Classic Waterfront Cottage with Private Fishing & boat dock - Boothbay Harbor

Spectacular views; good location; private but close; somewhat rustic but more than adequate accommodations; congenial, welcoming and accommodating host. Path from parking down to cabin is challenging with luggage, so pack light. Not for the mobility-challenged.

Presented accurately. Enjoyed surrounding area.

We enjoyed our stay at Doug and Wendy’s cottage very much. What a treasure! So many front row seats to the great view. We loved the special touches: a laundry basket (!), all the little details like the spices and plenty of plates glasses cups. The whole house was immaculate and our hosts were very accommodating. The cottage can be a very relaxing homey place to stay, and also has plenty of things nearby to do see hike sit eat! We would love to come back someday.

Our family stayed at the cabin for a week and loved every minute of it!!! The cabin was clean and comfortable with an amazing view of the Damariscotta River. The home is well designed with the MBR on one end and the other bedrooms/bathroom on the opposite end to ensure privacy. The water facing side of the cabin is literally a wall of windows that provides an extraordinary view. The dock is new and gives you easy access for boating. It’s a short drive to downtown Boothbay or a short walk to the East Boothbay General Store where you can get great pastries and sandwiches. Doug was a fantastic host every step of the way and checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a place to experience the charm of Boothbay, this cabin would be a good choice!!!

We had a very relaxing week at this property. The location was quiet and peaceful, views were beautiful from the large, nearly full-wall windows on the river side of the cabin. Great views from the dining area, family room and full-length enclosed porch. The side deck was terrific to just sit and enjoy the days. Our nearly blind retriever mix had a little trouble navigating the slight hill from the car to the house but she learned the routine in a day or two The property owner is wonderful to work with and was very helpful with arrangements. This one is certainly worth a LONG look - and a LONG stay:-)

This cottage has an extremely beautiful setting with gardens and a water view across the entire back of the cottage. The cottage was spotless and well layed out. Doug supplied us with all the information we needed. There were plenty of restaurants nearby. Our favorite place for take-out was the East Boothbay General Store. They have the best sandwiches I have ever had. Farm 23 Bakery is a must for fresh bread and pastries. They also make awesome soup. You definitely cannot go wrong staying here.

My husband and I stayed at this property with our adult daughter. We absolutely loved it here. The sunrise is the most beautiful I have seen. The house itself is wonderfully outfitted with everything you need as a home away from home. The location is great, close to the harbor, stores and restaurants. The owner Doug Gardner was wonderful, gave easy instructions for check in and a nice welcome gift. Love this property and look forward to staying there again.

We chose the location of Boothbay because it is the ideal smaller & very quaint Maine harbor village & is centrally located to the sites we wanted to explore. And we are so glad we found this particular cottage! It was perfect- location, size, amenities, cleanliness, everything! We were two couples plus our older dog. The house is ideally split so each couple had their privacy & we could meet in the middle general living areas which included two of the coziest sun porches overlooking the rocky shoreline. The cottage is on a lobster fishing harbor which was so very fun to watch lobstermen checking their traps. I particularly liked this harbor front cottage in order to experience the tides coming in & out twice daily- so mesmerizing. We even saw seals, loons, & an eagle! The furniture was all very cozy & comfy, including the beds & linens. I must also mention how much we appreciated the attentiveness of our host Doug. He & Wendy were great! We would absolutely return to this wonderful cottage- it offers THE total Maine experience! We loved every minute of our stay - it truly is a “peaceful retreat!”

What a great cabin to stay and spend time on the coast. The home is very comfortable, well appointed and the community is very friendly. This place is a keeper!

This is a beautiful property right on the water. Quintessential Maine home with a most congenial host. Very well equipped and central to many Maine attractions. Both couples in our group loved it. A very comfortable master suite at one end and a family suite at the other end. In the middle is lots of living space and lots of windows overlooking the water. We highly recommend this home.
