About this property
Quintessential Maine Lake Cottage, Quanahawasset, a John Calvin Stevens Original
Nestled on over 1,000 ft of west-facing frontage on Damariscotta Lake's stunning Great Bay, Quanahawasset is the perfect spot for you and your family to enjoy a Maine lake vacation. A private winding driveway leads you to Quanahawasset, which is perched just about 30 feet from the water's edge, ideally placed to be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves lapping the shore from the screen porch or one of the three bedrooms. Enjoy swimming, the giant dock, kayaks, stand up paddle board and a canoe during the day and then at night enjoy s'mores and a campfire around the outdoor firepit while watching the magnificent sunset across the Great Bay of Damariscotta Lake. Come to Quanahawasset if you're looking for a luxurious, private, authentic, and memorable Maine vacation experience that will leave you feeling refreshed, relaxed, and recharged when you leave.
