About this cabin rental
Sunset Lodge, built in 1919, will return you to a bygone era. Sited on the Eastern shore of Lake Damariscotta on 14 acres of rolling lawn and woods, with 510 feet of pristine water frontage (with great fishing and fabulous swimming directly in front of the property), two dock/floats, a small sandy beach and beautiful sunset views to the west, this property is perfect for family reunions or for several families who want to vacation together, enjoying the peace and serenity of one of Maine's most beautiful lakes. The Lodge has an 80 ft long screened porch for eating or just sitting in the evening to hear the loons. The Lodge has 5 bedrooms (all with a view of the lake); 4 bathrooms, a newly remodeled large and well-equipped kitchen, a large room for group activities, and a new 620 square foot game room with pool and ping pong tables. The Lakeside cabin has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Judy's cabin has 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. There are 2 small 1 bedroom cabins with bathroom. Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen with stove, refrigerator, microwave, utensils, barbecue and wood stove for cool evenings. All cabins have screened porches. There is a shuffleboard court. There are canoes, kayaks and a sunfish to rent, for an additional fee.
Great Fishing: Sunset Lodge is fortunate to be located on Damariscotta Lake, one of the great fishing lakes in Maine. It was sited in 1919, so it's one of the best on the lake. At over 4,000 acres,the lake is large enough and varied enough to please any fisherman, as it has pleased this fisherman for over thirty years.
Take your kids, a few worms, and motor down only a couple of minutes from the cabins. Schools of perch feed in the evenings. Small mouth and large mouth bass can be found along the shorelines throughout the lake. If you like to troll, brown trout, lake trout and land-locked salmon hide in the deeper parts of great bay, straight out from the cabins. There are also large yellow perch, catfish and pickerel. Over the years, it's been a pleasure to fish this lake. Come to Sunset Lodge and share the pleasure.

Great Swimming: The water is great. Swim off the beautiful new docks or from the shore. Take a morning or evening swim up or down the the lake with its interesting shoreline and eagles flying overhead.
Great Boating: You can't beat the Damariscotta Lake for boating. Sailboats, motorboats, rowboats and windsurfing all popular on this 10 mile long lake.
The property has a shuffle board, a ping pong table, a pool table and lots of games and puzzles.

Sunset Lodge is exactly as described - rustic and basic and yet equipped with everything you need and in a perfect location. We used the main lodge and cabins, took advantage of the dock and kayaks, sat around the outdoor fire at night. It was great.

We had such a memorable trip to Maine and really loved the chance to stay with our full extended family in one property. The property itself is on a beautiful part of the lake with (as you may expect) wonderful sunset views. The main cabin is perfect for hosting meals and hanging out with the entire family. The two fridges and sinks were clutch with this many people. We also loved the game room! Esp on a rainy day.The kyacks and paddle board were really fun on our sunny days. The smaller cabins were fairly rustic nit very "Maine." Overall, it was a very special week for our family!

My two brothers, my sister, and I gathered our families together at Sunset Lodge for a week of connection and fun. We swam, fished, kayaked, sat around the fire pit and cooked s'mores, played ping pong and pool, shuffle board and foosball, swam some more, knitted, put puzzles together, cooked, ate, made a family movie, swam and swam some more, baked and celebrated an anniversary, played guitar and sang, read books, played nukem, told stories, played games, watched sunsets and loons float by. We reconnected in a beautiful place that offered us the space and activities to build special memories. We are so grateful to Noah for providing Sunset lodge for our family. We hope to return. Sunset Lodge is a special place.

Our family had the pleasure of staying at Sunset Lodge twice. Our first stay was in September. Our second stay was during Columbus day weekend. I had been looking for a place on the water and found the Lakeside cabin on the internet. From the minute that we pulled into the parking lot we knew that we had found the perfect vacation spot. The Lakeside cabin was just steps away from beautiful Lake Damariscotta. The grounds are surrounded by beautiful pine trees and a large green lawn. We were fortunate enough to see a pair of bald eagles nesting in a tree during our stay. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit at night. And the sunsets are breathtaking! The cabin itself was well equipt and very comfortable. We highly recommend the Sunset Lodge to others. I am already in the planning process to rent all the cabins/lodge with a group of friends for next Spring/ Summer.Dont forget to take a ride to Pemaquid Lighthouse. It was amazing!!!The Dampolo's
