We had another wonderful family vacation in Bremen. The layout was perfect for our large family. The views are stunning and we had so much fun being right on the water. The location is great - you feel isolated from the rest of the world but you're also just a 10 minute drive to the store. My daughter is already talking about going back again next year. We can't wait to return!
We had an outstanding stay at a beautiful home on a beautiful lake. The local is ideal as you are close to Damariscotta as well as several ocean coves and hiking trails.
My family and I (ranging from 79 to 2.5) had an amazing week on the lake! The house was well laid out and allowed lots of together time, but also the ability to get away from each other when needed. We spent most of the week in or on the water swimming, fishing, canoeing, and relaxing on the dock. When we did decide to venture out there were tons of activities, shops, and restaurants within a short drive. We've been coming to this area of Maine for seven years and this was by far our favorite home. We can't wait to return next summer!
This is our third year staying at Birch Lane and we love it each time. The owners are wonderful and friendly and do a great job communicating. The kitchen is well outfitted so we can feed our crew of ten. We love that the dog is welcome and love even more the available boats and paddle boards.
Despite the weather we always have a great time! Property is in the most perfect location and the lake is pristine. Property is large so very quiet in the cove. Close enough to town and all the mid coast has to offer makes a great home base for exploring.
The property was located right on the water with a spectacular view. The Host was always prompt with responses to any questions or concerns. Just FYI, it does have A/C but not upstairs, so the upstairs did get a little hot.
We loved being back at this amazing property! It is a beautiful home in the best location. Communication with the owner was easy and clear at all times. We love the access to the lake and all the kayaks and canoes for the kids. Wonderfully taken care of home as well. We will definitely be back!
We had the most amazing time at the lake house ! We are a extended family of 12 , Ages from 60-5 . We loved not having to leave and pack up the kids to go to the beach , The kids and adults fished off the dock and swam everyday , The kids caught many fish every day , They never got off the dock . The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking, The house clean and tidy and comfortable, Beds were so comfortable, The owners are so kind . We booked for next year , canât wait to return . I only have one negative to say , I was washing all the towels including the beach towels ( not required but I thought it was a nice thing to do ) We had a 10 am check out and we were ready to head out , The towels needed 10 more minutes , The people who clean the house came at 10 and spoke very cruel to use about not being out , I was trying to make their job easier.But has no reflection on the owners are the house . 10 stars all the way . Such nice people who own this house . Michelle K
Absolutely beautiful location. Well maintained and authentic Maine lakefront property. The panoramic views of the lake from the table and porch were incredible. The dock was in excellent condition and the access to the water was very simple for launching canoes and kayaks.
Second time staying here - wonderful location with all amenities you need for a relaxing week on the lake regardless of weather. A great time had by all owner very responsive and the condition of the property was awesome with many noted updates. Already going to book again next year! Thanks Linda F for allowing us to share your piece of paradise!
Property was wonderful for our large group. Location and amenities were terrific. View was wonderful, on the beautiful lake, with a dock for fishing and swimming. Loved the two big communal areas in the house, one group watched football, the other group played cards at the large table overlooking the lake. House was clean, plenty of bedrooms, kitchen was well appointed. Wifi was great for all of us on our devices. We had a great time and would definitely rent again. Thanks!
We can't say enough about this wonderful property. Our family of younger and older adults enjoyed this well laid out home and the many outdoor activities available to us: kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, swimming, as well as running and long bike rides. Also loved sitting out on the deck in the early morning and listening to the loons. Hope we can rent again next year!
If you are thinking about renting this property do it today!! The house sits in a beautiful area on the lake, with great sunset views and very little boating traffic. It is well stocked with just about everything you may need, from the kitchen, blankets, puzzles, games and water toys . The home was clean, updated and has a very warm and inviting comfortable feel. This was our first time renting this far north and on a lake in Maine, it did not disappoint. You really do have the best of both worlds...lake and sea. You are 20 minutes from Pemaquid Beach with its white sand and beautiful views. So much to see nearby- Booth Bay Harbor, Rockport, Camden, Owls Head & Pemaquid lighthouses and Booth Bay Botanical gardens exhibit of the Seeds of the Garden Trolls. Linda was wonderful & easy to work with. Our only regret was not booking it for 2 weeks!!
Our large family enjoyed our first visit, but our return visit was even better! There were many updates including a new couch, ac, new dock, new kayaks, paddle boards, new doors, etc. There was ample room for multiple families, many activities to enjoy right outside the door and the picturesque sunsets every night. Linda was a wonderful host and answered any questions we had promptly. If we head up to the area again, we will definitely return!
Linda was a great host and my family enjoyed everything about our week at the cottage. The place was fully equipped with everthing you could want. The view was amazing, the decor was beyond beautiful, and Linda was a gracious hostess!
Our multi generation vacation of ten (plus one dog) thoroughly enjoyed this home and its locations. The fact that the lake was ten steps away and the ocean/sound was just over ten minutes away gave us so many options. Many in our party are from Maine and NH and it is great to get to those not far away places we don't make time to visit. For the family from NJ it was just wonderful to enjoy Midcoast Maine.
But it wasn't just the location that cause the strong rating . It was the good communication, the easy check in, the fresh flowers, clean and spacious home, linens provided, kayaks on site - it all made this vacation relaxing and easier. We were packed and ready to depart by 8:30 am, but sat on the porch until 9:50 to enjoy every minute.
This is the second time our group of friends gathered in this magical location. The house accommodated the 7 of us perfectly. We swam everyday and enjoyed the kayaks, canoe and paddle board. In the evenings we cooked in the well appointed kitchen and dined at the generously sized table while enjoying the view of the lake. Everything we needed was there. The host is absolutely lovely to work with. We hope to return some day.
We stayed the 2nd week of September 2020 and had beautiful weather. The house is perfectly situated on the lake, and has great views from the three main bedrooms and all of the living rooms, and kitchen, while the dining room has the best view of all. Beds are comfy and there are nice furnishings. There is everything included in the camp for a vacation - the kitchen is fully stocked (even has a coffee grinder) and canoes and paddle boards are there as well. Linda was easy to communicate with, and the process in and out was easy. Best camp we have rented yet, and weâve rented quite a few!
Back in 1936 our grandparents wanted a home where they could spend the summers with their four children. They came upon this piece of property with a fishing hut and fell in love with the property and the views. It has evolved into a beautiful home that has been the source of millions of wonderful memories and experiences. It was the highlight of our year when we would pack up an head to Maine for tons of lobster, swimming and water skiing as well as fishing, boating and going to the Pemaquid Light House. It is a home that has seen three generations grow up and enjoy all it has to offer.
My siblings and I who live in Texas, South Carolina, New York and New Jersey would like to share this wonderful piece of paradise. We are so fortunate to have spent our summers growing up here. The next best thing to spending time here is to have experienced the great joy of bringing our children and friends to this incredible spot.

The tranquil mornings, beautiful sunny days, often accompanied by a cool breeze in the late afternoon. Your days wind down to the most spectacular sunsets which lead to gorgeous moon rises and incredible stargazing all in your own private setting.
After traveling world wide, it would be very difficult to find such a beautiful, family friendly, private environment with the proximity to the lake, the sunsets, the moon rises and the stargazing.
