Thistle Inn - Boothbay Harbor, ME

Find your very own piece of Boothbay Harbor history at the Thistle Inn, a six-suite property that offers a wonderful setting for a family reunion, a couples' getaway, or a work retreat with close colleagues.

Built in 1861 as a sea captain's home, the Thistle Inn has been welcoming guests to Boothbay Harbor since 1960. The location is as good as it gets: less than 500 feet from the opera house and a few blocks from shops, galleries, restaurants, whale-watch cruises, and the harbor footbridge in the center of town. The acclaimed Maine State Aquarium and Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens are three miles away, and other beauties of the Midcoast are within a short, scenic drive.

These six individual suites are spread out among the Inn's three floors. Each suite is full of historic character yet still offers the modern comforts of high-speed WiFi, a TV, and comfortable sleeping arrangements. Only one of the suites - the Crow's Nest on the top two floors - includes a kitchen.

On the grounds of the Inn, you'll have access to an expansive, shaded deck - a lovely spot to relax, debrief your daily adventures, and reconnect with friends and family in the afternoons.
