Cottage holiday rentals in Boothbay Harbor

We had a great two nights here and enjoyed the hot soak and the sauna. It was near many amenities and also felt very removed. Matt’s was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our stay was perfect and the escape we hoped it would be.

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

great stay for a relaxing weekend trip. perfect house for chilling but still drivable to Acadia. well stocked on the essentials, linens, and stunning views! host very responsive as well.

Great clean air bnb. Accurately as described.. looks good in photos but even better in-person. Bed was comfortable. Would rent their properties again.

Perfect for what we needed for a weekend getaway. So peaceful and a lot of interesting wildlife. We saw so many different types of birds! The hot tub is spacious and easy to use.

We’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs across the country and I’m not exaggerating when I say that Lydia’s place was one of the cleanest and most well-maintained homes that we’ve been in. The property and scenery are breathtaking. The numbers of birds and chipmunks that entertained us while we sat on the back deck was surprising. We ate all of our meals with the exception of lunches at the cabin and had everything we needed to prep and cook our food. This trip was all about relaxing and Lydia’s home was everything we needed.

Camille’s place is fantastic! Great location and it’s so clean and well decorated. Camille is so fast to communicate and is very accommodating. We’ve stayed many times and look forward to returning again.

The cottage is spotless, well-stocked and conveniently located for day trips in any direction. This is our 4th year staying at this lovely cottage for a pre-holidays getaway. We look forward to keeping this annual tradition!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!!!

Beautiful spot for us and our dog. Very close to everything and easily walkable. The trail up the road was a huge plus. Only small thing we ran into was a couple of folks in the neighborhood had dogs off their leashes and they were a bit aggressive running up to us walking our leashed dog. Nothing happened luckily. Not the owners fault. Highly recommend and would totally come back! Thanks David and Ginny!

We had a fantastic time at this cute and cozy cottage! It’s within 15 minutes of basically anything in the Portland area and the cottage itself is so charming and inviting. We only wish we had planned to stay here longer!

micheles place was incredibly well stocked with helpful and cute amenities and convenience items! the view and accessibility to the beach is incredible. Michele was very welcoming and we appreciated all of the recommendations she provided. the guest house is quite small but met my and my husband's needs for a quick getaway. thank you for your hospitality!

Beatiful cabin on the water, thoughtfully decorated. I loved the layout, plenty of seating areas and lovely decor. There is only one small bathroom which may be an issue with more than 2 or 3 guests, but worked out perfectly for us. We saw deer twice when driving down the trail to the house which was exciting! Loved using the firepit outside. The only bummer was that the dock wasn’t in the water yet. I still managed to use the kayak but would not advise attempting without the dock lol. Wonderful host, David was very responsive and had a nice bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival. Would 100% come back

Popham beach stay was great! We enjoyed the easy access to the beach and long walks twice a day. The house itself is very roomy with lots of space for everyone. Good heating and comfortable furniture. The tapwater is very rusty so be prepared but drinking water is provided. The floors are unfinished wood so you’ll need shoes to avoid splinters but overall, it’s a very comfortable place in a great location!

We had such a great time staying at Emily's awesome retreat. It was our first mini-vacation with our dog and we were looking for some peaceful, wide open space to let her roam free. We absolutely got that with this home and thoroughly enjoyed the town, as well. Emily was super responsive whenever we did have a question and provided us with a great list of places to check out around town. Would absolutely stay again. Thanks!

We had an amazing stay at Jason’s place despite a (mostly) rainy Memorial Day weekend! We still found plenty to do including inside the Airbnb, outside at the pond, and locally at all of the great restaurants/breweries/nature around. We also made it out to Acadia two of our days. I will say, the trip took longer than advertised (about an hour to get to the edge of the park), but was a pleasant enough ride. We also had our two dogs staying with us and we all felt right at home! Jason was a very responsive and helpful host as well - you can’t go wrong with this peaceful retreat on the pond!

Cottage was in a perfect location and very private and peaceful. Driving distance to a lot of nice towns and restaurants. Cottage was quaint, clean and had all the essentials. I loved the PDF they supplied before the visit with very clear instructions for check in, check out and parking. They had a ton of recommendations for things to do and places to eat at! We will be back!

I stayed at Liz and Alex’s stunning place at the beginning of September. This was either my 3rd or 4th time and I love being there. The quiet and the utter peacefulness of being literally on the banks of the estuarial river is amazing. Although I was only able to be there for 2 nights this time, I was recharged and ready to go back home when I left. On other visits I’ve taken advantage of being near the delightful town of Damariscotta, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Hidden Valley Nature Preserve, Muscongus Bay Lobster dock, the Audubon preserve in Bremen, and so many others. On this visit I stayed put, letting the inward and outward flow of the river soothe me while I read and wrote. On this visit I also had a nice long chat with Liz, a remarkably talented woman. See her book and ask about her films when you go.

Wonderful experience, great location and Dave communicated very quickly. Gave us several suggestions of things to do and places to eat. We’ll definitely be back and rent from Dave again

A really enjoyable stay at this nice house in a peaceful location. House had everything we needed and provided a great base from which to explore the Bristol (and wider) area - a good location for walking and coastal visits! Susan and Steve were very helpful, as was their welcome booklet detailing local attractions, walks, restaurants etc. Would definitely recommend.

Very quiet and cozy area to spend our holiday weekend! Plenty of space for the family to hang out and play games, and a kitchen we were able to cook in almost every meal! It was a very comfortable and clean home that we were grateful to get to enjoy on vacation. Not every day we Michiganders can find a place as beautiful as here at home to spend time away, but this cottage and the aesthetic in southwest Maine in general is a place that certainly measures up!

Our time with Jeff was exactly what we needed. My high school daughter and I came up to Maine for a few days to visits college and enjoy some hiking and local food. Cottage #6 was a great, centralized place for it! Like others have mentioned, the lofted bed area is for those who can handle a low-ceiling--turned out perfect for my daughter. The kitchen is modestly furnished with dishes, utensils, and appliances, but we were never in want of anything. The bedroom double-functions as the living room, so if you might look elsewhere if you're looking for privacy in all circumstances. Cottage#6 has room for one car in a parallel parking situation in front; it requires a very short walk uphill that everyone but the impaired can easily handle. The place was clean, accommodating, and the check-in/check-out procedures were convenient. Jeff was always quick to respond to our communications. Would enjoy staying here again!

This was our third time staying at this property, and we always look forward to our next stay once the current one ends. I don’t want to duplicate past reviews, but the listing is 100% accurate - dramatic views and sounds of the sea - and we come to rest and recharge. We also bring our dachshunds who can’t get enough sniffs when they are here. Tips: - May weather is unpredictable but it will definitely be cooler here than inland. Come prepared. We bring robes, heated throws, and our own small heater (they also provide multiple heaters but the large fireplace goes a long way to get the cold out of your bones). - Don’t overpack. Bring your non-negotiables, but you can get groceries in town. Do laundry during your stay to cut down on packing. - Do check out Waterstruck Wellness in Newcastle - not too far. Nice Nordic circuit (sauna, warm pool, cold plunge) amid a forest environment. - Don’t hesitate to reach out to your host with any issues. They’re great and responsive. Enjoy!

This was a great place for a family of 3. The location was nice and close to town for an easy walk. Lots of hiking in the area with local recommendations from the host.
