we loved it!

A nice stay!

This Airbnb is interesting in the way it was put together. The view of the lake is charming and the beds are extremely comfortable.

James seemed to be a nice host and the house was great! We especially loved swimming in the lake right in front of the house. We would like to visit again if we can!

Jim was a good host who put a lot of effort into this rental. We had an unfortunate situation which was almost harmful. Please confirm with Jim that he has improved the safety of the ceiling before staying. Also, while the two beds were nice, the futon is a rough night's sleep. The pictures were accurate and it is a private place near a lake. It was convenient to explore the Boothbay/Damriscotta region.

James was super accommodative. He actively communicated with us before our trip to provide all the info we need. A simplistic house, very clean and cozy. The beds are comfortable. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our time at the loon lodge very much. It was a peaceful location (although the neighbors were quite loud during our stay). The setting and view was delightful! The lodge itself was very cosy. The bed was a bit too small for us, but for now and then it suits fine. The Internet didn't work anymore after day one, and we didn't have any reception so communication with Bowen was not possible through no fault of her, but that made things a bit difficult but also nice and quiet:) Bowen was a very friendly host, although we didn't get a chance to meet. She tried to be available although in a different time zone and I know that's not easy! Thanks again!

Loon Lodge was a wonderful vacation spot - we could feel the stress melt away as soon as we arrived. The lodge was just as described on the site. The owners were very responsive to us and made sure that we had everything we needed. The lodge was very comfortable for a family of 4. We could not have asked for anything more. We loved our time there. We spent most days on the lake swimming, fishing and kayaking. Watched the sun rise over the lake in the mornings from the back desk. Enjoyed the outdoor fire at night before the mosquito got too bad. Lots of sights not too far if you're up for the drive included Burnt Island, Boothbay, Cabbage Island, Pemaquid Light House and Damariscotta. Some local stops included Sheepscott General in Whitefield - great for meals and local goods and Upper Crust Bakery in Jefferson - great for pizza and desserts. Hoping to return again next year.

If you are looking to unwind on an absolutely beautiful lake this is your place! We loved sitting on the dock watching the loons and sun bathing. There is a grill for cooking and a fire pit with wood provided. The water is warm and perfect for swimming. Do keep in mind this is a cabin. If you aren't willing to disconnect and enjoy nature this may not be your first choice. There is Internet that we had some issues staying connected to and a DVD player that we also couldn't manage to keep a connection with the TV. There isn't at this time any TV service, although Bowen did say he was looking into that for the future. We had a problem with our drain in the shower when we arrived but Bowen was very quick to respond and it was fixed before we got back from getting groceries! Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to unwind on the water.

The favorite place on our trip, secluded, quiet, peaceful. Fully stocked kitchen to cook in, cozy bedroom, beautiful living room and the PORCH, where I spent most of my time...the dock was lovely too, my husband threw a line out a couple times for fun. We enjoyed the place so much we decided to cut our time in Boothbay Harbor short, just to spend time on the lake. we heard loons for the first (URL HIDDEN) was magical. thank you for a wonderful stay!

Bowen was very quick to respond to my messages. Check-in was smooth. The location is very remote and beautiful. Hotspot didn't work for us but that wasn't much of an issue since we spent most of our time out and about. Make sure to get groceries/supplies prior to arrival since the closest market is about 30 minutes away.

Great place, very peaceful, helpful host.......I'll be back, Thanks

Wow! Really needed that peace and tranquility and Bowen's lodge really offered just that! The dock was perfect to laze at and the we had all the amenities we needed to be comfy. Was a great location on the lake as well with just enough privacy without being too secluded. Bowen was super helpful in recommending spots nearby to catch a bite and drink and was very prompt with any questions we had. We broke the key (ummm) and he was still super nice about it! Managed to golf too ;) Perfect 2 days!

Loon Lodge is practically perfect. It's the summer cottage your parents took you to as a kid. We never did use the wifi or the TV, the lake itself was entertainment enough. They even have jigsaw puzzles to do on the kitchen table at night! We swam, hung out on the deck until the bugs drove us inside, read, ate, and slept. Fabulous breezes. We were there the hottest days of the summer or else we would have used the fire circle. Very hard to find the first time. Take the road that says "Dead End", and keep going.

My husband and I decided to try out Airbnb for the first time for our honeymoon, and we had a wonderful stay at Peter and Lucy's home. The room is clean and very comfortable, it is actually a bit larger than it appears in the photo, and decorated with paintings and artwork. There are extra sheets and blankets as well as towels available. There is also a fan available for when the weather is warm. The breakfast was delicious (especially the coffee), and Peter was very friendly, he has a wealth of information about things to do in the area. The town of Damariscotta (pronounced (URL HIDDEN) least I think that's it) will provide you with any kind of Maine seafood you can imagine, and Peter will provide you with a comprehensive list of restaurants in the area. If you're looking for a comfortable room in mid-coast Maine that is a little more out of the way than Booth Bay, but isn't completely lost in the forest, I would highly recommend.

This was my first experience with airbnb so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was very fortunate, Peter and Lucy were wonderful hosts. The room was spacious and had ample drawer space for my things. The bathroom was fine and they provided everything I would need (shampoo/conditioner, soap, etc). I was a long term guest, 3 weeks, which was the longest they had had to date. They were kind enough to invite me to dine with them occasionally and, in general, include me in some of their personal time. Equally, they were polite enough to allow me my private time and space. I couldn't recommend staying at their place more highly. Their home is absolutely adorable with a delightful garden. It's near town and the shops. They gave me free range to use their kitchen, and in general, it felt more like staying with old friends than anything else. I hope to return one day.

Peter contacted us ahead of time to let us know we could show up whenever we wanted, and was there when we came to show us around and let us know where things were. The room was perfect, as was the location. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

Peter and Lucy are natural hosts. We felt like we were staying with old friends. He was very helpful when I asked about possible places to go for a meal to celebrate my husband's birthday, and they went out of their way to make it a special day. They have a lovely home and a lot of attention has gone into making it a super place for guests to stay.

Peter and Lucy were extremely friendly and welcoming! They made us feel at home at once, their place is beautiful and warm and the bedroom super comfortable (such a good bed!) and light. It was the perfect stop (although very short) during an exhausting trip. They welcomed us with tea and good humour, Peter had printed out a list of their favorite restaurants in the area (very useful) and we had breakfast together in the sun in their lovely garden before heading out. Perfect hosts, really. I would stay at their place again in a heartbeat.

The hosts, Peter and Lucy were fantastically welcoming. If you'd like a friend in Daramiscotta, stay with Peter and Lucy.

Peter was a great host he made us feel very welcome in his home. The space was very clean, comfortable and cozy. Peter also provided great recommendations for dining in the area. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the area.

I would highly recommend staying here for a Maine experience. Peter and Lucy were very welcoming and helpful with navigating the local attractions. Damariscotta is quaint and beautiful with lots of great seafood and fun things to do on the river. It is easy to explore a number of other towns from here.

Natasha's entire property was wonderful! The trailer was adorable and well furnished. Natasha was very kind and even more hospitable, giving us fresh salad from her garden and giving us a tour of the property. A dip in the river is a must! Several rural gems nearby including sheepscot general store was is another must. I highly recommend staying with Natasha.

Natasha was friendly and accommodating--and honestly what more could you want from a host?! Check in was as simple as showing up: the trailer was waiting for us, clean and all, with some fresh lettuce in the fridge from Natasha's garden and some fresh flowers too. Natasha had reached out to me previously about the different opportunities and sites in town including the river, the egg box and the lovely general store at the end of the road. She was more than happy to let us borrow some bikes, or her canoe, and to explore her property--if only we had been able to take more advantage of her generosity--we were unfortunately fairly booked with activities working around my boyfriend's schedule. Even so, the trailer is the coziest. We couldn't help but feel perfectly at home from the moment we walked in. The interior makes you feel like you have grown with the trailer--the little toy cars along the kitchen backsplash, the quirky paintings lining the walls, the plastic flower held up in a single cowboy boot hung just right of the entrance to the trailer--a history we felt perfectly comfortable adopting for the length of our stay. Natasha's care in maintaining her trailer with ever an eye for authenticity was a joy. We took more pictures of the trailer than any of the lovely scenery around us. I highly recommend the walk to the general store (30 minutes or so)--it is well worth it. The farms are gorgeous. We had to leave early a missed Natasha who had been on our way to bring us coffee--we will hopefully make our way back to pick up where we left off.

Natasha made us feel very welcome. She was sweet and very accommodating.

We couldn't dream of a better place to stay! The trailer was so beautiful, decorated with an amazing taste (sense of poetic details), and very comfortable. It's very well situated, at a walking distance from woods and river and not far from a great community cafe and shop. Natasha was a wonderful host, brilliant and funny and very welcoming. It was a pleasure to discuss with her not only about things immediately related to our stay but also about art and life in general. We are grateful we could meet her and we'll be back for sure!

Natasha was warm, welcoming, and had the best suggestions for what to see and do near by. We had the best time staying in the trailer! We cooked, star gazed, picked some fresh vegetables, swam in the river, and wished we could have stayed longer or possibly moved in.

Natasha's place in Whitefield was absolutely lovely, and Natasha is a great host. Natasha was nothing but welcoming to me and my pup, Pickle. She had great advice - starting with great scenic directions to her home. She also passed along great tips on where to eat in the area (the local CSA/general store is wonderful). The trailer is I celebrated my birthday while I was there and she was so thoughtful to gift me some gorgeous fresh flowers, a freshly grown zucchini and some delicious jam! The property itself is very unique. Plan and pack like you're camping and you'll be in good shape. The trailer is situated in a beautiful little clearing of trees - it's very private and perfect for "going off the grid". The trailer itself is very cozy and has the luxury of running water and electricity. The river and the short hike back to visit it are great as well.

I was already crazy excited to stay at this hip & relaxing Airbnb, but once I arrived, it took my breath away. Perfect place for a weekend away from technology, with a good book, trails to walk in the woods & the best form of peace & quiet. Besides the trailer, Natasha just finishes out the whole package. She's warm, kind, invited me into her home to look around, offered me apples & produce from her garden and had me try her homemade apple crisp before leaving! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. :) We'll be back as soon as we can!

Natasha is a great host. She went out of her way to make sure I had everything needed. The trailer is a cozy comfortable place to stay and I am looking forward to staying there again.

What an AMAZING weekend!!! The weather was perfect and only rivaled by our accommodations on the MAZU. Chip and Olga were great, they had everything setup just perfectly for our weekend stay and made us feel completely at home. My wife was surprised by our weekend getaway to say the least. Everyone was amazed at what an awesome idea it was to stay on a boat for the weekend!!! We will definitely be back to spend more time on the MAZU. Thanks again for making our weekend UNFORGETTABLE!! Rob & Steph

she was very nice. the whole experience was what I expected and worth it.

Olga and Chip are warm and friendly and are very responsive to your questions and/or additional needs while staying on the Mazu. For instance, Olga was on board five minutes looking for an extra propane tank for the Aft Deck grill. She found the extra tank and we were cooking in 30 minutes. Both Olga and Chip are very knowledgeable about DownEast Maine and the River. It was a pleasant-get rid of the communication gadgets-reconnect-fun filled unique experience for couples and families.

Olga!!! I have always wanted to visit Maine and just as I hoped..... My visit was Awesome! The boat was more than I would have ever expected. ...Beautiful! !! And then of course you have the water, trees, fresh air, and Lobster! We truly enjoyed every second of our visit to Maine! Thank you so much again. .... Olga & Chip! :)

We absolutely loved our time on Mazu. We were attending a wedding nearby and I was looking for something a little different than a hotel or inn. From the moment we stepped on board there was an instant feeling of welcome. The boat is tastefully decorated and offered plenty of storage space and privacy. Our host provided delicious fruits and accompaniments. And Saturday night, after returning from our family event, we were serenaded by amazing blues at Schooner Landing. -K

Olga is a great host !

Absolutely incredible. Never stayed on boat and it was wonderful. Really a very unique and special experience. Private yet in the middle of everything. Walking distance from anything you would ever need. Very clean and well kept and owners were great. Special watching sun ups and sunsets on the boat deck. Could kayak right off the boat. Would highly recommend

What a fantastic time we had aboard the lovely MAZU! Olga and Chip were great hosts, made us feel super welcome, and provided us with everything we needed -- and then some. The Damariscotta River is awesome, the people are friendly and warm, and we had lots of fun with the kayaks and canoe. The only problem was that we didn't have much time, 2 days wasn't nearly enough. We will be back again soon, and hope that we can stay on the MAZU again.
