About this property

Biscay Repose, Biscay Pond, Bristol. Private, spacious, family friendly

  • Our spacious house, Biscay Repose, sits on a secluded hillside overlooking the west shore of Biscay Pond on a one acre tranquil location among the trees.

    The main living area boasts an open, airy floor plan, with timber framed cathedral ceiling, wood floors and a loft. There are two dining areas, in kitchen and great room, with room for six at each table.

    It is a lovely and bright home, which includes a large deck to entertain or just to relax, enjoy the sun and the views of the pond and listen to the loons. There's a smaller deck off the kitchen with a barbecue grill.
    The secluded backyard has plenty of room for Frisbee, birdwatching, reading, or sunbathing.
    You will be quite comfortable in this well-appointed home and it will make your vacation feel like home!
    There is common deeded access down the road to the pond from the property for swimming or fishing. Also, on Biscay Beach the north end of pond is great swimming and fishing plus a good boat launch.

    It is not far from Damariscotta, Round Pond, and the Pemaquid Region, as well as Wiscasset and Boothbay Harbor, where one can find many local shops, charming restaurants, art galleries, museums, theaters, river and ocean waterfront activities, town libraries and many other attractions. Nearby are easy access beaches, lighthouses, and abundant (coastal) nature preserves with lots of areas to hike or mountain bike.
    Located just ~10 miles from the ocean.
    Canoe and kayak rentals are available nearby.
    Canoes, kayaks and motorboats can launch at nearby Biscay Beach, Muscongus Harbor, Pemaquid Harbor or Round Pond, among many others. Excellent base for great day trips in Maine. Combines the essence of being in nature with simple amenities. A well-appointed secluded house in the Maine woods. Experience Maine's ocean, woods and beautiful and sparkling clean lakes.
    We love our lake house, and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Great location with peaceful views overlooking the pond. Jill was a great host and communicated with us anytime we had questions. The place was cozy and quiet, which was perfect after our day trips up and down the mid coast of Maine. This was a perfect central location to all the things we had planned on our itinerary.

This house has everything! I've never stayed in a rental property that was so well stocked and organized. The house is very spacious and nicely decorated. We were all especially impressed with how clean it was. It's tucked away on a private road, nice and quiet but close to everything. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck every morning with our coffee and listening to the birds sing. Jill was wonderful to work with and very accommodating. She really thought of everything when she put this vacation home together. I highly recommend this house for everyone, even those traveling with children. It was home away from home for all of us. We definitely will be back. Thank you Jill for a wonderful stay!!!

Peaceful and Quiet Getaway

As the title states, it was a peaceful area to stay in. Our host was phenomenal when the power went out, going as far to provide some water (we have a sub-one year old) and a coffee maker. I would recommend this location to family and friends

A wonderful vacation at Biscay Repose!

My wife and two children stayed at Biscay Repose for two weeks and we absolutely loved our time there! Jill was a superb host. She was always very kind, responsive, and helpful both before and all during our trip. We had asked her if it the house had a crib for our 2-year-old son and, though it didn’t, she went out of her way to locate one for us. She was also very helpful with directions, since Google Maps is not reliable near the house (we discovered that Apple Maps did work well though). The house itself was beautiful, just as advertised, spotlessly clean, and well furnished and equipped. The house location is very quiet and peaceful, and steps from the pond. There is a small beach at the pond, but we spent much of our time visiting the Pemaquid beach and lighthouse, about 20 minutes drive, which are truly gorgeous. Damariscotta is the nearest town, about 10 minutes drive, with great shops and restaurants, on and off the waterfront. I highly recommend Biscay Repose. We’d love to return for a future summer visit.

I couldn't be more pleased with this rental home. It was exactly as described and pictured. The living area on the first floor was spacious and inviting, with lovely decor that felt very intentional. We actually felt like we were living in the owner's home as opposed to a vacation rental. The kitchen was superbly stocked with all of the cookware and utensils needed to enjoy meals at home. We also appreciated that there was charcoal for the grill. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck with its peek-a-boo view of the pond. It's a very peaceful and private setting surrounded by tall trees.Jill (owner) responded to texts promptly and went out of her way to make sure our stay was comfortable. We greatly appreciated her attention to detail and her friendly conversation.We would love to return next time we come over to the area.
