Peaceful Lakefront Tea House C1920, Minutes To Damariscotta

2023 RESERVATIONS OPEN NOW: BOOKING FAST
Hidden away on a quiet freshwater lake 1 hr from Portland & 7 minutes to the charming village of Damariscotta, Blenheim Park's Tea House is a magical spot for a getaway. Two charming c1900 buildings set back 900ft from the road, literally hang on the water's edge. Ideally suited for couples & solo travelers seeking peace and quiet, you'll enjoy exclusive use of a waterfront area, kayaks, canoe, inflatable swans & your own private patio set into the lake.

The 16 acre estate is home to Maine's largest cherry orchard with 200 sour cherry trees and 150 flowering cherries under crop. It offers over 1800 ft of private lakefront, 100ft of which is available to Tea House summer guests exclusively. There's a lovely sitting porch literally overhanging the water, and a sunny patio built INTO the lake. Spend the week restaurant hopping, fishing* from the patio, roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, swimming, kayaking, sunbathing, cooking, reading and stargazing to your hearts content.

The rental consists of two cottages. The Teahouse (the red one) is where you'll gather, cook, dine, lounge, play records and games and swim. The Boathouse (the white one) houses the bathroom and bedrooms. They are less than 100ft apart and both absolute waterfront. Fees listed are for two people. The Boathouse will accommodate up to six (in three beds) for $100 per extra person per booking.

The owners are on premises a few hundred feet away and available if needed, but also adept at 'disappearing' during your stay. Guests enjoy a section of waterfront to themselves where the peace and beauty of this gorgeous location will refresh and renew your spirit in no time at all.

COVID OPTIONS:
For the 2023 season we're continuing to limit rentals to six nights only to allow our cleaning team to perform increased cleaning procedures and allow the cottages to air out a full 24hrs between guests.

*Fishing requires local permit, easily obtained online.

- We are absolute lakefront into deep water. This rental is not suitable for children who cannot swim.

A slice of Heaven with cherries on top
After you pass the Cherry orchards on your drive to the Teahouse, you’ll see the beautiful flower beds and the pristine lake, and you’ll know this is the perfect spot for a dream vacation. Owners are terrific.

Paradise
We loved our return visit to Blenheim Park! Completely relaxing with all the amenities you may need and some you don’t even realize that you need, like the croquet and bocce sets, the canoes and kayaks, and the fire pit and gas grill! We plan to return next year, and the year after that. . . .

Stunning
Couldn’t get any closer to the lake. Great indoor and outdoor spaces. Water was warm and deep for great swimming, and we saw (and heard) many loons. Great week.

About the host

Hosted by Kerry Payne Stailey

Host profile image
Hi,
We are Kerry and Justin, photographers and business execs, who recently escaped Brooklyn for the beauty of Maine and Connecticut. We love great food and fancy cocktails and feel that Mid Coast Maine offers the best of everywhere we've each lived (including San Francisco, New York, Pennsylvania, Lake Tahoe, Byron Bay and Sydney). Here we've found a friendly happy community, a strong art scene, distilleries and vineyards, true foodie destinations, and scenery so lovely you'll be dreaming of it long after you leave.

We settled into Blenheim Park, our dream home, in January 2017, and knew immediately it was too lovely to keep to ourselves. Come and enjoy it with us!

Why they chose this property

Blenheim Park is a stunning 16 acre estate that was lovingly transformed into an estate over a 40 year period by the previous owner. Long time fans of the beauty of Maine and the warmth of its people, we watched this property online from our home in Brooklyn for a year, and finally inspected it during a trip to volunteer at a Maine summer camp for bereaved children.

We fell in love and immediately set about selling our Brooklyn properties to make the move North. It's truly our dream property and we're excited to share it with guests during the warmer months.

What makes this property unique

- We are absolute lakefront with deep water. Property is not be suitable for young children who cannot swim.

Lovely under snow, blooming in Spring, refreshing in Summer and vibrant in Fall, there's not a season that doesn't shine at Blenheim Park.
