The 1909 Cottage

Step back in time when you stay at this historic Boothbay Harbor home, a seven-bedroom cottage with a large front porch, a wonderful location, and an abundance of atmospheric Maine charm.

Built in 1909, this two-level home sits at the highest point in Boothbay, just a quarter-mile from the two rocky beaches at Barrett Park. You'll be less than one mile from the quaint shops and restaurants of downtown Boothbay Harbor and one mile from the beautiful trails of Lobster Cove Meadow Preserve and walking distance to downtown Boothbay harbor.

The living space is expansive and open, featuring rustic wood paneling, natural banisters and support beams, as well as WiFi and a new electrical system. After a day of kayaking on Linekin Bay, return home to read a novel, take a nap in the rocking chair, or practice your musical skills on the piano.

You'll find delicious lobster rolls and fresh local haddock at the nearby Boothbay Lobster Wharf, but you can also prepare meals in the full country kitchen. The adjacent dining area has seating for four.

Begin each morning at Barrett Park, where you can take an invigorating swim in the bay or sit in the shade of the gazebo. You'll come home to an outdoor shower, a private washer and dryer for your beach clothes, and perhaps even an afternoon barbecue on the lovely front porch. Fire up the gas grill and enjoy the plentiful seating as you catch up with family and friends.

Back indoors, the kids can settle in for a fun-filled movie night in front of the flatscreen TV, VCR, and DVD player (please be advised that there is no cable).

This seven-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom home will sleep a maximum of 14 people. The wood paneling continues in the charming bedrooms, which offer one queen bed, two full-size beds, and four sets of twin beds. The full bathroom has a claw foot tub and the half-bath is located in the downstairs utility room.

As one of the most beloved towns in Midcoast Maine, Boothbay Harbor is a wonderful place to enjoy the region's many outdoor wonders. Rent a kayak for the day at Tidal Transit Kayak Company, take a four-mile drive to tour the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, or observe more than 140 species of birds at the neighboring Lobster Cove Meadow Preserve.
