Updated lake cottage right on Damariscotta Lake.
Little Thumb sits on the water's edge on Damariscotta Lake under pine and oak trees. Blueberry bushes line the shore. The cottage is surrounded by water on three sides and looks south down the long part of the lake. The cove to the east is a favorite feeding place for heron, osprey, and bald eagles. Dangle your feet off our private dock, and watch ducks paddle by. Let the loons lull you to sleep.
We offer weekly rentals during the summer. We offer longer and shorter stays in the shoulder seasons. We have wi-fi suitable for working away. This is a seasonal cabin and is not available during the winter months.
The kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms have been totally remodeled. The kitchen has a gas stove, microwave, refrigerator, and center island. The bathroom has a washer and dryer. The living room has a propane stove and full views of the lake. There are two bedrooms with blankets, pillows, and quilts provided. Sheets and bath towels are standard. Please bring your own swim towels.
We have a Webber charcoal grill and grill tools. We have a stone fire pit and grate.
The cabin was originally built on an island but the island is now attached by a causeway. There are only about 10 houses and it feels very private.
Walk or bike along the dirt roads. Kayak or canoe from the dock. Fish in the cove. Or just relax and enjoy the views.
Swim right off our dock. We also have an additional swim float which sets a little deeper. The lake water level does vary but gets deeper beyond the cottage.
We keep two kayaks at the cottage, a 14' Necky Manitou and a 13.5' Perception Catalina, plus two paddles and life vests. You may bring your own kayaks too. Plus you can rent kayaks, canoes, or paddle boards and have them delivered. Please let the life vests drip outside before bringing them inside.
If you wish to rent additional kayaks or a canoe you can make arrangements with MidCoast Kayak in Damariscotta. They will deliver and pick up right from the cottage.
There is a sand beach at Damariscotta Lake State Park, 10 minutes from the cottage.
There is a sand beach and ocean swimming at Pemaquid Beach in New Harbor, about a 1/2 hr from the cottage.
We have a private well so you do not need to bring bottled water to drink or cook with.
Sheet sizes: We have one queen-sized bed and two twins beds.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
