Victorian with Lawn & Beautiful Water Views.

Damariscotta, Maine, United States

The Yellow House is a magnificent old family summer home overlooking the Damariscotta Harbor, perfect for a classic Maine vacation or family reunion. We welcome guests at The Yellow House from Memorial Day through September and close the summer home for the winter. At any time during the year, guests will have the privacy of being the only guests at the property.brbrThe property has a unique blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience.

Pop out for a coffee and pastries in the morning, grab a lobster roll for lunch, enjoy renowned Pemaquid Oysters and a beer at Schooner Landing in the evening, or take a walk after dinner for an ice cream cone. brbrThe house has wonderful character and has been a gathering place for families for decades.
