Come enjoy the peaceful tranquility of this lakefront retreat just 5 minutes from the quaint seaside shops and restaurants of Boothbay Harbor or 8 minutes from the Botanical Gardens! The rental is a private, bright, spacious, separate apartment in the lower level of the home with its own entrance, tall 9-ft ceilings, and LOTS of windows and glass to see the beautiful water and sunsets from each room with heat and air conditioning. Enjoy star gazing, fishing, swimming, or choose out of our mixof tandom or single kayaks to explore the mile-long lake waters.

Walk out the French doors to the stone patio and grass, listen to the loons and the wind in the trees, watch the sun sparkle off the lake, or take the short path that leads down the hill to the private dock with swim ladder and take a dip, lay out on a towel in the sun, sit on Adirondack chairs on the lakeside deck, or perch on a wooden swing near the water's edge.

The large bedroom includes a queen-sized memory foam bed and a single daybed situated nicely to look out over the water. Other guests may choose the couch/chaise in the den with self serve hideaway queen size cool gel memory foam bed.

The unit has a small but nicely equipped kitchen with appliances including stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator w/freezer, coffee makers, steamer, instantpot and blender for your convenience along with some common spices.

Bathroom has dual sinks and tub/shower combination.

Enjoy a private entrance on the water side of the home, a space separated from owner’s part of the house by a locked door, heat and air conditioning on it's own Nest zone, and parking for 1 vehicle (or 2 if we have advanced notice and squish). WIFI, HD antenna, and a smart TV with Roku and DVD player included. Games and puzzles line the closet shelves to encourage an unplugged experience.

Property is located on a quiet dead-end road that leads to sidewalks into town. The beautiful oceanfront route to town takes only 5 minutes to drive in a car or about 20 if walking. This is a great starting location for exploring the rest of the Boothbay region as well! Take in area walking trails, choose an ocean boat tour to see picturesque islands and lighthouses, visit one of the area's rocky beaches, or see the nearby Botanical Gardens.

Whole house automatic backup generator assures very little chance of being without power.

The main part of the home is a part-time vacation retreat for the owners and the price of the rental is lower than market value which reflects the possibility that you may occasionally hear signs of life from the rest of the house, but don’t worry! Many of our great 5 star reviews were from weeks we were present. Welcome!

    Everything about our stay was fantastic. We really enjoyed the views, kayaking on the lake, seeing the stars, and listening to the loons. The location is perfect...close to the town, beaches, and trails, but also quietly secluded for that perfect peaceful getaway. The house was extremely clean, inviting, and comfortable. Wendy was a very generous and gracious host and made sure our stay was special. We can't wait to visit again

    Our third stay was just as charming as the first two. The beauty of the lake, the serene accommodations and locale cannot be topped. The apartment is so cozy and comfortable. We've stayed in many vacation rentals, but this is our favorite. We'll be back.

    We stayed at this lovely lake house near Boothbay Harbor. We had all we needed and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Kayaking on the lake and hearing the loons in the morning made our trip. Quaint downtown Boothbay Harbor is also less than a 10 minute drive. The hosts were also terrific!

    Absolutely beautiful, peaceful property. The loons serenaded us every night! Everything you could possibly need is there. Great location, 7 minutes to Maine Botanical Garden, mile to Boothbay Harbor. Perfect place to quiet water kayak. I'll definitely be back.

    If you plan to visit Boothbay Harbor, you won't find a better place! The lakefront property is very close to town but offers a quiet location in a private neighborhood. Beautiful and bright interior in a natural setting. One of the best places I've stayed at. Great for kayaking and fishing too!

    We absolutely loved staying at this peaceful waterfront property. The interior was spacious, very clean and our host provided everything that we could possibly need. This property has such a homey feel to it. It is a real gem and a lovely home away from home.

    This is our second stay at Wendy and Jim’s place. Once again it didn’t disappoint. The place is beautiful, quiet, and has everything you need. We enjoyed as much time by the water as we could taking in the Eagles, loons and the occasional seagull communal bath!! It’s so close to town that one could probably walk if they were energetic, but that’s not us. Once again my sister and her fiancé joined us for a few days because they also love it there. Would highly recommend for those that want a relaxing stay. Wendy and Jim are awesome to deal with.

    Wendy's place was serene, and immaculate! Every one of us enjoyed this place. From the kayaks to the fishing or just enjoying the peacefulness from sunup to sundown this place was wonderful! The cottage was so cute and quaint with beautiful decor, the shower felt like a massage! Wendy was so kind and accommodating. The amenities of this place exceeded our expectations. We will definitely return to visit, and definitely recommend to others as well! Five star everything!

    This was our second stay and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in Boothbay. The apartment is spacious, charming, and well equipped. We loved sitting by the lake watching the birds, and kayaking using the ones provided. In Boothbay our favorites were Cabbage Island Clambake, the wonderful two story bookstore with every kind of book plus toys and games, Mung Bean, an artisan's collective, and eating at the waterfront restaurants. I can't recommend Wendy's place any more highly. Plus, she is super nice and friendly!

    Apartment is not how I would describe our place. We felt like we were in our own little sanctuary. Wendy has done wonders with the downstairs of her house. Spending the morning drinking coffee while looking out the French doors to the lake was so peaceful. The huge bathroom with double sinks worked out well when my sister joined us. We spent hours by the water enjoying the wildlife. The place was supplied with everything we needed and showed a lot of special touches that Wendy has put into the place. We are already planning to book again.
