Seeking a quiet coastal getaway?
The Willett House is a charming 19th century home on a property adjacent to the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center, on the shore of the Damariscotta River. With a secluded beach and expansive woods at the end of a private lane, the Willett House is the perfect place to experience coastal Maine.

Willett House history
The property was donated to UMaine in 1975 by George Willett, a friend and contemporary of Ira C. Darling. Over the years it has been a favorite retreat for scientists conducting research at the DMC.
