Le Vatout

What People are saying

Magical, lyrical and gorgeous

I came to this wonderful place on the basis of earlier reviews, but wow was I ever surprised and exhilarated! I arrived just as the seasons were shifting - it was getting very cold and dark in Maine. I knew how glorious the mid-coast was, but I was yet to find out that one's place on the coast, where one hangs his hat and kicks up his feet can make all the difference. Suffice it to say that Dominika's instant glowing welcome, from amidst stacks of novels that already speak to me and her spitfire partner Linda's black-and-white photographs, photo shoots of nature, set the stage for a stay like no others. We talked and talked, became fast friends. Every morning there was a new culinary discovery before I took off on an expedition. And they recommended gorgeous hikes to walk off an exceptional buckwheat pancake or splendidly whipped up frittata. Our morning conversations were delights and sealed an instant connection - I only hope I can cook up as much fun when I return the favor some day. Accommodations were funky and excellent in their old house, and the splendor of their never-ending garden, evolving along beloved crooked pathways in a world that defaults to what's square and predictable, inspired me to get in touch with a side of New England I might otherwise have missed. I'll come back and I'll come home to Le Vatout and to what is good in life!

Great late season rate nestled between Rockland and Daramiscotta

This B&B is directly off Route 1 on your way to Rockland. Could be easier to find off Kaler's Corner if the sign were better situated though. The hosts are very nice and make a great breakfast. Generally only one parking spot per room, which could be an issue for some. We were lucky in that one room was empty when we arrived so it was OK. They have a cat, so if you are allergic this will be an issue. Two of the rooms, the two with two double beds, share a bathroom. Wasn't a problem for us because the other room was empty. The garden is incredible, definitely spend time there if you stay here, it is like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Great recommendations and conversation from the hosts. Short drives to Rockland and Daramiscotta from here but much quieter in Waldoboro.

C'est Magnifique

What could be better? A delightful breakfast of duck egg, sausage, potatoes and fresh herbs from the garden prepared by the skillful hand of Dominka. Our hosts were genuinely warm and friendly which accounts for the delightful and interesting guest they attract. Lots of good conversation, laughter and wonderful sleeping accommodations in a small hamlet tucked away in the pines of Maine. TO QUOTE COLE PORTER< 'YOU'RE THE TOPS".

Great place

Le Vatout is a well-situated bed and breakfast run by extremely friendly and helpful hosts. Dominka was obviously knowledgeable of the area around Waldoboro and gave us suggestions that lead to a wonderful and remarkable stay in midcoastal Maine. Furthermore, she was an excellent cook who was mindful of dietary needs and restrictions (not that we had any). She used fresh ingredients from her garden, of which she gave us a lovely tour. We had a wonderful stay and would go back in a heartbeat!
