Some vacations fade into photo albums.

Others become family traditions.

Welcome to **Sunset Cottage on Damariscotta Lake**, a private lakefront retreat where timeless Maine charm meets unforgettable views. Lovingly restored by a master craftsman, this authentic knotty pine cottage showcases beautiful tongue-and-groove pine throughout, blending the warmth of a classic Maine camp with the comforts of home.

The moment you step inside, your eyes are drawn to the expansive picture window overlooking nearly a mile of sparkling water. It frames one of the cottage's greatest treasures: breathtaking sunsets that seem to linger across the lake long after the day is done. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, reading a favorite book, or sharing a glass of wine in the evening, the view is always center stage.

This is the Maine you've been dreaming about.

Wake to the call of loons. Spend your afternoons swimming, fishing, paddling, or simply relaxing in the hammock beneath the pines. Gather around the fire pit as the stars emerge overhead, toast marshmallows, and end each day with laughter, stories, and another spectacular sunset.

Perfect for Families

Sunset Cottage comfortably sleeps up to **8 guests** and is ideal for families, couples traveling together, or friends looking to reconnect.

Two inviting queen bedrooms on the main level provide peaceful retreats for parents or couples. Upstairs, the spacious loft quickly becomes every child's favorite place in the house, featuring two full-size beds and a twin bed. It's the perfect spot for cousins, siblings, card games, bedtime stories, and the kind of summer memories that last a lifetime.

Enjoy True Lake Life

Step outside and you'll understand why guests return year after year.

Launch the included canoe or one of two kayaks from your private stationary dock. Swim in the crystal-clear lake, cast a fishing line, or simply sit at the end of the dock and watch the world slow down.

After a day on the water, prepare a traditional Maine lobster dinner in the fully equipped kitchen, then gather around the picnic table overlooking the lake for an unforgettable meal. Fire up the grill, enjoy dinner outdoors, rinse off in the outdoor shower with a lake view, and settle in for another perfect evening around the fire.

Seafood lovers will feel right at home. The Damariscotta River is world-renowned for producing some of the finest oysters anywhere, and nearby Shuck Station, a converted vintage gas station turned oyster bar, is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the region's famous local flavor.

Whether you're exploring nearby villages, enjoying fresh seafood, or simply soaking in the slower pace of coastal Maine, you'll find there's always something to discover.

### A Little Secret...

There's a reason **Sunset Cottage** rarely becomes available during the heart of a Maine summer.

Many of our guests return year after year, making this their family's annual tradition on Damariscotta Lake. Week after week, familiar faces come back for the sunsets, the dock, quiet mornings with coffee by the water, and evenings around the fire. It's become part of their summer story.

Because of that, prime summer weeks are seldom available.

If you happen to find an opening during peak season, you've discovered something special.

We hope Sunset Cottage becomes part of your family's tradition, too.

The sunsets will be waiting.
