Cottage in Edgecomb - Waterfront Holiday Getaway

A private waterfront cottage nestled away in the town of Edgecomb; “in the southern part of Lincoln County, which is situated upon the peninsula formed by the Sheepscot and Damariscotta Rivers, having Newcastle on the north and Boothbay upon the south.

The cottage sits on an acre of land and is surrounded by beautiful forest and a view of the hallmark village, Wiscasset. Perfect place for couples, family, or friends to spend the summer/fall/vacation or getaway by the river's edge.

Davis Island

The home sits at the end of a peninsula across from Wiscasset; a town known for its culture, beauty, and history. The view across the Sheepscot River captures all the iconic views of the church steeple and calming waters. The home's location is quiet and private with the exception of occasional friendly neighbors going for their morning walk down the road.

Fall Get Away

We loved our stay at this cozy waterfront cottage. The house is comfortable and well supplied. The cottage is in such a beautiful spot. We took walks down to the fort, explored the area and went to Sherman's Bookstore in Boothbay and Damiscotta. It was the perfect relaxing get away.

Coastal Maine Trip

This property was perfect for our wants and needs. Exceptionally well furnished and equipped. We much enjoyed sitting by the river and watching the bridge traffic in the early evening. This is a great location for day trips to explore coastal Maine.

Birthday Getaway

We had a wonderful visit to Edgecomb. The property owner responded quickly and kindly to an issue we had at check in. We enjoyed watching the water, walking around Wiscasset and Boothbay and exploring the backroads of Maine. Highly recommend a visit to the area. Check out Treats, Birches Cafe, and Yonder for delicious snacks

Spring Get Away

We had a wonderful stay in Edgecomb. The house is right on the water and the view of Wiscasset was beautiful. The house was spotless, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. Watching the water with the little propane stove going made the wet spring weather almost fun! We enjoyed hiking the local nature trails, walking in historic Wiscasset and lobster rolls from Red's Eats. We can't wait to come back.

Beautiful location, beautiful property

This was a perfect property for us because it was out of town but close to towns. Situated between Wiscasset and Newcastle, either was easily accessible, but the property was in a quiet neighborhood on the water. Nature preserves and lighthouses were a short drive away. And, only a little over an hour from the Portland airport. The house was sparkling clean. The kitchen was a dream. The host, Nancy, was a great communicator, which makes all the difference for a great short term rental. Would definitely return!

Fourth of July vacation

The house is in a quiet and walkable neighborhood. The bathroom is very nice. The kitchen is well equipped. Only found the location of the dishes down low in the island a little awkward to reach into. Comfortable beds and nice dining table. The couch does sink down a bit on the chaise side and is very small, only really fits 2 people. Interesting view watching the traffic on the Wiscasset Bridge. Was very convenient to watch the Fourth of July fireworks from the front yard, a fabulous show. We enjoyed walking down to Fort Edgecomb. It is a great centralized location, convenient to drive to Boothbay or to Damariscotta. We did have an issue when we arrived that the house and linens were not cleaned, a mix up due to an unusual situation but after communicating with the hosts it was quickly resolved. Because of that situation I only gave 4 stars for cleanliness, but otherwise it was a nice house, very nicely decorated. We ate at Reds for our first night there and then cooked on the grill for most of the others. We did enjoy our vacation there.

Edgecomb

The place was very nice. The TV was set up for a computer genius, could never figure the system out. Everything we tried wanted a payment. The bathroom is not set up for older people. My wife feel because of the lack of handrails.

Very nice home w/ scenic views

The property inside, I would say, was renovated recently . Decorated very nicely and was organized. The queen bedroom was comfortable. My wife and I stayed for 4 nights going south to Portland and north to Arcadia and bar harbor and around Wiscasset Boothbay and Edgecomb the other days.Th only thing is the outside could use a deck and a walkway and a drive way. Nancy the host was very communicative and nice. Thanks for the use of your beautiful home!

Happy Haven

Located just off Route 1 at the end of a quiet road. Easy access to Wiscasett, Booth Bay and Damariscotta. Beautiful views. House was immaculate, quiet, and the kitchen was fully stocked with amenities. Quiet road for short evening walks. Owner is extremely responsive if you need help with anything.

My daughter and I had an amazing two night stay at the waterfront house. I love sitting outside at night watching the cars go over the bridge. The location was easily accessible to all the activities we had planned, including beaches, lobster, shacks, and light houses. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful beautiful B&B thank you for having us.

Perfect Serene Vacation Spot

This was our second time staying at this property. We loved it so much the first time, we had to go back. The home is lovely and light-filled, the beds are comfortable, the view from the home and the location is great. It was the perfect spot to venture out on little day trips and then come back to relax and watch the sunset. Nancy is a wonderful and attentive host. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful home close to interesting things to do.

My husband and I arrived on Friday afternoon for a 2-night get-away. The home is beautiful with many special touches. Although I did not get to meet the owners, they were prompt in responding to my questions prior to the trip. There was everything available that anyone could need. We could not find an easy way down to the water and being seniors thought it best not to try. The views were beautiful. A must see close to this home is Reds Eats, an amazing lobster stand in Wiscasset. The line was long but it was worth the wait. We also visited Booth Bay Harbor and the Edgecomb Fort which is on the road to the home. We left feeling refreshed and hoping to return again in the future. Thank you to our hosts for a wonderful time!
