The Coal Shack: Pet-Friendly Harborfront Studio in Downtown Boothbay

The Coal Shack

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Situated in the heart downtown of Boothbay Harbor, our 1-bed studio harborfront apartment - The Coal Shack - is walking distance to independent shops, restaurants and boat cruise tours. Stroll outside your front door to Pier 1 and Pier 8 to book whale watching tours, or arrange day trips to the sleepy and sparsely populated Monhegan Island.

Our newly renovated studio is warmly furnished with timber walls, copper fixtures and rustic furnishings. With one bed and a sofa sleeper, this apartment sleeps two adults and one small child. Our property is ultra pet-friendly. Need somewhere to take your furry friend? Grab your leash, and enjoy the convenience of a grassy park just outside of the front door. Or head to the off-leash trails, which are just a short drive away. Stop into nearby Two Salty Dogs store and grab a treat for your fur baby!

INSIDE THE HOUSE

Timber flooring and walls bring a cozy-yet-updated vibe to this newly renovated 1-bed studio apartment. Unwind in the living area, which has a sleeper sofa, leather swivel chair and flat screen TV.

Double French doors open out to a small mahogany deck with incredible views of Boothbay Harbor. Grab a seat in a padded club chair and watch fishing boats and yachts glide across the water.

A well-equipped kitchen features stunning Brazillian Blue Granite countertops, copper fixtures and contemporary digital appliances including a built-in microwave, dishwasher, convection steam oven, induction stove, Magic Bullet, and Keurig machine for brewing up morning coffees.

After a day of whale watching or shopping around downtown, take a hot soak in a the gorgeous river rock shower. When you’re ready to slumber, head to your relaxing master bedroom where a brand new queen bed awaits.

THE LOCATION

Located in the heart of Downtown Boothbay Harbor, our 1-bed studio is just a block away from the waterfront - with on site parking - putting you within walking distance of fishing, boating and sailing tours. Your four-legged friend will enjoy miles of dog-friendly hiking trails.

Book whale watching trips with Cap'n Fish and go in search of minke and humpback whales surfacing along the Maine coastline. Or head to Schooner Eastwind and enjoy tours around the Burnt and Ram island lighthouses. Take part in Cabbage Island lobster bakes, and enjoy some locally caught oysters on the half shell!

Our central location is also just a short stroll from local shops, independent home decor stores and fabulous restaurants. For traditional Italian classics, walk next door to Ports of Italy or a short walk to Harborside Tavern for a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can also indulge on specialty foods at Eventide (located right across the street), buy a special treat for your furry friend at Two Salty Dogs Pet Outfitters, and visit Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, which hosts Garden's Aglow and Festival of Lights in Boothbay Harbor.

Winter nights are aglow at Boothbay's Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens! Maine's largest light display just got even larger, with over 360,000 (and counting!) LED lights illuminating the central gardens and buildings and drawing festive crowds from all over.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the nightly pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting "Yes" to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The nightly fee ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Lovely Pet Friendly Location
This charming unit is clean, and thoughtfully equipped including laundry detergent for the washer/dryer, a comfortable bed with additional cozy blankets, lots of wonderful bath towels, board games, and all that you would need to cook in the functional, delightful kitchen. It also has a Cuisenart coffee maker and fully equipped bar minus the libation :-) Finally, it genuinely caters to and cares about pets by providing pet bowls, dog treats and an emergency vet number. Thank you Two Salty Dogs!

Winter in Boothbay at the Coal Shack
We took a quick winter getaway to freezing Boothbay. This little studio apartment on the second floor was a perfect cozy spot. It is nicely decorated, very rustic style and comfortable. Everything we needed for our stay was available, easy to find and nicely organized. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, in-town place to stay, summer or winter.
