Lakefront Midcoast Maine retreat-Damariscotta Lake

We had a fantastic four day stay to celebrate my Dad's 80th birthday and my parent's 61st wedding anniversary! Damariscotta Lake holds a special place in our family's hearts as we had a cabin nearby for nearly 30 years. The quiet location on the cove is spectacular and the cabin itself is adorable! Plenty of room for three couples and a teenager! The cabin was well stocked with basic supplies, sheets/towels, cookware, smart tv and internet to make everyone feel at home. We enjoyed the fire pit nightly as well as fishing from the dock! This is a unique spot for a multi-generational getaway that will please the whole family! Many thanks to our owner, Leigh, who was always clear and timely in her communications and helpful with instructions and recommendations! We hope to return again to enjoy this beautiful spot during the summer months!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and would highly recommend. The view, decor, water toys, well stocked kitchen were all very much appreciated by our family.

We loved the home and the location! Perfect for rowing in the off season. Loved the loons calling from all areas of the lake, the dock for watching the sunset and soaking up the early fall sun, and the comfort of the house. We will be back!

We had an amazing week at this house. We love Damariscotta Lake and have rented on this lake for the last five years but this was one of our favorite places we’ve stayed. Going through the campground to get to the house is a little strange at first but once you’re on the property it’s perfect. We rented a boat and had a fun time tubing. Everything you need at the house to sleep 2 families with kids plus a bonus sleeping nook which we used for our friends who ended up staying one night. Loved the big tables for meals or games. Would stay here again!

This property is beautiful! Went beyond my expectations. I texted the property person about a noise the water was making and my text was responded to immediately. Great for kids as it has 6 bunk beds. We had only adults but everyone wanted to meet at our place. Highly recommend this!!

This property is exactly as depicted in the photos. Beautifully decorated and has a wonderful view of the lake. We especially appreciated the supplies provided - starter TP, laundry detergent, kitchen towels, spices, cleaners, beach towels. Lots of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, etc. It made it very easy to prepare meals. The house comes with two kayaks and three paddle boards with life vests. We rented a double kayak and one more single from Mid Coast Kayak Rental. The lake was a little choppy due to wind during our stay but we were able to get out on it several times. FYI, there are two Hannaford grocery stores nearby - a smaller one in Waldeboro which is closer (15 minutes) and a larger one in Damariscotta (20 minutes). If you need more firewood, the Damariscotte store is the only one that sells it. We took a little day trip to Camden and Camden Hills State Park - a charming town! We were all very very happy with our stay at Spear Camp!

The area is wonderful, the lake-front location of the property is spectacular. The house is real gem, one of the newest, well appointed, brightest and cleanest places we have ever rented. The amenities provided by the owners, grill, kayaks, dock, to name a few were, covered all our needs very well. The modern, well equipped dock was especially appreciated. Topping it all off, the owners were a pleasure to work with.

While we have been coming to Damariscotta Lake for over 20 years, this was our first visit to the Spears Camp. Now I know where we will come back every year. This home is stunning and met our needs better than any lake home we have stayed in. The beds are very comfortable and the bed linens and towels were perfect. The house is roomy and so comfortable. The kitchen is perfectly stocked and has everything you will ever need. The waterfront and dock were perfect for our boat, for fishing and for swimming. We loved hanging out by the waterfront and the sunsets were magnificent. If this house wasn't already perfect enough, add central A/C and you've got a bit of heaven. This lakefront home is the place we have been searching for for over 20 years. Now we've found it and won't look anywhere else!! Thanks, Leigh, for a wonderful, wonderful week and letting us use your beautiful homes. Tim and Bonnie Dinsmore P.S. The colors in this home are incredible. Love your taste!!

We loved our stay. The beds are very comfortable. Showers are great. Great for a family. Sadly we were not lucky with the weather so we couldn't take advantage of the lake. Then the internet did not work so well, as a result we could not watch television. This may be a problem with the area, and the lack of broadband.

Everything was exactly as pictured, the house felt brand new yet super comfy! The lake view can not be beat!
