Vacation Rental Amenities

History of Sunset Lodge
The charming and rustic Sunset Lodge, on Lake Damariscotta, 
originally a fishing lodge built in the early 1920’s, a place 
families could come to fish, swim, play and relax. 

Sunset Lodge
Sunset Lodge is a perfect place for families or groups to retreat 
together from the crowds and pressure of everyday life. The Lodge  
sits in a grove of trees on a slight outcropping of land near the 
widest part of the lake, where the water deepens quickly (eventually 
reaching 114 feet) making it ideal for fishing and swimming. The 
building sits close to the water, offering beautiful views of the 
lake, the far shore and the stunning sunsets. The South Lodge has a 
large common room where everyone can gather for evening games or 
sings. The property is ideal for family reunions, retreats and 
groups. There is a wonderful outside shower which provides views of 
the lake. The lawn provides a plenty of space for badminton, croquet, 
shuffleboard, barbeques and relaxing and contemplating the lake.

Activities and Attractions

Boating
Today, Lake Damariscotta is one of central Maine's most pristine 
lakes. Available at the lodge are canoes, kayaks, sailboats and two 
docks while motorboats for water skiing may be rented in the area and 
moored off shore. 

Fishing
The Native American word which gives Lake Damariscotta its name 
means “abundance of little fishes.” The lake sports Brown and Lake 
Trout, Coho Salmon, Northern Pike, Pickerel, Smallmouth Bass and 
White Perch, among others. It is popular with fisherman. In the 
summer, fishermen find salmon in the deep trench that is several 
hundred yards off our beach. 

Fishing at Sunset Lodge
     Sunset Lodge is fortunate to be located on Damariscotta Lake, 
one of the great fishing lakes in Maine.  At over 4,000 acres, it is 
large enough and varied enough to please any fisherman, as it has 
pleased this fisherman for over thirty years. 

     Take your kids, a few worms, and motor down only a couple of 
minutes from the cabins. Schools of perch feed in the evenings. 
Smallmouth and largemouth bass can be found along the shorelines 
throughout the lake. If you like to troll, brown trout, lake trout 
and land-locked salmon hide in the deeper parts of great bay, 
straight out from the cabins.  There are also large yellow perch, 
catfish and pickerel.  Over the years, it's been a pleasure to fish 
this lake. Come to Sunset Lodge and share the pleasure.

Area Information
Lapping water and the haunting cry of the loons will lull visitors to 
sleep after long chats by a fire, while daytime activities may 
include a visit to the sandy beach in Jefferson a mile down the lake 
in Damariscotta Lake State Park for hiking, bird-watching, picnicking 
and water sports. 

If visitors are inclined to leave Sunset Lodge's lakeside peace, 
Camden, Rockland, Boothbay, Augusta and Bath, where you will find 
antiques, arts, crafts, and museums, are all close by. One can also 
follow the lake down to the Damariscotta River and on to the Salt Bay 
and ocean beyond. On the Pemaquid Peninsula, a half hour's drive 
away, you will find the Pemaquid Light House with its Fishermen's 
Museum and the picturesque yachts of Christmas Cove. You can eat 
lobsters on the deck at Shaw's Fish & Lobster Wharf and look out on 
the working lobster boats moored in New Harbor. Visitors may also 
enjoy the picturesque village of Damariscotta for shopping, eating 
theater, and music concerts at the Roundtable Center of the Arts. 
Craft fairs and auctions are commonplace in Mid-coast Maine. But at 
the end of the day you will be happy to return to the peace and quiet 
of Sunset Lodge. Damariscotta Lake and Sunset Lodge still capture the 
hearts of those who vacation here, as they have done for nearly a 
century.
