New furniture was super comfortable. Very clean & loved the local artwork in the home. Location is close enough to town that everything is within 15 minutes. Great time in Maine!
Private; laid back atmosphere
It was so quiet and peaceful. The home was perfect and the back deck made it even better!
The property was lovely. At the end of a quiet road, overlooking the water, the dome house was a lovely. It was an excellent home base to enjoy booth bay. Also being minutes from the botanical garden was awesome, we ended up going twice.
Sitting on the deck watching the tide go in and out, breathing in the forest and the sea, cooking meals in the open kitchen, playing games in the den on rainy days, walking the dog on Tamarack trail, kayaking around the islands, walking to the general store on Hogdon island, chatting with the neighbors…..
The house was very clean and quiet at the end of a dirt road. It overlooked a tidal inlet off of the river. We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water. The house was close to town, groceries etc. There were neighbors across the inlet but they were quiet. The beds were comfortable. I would enjoy staying there again.
Close to little shops and restraunts.A few minutes away from grocery store . Right on the water . Quiet private and well stocked . Plenty of info on house and surrounding area in book in house . Everything we needed and more .
Loved our secluded little river house. Boothbay was beautiful and we hope to come back again. You'll get the title if you visited the botanical garden
Property was outstanding, clean , well equipped a great find. Only little feedback would be that older renters would appreciate access to “normal” TV
House was cute and cozy! Loved the deck by the water and that we weren’t surrounded by neighbors. Nice private location.
Beautiful cabin in great location! Overall we loved our stay here, we chose this as a central location, so we could travel around Maine but we really enjoyed Boothbay Harbor too which had great restaurant and Shoppes. The cabin is very secluded and had beautiful view of the water. The only complaint I would have was the linens bedding and towels) could have been nicer. The mattress was a little uncomfortable. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely book the dome house again..
Thank God we brought our own toilet paper, I guess one role should last for 4 nights/5 days? Floor was dirty alone with dog drool all over the sliding glass door, dog hair and on the cough/pillows! The deck was filthy. And by the way we cover the cough with a sheet for our dog!!! No instruction for heat/AC! The water looked great when the tide was in, looked real gross when it was out! The cleaning charge should be credited, my 10-year-old grandson son could have done a better job! . Will never use VRBO again and definitely never stay at the Dome House again!!!
Simply just sitting out on the porch is beyond relaxing and peaceful.. never mind the views and wildlife! Our dog Oakley also enjoyed his stay and loved wandering the woods! We also visited Botanical Gardens, did some Lazy Jack Sailing, Barrett Park, and lots of restaurants, ice cream and cute gift shops! We WILL be back for sure!
We had a great time while visiting Maine and this home is great for relaxing and taking in the views. Very private and comfortable with a touch of quirkiness. We hope to we can visit again in 2023.
We really enjoyed the sense of calm and beauty at this cottage by the cove. The deck had a great view, the trees were lovely and provided shade, and the surrounding area was conducive to R&R. We also thought the mattresses were super-comfortable. Thank you!
It was a beautiful spot. Very quiet. Nice view of the river.
The house was sparkling clean and very comfortable for two people and a small dog. The setting is ideal: deep woods and ocean on your own cove. The water (when the tide is in) is even closer than it looks in the pictures. We met very friendly neighbors on our daily walks and enjoyed swimming and kayaking from the community dock. The kitchen was very well equipped and we enjoyed eating our meals on the beautiful deck. We slept extremely well and look forward to our next stay!
House was in a great location by a tidal creek. Quiet and quaint. Perfect for us. Very close to the Botanical Gardens.
The Dome House was a perfect hideaway. Clean, spacious and a lovely setting.
