Awesome and relaxing stay!

This cottage right by the water was such a lovely relaxing stay. The house was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and the couch was comfortable! It was easy to find the cottage, as it’s in a great location (relative to downtown). My only gripe is that I didn’t stay one day longer! I look forward to returning!

Cabin on the river

Wow! What a view out the front window of the Sheepscot River, downtown Wiscasset and beautiful sunsets! Very serene. Nice neighborhood for walks with puppy dog. The cabin is a good size for two and has just about all the conveniences we needed. Only disapppintment was that we did not have access to the washer and dryer. Great place!

Edgecomb river view

We were delighted with Edgecomb cottage. The view across the river to Wiscasset and the bridge was beautiful. Everything you would need is there, kitchen, table,( with stellar view,) sofa, and outdoor seating. We loved it! The best part was our pet was able to share that with us!

Perfect spot for some away time

A perfect spot to enjoy some outside time in the Midcoast and shop in Damariscotta, browse the bookstore and have a nice meal at King Eider's. I'm on school break and just wanted to get away for a couple of days not too far from home.

Cute little place-perfect for a couple

We have stayed on this property several times- in different cabins and the lodge. This cabin is very clean and well taken care of. The unobstructed view of River is beautiful, especially at sunset. I think this is the cabin we will call “home” now whenever we visit the Edgecomb/Damariscotta area.

Lovely

The village had very few occupants so we enjoyed the peace and quiet. I have watched this village over 60 years and finally was able to stay a few nights. We were not able to find a hairdryer so some bad hair days were present, otherwise a nice stay.

Giving Thanks

My daughter and i are starting new traditions and loved our stay! We were at the ocean all day and came to the cabin and heated up homemade turkey pie and enjoyed a feast overlooking the river. The cabin was cozy and perfect for our time. We woke up to a chilly morning perfect for reading our books and drinking tea before heading out. Thank you!

Nice early season getaway

This cottage is well appointed & relaxing. It was nice to be able to walk to have dinner at The Water's Edge. I'm used to sleeping in a dark room so found the need to block the light coming from the various electronic devices & turn off the LED on the heat pump. I would recommend getting rid of the alarm clock in the bedroom since most people have alarms on their phones should they feel the need to set one. This will avoid waking a guest in the middle of the night, as happened to me the first night. After this occurred, I simply unplugged the clock since there were multiple settings & it was difficult to know if it might go off again. All in all though, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Amazing Little Get-Away!

This place was everything it was listed to be! The cottage couldn't be any closer to the water and the views were gorgeous! Especially the view of the little town of Wiscasset across the river. We went in the off season and it was so quiet amd peaceful. The cabin has everything you need including a washer and dryer. The furniture and bed was comfortable. Unloading was easy as you can park right at the steps going inside. We arrived a day early and the owner made it extremely easy to add another day. We received a code for the door before arrival so there really was no check-in process! We will definitely be booking again in the future. We didn't take pets, but they even had a beautiful dog bed and bowls on the sun porch. The heat worked very well and we had access to adjust it as needed. Perfect place for a romantic get away! It is not a big place, but we had plenty of room for the two of us. The bathroom and bedroom were fairly large and the water pressure in the shower was good too. You won't be disappointed!
