The house is absolutely beautiful and sits in a very private location in a serene woods setting. It provides access to Boyd pond through a trail- gorgeous. It is close to the beach, lots of places to grab a bite to eat, and all the beautiful coastal sites in the area. We loved the amount of space the house has- each bedroom is a great size. The house has so many features that are wonderful for hosting a family vacation. The only downside for us was how hot it was inside with no A/C. We stayed there during a record-breaking heat wave in July and it was sweltering in the house despite us having all the fans going. Other than that, everything was perfect! The host, Sandra, is so kind and helpful! She is responsive and answered every inquiry I had in a timely manner. She is wonderful!

Great vacation home!

This is the 4th year we have stayed and loved it! The new chairs in the living room area were a great addition. The property inside and out was clean and well maintained. This is also close to my parents’ house, and close to Damariscotta, the lighthouse, restaurants, and of course the water. We will be back again next year!

Lovely Maine Long Weekend

I stayed here with friends for a local wedding. The home was very cute and well-kept. It is in a great location, making it an easy drive to towns in multiple directions. Our only negative was that we had to take all trash with us and because we left on a Sunday, the local transfer station was closed, so we had to drive for a while with our trash in the car.

Cozy & Peaceful

I arrived in the middle of a late March snow storm! After harrowing driving conditions, it was a relief to enter a very warm and cozy cottage in the woods at Boyd Pond. The gas stove was lit and made the cottage warm and inviting.The chairs around the stove were very comfortable. the kitchen was well-stocked with all you need to cook and eat a great meal.The owners were available at a moments notice, and were very helpful with answers to my questions.All in all, I look forward to my next stay at Boyd Pond. I have been coming to Lincoln County for 25 years, and this location was a great surprise.

Cozy cabin in an excellent location

We stayed two nights here for a girls get together. Very private, clean and comfortable beds. The cottages location was perfect for us! Not far from Pemaquid beach and the town of Damariscotta. Also, a nice wooded trail to hike within walking distance. I would say that we were a little surprised to have to make our beds when we arrived. That was a first for us. Although there were written instructions on the doors, we found them very complicated to use. Other than those two issues, it was a lovely stay, and I would definitely recommend!

We rented this house during the last week of August and loved it. It was spacious and clean and the host was lovely. I was able to contact her with any concerns. We loved walking to the nearby pond (not handicapped accessible in case your husband has a walker like mine) and listening to the owls hoot in the woods after dinner. The location was excellent being halfway between Damariscotta and New Harbor where we walked the Pemaquid Loop every day. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking too. One thing to know is that the TV is upstairs- which is fine for most families and the internet worked well too. Also- some sap fell on the top of our car overnight - which was easily removed using hand sanitizer- so you should park away from the trees.

The cabin is cozy and we found it comfortable. However, I was surprised the beds were not made. The owner claims her preference was to leave folded sheets at the bottom of the bed for the client to make the bed. I find this quite unusual for a rental property; and, I believe, it sets the wrong tone for a vacation visit. In addition, the client is required to remove trash to a transfer station (a distance away) on departure (in our case, the station was closed on departure day). I also find this quite unusual. It would seem reasonable that both the above should be included and part of the departure cleaning service’s responsibility. The owner stated the main area ceiling fan was only partially working (on setting “1” only, as they hadn’t got around to fixing it). For a summer rental with no A/C, it would seem this should be priority issue for repair even in Maine during the summer.
