2nd stay and still love it!

You can't get closer to the water. There are multiple kayaks to use. The firepit is a decent size (which is readied for use with kindling stacked). The place is kept very clean and is stocked with essentials: coffee maker (brew, as well as keurig), typical kitchen ware, bathrooms have plenty of towels. We haven't used it yet, but there's a stacked laundry wash and dryer. We'll definitely go back!

Must Stay Cozy Getaway!

My 3 girlfriends and I stayed at Luke and Laura’s cozy lake side cabin in late June and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Newcastle area. The location was perfect, just under ten minutes from the main st area, with a ton of options to eat and shop! I highly recommend sunny side for breakfast and the shuck shack for lunch or dinner.

We had an amazing time at the lake!

We are four adult sisters, 60+. The cabin was comfortable, had everything we needed for a good stay. It’s located right on the water and so convenient to all the sightseeing we wanted to do. I would highly recommend as our stay far exceeded our expectations.

Wonderful stay !

Wonderful and peaceful stay. We brought a small boat and were able to put it on the side by hand carrying it . Lots of kayaks and standup paddle boards as well as plenty of floats . Bottom half of house stays cool as it is built in to the hill. able to keep cool with fans . Great time ! Plenty of life jackets . Washer and dryer on the small side but we managed . Could have used maybe a brownie pan :) Pots and pans and kitchen stuff was well equipped. Great stay !

Peaceful and lovely

We loved staying here for our anniversary! Warm sunny days and gentle breezes off the lake most days. Everything is provided that you might need with some fabulous lobster and restaurants close by. Our boat tour to see the Atlantic puffins was such a treat. Laura was very accommodating and helpful. A ten out of ten!

Perfect waterfront getaway

My husband and I adore this place and plan to return. It was clean and had everything we needed (kitchen and bathroom necessities, etc.). The cabin is right on the water (it appears to be a renovated boat house), has a large fire pit, has several kayaks and paddle boards for use, and has a large deck with a grill. Also had a hammock and a porch swing. It's the perfect summer weekend getaway!

Always fun!

This is our second visit to the "Kayakers' Cabin" and just as wonderful! It's so nice to have the option of a few day's stay as opposed to a full week which is hard to do with work. Thank you for sharing your sweet spot on my favorite Maine lake!

Beautiful View of the Lake

The cottage was perfectly positioned for the amazing lake front view. Inside the cottage was cozy and had everything we needed to cook our meals. Having two bathrooms made everyone more comfortable. The host was very accomodating and responsive. We hope to come back in the summer to swim in the lake and sit around the firepit on the shoreline. Thank you for sharing this special place.

Great property with an amazing view!

Perfect location and size for a couple/small family getaway by the lake. The seating area outside by the fire pit was relaxing - we loved the lake view and its wildlife. We even enjoyed lunches at the table on the deck! We visited during the fall, but a spring and/or summer visit would be amazing too! The amenities inside of the home included everything you would need for your stay. I wanted to give this location the full 5 stars, but the indoor couch/chair and primary bed could use some sprucing up, in my opinion. But overall, I would recommend this home! Wonderful location and great property management.

Perfection. Just perfection.

I stayed with my boyfriend for two nights. I am already planning a return trip with my twelve year old daughter and another trip with my girlfriends. Just a short drive to town, property with plenty of beds, outdoor chairs, and kayaks/paddleboards makes this a fantastic retreat for couples, families, or friends. I didn’t want to leave, I was so relaxed.

Great place to chill out by the water

We very much enjoyed our stay in early October - we loved that the house was right on the water. It was cozy and comfortable - a perfect getaway spot for two - or more if you had kids in tow. We’ll definitely think about coming back sometime in the summer to enjoy swimming next time…

Cabin Done Right

We were in the area for a couple of nights to coincide with a birthday dinner reservation and this place was great, on the lake and in the woods, with lots of towels, a tv and even foosball downstairs. Great spaces inside and out, and close encounters with Osprey, a Barred Owl and Loon! Highly recommend.

Quiet restorative stay

We loved staying at this little cabin by the water and felt at home almost immediately. We’ve been coming to the Damariscotta and Pemaquid area for 15 years but never really got to know the lake. Absolutely delightful and we visited all out favorite places- truly a gem on the water. Swimming and kayaking included!!!
