Elegant Boothbay Waterfront Estate-15 acres/Gardens, Trails, Wildlife

Great rental! Melissa was attentive to our needs and was a very personable host

Our home was lovely. Kitchen was huge and well stocked for our family of 8 adults. The home is well loved by the owner and you can tell by the care taken of the property. The great room had a fantastic view of the river behind. There were plenty of activities on the property and it was an easy drive to Boothbay for other activities.There was a lot of seating both inside and outside we enjoyed a nice view with our morning coffee on the deck. Hammocks were comfy and the peaceful nature around us was a breath of fresh air. Our family took advantage of the walking paths on the property and the owner gave us many other options around Boothbay.

Wonderful spot right on a river and 10 minutes outside Boothbay Harbor. Beautiful setting and great house.

Our group of 8 (three generations of family) spent a wonderful week on this bucolic property.The beautiful farmhouse was clean and well furnished and looked exactly as it was represented in the photos. Bedding and towels were plentiful and clean. The house included everything we could possibly need -- if you can think of it, it was available, from laundry detergent to Tupperware to plenty of hangers to spices. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. The area was quiet except for the sweet sounds of birds and frogs from the picturesque pond on the property. The kayaks were great and made for a fabulous adventure. We loved hanging out in nearby Boothbay Harbor. It is obvious that Melissa loves this place!

Super location. Lots of room to spread out in house. Very unique and quirky resident that made us feel instantly at home. Beautiful property with so much to do and so much space for kids to run and play. Perfect for bike rides and runs and water fun. Super close to town. Owner extremely helpful with a wealth of knowledge and recommendations for fun in the area.

We had a delightful stay at this home! Melissa was a gracious host and greeted us to review the grounds and property! She kept in constant communication throughout our week and gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and activities. My children and grandchildren enjoyed using the kayaks. The setting was peaceful and quiet. The house was equipped with anything you might need! The layout worked perfectly for our multigenerational family. I would definitely recommend!

Melissa is a superb host and took the time to walk us through everything about the house and the area. Great spot with beautiful views and the great room is truly a great place for everyone to gather. It also helped that the weather cooperated for almost the entire week. Highly recommend.

My father , who will be 90 soon, grew up visiting his cousins in Maine. He wanted the whole family to go again and stay in one big house! There were 12 of us and one, my mother, is physically disabled and can’t do stairs. This house worked perfectly for us! There was a handicapped accessible bedroom and bathroom on the first floor and lots of space to gather in. We were able to have all 12 people eat meals together at the huge dining table. The grounds are beautiful and there are several kayaks you can borrow. There is a view of the river from the back deck and we saw deer and a groundhog out back! It is very peaceful and secluded, but still not far from town. Melissa was great to work with and very communicative! We would definitely stay there again!

Three generations stayed with 4 grandchildren ranging in age from 3 - 11. The grandchildren were immediately enthralled with the collection of stuffed animals, games, musical instruments and interesting artifacts in the library and the TV room. They nicknamed the house, the rainbow house because of the vivid colors in each bedroom. It was perfect for us having 5 bedrooms and each bedroom having its own bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped and the grounds are a pleasure to stroll around and explore. Unfortunately due to Covid we were not permitted to entertain other members of our family, not staying at the house, but it would be perfect for a large gathering with a fabulous fire pit and lots of space. My husband and I used the kayaks the first morning and enjoyed going out, but the access is tricky for young children. We have stayed in Boothbay Harbor over many years, so this was a different location for us, but very easy to get into Boothbay Harbor and also convenient to the playground and The Maine Coastal Gardens. I would highly recommend it as a place to stay for a large group.

Beautifully decorated home in beautiful setting. Everyone enjoyed their stay.
