Trudi’s place: the best of all worlds

Tom, the owner, was extremely helpful our entire stay. He asked us for suggestions at the end of the trip, and we really could not think of any. This home has everything, and all utensils and staples you could possibly need. It is clean, cozy, and bright. The King bedroom is a real sanctuary with its comfy bed and beautiful water view. Minutes from the downtown and grocery stores.

Damariscotta River Retreat

Of all the towns and villages in Mid-Coast Maine, Damariscotta was always my favorite, and after I sold my long-time summer studio in a nearby town, I wanted to find a place in Damariscotta where I might stay for a week or two...a quiet place on the river where I could reflect, recharge and reconnect. Trudi's Place gave me all of that and so much more! The tall pines, wildlife, and river views are definitely inspiring, and the house, itself, is truly a retreat, with emphasis on "treat." It's spacious but cozy, with several sitting and dining areas, comfortable beds that insure a good night's sleep, and a kitchen that is superbly well-equipped. Tom and Jennifer are amazing hosts! Their gracious hospitality and thoughtfulness was very much appreciated.

Stay in Damariscotta

Thoroughly enjoyed our two week vacation - again! This makes over 50 years of Maine vacations. Our hosts were very attentive and helpful. Their rental has all the accessories and conveniences anyone might need. Our only compliant dealt with the weather - two hurricanes, really???

A wooded oasis!

Immaculate but comfortable space with amazing vistas from every window. This home is perfectly appointed and nestled at the end of a charming lane with a magical point to sit and gaze at the water. Tom and Jennifer are fabulous hosts!

A Hidden Gem on the Darmiscotta

Trudi's Place is charming with tucked away vibe, but only a mile from all the creature comforts of town. A well-appointed kitchen was one of our favorite features, and we enjoyed the great blend of comfy furnishings and artistic touches. The veiw of the water was loveliest dawn. We loved that we could escape for a quick trip (25 min)to Pemaquid Beach or just 5 minutes away to the cute shops and restaurants in Darmiscotta. Jennifer and Tom were gracious hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Tom Anderson and Jennifer Lee

Tom Anderson and Jennifer Lee own and live in the house at 97 Westview (directly across the street) and are available to answer any questions about the home and the area and to assist with any issues. We are permanently retired now in Maine and are originally from California. We offer a complimentary wine tasting, upon request, in our pub on one evening during your stay in our fully equipped Irish pub.

Why they chose this property

This property is directly on the River at the very end of our street and peninsula adjacent to the common turnaround. It is rural, quiet, and is home to a variety of wildlife (e.g., bald eagles, seals, fish, many seabirds, etc.). At the same time it is less than 1.5 miles from the center of town, and near all conveniences such as three supermarkets, Walgreen's, gas stations, shops and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

The most unique aspect of Trudi's Place is its location including its proximity to all of the local Damariscotta Services and Merchants, while being directly on the Damariscotta River in a very rural area. The Damariscotta River produces 80% of the oysters from Maine, that are considered some of the World's best, and they are right on the shore in front of this house!

Rise in the morning directly facing the sunrise and enjoy coffee on the deck directly off the kitchen. We provide a canoe, kayak, and rowboat that are available in season as well as use of a private dock (at our main house at 97 Westview directly across the street from Trudi's Place) for direct river access.

Finally, we offer complimentary cocktails or wine, upon request, in our Irish Pub in our house directly across the street on one night during your stay of 7 days or more.
