Private Retreat, Absolute Waterfront, Minutes To Damariscotta | Cottage in Bremen
2 Bedroom Cottage in Bremen
Hidden away on a quiet freshwater lake just 1 hour from Portland and 7 minutes from the village of Damariscotta, the Tea House at Blenheim Park is a place to slow down, exhale, and settle into the rhythm of the water.
Set on a 16-acre lakeside estate, two turn-of-the-century cottages sit just at the water’s edge—so close you’ll hear the gentle lapping of the lake from bed. Tucked 900 feet from the road, this is a rare kind of privacy—quiet, uninterrupted, and deeply restorative.
THE EXPERIENCE
This is not just a place to stay—it’s a place to be.
Mornings begin with coffee on the porch, suspended over the water. Days unfold slowly—swimming from your private patio built into the lake, drifting out by kayak or canoe, or simply reading in the sun. Evenings are for firelight, records spinning, and skies full of stars.
You’ll have exclusive use of your own waterfront area, including:
- Private lakefront access with deep water entry
- Kayaks, canoe, and lake floats
- A lakeside patio set directly into the water
- Fire pit for evenings under the stars
THE COTTAGES
The rental includes two separate waterfront cottages, just steps apart:
1. The Tea House (red cottage) — your gathering space for cooking, dining, lounging, music, and games
2. The Boathouse (white cottage) — bedrooms and bathroom, designed for rest and quiet
Both sit directly on the lake, connected by a short walk (under 100 feet), creating a sense of space while still feeling intimate and connected.
Rates are based on two guests. The Boathouse accommodates up to four guests total (two beds), with an additional fee per person.
THE SETTING
Blenheim Park is home to Maine’s largest cherry orchard, with over 200 sour cherry trees and a growing collection of ornamental cherry blossoms. While the orchard itself is not open for general touring outside of scheduled events, its presence shapes the landscape—open skies, curated plantings, and a sense of quiet intention throughout the property.
With over 1,800 feet of private lakefront, your stay offers a rare combination of natural beauty and thoughtful design—close to everything, yet entirely removed.
Spend your days exploring the Midcoast—oyster shacks, coastal drives, and local shops—or never leave at all.
A NOTE ON PRIVACY
We live on the property, a few hundred feet away, and are always available if needed—but equally mindful of giving you complete space. Most guests remark that it feels as though they have the entire place to themselves.
GOOD TO KNOW
