Summary: The Willows is in a great location near Damariscotta Lake State Park and centrally located to explore mid-coast Maine. The inside was clean and the furniture and beds were nice. The deck was nice and you can see the lake between the trees. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, and all dishes that you will need. The living area is like an apartment above a garage that is not insulated and this means we struggled to cool it down and keep it cool even with ceiling fans. There is an AC unit, but being upstairs and above an uninsulated space it just cannot keep up. We only found one small window fan to use in place of the AC. You have to pick up and drop off the keys to the unit about 20-25 minutes away. This was a first for us, as usually there is a lock box or the owner/caretaker unlocks the unit prior to arrival. We also had to haul our Tuesday -Saturday trash out and to a local dump. There was a trash pickup Tuesday morning. The workers at the dump were pleasant, but we were asked repeatedly where we were from and if we had a sticker allowing us to dump our trash (we did not, but were allowed to leave our trash.) I’ve only ever had to pack out trash when camping and was not aware that this would be our responsibility prior to booking. The host was responsive with one issue that we had. We had a difficult time figuring out the lake access from the apartment. Overall, it was basic, but nicely furnished and gave us a central point for our explorations and adventures.
