Families are warmly welcomed. For everyone’s safety, children must be closely supervised at all times on the dock and around the waterfront.

8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Holly was very responsive to any questions we had prior to and during our stay. We stayed for 6 nights with our dog.The house is comfortable and spacious for up to four guests. It is extremely well equipped with kitchen necessities and then some! Don't worry about a rainy day spoiling your trip. Great game room in the basement, pool, darts, etc. There are books and games as well. One tip, bring your passwords for any of your streaming subscriptions to utilize the Roku tv.Garage parking is another definite plus!The location, on the Damariscotta River, is lovely, peaceful with beautiful views of sail and lobster boats. It was a wonderful spot for us to visit family in Damariscotta and favorite places in Bristol and S.Bristol. Don't go without visiting the Pemaquid Lighthouse! The Flanders

We had a great time and experience of staying at Clarks Cove Retreat. The view in the morning from the house was something special to wake up to. The house was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The washer and dryer worked fine and we had no issues with anything. We were fortunate to get to talk to 2 young lobstermen on the dock who "schooled" us about the lobster culture. This was encouraging to talk to these two of the younger generation who understand it will take hard work to be successful. I highly recommend this place.
