Romantic Studio with Shore Access

My husband and I found this property to be even more lovely in person than it shows in the pictures. It is warm, inviting, comfy and beautifully decorated and incredibly well equipped. Joy's studio is located in a wooded setting with large windows and skylights galore that even on a cloudy day, everything looks bright and cheery. The deck offers a wonderful place to eat, read or watch the birds feed or see the stars and peaceful, private surroundings. Joy has provided a lovely binder of maps (some hand made) and information of the area. Damariscotta is a short 17 minute drive, which is a quaint year round town, not touristy, with lovely shops, activities, sites and restaurants.
Everything you need is provided for a comfortable stay, including a comfy bed with lovely bedding and linens. It is a magical place to enjoy your artful side, (this being an art studio) or you can just to relax reading or listening to the birds or music.
We recommend this rental without hesitation, just do not rent the week WE want to visit Joy's Haven.

Joy's Place is a true Joy to the visitor.
As you arrive in this studio you will find anything a good chef will require to prepare an excellent meal, her kitchen is fully equipped and the ingredients couldn't be fresher.
A few minutes down the road you will be exploring wonderful little towns, full of charming local shops and stunning sunsets.
It is definitely worth a trip.

I first stayed at Joy's place in June of 2005. Since then I have spent many weeks there in all seasons. It is and will continue to be a destination spot for me. I immediately felt right at home. I am ascetically driven and space oriented. Joy's place is an artist's studio with art and art supplies everywhere, a high ceiling and windows all about. Walking in is akin to stepping onto a palette or a piece of art in progress. The energy is palpable.
Joy herself is just that. Always responsive, ever enthusiastic, invisible and never intrusive.
In short, I give the absolute highest rating.
