Description

Little Thumb sits on the water's edge on Damariscotta Lake, under pine and oak trees. It is surrounded by water on three sides and looks south down the long part of the lake. The cove to the East is a favorite feeding place for heron and bald eagles. Dangle your feet off the private dock, and watch ducks paddle by. Let the loons lull you to sleep.

We offer weekly rentals during the summer. We offer shorter stays in the shoulder seasons. This is a seasonal cabin and is not available during the winter months.

The kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms have been totally remodeled. The kitchen has a gas stove, microwave, and center island. The bathroom also has a washer and dryer. The living room has a propane stove and full views of the lake. There are two bedrooms with blankets, pillows, and quilts provided. Sheets and bath towels are standard. Please bring your own swim towels.

The cabin sits on an island which is now attached to the East side of Damariscotta Lake by a causeway. A wetland has grown up beside it. There are only about 10 houses and it feels very private.

Walk or bike along the dirt roads. Kayak or canoe from the dock. Fish in the cove. Or just relax and enjoy the views.

Swimming: We usually can swim right off our dock. The water off the dock is often too shallow for diving. It is deeper by the swim float. You can swim to the float or paddle there from the dock.

We keep two kayaks at the cottage, a 14' Necky Manitou and a 13.5' Perception Catalina, plus two paddles, and life vests. You may bring your own kayaks too. Plus you can rent kayaks, canoes, or paddle boards and have them delivered. Please let the life vests drip outside before bringing inside.

If you wish to rent additional kayaks or a canoe you can make arrangements with MidCoast Kayak in Damariscotta. They will deliver and pick up right from the cottage.

There is a sand beach at Damariscotta Lake State Park, 10 minutes from the cottage.

There is a sand beach and ocean swimming at Pemaquid Beach in New Harbor, about a 1/2 hr from the cottage.

We have a private well so you do not need to bring bottled water to drink or cook with.

Sheet sizes: We have one queen-sized bed and a two of twins beds.
