About this cottage rental
Located in South Bristol, this charming cottage for $129 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. This simple, charmingly rustic cottage sits right over the Damariscotta River, affording serene waterfront seclusion; at high tide, the river laps the shore beneath your feet. Upstairs, you'll find one bedroom with a double bed, futon, and closet. Downstairs, the living room couch folds out to a double bed. The ground floor includes living room, full kitchen, and bathroom, opening up onto a spacious deck and float, providing access to several miles of island-studded river views--perfect for exploring by kayak or rowboat (rowboat available upon request). Moreover, at your feet sits a remnant of old Maine - a real working waterfront, complete with fishermen, yachts, and a thriving aquaculture oyster farm. Lobsters and other seafood are available right on the wharf. The cottage itself sits below a field two hundred yards from a country road, seven miles south of the market town of Damariscotta. PLEASE NOTE: this property is only available on a weekly basis, renting Saturday to Saturday. No smoking is allowed. On weekday mornings, the fishermen may start their engines early, but it is a brief and a minor disturbance.

Very cozy and comfortable. You cannot beat the view from the cottage. Space heaters needed when it gets colder but they worked like a charm. Thank you Becky for being a terrific host

"Honeymoon Cottage" was adorable. Small and rustic with all the comforts of home. Just what we were hoping for. The location was beautiful and quiet.

Simple but overwhelmingly special nautical location with just the perfect combination of a charming cove and private location. Oh by the way - the cottage was absolutely wonderful with panoramic views of the cove and all its natural beauty. The quiet was also a welcomed peaceful part of our vacation.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Honeymoon Cottage. The cottage was perfect for my husband, adult daughter and me. It was clean, bright and inviting, and it had everything we needed for our week long stay. It was in a convenient location for everything we wanted to do during the week. The best part about it was the view! So beautiful and peaceful! We will definitely stay there again when we return to Maine.

The cottage was small but stocked with all we needed plus the location was more than we had hoped for...just feet above the water at high tide with several working boats just offshore.
We are in our middle 70s. The steps from the parking area to the cottage were well laid out and no problem for us, The inside stairs to the second floor are no problem as long as one is careful. There is no internet connection but just past parking ares is a connection at a nearby office. But to us the view of the river was all the communication we needed!!
Becky communicated well and was very friendly to talk with when we met her. We are planning to go back next year for the views and all the attractions up and down the coast.

This over the water cottage was a dream! I fell in love with it the minute I found it on line. It’s charming, authentic and one of a kind! And the location is to die for! I was happy just sitting on the deck looking out at the out islands, fishing boats and nature. My 75th birthday celebration was very special ....the whole week was. Quiet, and dreamy.
