Coffee on your deck with a serene sunrise as you watch eagles soar

We stayed in this lovely home over Columbus Day week. The home was perfect and we enjoyed a blend of eating in, cooking our meals in the wonderfully stocked kitchen as well as meals out in Damariscotta and the numerous towns in easy driving distance.The views and local hikes made a wonderful fall vacation. While we did venture out to some larger, well known parks, out favorites were close by.The local Pumpkin Festival lasts for 3 days, and we did pop in for some of the fun events happening all weekend. It was a perfect way to enjoy small town Maine.Beds were comfortable and the deck was just lovely. It was a wonderful trip to Maine and I would highly suggest this location as a home base.

Trudi’s Place exceeded our expectations in every way! Absolutely gorgeous home in a beautiful , quiet neighborhood. Stunning views from inside the house and we also enjoyed seeing bald eagles as we sat on the deck or walked to the nearby rivers edge . Hosts Tom and Jennifer made us feel right at home. Cleanliness was A-1. Home had all of the supplies you would ever need . Very convenient to local shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is very peaceful , on a dead end street, so very quiet . Neighbors were super friendly too. We highly recommend Trudi’s Place and hope to go back there soon! Such a very special place to relax and recharge .

This was our third summer staying at Trudi's Place and, just as before, we had a wonderful time. It was a pleasure to meet up with our hosts, Tom and Jennifer, again. Their special touches to the property and overall courtesies were very much appreciated. The Deck style house was perfect for our family with plenty of space for gathering as well as quiet places for reading and daydreaming. We especially enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, wrap-around deck, comfy beds, and proximity to Damariscotta shops and area lobster pounds. A real treat!

Quiet and beautiful views of the river. House was spotless and had everything you would need to relax and enjoy.

Beautiful location and well provisioned kitchen.A variety of restaurants, nature spots/hikes, and local history are all minutes away.Strongly recommend taking a day to rest and relax and enjoy the serene views fom the house and deck. Unplug, and enjoy! Gracious hosts live close by and are very helpful.

We had a wonderful vacation and hope we can go back in the near future. We love being on the river and the town really exceeded expectations on the dining front as well as just walking around & shopping. There are so many trails within a short drive and the location is great for launching out for half or full day trips to many popular places. But actually just like being on the river and this is a special and happy house, we felt at home.

This was our second stay at Trudi’s Place. Heaven on earth. Tom and Jennifer are fantastic hosts. We spent lots of time with our own kayaks on the river. Paddled to town as well as points south. The house is beautifully appointed and has a very well stocked beautiful kitchen. Great views. Comfy in every way.

Beautiful setting, easily settled in, had all the comforts of home but we were on vacation! Great location for daily outings in the Damariscotta area. Jennifer and Tom are great people to know and went out of their way to make our experience memorable. Highly recommend Trudy's Place

Very nice week in Damariscotta. The house was extremely well equipped and the host (Tom) could not have been more welcoming and gracious. Tom and his wife live just across the street from the rental property so he was accessible for questions and help. The house was very comfortable, had a nice view, and was convenient to town. Couldn't ask for more for a vacation rental.

Very well equipped and gorgeous views. Hosts were kind and attentive. An absolute winner

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and offers both convenience and privacy. We enjoy cooking, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The open concept afforded lots of light, and the view was lovely. There is lots to do in the area - Pemaquid lighthouse, Coastal Botanical Gardens, galleries, and hiking etc.

House is fantastic, beautiful view of the river, great light, comfortable and very well stocked. We went out for some meals but also love to cook. It was easy to make great meals with the lobster coops, farmers markets etc. we brought our own kayaks and access to the river was easy, we loved exploring the river this way and paddling to town for lunch was a lot of fun. We saw bald eagles, seals,, osprey and many beautiful birds including a barred owl that we heard at night. We look forward to returning. Tom is very gracious host. We highly recommend it, the peacefulness is unsurpassed.

Beautiful, immaculate property in magical location. Wonderful host. Well equipped home with every need anticipated and available. All the charm and natural beauty of midcoast Maine at your doorstep. Perfect location to access any activity you could wish for. We loved our stay !

This house is in the perfect location. Right down the road from the center of Damariscotta and short day trips to a large number of fun locations to visit. It was clean and the kitchen is incredibly well stocked and organized. The location on the water is beautiful with great views.

This was our second summer stay at the house. There is so much to do in the area, convenient shopping and creature comforts but feels like a quiet get away. This year, right from the deck we saw deer, an eagle, crane and other wildlife.

Trudi’s Place was the perfect location for our June 2024 visit to Damariscotta with friends. The house was centrally located for day trips to Acadia Nat’l Park, Augusta, Portland, and more. The village of Damariscotta has great shopping, galleries, and restaurants. We took two boat trips and visited Glidden Pt. Oyster Farm. Tom and Jennifer were friendly, attentive hosts and the house is well-appointed with everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. We loved having breakfast on the deck every morning, watching the tide come back in. From the deck and house, we saw eagles, black-backed woodpeckers, deer, and more. It’s a lovely neighborhood to walk, and the path down to the water is beautiful. We would not hesitate to stay at Trudi’s Place again. Thank you Tom and Jennifer!
