About this property

Biscay Repose, Biscay Pond, Bristol. Private, spacious, family friendly

Our spacious house, Biscay Repose, sits on a secluded hillside overlooking the west shore of Biscay Pond on a one acre tranquil location among the trees.

The main living area boasts an open, airy floor plan, with timber framed cathedral ceiling, wood floors and a loft. There are two dining areas, in kitchen and great room, with room for six at each table.

It is a lovely and bright home, which includes a large deck to entertain or just to relax, enjoy the sun and the views of the pond and listen to the loons. There's a smaller deck off the kitchen with a barbecue grill.
The secluded backyard has plenty of room for Frisbee, birdwatching, reading, or sunbathing.
You will be quite comfortable in this well-appointed home and it will make your vacation feel like home!
There is common deeded access down the road to the pond from the property for swimming or fishing. Also, on Biscay Beach the north end of pond is great swimming and fishing plus a good boat launch.

A wonderful vacation at Biscay Repose!

My wife and two children stayed at Biscay Repose for two weeks and we absolutely loved our time there! Jill was a superb host. She was always very kind, responsive, and helpful both before and all during our trip. We had asked her if it the house had a crib for our 2-year-old son and, though it didn’t, she went out of her way to locate one for us. She was also very helpful with directions, since Google Maps is not reliable near the house (we discovered that Apple Maps did work well though). The house itself was beautiful, just as advertised, spotlessly clean, and well furnished and equipped. The house location is very quiet and peaceful, and steps from the pond. There is a small beach at the pond, but we spent much of our time visiting the Pemaquid beach and lighthouse, about 20 minutes drive, which are truly gorgeous. Damariscotta is the nearest town, about 10 minutes drive, with great shops and restaurants, on and off the waterfront. I highly recommend Biscay Repose. We’d love to return for a future summer visit.

Peaceful and Quiet Getaway

As the title states, it was a peaceful area to stay in. Our host was phenomenal when the power went out, going as far to provide some water (we have a sub-one year old) and a coffee maker. I would recommend this location to family and friends
