4 Bedroom House in Damariscotta, Bristol
Perched along a quiet and scenic stretch of Benner Road in Bristol, right on the edge of Damariscotta, the historic Hinsdale House offers a unique blend of early Maine heritage and modern comfort.

Now owned by a writer and a museum curator, the home is beautifully adorned with folk art and paintings collected from across New England, creating a warm, curated atmosphere that feels both timeless and inviting.
The Hinsdale House comfortably accommodates up to eight guests, perfect for larger groups or multiple families. Upstairs, a newly renovated playroom provides a perfect space for children, along with three additional beds ideal for group sleepovers or flexible sleeping arrangements.
Ideally located for both relaxation and exploration, the property is just a 4-minute drive to Biscay Pond, 10 minutes to the shops and restaurants of downtown Damariscotta, and only 18 minutes to the sandy shores of Pemaquid Beach and the iconic Pemaquid Point Lighthouse.
