"The cottage was wonderful and David was very welcoming. Everything we needed with great views and close to town. There is something special about watching a gorgeous sunrise from bed. The gas fireplace made the livingroom cozy in the chilly fall weather."

"This was a return visit. A great stay as always. The hosts are lovely. The property is well located close to town and recreation. We have, as on past visits been so comfortable here. The beds are super comfortable. Well stocked with all the amenities you need and even some welcome goodies. We'll stay here again when we're in the area."

"Peaceful and absolutely perfect!"

"Another lovely stay at Maine Bed & Boat in Damariscotta. Highly recommended!"

"The captain’s house is on a beautiful street full of stately old homes and just a 10 minute walk across the bridge to Damariscotta. The house is roomy and comfortable and has a gorgeous front porch where you can sit and watch the people passing by and look out over the river. We love it there. This is our fourth stay."

"All in all a pleasant place to stay; a bit noisy at night from the bands at the wharf and from early am truck traffic but private and close to shops & restaurants. The "easy chairs" are not so easy to get out of and too soft for back support for people who read a lot of books, but that's a minor quibble. We'd happily stay there next September if we can."

"Clean, easy check in, amazing locals"

"House was extremely clean, comfortable and just the right size for our family. The hosts were responsive and friendly and thought of everything we could possibly need and more. It was a good location to visit town and beyond as well as our friends on Biscay Pond."

"Tucked away in the charming village of Damariscotta, Maine, "Nature's Nook" was the perfect home base for our adventure. Nestled in a quiet, wooded neighborhood on the north side of town near Highway 1, this lovely home put us in the heart of everything we love about Maine. Our family of six were comfortable all week. The kids enjoyed the paved drive and played pickleball and wiffleball in the yard. From here, we explored Acadia, Bar Harbor, Camden, Maiden’s Cliff, Freedom (and the unforgettable Lost Kitchen), Augusta, Pemaquid Point, Popham Beach, Freeport Outlets, Harpswell, and Boothbay Harbor. In just ten days, we packed in so many incredible experiences.A huge thanks to Vrbo and the homeowners for sharing their space—it truly felt like home. We indulged in "lobstah" five times and oysters three times, and loved every minute in the Damariscotta area. Maine never disappoints!"
