August 2026Mid-Coast Maine Haven
This location couldn't be better for exploring Maine's Mid-coast and Downeast coastline regions. Lighthouses (visited 10) and excellent local breweries (sampled ??), fresh lobster and oysters everywhere. The property in Newcastle is just across the Damariscotta River, and a walkable historic township on it's own merit. A highlight for us nearby Glidden Oyster Farm - a biological and culinary delight! The charming hosts are attentive and responsive to ensure a welcome and comfortable stay.”
