Great place
Great place to relax and get away! We enjoyed our time and our host was very accommodating. She actually let us use one of her pack and plays for one of our kids. The only thing I would say as a heads up for toddler and infant parents, there is one spot in the deck railing you should keep an eye on because a child could fit through it. Overall, would highly recommend.

Wonderful spot and beautiful place.
The cottage had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. The owners were very responsive to any questions or issues we had. The lake spot was beautiful for swimming and kayaking. At the beginning of our stay, there was a record amount of rain which meant mosquitos were plentiful. But after a couple days of sunshine they were gone. The DVD selection was so fun. Having a map of the lake was great. The beds were comfortable. Thank you!

Perfect Mainestay
Calyn's tastefully appointed, comfy cottage is beautifully located on quiet country road, on a small rise with a gorgeous, multiwindow main room and deck overlooking the lake. There's a kayak dock nearby among the lilypads and then a short walk to a sandy walk-in / another dock for lake enjoyment, with a raft to swim to. It's perfectly situated in the "narrows" of the large Lake Damariscotta, and even on summer weekends there weren't too many motorboats/jetskis. Calyn was super responsive and responsible in addressing any questions and needs. You're 15 minutes north of Damariscotta and 15 minutes south of Moody's Diner -- what more could you ask for?

Amazing gem tucked away
We loved our stay at the Otter Getaway. Enough room for all five of us to spread out and enjoy the beautiful views of the lake. Kitchen was amazing and the tv/dining room was a cool, added bonus. Will definitely be booking again!

A little slice
Our stay at Otter Getaway was a little slice of heaven! We have rented several different 'camps' on Damariscotta Lake over the years and this one is at the top for amenities at it's price point. It is not directly on the lake but we did bring a boat and it worked well for us (it's in a type of 'cove', the creation of which you can read about at Moody's Diner). It is located about in the middle of the long lake and allowed easy access to whichever direction my fishing family wanted to go! Not being directly on the lake actually cut down on the noise of boat traffic. The home has undergone a remodel recently and all the updates are simply lovely. Sleeping for 5 adults was very comfortable. I took a photo of the tag on the king mattress as I'm seriously considering getting one! We took full advantage of the deck for meals, together time and stargazing! Remember to look up!! Beautiful. We also truly enjoyed the fire pit...one of the safest, most contained 'pits' we've enjoyed. Another prime spot for stargazing! Mosquitoes have been an issue at other locations we've rented but were minimal here...and it helps to remember they are mostly out at dusk...it's a matter of outlasting them. Once it's truly dark and prime stargazing hour the bugs are gone. Having a dryer in the cottage was ideal for drying wet towels each day. The only negative we could think of is the water. Very rusty. We purchased bottled water as soon as we could.

Beautiful Home
Otter Getaway was more than what we anticipated. The house and landscape were impressive complete with very “sweet” details. Having use of the kayak and paddle board made our mini vacation even more memorable.

Perfect Lake Vacation Home
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Calyn's newly renovated home! The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully quaint, and just steps away from the serene lake. The neighborhood is quiet, making it the perfect spot for a peaceful family vacation. The lake is truly breathtaking and served as an idyllic setting for all our summer activities. Calyn was an amazingly hospitable and flexible host, making sure we had everything we needed and accommodating our requests with ease. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We are already looking forward to our next stay at Calyn's house. Highly recommend!

Enjoyable stay at “Otter Getaway”
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this rental. We found the host was prompt to respond to inquiries we made. The cottage was clean & well equipped. Bed was comfortable. However, it wasn’t a preferred location for us. And, it required driving down a road that had a stretch of substantial pot holes. The view of the lake from the cottage was very limited and, accessing the lake did not work for us. Although kayaks were available, we are not kayakers. But, we do canoe and, would probably look at renting a canoe if in those same circumstances again. We have been visiting the Damariscotta area annually for 20 years and, usually stay in West Neck area on Lake Damariscotta where my husband has family. It was nice to explore a new area that we were not very familiar with. I would certainly recommend “Otter Getaway”.

Great Stay!
We only stayed for one night to visit family in the area but all raved about how great the property was and that we would love to come back again to stay longer! Secluded, quiet location. Extremely clean. Great communication with a little welcome basket waiting for us. And comfortably slept 5 with the futon being much larger than we anticipated. Thanks for everything!!

Stellar
We had an incredible Father's Day weekend at Otter Getaway! Imagine the location of a traditional Maine camp but with all of the amenities of a nicer resort-hotel like a modern, well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. The entire cottage feels brand new. Some in our party like roughing it, while others do not and Otter Getaway checks all the boxes! The protected cove was perfect for our 5 year old to experiment with a kayak on his own for the first time. There were a few nice surprise touches like the awesome fire pit right next to the water, a smores kit, and use of kayaks and paddleboards. We heard loons and frogs all night! While Damariscotta can be a busy lake, we were surprised by how quiet this spot was. Calyn made us feel welcome and, though we didn't have any issues at all, let us know she was available if we needed anything. Thank you for sharing this spectacular slice of Maine with us!
