The house was in a great location and very well equipped. Really cute!
This was our first family vacation and the cottage was a perfect stay. The perfect amount of room for us and it allowed my baby to crawl all around. It was nice being semi secluded but close enough to downtown, would definitely come back!
Highly recommended! We didn’t have a great experience with another local rental and had to book this stay last minute and couldn’t have been a better spot. Had everything you needed in a rental. Would definitely stay here again.
The cabin was well-appointed and clean, except for the amount of carpenter ants. Other than dodging the ants, we had a lovely stay at the cabin. My only issue with the rental service, Vacasa, is that they are very heavy on the communications side, with far too many pre-trip texts and emails. It made the whole thing feel very automated.
We booked the place in question and due to a forecast Noreaster, tried to move it ahead one week as it was not booked for the entire month of March. We were told that was impossible so we struggled through the snow and got there from Cooperstown NY. When we got there at 4 PM the driveway was not plowed and the property was inaccessible with 14 of new snow. I am 78 years old and shoveled most of the driveway and the 2' of plow debris on the road so we could get into the rental. The agency texted to ask the condition of the property and we let them know our feelings after they called for a snow plow that never showed. We feel the property owners should know how uncaring the managing company was and we will file a complaint with the Maine Department of Consumer Protection. We would like a refund of the monies the managingcompany in Portland Oregon banked at our expense......JoLaunt and Steve Shauger who would never recommend this property to anyone.
The cottage was perfect for us 3 plus invited our NAVY daughter for Thanksgiving. We did bring some of our own pots and pans but this Cottage has it all, we would have been good. The kitchen was perfect and the bedrooms too. We were concerned about 1 bathroom but it worked out perfectly. There was no vacuum cleaner and I am OCD so that would be the only thing I missed. Thanks for a perfect 5 day stay comfrotably.
This is a beautiful and quiet place to stay!! We enjoyed our time here very much. It feels remote but it’s very close to town and water views. It looks like a cozy Maine cabin inside, but it’s been fully renovated with modern furnishings and a very well-equipped kitchen. When we return to this area, this would be our top lodging choice next time.
This little cottage was very clean, comfy and well stocked. It was in a great location, very close to town.
We had a wonderful time at the property and enjoyed our stay. Overall the place seemed clean. Could use a serious dusting. Little hard to find sometimes with some of the winding roads in Boothbay, but overall a great stay.
The cabin was nice and comfortable, and location was not too far out of town which was nice as well. Our only complaint is the garbage receptacles and service. We arrived Friday evening to find an animal had gotten into the garbage containers from the previous renters. We picked it up and tried to secure the receptacles. Overnight something again got into the garbage and it was all over the ground. We contacted Vacasa and they said someone would be over shortly. We left for the day and returned around 9pm, and the garbage had not been picked up. I texted the service again and was told that the garbage was on a weekly service, but did not state what day. We only stayed Friday to Sunday and did not accumulate much garbage at all as we ate out of the house for all meals. My suggestion to the owner or manager of the property would be to have an animal proof box to put the garbage bins in to avoid this issue so the renters are not responsible to clean up the mess of the previous renters.
Our stay in Boothbay Harbor was wonderful in part because of our stay in your home! It included all amenities we needed and was very clean and well organized. Thank you!
Excellent place to stay. We enjoyed our few days in Boothbay. Highly recommend this place to stay.
Overall, peaceful and good. The lighting system should have tags on all the switches. The hot water was lukewarm. It could use side tables for a drink or plate by the sofa. Enjoyed being very close to downtown but not in it.
