Beautiful view

Gorgeous house with outstanding views. Rooms are very small compared to pictures. Home is fully stocked, beds are Uber comfortable. Not for older folks or people with disabilities. Lots of stairs and trail to get to house on rocky ledge. No central air or heat, no fire pit. We were very comfortable and fully enjoyed Boothbay. Lots of delicious seafood and great shopping, museums and art galleries. Would highly recommend.

Breathtaking view

The house is built in a perfect place. The photos of the view do not do it justice. We spent the majority of our time out on the deck enjoying the weather and the view. There is so much wildlife that you can view from the house, including seals and bald eagles. The house itself is well furnished and stocked. I travel frequently and book through VRBO the majority of the time and this house was better stocked and equipped than any house I have stayed in. It is also close to restaurants and the downtown area for daily excursions. I want to add that although the house lacks the modern amenities that most houses have including a HVAC, insulation, and updated bathrooms, staying in this house was wonderful! The weather was perfect so the rooms were cool to sleep in and the normal modern amenities were barely noticed in the "prairie house," as we termed it! :) You will not regret this house or the view and we highly recommend it. We hope to be back soon!

Summer vacation

We stayed here with 3 other couples in early June and had the best time. We loved getting up early and sitting on the deck or in front of the huge window enjoying the view. Seeing the lobster boats go in and out every day was great and we had the pleasure of meeting some of the owner’s family that were in town from the Netherlands (the aunt and uncles were in their 90’s!). They were able to tell us some of the history of the house and it’s contents which made it even more special for us. Thank you for sharing your fabulous house with us!!

Unique and charming cottage

The perfect quintessential Maine cottage in a breaktaking location. The house offers a lot of privacy and it was perfect for our two families with two babies. Access to a private beach in the neighborhood. From the deck you can watch the boats pass back and forth on the water. Peaceful, comfortable, relaxing. We are grateful for such a memorable stay!
