About this property

Coastal Village Cottage on Damariscotta Lake- Custom Built One of a Kind Cottage

Newly constructed 4 season home built in the 1930's craftsman style, this little beauty allows for all modern conveniences, while affording its guests an authentic Maine lakeside vacation experience. A gently sloping lawn leads to the bank of 17 mile long, crystal clear Damariscotta Lake, yet is a short drive to the rocky shores of the Atlantic Ocean. A 16'x16' waterside deck overlooks the private deep water dock and swimming float-just steps away from the cottage.
Two kayaks and one canoe are included with the rental that can be launched from the small sandy beach on the property. Exploring the islands and coves of this vast lake this way allows for an up close and personal look at the varied wildlife.
Autumn is especially spectacular in the midcoast region. A few minute's drive to Route 1 brings you along the coast with some of the most breathtaking views in New England.

A large stone fireplace and in floor heat makes for a cozy winter retreat at Pine Cone Cottage. Snowmobiling on miles of trails is just outside the door. Ice fishing, cross country skiing and ice skating are just steps from the house!

Lake solitude

Brought my family from Brazil to experience Maine. When I asked how they felt about our lake house, one first timer looked deeply into the fog covering the lake and greenery in the distance and, in the most intense voice said, “I love this place!”

Clean, comfortable,, excellent location

Mr wife and I are retired and spent four nights here in mid-September 2022. This is an exceptionally clean and comfortable home with a well-equipped kitchen. The location on the lake is excellent and the dock is perfect for a 17-foot Whaler. We would definitely rent again.

Beautiful Lakehouse - A Terrific Maine Getaway

You can't beat the water access at this house - beautiful views of the lake from the house, the dock is easily accessible, and it's nice that you have both an easy wade in area to ease your way into the water or take out the kayaks or a deep area to jump right in. Our family spent a very relaxing and peaceful week here! There are a few things that would have made it absolutely perfect. The shower in the basement can't be used and unfortunately the shower outside is pretty visible to the neighbors and doesn't get great warm water. This made it a little bit challenging for six adults to get ready. We also didn't have enough hand/bath towels to go around with the linens option and ended up purchasing some in town at Reny's (great department store and worth checking out if you've never been!). Our time overall was really terrific and we would surely stay again.

Great April Break

Our family of five (kids 16-10-10) enjoyed a few days at Pine Cone Cottage. The space is absolutely gorgeous, comfortable, and what anyone would want in a lakefront home. There was plenty of space - the basement offered key hang out room for the kids while the parents enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs looking out the huge living room windows to the lake. It was a great location, offering reasonable distance for day trips to Rockland / lighthouses, breweries and Lake St. George. The lake was quiet this time of year except for the beautiful sounds of loons. Host Anni Pat was great in communication and support for our trip. If there is anything that opens up for warmer weather, we will be sure to jump on it for another stay at PCC. It was the relaxation and mini getaway our family needed!

Best view on the lake and cozy inside

Perfect place for adults and children to enjoy! For our winter stay enjoyed sledding, ice fishing, the beautiful view and the children very much enjoyed the play area downstairs. Owners are responsive, attentive, and accessible during the stay and we enjoyed meeting them too. We would love to come back in the summer!

Idyllic cottage with modern comforts

We loved our stay over a chilly, snowy holiday -- and hope to stay again during the summer months sometime! The cottage was cozy warm in a snowstorm, thanks to the radiant heating in the floors. We spent most of our time watching the snow fall on the lake out the giant picture windows -- including a morning when we saw 4 bald eagles (4!) Very clean, modern, well-appointed throughout.

Magical Holiday

The location and the cottage itself are beautiful! It is a newer cottage with an older cottage charm. It was the perfect place for our family (a tween, teen, two grandmas, my husband and myself) to spend Thanksgiving weekend! The sleeping arrangements worked well for group- grandmas each got a bedroom, a teen in the fun sleeping cubby (think Harry Potter’s room in coastal Maine), my husband, teen, myself on the twin beds in the lower level. Evenings were spent doing puzzles, and looking at the stars. During the day we watched loons on the lake, walked the property, went into town for lunch and to the charming shops. The day after Thanksgiving we woke to a coating of snow. What a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season. We look forward to going back to Pine Cone cottage for all seasons. Also, the rental process was so easy!

Great location and privacy

Very attractive cottage and outside property. Our plans changed and only 2 to 4 people stayed overnight. We were originally 6, so the space was more than adequate. The only drawback was the mustiness in room on the lake level.

Beautiful cottage & views!

What a tranquil spot! We had a wonderful long weekend at this gorgeous cottage. Definitely has the best spot on the lake with privacy, views from the house & easy water access. The house has everything you need & outdoor space has decks, a dock, firepit & several places to lounge or eat or socialize. Waking up to birds, sunshine & lake views was amazing. Another reviewer mentioned the neighbor's house being close. Important to note it really is not close and is situated behind trees & the driveway - not at all in any of the views or outdoor spaces. I did run into these lovely neighbors once but on a dog walk down the street. Great spot & beautiful interior - highly recommend!

Amazing House and Location

We absolutely adored our little vacation at this property. The location and views were amazing and it was the perfect house and had all of the accommodations needed for the children. They enjoyed the games, books, and toys immensely while the parents could relax and enjoy life on the lake. It is definitely a house we will gladly return to for many more memories!
