Peace and quiet
I loved the house and land. It was woodsy. We went to relax and we sure did. There were hiking trails where we took our dog but basically stayed on the property. I could cook there so we didn’t eat out much. The house looks better in person than online.

Hidden Vacation Home
Location of the home was perfect! Close to the center of town but tucked away in the woods. We loved the outdoor seating and the fire pit. My only complaint is about the shower... it needs some improvements.

Beautiful waterfront location
We had an amazing time with our family of four. Very clean, easy check in process and we loved the property, right on the water with great views. We enjoyed use of the kayaks and canoe and loved the fire pit right by the lake. Would highly recommend this property for a family stay!!

Beautiful home and location
Beautiful home that is a great proximity to Boothbay Harbor downtown. The pond is very nice but the water level was very low during our stay in March and there were no boats available as described in the listing. It is unclear whether this is something to note for all offseason travelers

Perfect hideaway for a family of 4.
Plenty of space for a family of 4. Kitchen well fitted. Comfortable bedding. A mere 5 min drive from Boothbay Harbor. Really quite neighborhood. Would love to go back during summer time to enjoy the lake.

Complete peace.
What a great stay. Our first time in Maine, and New England and so glad we had this location. Booth bay is the “just right” costal town to stay in. 5 minutes from the harbor, so much to do locally, and the home was great. The property stole the show, though. The water, deck, dock, fire pit, grill, the trees! All so great. The house is large and well equipped, but could use some updating, better humidity control, and AC. Highly recommend.

Great remote spot
Nice remote spot on a small pond. Was clean, and tidy up on arrival. Has pretty much has everything needed to home cook. As well as full appliances. Three bedrooms, and can sleep 6. Very close to Boothbay center. Can't beat the price. We'll be back.

A restful haven
Three friends rented this house and it was clean, comfortable spacious, private and quiet. A wonderful place! The location is really nice since there is private access to the pond and the ocean is a short walk away. The Maine Botanical Gardens are nearby which is an amazing place to go. Another day we went to Pemaquid lighthouse. I highly recommend this house as a great place to stay!

Friends!
We loved the location, set up of the house, linens, fully stocked kitchen and the surroundings. A little more attention to the cleaning of the house - dust, cobwebs would have been nice.

peaceful and serene
nice quiet location, lots of room in the house, everything was clean and nice except the upstairs bathroom needs a new shower curtain liner and there needs to be some work on the shower/tub, outdated and a bit musty

As advertised
This house was as advertised in that all the amenities listed were included plus a couple of bonus ones not mentioned like the hiking trail in the community at the end of the road! Generally speaking the location was lovely, very peaceful, and still close to town which is what we were looking for. Nearby there is also a YMCA that for a $10 daily fee allows you to do the classes that are offered as well as use the gym which was only a 8 minute drive from the house and a great option for the many rainy days we had with this stay. The house also had a puzzle which was nice and the thrift store in town proved to be a cheap way to get more puzzles. The road itself is quiet and was a nice place to walk our two dogs. The reasons we knocked a star off was because a) my mom cut her foot on a piece of glass on the floor (not from anything that was broken by us), b) the step up from the porch thru the front door was high which was difficult for my mom with her bad knee c) again our stay was rainy and the remote batteries didn't work it took about 3 hours for someone to come out and deliver batteries to us which for a rainy day not having access to a tv was a bit unfortunate and d) the down comforters and furniture was not mentioned and I am allergic to down so not realizing this definitely triggered my allergies and if I had known in advance we would've brought our own blankets/pillows but it was generally worth the money and was a nice house overall

Lovely stay
It was a beautiful house on a very scenic lot, my fiancé and I very much enjoyed our stay. I would only note, that much of the town is closed during the first week of November, so beware of that!

The best Vrbo ever!
This house was amazing. It was way better than we expected after looking through the pictures online. The outdoor space and the house itself are beautiful and the pictures do it zero justice. We were worried at first about the lack of AC, but the house cooled right down once we opened the windows let the air in. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking to visit Boothbay. It was so close to the main area, but you couldn’t even tell- it felt like you were immersed in nature.

Nice camp getaway
Nice camp property on large lot with direct pond access. Very quiet neighborhood and less than 2 miles from Boothbay harbor. Convenient and out of crowds. We loved the big open kitchen and the dock with canoes. 3 year old granddaughter loved to play in the large yard.

Private and well equipped.
The pictures on the website of this house do not do it justice. The house is large and sits on a nicely private lot. It slopes gently to the pond which you can see from the house. The house is immaculate and well equipped. The beds are comfortable and the linens and towels very nice and generously stocked. The laundry room is adorable and very handy on the second floor. Since we were there after Columbus Day, the neighborhood was very quiet. (Many of the shops and restaurants in Boothbay, and other parts of Maine, shut down on Columbus Day. Still plenty to do but if you are counting on visiting a particular one, call ahead!). My husband enjoyed the small kayak and canoe on the pond, but it does not connect to the larger body of water as it shows on some maps. There is a little beach further down the road and that would be fun, especially for small children, in the summer. There were lots of places to walk the dogs and Boothbay itself is dog friendly. It is possible to walk to town as many, apparently fit, people have pointed out,, just as it is technically possible to walk to California. But it is 31 minutes according to the GPS and uphill at least one way if not both depending on your route. It took this old lady closer to 40 and I took a local taxi back with my packages, which I was lucky to get as no Uber/Lyft was available. (the taxi driver was great!) I would definitely book this home again and hope that I can someday!

Great house with a great location
We loved this house! From here we were able to walk into town as well as Barrett park. Our dog loved the pond and we enjoyed fishing and kayaking in it as well. We just wished there would have been fans for the bedrooms- they got a little stuffy at night and wished we would have brought one along with us.
