Damariscotta Lake Farm

We recently visited Damariscotta lake this August for a family trip in a lakeside rental. The owner of the home had the Damariscotta lake farm resturaunt on his personal list of must visit resturaunts in the area.
First off don’t expect anything fancy but instead you should like to know that the entire property has a great county feel and you feel welcome right as you step through the door. The owners are involved with running the restaurant and they are great people. The first time we went there we came by boat and dock at their very well-​kept waterfront. We arrived at 11:05 and they had closed their kitchen 10 minutes earlier to prepare for lunch. We were all excited for breakfast and were so disappointed when we found out that the kitchen was closed. Pete, the owner saw our disappointment and quickly ran in the kitchen and told his wife that they would be serving our party of six a delicious breakfast. The waitress was super friendly and had a lot of tips and advice for the area. She took our order very kindly even though we are an indecisive group lol. The entire meal seemed as if my grandmother prepared it it was delicious and wholesome. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are awesome! Overall experience was really great and I would recommend it to anyone in the area that want a solid breakfast with a great view with great people.
On one of the mornings we went for breakfast our boat ran out of fuel just as we were approaching their dock. The owner and his wife were so kind that they sent their son to the gas station and brought down gas cans to fill our tank free of charge! This is why I recommend this restaurant and the entire area in general it is filled with great people!

Let’s face it, the bed and breakfast experience is hit or miss, especially in mid-​coast Maine. I grew up in Jefferson and came back this July and stayed in the DLF B&B. The folks who run this place are as friendly and accommodating as can be. The room is nothing fancy, so those of you looking for knock-​off Laura Ashley sheets and the Maine B&B lace and hand-​churned butter schtick need look elsewhere, but is in keeping with the original history of this old farmhouse. The rooms and beds were clean, fresh, and comfortable. They serve great breakfasts in the restaurant (don’t waste your time at Moody’s Diner… they’re too busy selling t-​shirts these days to serve a warm egg). I recommend this place to anyone who likes to feel at home and enjoys meeting some great folks in the course of their travels. We’ll be back!

I posted a review for the restaurant so I guess I should write a review here too…
The restaurant is great 5 stars… and the rooms are great too. We stayed there at the bed and breakfast. The owners Pete and Darlene are truly the nicest people. The room was quiet, cute, clean and cozy. I wish I would’ve taken pictures. Guess I have to go back :)
