Cute and comfortable, this quiet cottage built in 1800 offers a peaceful escape for those in search of a tranquil Boothbay Harbor experience. Unplug and appreciate the surroundings in the warmth of the sunroom. The living room includes more blankets, additional seating, and a resituated pull-out couch for optimal lounging as you watch TV. Enjoy a peaceful night's rest on the California King bed in the main bedroom, just updated in December 2024. Need some quiet time? Enjoy the separate bunkhouse that has been converted into a comfortable, relaxing space with a library. The Lobster Trap, a three-season (spring, summer, and fall) garage hangout space, features cozy blankets, an electric fireplace, a couch, a custom bar with bar stools, a Fire TV, and a full-sized refrigerator. For fun, try the ping-pong table, the dartboard, the deluxe Scrabble board, or a game of Hook 21. The yoga mat is perfect for winding down, as are the L.L. Bean rocking chairs.

Take a walk through the neighborhood on your way to the beach at Barrett Park. The cottage is located on 1.5 acres giving it a secluded feel. There are also great outdoor spaces, including two lawns for the kids to play on, a firepit location with Adirondack chairs and new solar lighting for family gatherings, a propane grill, and many lawn games included with the property. Indulge in grilled meals on the new custom-built picnic table. There is very little light pollution on the property so the stars are beautiful if you are interested in stargazing. When it's time to call it a night, take refuge in the primary bedroom and turn on the electric fireplace for a cozy ambience as you drift to sleep.

This home sits within walking distance of Barrett Park (three-quarters of a mile south), where you can have a scenic picnic or swim in the waters of Lewis Cove. Downtown Boothbay Harbor is one mile west across the footbridge, home to beautiful marinas, fantastic restaurants, and charming shops. The area immediately surrounding town is similarly full of activities. It is also less than three miles from the Boothbay Harbor Country Club. Take the kids to the Maine State Aquarium, located four miles west. The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens are also just four miles away, where you can walk the trails to view 250 acres of manicured gardens and natural landscape.

This home has been the epitome of a coastal Maine home for over 222 years. The charm and solid construction is both timeless and enduring. You'll enjoy the cottage and all that the Boothbay Harbor area offers during your stay.

Very comfortable and fun place to stay.
We enjoyed all of it, it was so nice to have a separate cottage for the game room. The fire pit was a plus.

Very dated, floors uneven, felt cramped with three people, not for the elderly, couch in living room was like sitting on a rock! Overall it was clean but won’t stay again…sorry just trying to be truthful! Master bedroom bed was very comfortable but watch out on the stairs and DUCK at bottom so you don’t bang your head?spiders in showers!

Celebration of Life , Needed room for 4 family members with quiet areas !!
The house was , very clean , fantastic little reading areas , tons of board games , The new- bar Garage will be fantastic for Teens to hang out or guests to enjoy sporting events, very nice Fire Pit area too. Your able to walk to Barrett Park as all cars are cautious to walkers , . For us the upstairs shower worked , but could be an issue for people with mobility issue. The garbage cans are an issue, I suggest metal cans , sadly the grass wasn't cut , over a ft tall !! I hoping it was a memorial Weekend miscommunication, we could use the yard as much as we liked because of time of year for ticks Over all I would definitely come back , Very Special Maine Cape, Beautifully Decorated, House is stocked with everything you need, Tons of snuggly blankets !! Best Bean Bag Chairs every !! My score 99 /100

Very cute, not at all as it was explained
The house was very cute, convenient distance to town, and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The lamp in the room with the double bed had no chain and was off, so we had to move another lamp into that room for light. There was no place in the description that said the sun room was not insulated. I would highly recommend putting that as a disclaimer, especially in colder months, as we did not feel comfortable having our son sleep out there with temperature being low. The fireplace helped but not enough to be comfortable sleeping, and we had to have him sleep with us in the King. The advertisement made it seem like there was a double bed in addition to two trundle beds, so we were a little surprised by the sleeping arrangements. There is one King, one double trundle bed, and one twin trundle bed in the sun room. There was a note with a key saying that we had access to the reading shed and the garage lounge, but the note online said there was no access to the garage so it was very confusing. Also, the key worked for the reading shed but we were not able to access the garage. Maybe they didn't want us to have access because of the season and cold weather? Not a bad place and would have been much more lovely in the summer, especially now that we understand exactly what the sleeping arrangements were.

Cute place in a good location
We enjoyed the cottage in this location - which was close to town, restaurants and a park. The Botanical Gardens are just a short drive away and we enjoyed that one day, and then the Harbor Cruises are great! We took one that included pulling a lobster trap. Great narrator on the boat. Very interesting and beautiful cruise. The restaurant we enjoyed most was the Tugboat Inn. The staff was amazing, the food was delicious and the drinks were great. The best spot we dined while there. The cottage has everything you need in the kitchen, and the largest bedroom upstairs was very comfy (that was where I slept!). The furniture downstairs was comfortable as well. We did have a few glitches with our stay, and one was the trash as noted by a previous guest. We contacted Vacasa and the Rubbish company was there the following day but i think the issue was that the previous guests did not follow the instruction to leave the trash bags in the trash cans out back. The other issue that didn't really bother us but would have really bothered a friend of ours (or anyone with allergies) who decided not come is the mustiness/smell in the house, which was mild, but in the other two buildings it was strong. The other two buildings were adorable, one is a library and one is a game room. Both of these were musty - which I am sure is because they are closed up and there has been a lot of rain this summer. As for walking to town, the road is EXTREMELY curvy and hilly and we did not feel safe walking on the road due to fast traffic and no sidewalks or shoulder on the road. The house is very old, and quaint, but we enjoyed our time there. Decor is very cute. If you are old like me, be careful if you sit in the very comfy big bean bags!! I needed a lift from my friends to get up!! haha!! All in all, we had a great time!

Cute cottage
This cute cottage is out of the way of the hubbub of town but close enough to enjoy. House is old so floors aren’t even and stairs are narrow but that adds to the experience!! They have definitely thought of all the things you need and supplies then. The lobster trap out back was fun with lots of games and cool place to hang out.

Senior Trip for my daughter
We came to Boothbay Maine for my daughters senior trip and had an amazing g time. The cottage was so comfortable and we never wanted for anything g. It had such character and charm. Everything we needed was there and it was so very peaceful and quiet.

Cozy Lobster Cove Cottage
We loved the cozy feel of Lobster Cove Cottage. From the fully stocked kitchen to the snuggly blankets strategically placed throughout, we felt right at home. We had plenty of space for our family’s party of six. The beds were comfy, and the electric fireplace in the living room provided an extra level of warmth when we returned from our Gardens Aglow visit to the nearby Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. We also enjoyed venturing into the Lobster Library during the day and selected a few books to bring back to the inviting sunporch, where we read and napped in the sun while lounging in the oversized chair and daybed areas. There was a good assortment of board, card, and lawn games, and if it hadn’t rained, we would have taken advantage of the grill, firepit and Adirondack chairs. This 1800s cottage is comfortable and has plenty of room for families to spread out. It really felt like home to us during our stay.

Adorable but not for elderly guests
Thi cottage was adorable, very clean and well-equipped. It was great for me and my 12 year old, but not the best for my elderly parents with bedrooms and the bathroom upstairs.
