Quiet Riverfront getaway to enjoy Midcoast Maine!

Hagen’s Hollow
Enjoy the wonderful ambience of this quiet riverfront getaway ideally situated to explore the Maine coast by river or by car. Take in the fresh salt air, listen to the birds sing, enjoy sightings of bald eagles, seals in the cove at high tide, and clammers hard at work, earning a traditional Maine living.

The Space
2 BR, 1 BA, sleeps 4
Hagen’s Hollow offers all you need for a comfortable stay. This 1,500 square foot space is located on the lower level of the owner's home. It has two bedrooms with queen beds (blow-up mattresses available for extra children) a large, newly renovated bathroom, well-equipped eat-in kitchen, spacious closets, washer and dryer, living room area with TV, stereo and WIFI, a screened in patio with direct riverfront views, outdoor fire pit and grill.

The unit comes equipped with two single kayaks and a double, and two bicycles for your enjoyment. There is a path close to your entrance where kayaks can be put in (it’s tidal and water/mud shoes recommended) and another put-in area approximately 800 feet away, or about a minute’s walk. Here, you can sit on park benches and enjoy the views of a small island, the local oyster farms (this area is called the Napa for Oysters), or enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day as you take in the splendid westerly views and gorgeous sunsets.

Guest Access
Guests can access the unit through the side yard where there is a lit path leading to a private entrance. Please note that there are stairs and a sloping pathway, therefore if you have walking issues or are handicapped, this may not be the property for you. The owners occupy the upper level of the main house, but you will not see them unless you need assistance.

Nearby Attractions: This location is 1.5 miles from the center of town, an hour north of Portland, a 20-minute drive to Pemaquid Point lighthouse, Boothbay Harbor and Bath; a 40-minute drive to the charming village of Camden, and just two hours to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

The area’s highlights include: lighthouses, Pemaquid Beach, Colonial Pemaquid State Historic Site, lakes and beaches, artists’ galleries, a local movie theater, award-winning restaurants, antiquing, hiking, nature preserves, fishing, birding, Monhegan Island, whale watching, breweries, distilleries, golf courses, farmers’ markets, lobster pounds and oyster farms. There’s something to delight both young and old alike.
In case you haven’t heard, Damariscotta was recently voted the #1 spot to visit in Country Living’s article, “40 American Towns You Haven’t Heard of but Should Visit ASAP.”


We look forward to welcoming you to Hagen’s Hollow.

We have stayed with Lisa and Rick many times over and have enjoyed our time in their home and in the area. Their kindness, hospitality and generosity are boundless. We are drawn to Damariscotta and will continue to stay in Lisa and Rick's home. It is our home away from home.

We had a wonderful week in this beautiful place. Perfectly stocked with everything you could ever want, comfortable and well-thought out in every way. Our hosts were welcoming and available for questions. The property is located in a very quiet, peaceful area that is easily accessible to town and many areas that we enjoyed visiting. We loved it here and will definitely stay again when we are traveling to Maine. You should treat yourself to a relaxing getaway here!

Great Place!
This was our first Maine experience and this property has all the amenities listed as well as extras. It is a wonderful location in the mid coast of Maine. We were able to do so many day trips to different places we wanted to go to. We were able to visit, Freeport, Bath, Booth Bay, Camden, Pemaquid, Rockland, and Acadia. The restaurants in Damarisotta did not disappoint. We enjoyed all of them. We were well pleased with our stay. Lisa and Rick were very welcoming and gracious hosts extending all offers of help if needed.

Amazing home and location!
We had a wonderful time! The house was spacious, comfortable, clean, and very well stocked, with beautiful views of the river. The location was perfect. Lisa and Rick put together a binder with tons of helpful information about local amenities and things to do which came in quite handy. We’d love to stay here again!

Another wonderful stay.
This was our fourth stay with Lisa and Rick. It feels like our home away from home. We are so comfortable here and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Loved the serenity of kayaking on the Damariscotta and we so enjoyed our day trip to Monhegan Island. It is such a magical place and we plan of visiting again. We are now looking forward to our return trip for Damariscotta's Pumpkinfest. We are sure it will not disappoint.

It was perfect for us. Super clean, cozy, with everything we needed and more. Lisa was super helpful, responsive and kind. Glad to be able to carry 2 of the 3 kayaks to access the water. Reminder to folks not to smoke in non-smoking places so the renters who follow don’t have to smell your butts! Thank you for a wonderful week.

My husband and I have stayed in many properties on our annual Maine trip, but Hagen's Hollow our favorite! The location is perfect, the home has everything we needed and alot more in case we did! The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen cozy and well stocked, the screened porch a delight to see the water and waterfowl. Lisa was so friendly and welcoming and communication easy and quick to respond, we had a wonderful stay!

Lovely spacious property with gorgeous water view. Just south of the picturesque town of Damariscotta. Near New Harbor, Pemaquid and South Bristol. Very quiet and private. .The best stocked VRBO we've rented. Owner was most helpful. Look forward to staying again.

Quiet, Private and Beautiful
I stayed at this beautiful property while attending a professional class at Anatomy Trains, a campus about 6 miles from the location of this VRBO. I shared this VRBO with a colleague friend, hence the two bedrooms were perfect providing space and comfort. I loved the fully stocked and operable kitchen, a door that closed to the kitchen, so I could make food early mornings without disturbing my friend. We both loved walking on the quiet residential road, sitting on the rock by water, and kayaking. This VRBO place is quiet, private, meticulously cared for, and has a luscious screened in porch with a view of the water. Because this is and feels like a home, it provides a nice place to visit and enjoy the visit. I would very much enjoy staying here again. I sincerely appreciate Lisa's welcome, notes, and friendship during the stay. Thank you!

Vacation rental was very clean, comfortable, and well equipped. All you need is your toothbrush, clothes, and a sense of adventure, everything else is supplied! Rick and Lisa are awesome hosts. They go above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. We appreciated the cold bottle of Prosecco after a long drive from Michigan. We were very impressed with our stay in 2021 and decided to book for 2 weeks in 2022. Great location for whale watching, puffin tours, lighthouses, lobster pounds, Reny's, antiquing and more!

Beautiful and peaceful!
We absolutely loved our stay at this charming place on the water. Hagen’s Hollow has a wonderful view with a screened in porch to enjoy it from. It’s in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood and also close to great restaurants and fun shopping. The house was spacious and comfortable, with great beds. It was like having the best version of home to return to after all of our day trips around the area. But what made this stay extra special was Lisa and Rick’s attention to detail—from a bottle of chilled rose’ when we arrived to running to get us a “need to have” item we couldn’t find….just so kind! We highly recommend! Thank you Lisa and Rick🥰
