This cottage is feet from the water in serene Long Cove on the Damariscotta River. The deck and hot tub face the widest part of the river (which is actually a mile-wide bay off of the ocean) and the famous Maine sunset. The dock and sun-warmed rocks provide access for swimmers. Though otherwise nestled into the trees, the house has a large lawn off to one side for croquet or tossing a ball. The rocks in the river are often covered with seals.
The cottage itself is beautifully restored - all wood inside and out - with an open floor plan and skylights in the kitchen. Pretty much all of the comforts of home are provided, including linens and a fully outfitted kitchen. Wood is stacked for the fireplace all year long.
There are a number of hiking trails nearby. The kayak rental place in town will deliver and/or pick up kayaks. You can rent in town and kayak back to the cottage; put in at Biscay Pond and kayak thru the wetlands to Bristol; or paddle to some nearby islands with public access for hiking, including one with a pair of nesting bald eagles. Or bring your bikes and peddle to Pemaquid Beach or Lighthouse. There’s a big pot in the kitchen if you want to purchase lobsters at the co-op – or they’ll cook ‘em right up for you there. Life is good at 'Marguerite’s Cottage'…
A note on pets: Up to 2 dogs or cats are welcome so long as the owner will vouch for their being well-behaved and plan on vaccuuming up hair. Also, if your pooch(es) are prone to barking or howling when left alone or within earshot of another dog, please plan to muzzle them. Your immediate neighbors will thank you and the sound really carries when the water is calm.

Summary: I was already longing to come back to this phenomenal spot before I ever left. It could not have been a better experience. Stellar view from the deck, as well as hot tub! All of my needs were met and exceeded, with a fully appointed kitchen. Not sure what else anyone could ask for with the rustic charm of this secluded gem in a fantastic location on the Mid-coast. With the solitude of an end-of-road location, I felt very much at peace, as well as safe. I hesitate to even write this review, as I truly wish for it to remain undiscovered. Can't wait to come back!

Summary: We had a great two-week visit at this cottage on the Damariscotta River in South Bristol, Maine. It is right on the water with amazing water views and beautiful sunsets. You will see seals and birds on the little rock islands. The best features are the views from the deck and living room, a huge working fireplace, access to a dock for swimming or boating, a hot tub, an outdoor shower, three bedrooms with comfy beds, a really well-equipped kitchen, and pet-friendly with paths to walk your pups. It is a rustic log cabin with walk-around decks on the exterior that could use some maintenance at the time of our visit, but the interior is in good condition and comfortable. Also there is access to a dock and a mooring very nearby at the neighboring house. The dock is shared with the owners and other families and can be busy at times, so you will need to check with the owners about using the dock or the mooring for a boat. During most of our two weeks we had the dock to ourselves for a morning or sunset swim. The location is great. - close to so many great hikes, restaurants, shops, and adventures in Bristol and Damariscotta while at the same time being off the beaten path and quiet. Best of all, the owners Kirsten, Erika, and Doug were great- quick responses to any questions, issues, or problems that might arise. If you are looking for a Maine Coast Experience, this cottage is pretty great.

Summary: This was our families first stay in South Bristol. We wanted to explore mid coast Maine with our family. This area did not disappoint us. The cottage was clean, and had everything we needed to make the stay enjoyable. It was the perfect home base for us to explore the area. There were multiple hiking areas nearby for all levels of hikers in the family. The dock allowed us to enjoy our kayaks without having to travel with them. We loved watching the Damariscotta River birds, fish and seals from the cottage. The deck and dock have the most spectacular sunset views. Our hosts were exceptionallly hospitable. We had the most amazing stay and I cannot say enough about how grateful we are to have found this cottage. We will be staying here again!

Summary: We loved the area and the view of the river was gorgeous! The location was great for day trips sightseeing. The pictures and description were a little misleading. It has 1 1/2 baths instead of 2 baths. The furnitue in the living area was pretty shabby, not what was pictured, and quit dirty and dusty underneath. There were spider webs around the windows and fireplace. The bathroom shower had mildew in the grout and on the door, the toilet seat was broken. The king bed had a broken leg which we propped up with a piece of wood. We were pleased with the washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and stove. The grill on the deck was pretty greasy but the deck furniture was comfortable with a great view of the sunsets. It would have been nice to have some cleaning supplies available as we were there for two weeks. All in all we did have a good stay and and very much enjoyed our vacation.

Summary: Overall our experience staying at this South Bristol cottage was an amazing one. Sitting on the ship's bow shaped deck in the morning, coffee in hand, and staring at the Damariscotta river six feet below your feet was a heavenly way to begin each day. The residence is a charmingly simple & sparing home of knotty pine that gleams with the patina of time and love. The property was perfectly and completely outfitted. Everything we needed for our stay was on hand and in abundance. The long strolling lawn to the left of the cottage as you face the water was a perfect place to throw a ball for the dogs, play catch with my sons, and it lead to a pine needle lined path to a small peninsula of rocks where we launched paddle boards, and swam in the deep clean brine for hours. Just offshore from the house is a chain of small tidal islands that for the most part are rocky outcroppings that disappear at high tide. A bob of sealions resides on those rocks, sunning themselves during the day, and hunting the waters for food at dusk. Our nights were blessed with the soft sounds of barking seals, the bell like tolling of sailboat rigging ringing against masts, and the breaking of small waves upon the rocks. There's not a lot of businesses in the area to speak of, but what there is suited our every need. Strongly recommend the Harbor Side Cafe, Fisherman's Co-Op, and the Cove Side for a Dark & Stormy or 2. All within 5 mins of the rental. Our host Kirsten was a delight. The trip was perfect.
