It was relaxing very comfortable. clean my family also thought it's a beautiful place. The only thing i would suggest it putting in darker curtains in the bedroom downstairs, and there a bee hives in the tree out of the first-floor bedroom, halfway up its white face hornets very nasty. but other than that, it was a beautiful place we enjoy very much.

It was definitely all we needed that week! The water was warm and we swam numerous times each day, even one evening! We explored in the kayaks, friends came and caught fish off the dock, found the passage over to Pemiquid Pond kayaking, read 2 books and even found creative time to paint & sketch! Thank you, Irina & Vincent for sharing your wonderful spot! We will most definitely be back!

Our wonderful hosts’ tastefully appointed home is flooded with light. It offered serene lake views from every room. Loons and ospreys frequent the water. We enjoyed them from: inside; the dock; and the thoughtfully provided kayaks. Damariscotta provided a food market, shops and riverfront dining- all within minutes. On the damp days, the region offered alternatives like the Maritime Museum in Bath or the thunder of waves crashing at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. We will return!

This was our second time at Owls Nest. It is a fabulous house, extremely well managed by the owners. Special touches everywhere. We kayaked, hiked, took boat tours and just did nothing. It was marvelous.

Wonderful stay again this year at Owls Nest. Love the location on the pond, perfect for sculling. Beautiful home and so well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc. And truly love midcoast Maine with the ocean, rivers, lakes, and family that live nearby. Loved our stay! Thank you!

Ideally situated on a commanding promontory along serene Biscay Pond, Owl’s Nest is the perfect launching point for all that Maine has to offer: swimming, kayaking, fishing, and hiking, as well as shopping and dining in charming Damariscotta only 5 minutes away. The beautiful and well-appointed house is very spacious and comfortable, and the property offers plenty of privacy and space for outdoor activities or relaxation. We especially enjoyed the dock, raft, and paddle boards. The owners were extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. We hope to come back next summer!
