Thank you for the "flooding information", and some bottled water. We used it to drink, cook, brush teeth, and sanitize the dishes after washing them.
Appreciated patience of emergency person as we fumbled with lock after our 12 hour drive.

Pyne Island is such a New England gem! The house is cozy while still keeping its classic charm, with the naturally lit living room and its patios being the perfect place to relax in the early evening. The 4.5 island is great for walks, and has a fire-pit and a hammock to enjoy. And the waters around the island are full of lobster, even when throwing traps right off the dock! I'm looking forward to going back to Pyne Island again and again.

the cottage was nice. the views of the pond right outside the doors was beautiful. even though much of our stay was cloudy, the inside of the cottage was bright because of all the window area and the openess of the interior. very serene and peaceful. already planning on returning.

Their places are amazingly kept. They only accept and therefore offer the finest rentals. They are Professionals at renting. Literally. 15 yrs experience doing this, and not only surviving but thriving means you are doing something right.

The house and garden are beautiful. We loved the fireplace and the big table in the living room (big enough to hold large board games).

Arrangements were easy to make, and the staff was very accommodating of periodic questions and requests. I left a book behind at check-out, and they were kind enough to mail it back to me.

Our stay at the Lodge at Ducktrap for Thanksgiving was everything we had hoped for. The property is amazing and lends itself perfectly to a big family gathering, with plenty of space for everyone to gather together and enjoy each others' company while taking advantage of the many wonderful features of the giant family room. The kitchen was perfect for cooking a huge Thanksgiving feast.

My experience working with the folks of On The Water In Maine has been wholly positive. I appreciated how they far they went to assist me in finding Nokomis Cottage after my first choice fell through. I really like all the information provided, which is well-written, comprehensive, and has a great "tone of voice." I give On The Water In Maine an A+ in communication.

We loved the immediacy of Nokomis Cottage. Easy access through the front, and off the back a brief yard and then rocks, water, and at low tide a walkable sandy beach. The cottage itself has an open floor plan: kitchen & dining area flow into a living room whose windows offer a panoramic view of the bay which is dotted with tiny storybook islands (bring binoculars). The interior is lovely, with a clean & artful aesthetic. We appreciated all the books, the artwork, the airiness& plentiful light. The kitchen is such a pleasure to cook in, very well supplied with all the tools one needs, and the appliances are superb. We loved hearing & watching the loons, and were thrilled to see a pair of seals playing close by. The bird feeders close to the deck were another treat with so many friendly chickadees.

We enjoyed Sunfish cottage. We appreciated the unobstructed views of the lake and the loons! The lake was quiet and the fishing great. The dock was perfect for putting in our canoe. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.

This is a wonderful property! The house, sited above the tidal Damariscotta River, has views from all of the many windows and the large deck. The furnishings are tasteful and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped which was a joy to us with the farmers market, fresh shellfish from down the road and seafood and butcher shops in Damariscotta. Beds are great with quality linens including the towels. We enjoyed the books about Maine and the geologic map of the Pemaquid Peninsula area. Above all, it is very clean and well maintained. The owners obviously care for their Maine home.
The walk to the river and back became easier during our stay. In late afternoon we loved sitting on the dock, which is suspended over the river, and watching eagles and ospreys and fish.

I like working with On the Water in Maine! They are concerned about guest experience, and were very responsive during booking and during the time we were at the house.

Based on the photos on the website, we had high expectations of this house--and it went beyond those expectations! In a wonderful oceanside setting, the house is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We loved having so many bedrooms and bathrooms. Because we had more than usual rain, we didn't spend as much time outside as we anticipated, but we settled into the living room that has great water views. The only thing that prospective renters should be aware of is that the area is limited in dining and activity options. This is a great property if you want to spend time at the house, beach, and in a hammock or playing lawn games. But if you're looking for many options to be out and about in the surrounding area, you'll be spending time driving.

Lincoln Lookout proved to be the best vacation rental property we have enjoyed for the last ten years. It is a great central location from which to visit many attractions and events within 80 miles. The view from the deck is spectacular and there were no bugs this year. We had no problem removing our shoes to take care of the beautiful floors. We appreciated the overall cleanliness. Even without a dishwasher the dishes and cook ware were perfectly clean.The beds were comfortable. We appreciate the quality of the linens and other items provided, especially ALL of the kitchen items. The grill cooks steak very well and the second gas tank provided the fuel for my lobster burner. By the way TOM CAT LOBSTER on south shore drive is a great/clean place to buy lobster! Just 3 miles from the house.

We were absolutely thrilled with Penobscot View! The house was nicely appointed and very comfortable for our party of 7 (including my 88 yr.old mother) We loved the unobstructed view, the expansive lawn area, pool, and the graveled ramp down to the beach. It was like our own private resort!

This is a beautifully appointed & generously supplied "cottage" The pantry, with its attention to detail, made it easy to enjoy meals both inside & out The fire pit was a treat that we made use of every day. The vistas were appreciated thru most every window. The beach front, even though rocky, gave us fabulous finds of beach glass.
