TESTIMONIALS
7/7/2022, Beautiful rustic spot right on the lake for family
reunion. Beautiful sunsets, fishing, kids playing at the
beach. Nights around the fire pit roasting s’mores
before the kids ran off to play inthe game room. Fun
for everyone. Cabins are rustic and cozy. Lodge is
more updated with amazing screened in porch and
large kitchen. The property waspretty with flowers
in bloom. Was pleasantly surprised at how much
closer cabins were to each other. Great spot.

our stay.
9/3/2020, Beautiful
lodge on Damariscotta in Maine.
We
spent a wonderful week at Sunset Lodge on Lake
Damariscotta in August 2020. Vickie, Noah, and
Karen have created abeautiful and welcoming space.
We were three generations together but socially
distanced from the rest of the world. The lodge
was perfect - a large, very well-equippedkitchen,
comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, 2 large family
rooms with more seating than we needed, and a game
room with ping pong and a pool table thatwere well
used during rainy afternoons. The lake was
beautiful with minimal power boats; we canoed and
kayak'd on the days it did not rain; we saw
deer,fish, loons, and an eagle. The stars were
beautiful at night with the big dipper hanging low
above the water. The lodge feels remote but is
close totowns and the coast. We ate wild mushrooms
from the Camden Farmer's market one night and
lobsters from the Round Pond Co-Op another. Hoping
to make the Lodgean annual tradition in the future
June 14,2014 A Perfect Family
Vacation. We rented the whole place for
our family reunion of 18 people. The description was
very accurate- it was a beautiful, private place. It
is so well equipped with games- indoor and outdoor
and swimming, fishing and kayaking. We had beautiful
sunsets every night while we ate on the huge
screened in porch. The kitchen is awesome. The place
is clean and well maintained and the manager was
very accommodating. If you want lobster the fish
market in Damariscotta will cook them for you and
you can bring them back to the lodge for a feast! We
would all recommend this property and hope to come
back again!
October 15, 2012, The Perfect
Rustic Getaway, We had our first stay in the Lakeside
Cabin at Sunset Lodge in late September, 2012, and
I'm already trying to think of times and occasions
when I might return. It is everything a rustic
retreat should and shouldn't be. It's peaceful,
comfortable, and has everything you need for a
restful, contented stay without having any of the
fancy distractions that just add up to so much
busyness. We were two couples and one
twenty-something young adult in the Lakeside Cabin,
and there was plenty of room in this well-equipped
cabin. We were treated to gorgeous sunsets,
blissfully quiet dark nights, and a curious loon who
came near the dock to check us out. Sunset Lodge and
Cabins is a treasure of a place, and I'm thankful
the owners have taken on the enormous task of
preserving this remnant of a bygone era. Their
willingness to continually make upgrades and repairs
gives me hope that visitors like us will have a
chance to enjoy this little piece of heaven for many
years to come.
October 21, 2012, A
Family Tradition Sunset Point has become a tradition
for my family of 4 – our first stay in the Lakeside
Cabin was in 2007, and we've returned every year
since. (That says a lot, because we usually prefer
visiting "new" places instead of repeating our
tracks.) But we can't get enough of this piece of
heaven on earth! The lake views, shoreline, and
sunsets are beyond compare, often with loons calling
in the background, bald eagles soaring nearby, and
an occasional turtle or mink in the foreground. The
setting is incredibly peaceful. The location is
perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating, no
matter what your age. My boys were 5 and 6 during
our first visit, and this year they'll return as 10
and 11 year olds – as eager as ever to find their
seats on the dock and around the campfire. In some
years, their grandparents have joined us too, so we
have three generations sharing time at the lake or
taking easy drives to Damariscotta, Camden, or
Pemaquid Point, where there are restaurants,
museums, bookstores, hiking paths, etc. The cabins
are comfortable and have all that's needed in terms
of basic requirements (hot water, coffee pots,
cooking utensils, blankets, books & games,
etc.). If we're not outside, chances are we're on
the large screen porch, playing games or gazing at
the lake. There's no TV in the Lakeside Cabin (thank
goodness!) and we leave our computers home, so this
is one week of the year when we truly "un-plug" from
the usual fast pace of life and enjoy the
tranquility of the best of Maine. Over the years,
the property owners have made improvements and
upgrades to make things even better for guests
(drinkable water, new bathrooms, new stove, new
docks). It's clear that they love the place, are
good stewards of it, and enjoy sharing it with
others. Whenever we have questions or needs, they
are quick to respond. The only downside is that our
week there always flies by! So when it's time to go,
we cheer ourselves up by thinking about next year…
We're never disappointed and feel so fortunate to
have discovered this lovely place.
