A poem from a guest

It's Saturday and to our dismay
We must take leave from Cottage Biscay
It's been a week of non-stop fun,
Biking, boating and lying in the sun!
Our hosts Karl & Mary were simply great
And our kids enjoyed staying up late!
We'll miss the lonely cry of the loon
And the warm pond that beckoned -
morning night and noon!
Even as we load up the car,
We watch the animals, Sandy and Star.
As we close up the cottage and shut the door
We can't wait to come back in 2004!

Fantastic Maine camp in perfect mid-coast location

This camp is well stocked and comfortable with a large yard extending through the trees down to a nice waterfront on Biscay pond. Part of the expansive yard is open with a nice fire pit while another part is shaded with large trees down to the lakeside. The camp itself is very cozy with a nice open kitchen, a front deck great for enjoying the lake view and a nice enclosed side porch with comfortable furnishings. The large master bedroom is stunning with an open beamed cathedral ceiling and a large bank of windows overlooking the lake. The smaller bedroom is cozy and comfortable. The camp sits back from the lake but the lakeside has chairs for sitting and a small dock and float. We were there in the cooler fall so we did not swim, but the lake looks clear and inviting. We love the mid-coast area of Maine and this location is perfect. Near-by Damariscotta has several very good restaurants and shops to explore. It is close to our favorite lobster wharf in Round Pond and an easy drive to other classic Maine coastal locations (i.e. Pemaquid, Boothbay Harbor, etc.) . We return to Maine every year, either summer or fall, and would return here again when we don’t have a larger extended family group with us. And yes, the sunsets across the lake are stunning.

Overlooking quiet, peaceful Biscay Pond with a western view.

Sounds of loons and nighttime owls, even indoors as well as over dinner on the deck. We rented kayaks which we could put in right there and paddle either direction on the beautiful pond, away from tourist sounds. This peninsula, the Pemaquid, is an ideal location, just 1-1/4 hrs from the Portland Airport, and a world apart, in lovely lobster-coves Maine. Mary Berger, your hostess is The Best, and you ‘ll love everything about her and this rental house.

Great lakefront getaway

Very nice 4 night stay. Definitely has the feel of grandma's old bakehouse, but was perfect for our needs. We cruised the coast everyday and used the cottage as home base. We picked it so my 19 and 20 year old girls had their own beds. My daughters spent the evenings down by the floating dock, while my wife and I sat on the deck with the view of the lake. Overall, exactly as owner describes it and picture are accurate.

Loved it!

Mary's place was absolutely lovely and we had a great week filled with water play, hiking, and exploring the area. We especially loved the large open lawn for yard games and play with our 5-year-old. The property has a really nice entry point into the lake with a sandy bottom - absolutely ideal for swimming and kayaking! We saw a bald eagle flying overhead one morning while kayaking. Beds are comfy, and the house is perfectly equipped for vacation fun. Kitchen has the basics that you need for cooking and eating. Mary was very helpful but also gave us our space and privacy. Couldn't ask for a better host! If I had any feedback, it would be that the dock was a bit unstable - normally we like to put chairs out on the dock and sit at night, but it pitched back and forth too much for that, and our son was a little worried to walk on it. All in all, we loved Mary's beautiful place and her hospitality. Recommend 5/5.

This was a wonderful place to stay. We are very familiar with this part of Maine, and found this home to be perfectly located to enjoy the peninsula. The house itself is great - very cozy, clean and well equipped and maintained. The location on the lake is fantastic - very beautiful and peaceful. It's also a great place to kayak - we kept our kayaks down on the lawn and entered and exited the lake easily. Mary was a great host - very friendly and engaging. We'll certainly be back.

Beautiful Biscay

Mary's place on Biscay Pond is beautiful. The house was clean, nicely appointed for cooking meals together, and very comfortable for the three of us--a lovely place to sit and watch the lake and listen to the birds in the trees. The property's big open lawn area offered plenty of space to play outdoor games or read in the sun. We especially enjoyed taking long paddles up and down the lake, watching the loons, and sailing our small boat from the float.

It was the best place we ever stayed. Everything in the house was made with love and was imbued with the owner's perfect style. The house has absolutely everything you could possibly need. The nature around is delightful, large lot, very quiet even in high season. Surprisingly, just eight minutes by car and you are in a lovely town with cute stores and restaurants. For fishing enthusiasts: you'll be in heaven. The homeowner Mary is a charming very friendly woman with a brilliant sense of humor. We plan to come back here next summer.

Convenient location and clean comfortable cottage.

Mary's cottage was comfortable, clean and in a quiet setting on the water. We brought our own kayak and paddled the entirety of Biscay Pond as well as the lower portion of Pemaquid Pond (via a passage way at the northern end). We also day tripped (45 min) to Camden for some hiking and exploring there. The peninsula itself offers many "lobstah on the dock" opportunities as you explore the many working harbors. The wonderful Pemaquid lighthouse sits at the far tip with it's great rock outcropping. We had everything we needed to prepare meals, the bed was comfortable and the shower water hot (though low pressure). The heater took the chill off the September evenings. We would certainly consider returning for another stay.

My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing stay @ Mary's place on Biscay Pond. We enjoyed kayaking right from the cottage and exploring both ponds.

Perfect lake house for a small family

We spent a week here and had a blast! The cabin itself was the quintessential lake house: quaint, mismatched but cozy furniture, immersed in nature, and the perfect homebase for all the area had to offer. There were kayak rentals, ice cream, swimming hole and nature walks in 10 mins. Pemaquid Beach, the Maine Botanical Gardens (our fave) and lighthouse 20 mins away. Boothbay a half hour. Restaurants everywhere. We had everything we needed, and Mary was responsive when we needed to reach out. If you are looking for a fancy lake house, look elsewhere. If you miss going to your grandma’s lake house, and want to create that memory for your own kids, this is for you! There was a toy box full of odds and ends toys that our kids played with all week, and they had a big lawn to run around and, of course, a lake to swim in. “A fun, nice and cozy cottage. I really liked fishing and swimming there, jumping in the lake and swimming and we never wanted to go home.”—6 yr old son “Basically, I loved the whole thing.”—4 yr old so

This property was everything we hoped for and more. The house was clean, plenty big for the 3 of us, and the property itself was spacious and gorgeous. We are on the deck, lounged on the lawn, easily put in our kayaks, hung our hammock, and regretted not finding a night to enjoy the fire pit. There are only so many days in a week! Mary was friendly, responsive, and helpful. We have come to the Damariscotta area for years and this spot was centrally located to all our favorite places. The lake was a wonderful size and we enjoyed paddling up to Pemaquid Lake as well. Saw tons of wildlife - especially bald eagles and loons. Highly recommend staying here.
