The Dome House | A One-of-a-Kind Waterfront Escape in Boothbay, Maine

Experience one of Maine's most unique vacation rentals at The Dome House, a stunning geodesic dome nestled on two private wooded acres overlooking the tranquil Back River in Boothbay. Combining architectural wonder, waterfront serenity, and unforgettable Midcoast Maine adventures, this dog-friendly retreat offers a stay unlike anywhere else.

Designed for travelers seeking something beyond the ordinary, this distinctive geodesic home is flooded with natural light through its soaring windows and curved architecture, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels connected to the surrounding landscape. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, a kayaking adventure, or a peaceful retreat with your four-legged companion, The Dome House delivers an unforgettable Maine experience.

Wake to sunrise views over the Back River and enjoy your morning coffee on the expansive waterfront deck. Spend your days exploring the beauty of the Boothbay Peninsula, launching a kayak from the nearby shared dock, hiking scenic coastal trails, or discovering the world-renowned Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens just minutes away. Nature lovers and photography enthusiasts will especially enjoy visiting the famous Giant Troll sculptures hidden throughout the gardens, a must-see attraction for visitors to Midcoast Maine.

After a day of exploration, return to the comfort of your private woodland retreat. Prepare fresh local seafood in the fully equipped kitchen, gather around the dining table for a family meal, or fire up the grill and enjoy dinner overlooking the saltwater tidal river. The property offers a unique opportunity to witness nature's constant transformation, from sparkling waterways to tranquil mudflats rich with life and beauty, there is a constant sound of running water where the little stream confluences at the property entrance. In the evening, stream your favorite shows, connect with loved ones using high-speed WiFi, or simply relax beneath Maine's star-filled skies.

The Dome House is perfectly situated for exploring some of Maine's most beloved destinations. Stroll through the breathtaking Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, play a round of golf at Boothbay Harbor Country Club, visit Pinkham's Gourmet Market – Where Fresh Seafood Meets Gourmet, shop and dine along Boothbay Harbor's waterfront, or take a scenic drive along Maine's iconic Route 1 to charming coastal villages and lighthouses. Winter visitors can experience the magical Gardens Aglow holiday light display, transforming the peninsula into a festive wonderland.

    this home is the last house on a dead end nestled deep into the woods in a Serene setting with a deck that overlooks and is steps from a small Inlet that offers you changing views as the tide rolls in and out the home which offers many views from all the windows. The home is located close to some very nice restaurants on the ocean and also very close to the famous Botanical Gardens of Boothbay . FIVE STAR GETAWAY

    We loved the riverside location, and our wildlife sightings included a bald eagle and heron. The home was comfortable, well appointed with directions on how to use the amenities. The artwork was lovely and contributed to the artsy design of the Dome home. We had a wonderful stay.

    Wonderful and interesting spot. Beautiful woods and river with a lovely deck to enjoy them. Artwork throughout the house. Helpful notes and instructions made finding things and using the house easy.

    Upon arriving I foolishly gave a 5 rating for cleanliness. However we found urine in the toilet- not flush-toilet paper cover on bathroom floor, urine stains on little hassock, no extra blankets, very little drinking water and when requested more we’re told no.

    IT was great being able to find a place for the one night we were in town that was so unique and convenient. Definitely a gem. We hope to visit again soon and possibly stay longer to enjoy its beauty.

    This place was amazing in every way! Make sure you set aside time to just be present and enjoy the seclusion! 3 Deer greeted us on the driveway on the way in and we saw them often. We came back midday for naps with our small children and came back to the water being in the inlet which was stunning and so peaceful to relax in a hammock overlooking the water. I would love to come back to this property if I visit Boothbay again! Location was also perfect! So close to so many attractions! We did a little of everything all about 5-20 minutes away.

    This cozy dome home at the end of the road was the perfect spot for our stay in Boothbay. We especially loved the light filled and spacious living room for gathering and games. Eating dinner on the deck was divine. It's close proximity to the botanical gardens was another bonus. We will definitely stay here again.

    The house was perfect for our little barkers because it was secluded and comfortable. The BRLT trails are great and so many within a 20 mi radius. Maine is already very dog friendly.

    We stayed in October when the trees were gorgeous and the dome house is nestled in a wooded area. So pretty! Lots of room for everyone. Wish we could have stayed longer.

    I hate to leave negative reviews at all but i wish i had been aware of some things. When we arrived inside smelt like a cat had sprayed. The main heating source was out of commission. The mini split in the bedroom would not work properly. We tinkered with it for quite some time and still coult not get it to work properly. There was animal fur all over the comforter, sheets, and pullow cases. My husband is allergic to dog and cat fur so this was a problem for us. We tried to contact the host with no response. Though the home is unique and cute with pretty views we were dissapointed.

    The house was so charming, clean, and comfortable. We couldn’t have found a better place to stay during our visit to the Boothbay area. The Dome House is off the beaten track, right on a tidal river, which made every day and every hour a new private view. Be sure to schedule time to simply be. This is the perfect house for it!
