The perfect retreat for couples—and full of New England charm—this crow’s nest hideaway has just enough room for 2, plus a private, romantic deck with lush treetop vistas in summer and ocean views in winter. Easily walk to downtown Boothbay from here.
ABOUT THE APARTMENT
A private deck welcomes you to your third-floor treetop escape. Spend mornings together sipping coffee at the table for 2 while looking out at the ocean or lush green landscape. A gas grill lets you enjoy casual alfresco meals during warmer months.
Inside, a warm wood interior lends the kitchen and dining area all the quaint charm you’d expect of a secluded New England getaway. Pick up fresh seafood downtown, then prepare dinner in a fully appointed galley-style kitchen where a skylight lets in a flood of natural light. The adjacent dining space seats 4 at a round wooden table.
The rustic theme continues into the king-size bedroom where artwork lines the walls and Victorian-style curtains add a touch of whimsy. The attached bath echoes the home’s historic character with a clawfoot tub, and also has a standing shower, vanity and dresser for storage.
Spend evenings in curling up on the sofa in the nautical-themed living area that channels the maritime setting of Boothbay. Here, a large picture window overlooks the trees and a comfortable sofa faces the 36” flat screen TV. Tuck into a novel in the reading corner with two plush armchairs.
THE LOCATION
Nestled above the landscape, your rental will feel like its own private getaway, but you’ll benefit from staying within walking distance of downtown Boothbay Harbor.
Walk down to Commercial Street, just a 5-minute stroll, and choose from whale watching with Cap'n Fish, a harbor cruise with Balmy Days or an adventure of a lifetime aboard the Schooner Eastwind.
When all that fresh sea air’s whetted your appetite, head back to shore and take your pick. Locals recommend lobster rolls at Shannon’s, or there’s tapas and wine at the Boathouse Bistro and great coffee at the Red Cup Coffee House. Ports of Italy, an Italian and seafood restaurant heralded as one of Boothbay’s best and most romantic eateries, is just a 6-minute walk away.
Explore the outdoors together and check out the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, 8 minutes away by car, as well as the many nature preserves in the area.
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.
Spend some time with your special someone and experience the charm of this crows’ nest getaway in an unbeatable Boothbay Harbor location.

To those who may have a hard time with steps, this one may not be for you! Third floor steps and the hill back from town is also a steep track. Bring your own coffee too!! A coffee pot is available, but no coffee grounds or tea. The location is amazing - we walked everywhere. Very cute town during the holidays!
Very rustic but very cozy! Bed is great
Excellent place to stay so Long as you do not mind stairs to get to tree top. Very comfortable! Wall to town was great just a few blocks. We had a wonderful time!!!
Within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. You’re not able to see the water from the deck, at least not while there are leaves still on the trees. I liked that we were asked to remove our shoes while in the house, makes me feel like it’s cleaner than most places. The AC unit was loud and in the way in the living room, luckily we weren’t there to watch TV so it didn’t make a big difference; shut it off while we had the TV on. They had plenty of dishes, pots, pans, utensils etc. (bring a corkscrew if you plan on having wine though, we looked everywhere an didn’t spot one! lol) We’d consider another place in the area just because of the 47 stairs (not exaggerating, I counted them) to get up to the apartment. I don’t know that we’d find a place better for the price though. Overall we were comfortable and had a nice time in this quaint little town.
Adorable place. Great location. Steps are tough, not for the weak of heart lol! Apartment is hard to cool down, but a/c did work well in the 2 rooms they are in. Didn’t use the living room due to the poor condition of the couch-needs to be replaced for sure. Two smoke detectors were sitting on the kitchen counter when we arrived and two empty spots were noted on the ceiling where they should have been. Other minor repairs were needed as well, but overall could not beat the space and location!
Very clean. Stairs can be a bit much.
Stairs were tough. Got easier each time. Older with bad knees would be an issue. A little dark inside. Great deck. Great location. Full fridge for Maine Beers. Highly recommend, would stay again.
Loved the place, the only thing is how many flights of stairs to get there. So if you older or have problem with stairs I won’t recommend it
Excellent location and accommodation. The Crow’s Nest is spacious, clean and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Be prepared for lots of steps to get to the apartment, but the privacy and view is nice. Would absolutely recommend and stay again! Thank you!
We had a nice visit in Boothbay and loved the location and quiet neighborhood. Lots of room in our cozy loft and well appointed. Highly recommended!
Very quaint and quiet but just a 5 minute walk to all excitement. I will go back again. I took this time for a time out for relaxation and ocean breeze. Accomplished. Stars gazing at night sitting on the deck. So peaceful.
