Amazing property and home

We loved everything about it - the home was so eclectic, warm and charming! The location was perfect for a walk to town or short drive to nearby attractions. The dock was perfect for fishing and even our furbaby loved the views from the house to the upper deck and docks! Karen and Alden have it mastered!

Perfect location and house

This is a great property with great location for walking into town. The kayaks and fishing poles were great for the kids. They loved exploring cove and old sunken ships! This house made our family a lot of memories. Karen also is a great host meeting us at house and giving us a walkthrough and even a cake for my wife’s and mother in law birthday!

Although the weather was less than perfect with hurricane lee heading our way, there was plenty to do. It's a short walk to town and the property itself has everything you could.want or need.

Fabulous

Karen and Alden are the quintessential Maine hosts. They are both very pleasant, very informative, and very proud of their lovely home in the cove. The accommodations were perfect for our group of 6 and there was plenty of room for more people. Everything was neat and clean inside. The gardens were beautiful outside and the walk into Booth Bay Harbor was easy and convenient. It was a very memorable stay for our family and will look forward to staying at Mill Cove again in the future!

Maine living at its best!

The home, the views and the gardens are simply gorgeous. The house is bright, colorful and full of warmth, and it's incredibly well equipped too! It's a home not a house or a "rental." Alden and Karen, the owners, are generous, kind and helpful people, and we are so fortunate to have met them. Ask about cleaning services for multiple rental weeks - they were great and I always had fresh cut flowers left for me in vases. It was the perfect summer vacation and the perfect summer home. We hope to come back every year!

An amazing home in beautiful Boothbay Harbor!

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay in this amazing home. We were celebrating my mother's 91st birthday and my sister's 70th birthday. Karen and Alden even gave my sister a birthday card and beautiful flowers. The kitchen was incredible and all herbs and spices were provided. Karen baked us a delicious blueberry cake. We had crab meat rolls and lobster on the dock in the water - simply unforgettable. We can highly recommend this property and we we definitely return some day. Thank you Karen and Alden.

Better than a 5 Star Hotel

What a wonderful home. The host greeted us, showed us around & left us a homemade blueberry cake & bottle of wine. Communication with her was very easy. The whole home is spacious & comfortable - my husband said the kitchen was the best part of the trip...not the best part of the house, but of the whole vacation! It is a chef's kitchen, stocked with everything (really, everything!) you need. And the dock & sea kayaks were great. The location is terrific - on the harbor with a short walk into town. As an aside, one of our party fell at Ocean Point - we needed to go to the Urgent Care at St Andrew's & they were wonderful. I would absolutely recommend booking this home for your next trip to Boothbay!

Had a great time at Mill Cove. Our first vacation since 2019 with our Luna (Husky) that we got right before covid. My husband and I enjoyed having all 3 kids with their husbands and girlfriend along with our little grandson who just turned 1. What a great spot and close to town where we walked alot! Just hanging by the fire pit at night was perfect! The hosts couldn't have been nicer. Thank you for letting our family enjoy your home!

Incredible Stay!

This property was amazing. It was clean, beautifully decorated, and the hosts added so many thoughtful touches. The kitchen was fully equipped. There were plenty of linens. The beds were comfortable. The close proximity to town meant we didn’t have to worry about crowded downtown parking in Boothbay Harbor, but the space was secluded enough for privacy and quiet. Karen and Alden were quick to respond when we needed them and gave us a good run-down on how everything worked in their home at check-in. I can’t recommend this property enough!

Slice of Heaven

My family and I stayed at this home in August and had a wonderful relaxing vacation. The house is situated in an amazing location with easy access to town and a wonderful view of Boothbay Harbor. The grounds of the home are absolutely gorgeous as Alden and Karen are master Dahlia growers. The home was also super well stocked. We cooked at home a couple of nights and everything you could need was right there. This was one of the most well stocked rentals we have ever rented. With any luck, we will return again next summer.

Great Mix of Quiet, Comfort and Location

We had a rough start to our holiday, but upon arriving we realized that the place had the perfect mix of what we want from a holiday return. Great spot with lots of garden space, right on the water, and lots of natural light. The kitchen definitely enhances the art of cooking away from home. Good layout. We could talk to each other when cooking as when we stay at a studio apartment. The location gives the person staying here enough distance from downtown to enjoy quiet and deck relaxing, but close enough to allow for a short walk to Boothbay Harbour. The hosts have a good taste for design; you will really like staying here.

Incredible

Our stay at Mill Cove could not have been better. This is an unbelievably beautiful and special property. Everything here is just fantastic - from the huge kitchen, to the luxurious rain shower, to the eclectically-decorated living spaces, to the views out every window facing the water, from sunrise to sunset. The convenience of being able to just walk downtown from the home was so wonderful. Everything was impeccably clean. Karen is a joy and could not have been a more gracious host. We were comfortable in every possible aspect here. I think this is the best vacation rental that I've ever stayed at and I cannot wait to return here soon.

Words Fail….

After reading the reviews for this home and booking it for our family vacation, our expectations were quite high. And I have to say they were most definitely exceeded! This home and property are everything others have said. The home is beautifully decorated with wonderfully appointed living spaces, the gardens are spectacular, the views stunning, and the location unbeatable! There is a lovely outdoor sitting space for every occasion and weather type. We made it a goal to sit in every one at some point during our stay! Karen and Alden were simply lovely, and it’s quite clear they take a great deal of pride in their home and their town. An exceptional experience!!!!

Great spot!

We had a great time staying at your home. The location is fantastic given its right on the harbor with a dock along with being a short walk to town. When in the house you don't hear much traffic noise. Even on the deck and out on the dock you don't hear much either. The home's eclectic decor is very interesting and fun. There is plenty of room in the well-equipped kitchen that also has a great view that you can enjoy while preparing meals. Eating at the large table surrounded by glass or on the deck provides great views. Having the ability to use the 3 kayaks while there was nice and allowed us to explore the harbors. The owners were very responsive at check-in and came to greet us when we checked in. They even dropped off fixings for smores to use at the firepit! All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Outstanding Vacation!

Well, this was year 2 of what has become an annual vacation to Boothbay Harbor. This is the second year we have stayed in this amazing home and we plan to return next year. Karen and Alden make this place special by providing those touches that make it feel like a home and not just a house. Where do I begin: The welcome wine and S'more fixings and plenty of dry firewood for the waterfront firepit! The fully stocked kitchen for any level of cheffing! Plenty of linens, pillows and blankets! Unbelievably beautiful gardens and grounds! Kayaks! The 5 minute walk to downtown. Gorgeous sunsets and sunrises over the cove! The list goes on. I have stayed in a lot of houses over the years through VRBO, Homeaway and Airbnb, but the home created by Karen and Alden holds a special place for me and my family. The weather was perfect, the house was perfect, the hosts are perfect. What more could we ask for? See you next year!
