East Boothbay Cottage | Classic Waterfront Cottage with Private Fishing & boat dock - Boothbay Harbor

3 Bedroom Cottage in East Boothbay

WATERFRONT COTTAGE WITH PRIVATE DOCK
Our peaceful cottage sits just in front of a rocky beach and calm cove of the wide Darmariscotta River with a private fishing and boating dock. (The dock is only able to be used after Memorial Day) A summer home surrounded by green lawns and gardens, its many picture windows and large deck provide views of the constantly changing 10 foot tides, of lobstermen hauling their traps, of sunrises, of seals riding the river’s current or of the blue heron that favors fishing in our small cove, and of the picturesque boat harbor downriver.
The heart of the cottage is its large living room, featuring three picture windows facing the river with a view of the harbor boats, another picture window facing the garden, a piano and a wood-burning stove. On one side of the living room is the kitchen, a sitting-dining area with a wall of screened windows also facing the river, and the master bedroom with queen bed and full bath with bathtub. The other side of the living room has an enclosed porch with another sitting area, a bedroom with a full size bed, another bedroom with a twin over full bunk bed, and second bathroom with shower. In addition, is a second common area for these two rooms. This section gives privacy from the master bedroom on the other side of the living room.
Outside is a large deck with lounge chairs, table and charcoal grill, and of course a full view of river activity. Our cove is appropriate for children with both a rocky and sandy area to explore and fish from.
Our quiet home is a five minute walk down a private road to the tiny shipbuilding village of East Boothbay, where the river reverses its flows into the large town pond, a fascination to watch when standing on the village bridge. The village’s dock restaurant serves great lobster meals on its large open deck that faces the yachts and sailboats anchored in the harbor. A general store is around the corner with all the necessities you may need including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
A five minute drive takes you to Ocean Point, where old cottages line the winding road beside the ocean’s rocky coast, and where visitors stroll for true coastal scenery. A large public cove provides swimming for children and adults; beyond the cove are two miles of wide rock ledges that can be easily climbed over so one can feel the spray of ocean surf crashing onto the rocks, or so one can discover small tidal pools teeming with crabs, mussels and plant life.
Our cottage is a five minute drive to Boothbay, a lively town with waterfront restaurants and cafes where you can watch yachts, sailboats, fishing boats and harbor cruise boats as they head in and out of the charming harbor. Boothbay is also home for the incredible Boothbay Region Botanical Gardens, now quite famous as the largest in New England, and the small Maine State Aquarium, very exciting to children and situated on a beautiful harbor point with picnic tables, grassy lawn and a rocky shore. 13 lighthouses and 15 wildlife land preserves are available for visits and hiking. Kayaking, golf, mini-golf, a new YWCA pool, lobster and clambakes, and boat cruises are always offered, with Windjammer Days (late June), July 4 fireworks, East Boothbay Shipbuilders Festival (August), and on-going craft fairs as special events.
Nearby are Wiscasset, known as the “most picturesque village in Maine” with old sea-captain’s homes and popular “Red Eats” lobster rolls, Freeport with the LLBean flagship store and other famous outlets, Rockport with its Farnsworth Art Museum which features the Wyeth artists’ works, and the nearby “Christina’s Farm” located on an unspoiled peninsula, and Bath with its Maine Maritime Museum. A day’s round trip boat ride brings you to Monhegan Island, a fascinating island known for its footpaths through village homes and artists’ studios.
Our secluded cottage offers the natural peace and beauty for a genuine Maine experience.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at Doug and Wendy’s cottage very much. What a treasure! So many front row seats to the great view. We loved the special touches: a laundry basket (!), all the little details like the spices and plenty of plates glasses cups. The whole house was immaculate and our hosts were very accommodating. The cottage can be a very relaxing homey place to stay, and also has plenty of things nearby to do see hike sit eat! We would love to come back someday.

Summary: Our family stayed at the cabin for a week and loved every minute of it!!! The cabin was clean and comfortable with an amazing view of the Damariscotta River. The home is well designed with the MBR on one end and the other bedrooms/bathroom on the opposite end to ensure privacy. The water facing side of the cabin is literally a wall of windows that provides an extraordinary view. The dock is new and gives you easy access for boating. It’s a short drive to downtown Boothbay or a short walk to the East Boothbay General Store where you can get great pastries and sandwiches. Doug was a fantastic host every step of the way and checked in to be sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a place to experience the charm of Boothbay, this cabin would be a good choice!!!

Summary: We had a very relaxing week at this property. The location was quiet and peaceful, views were beautiful from the large, nearly full-wall windows on the river side of the cabin. Great views from the dining area, family room and full-length enclosed porch. The side deck was terrific to just sit and enjoy the days. Our nearly blind retriever mix had a little trouble navigating the slight hill from the car to the house but she learned the routine in a day or two The property owner is wonderful to work with and was very helpful with arrangements. This one is certainly worth a LONG look - and a LONG stay:-)

Summary: This cottage has an extremely beautiful setting with gardens and a water view across the entire back of the cottage. The cottage was spotless and well layed out. Doug supplied us with all the information we needed. There were plenty of restaurants nearby. Our favorite place for take-out was the East Boothbay General Store. They have the best sandwiches I have ever had. Farm 23 Bakery is a must for fresh bread and pastries. They also make awesome soup. You definitely cannot go wrong staying here.

Summary: My husband and I stayed at this property with our adult daughter. We absolutely loved it here. The sunrise is the most beautiful I have seen. The house itself is wonderfully outfitted with everything you need as a home away from home. The location is great, close to the harbor, stores and restaurants. The owner Doug Gardner was wonderful, gave easy instructions for check in and a nice welcome gift. Love this property and look forward to staying there again.

Summary: We chose the location of Boothbay because it is the ideal smaller & very quaint Maine harbor village & is centrally located to the sites we wanted to explore. And we are so glad we found this particular cottage! It was perfect- location, size, amenities, cleanliness, everything! We were two couples plus our older dog. The house is ideally split so each couple had their privacy & we could meet in the middle general living areas which included two of the coziest sun porches overlooking the rocky shoreline. The cottage is on a lobster fishing harbor which was so very fun to watch lobstermen checking their traps. I particularly liked this harbor front cottage in order to experience the tides coming in & out twice daily- so mesmerizing. We even saw seals, loons, & an eagle! The furniture was all very cozy & comfy, including the beds & linens. I must also mention how much we appreciated the attentiveness of our host Doug. He & Wendy were great! We would absolutely return to this wonderful cottage- it offers THE total Maine experience! We loved every minute of our stay - it truly is a “peaceful retreat!”

Summary: This is a beautiful property right on the water. Quintessential Maine home with a most congenial host. Very well equipped and central to many Maine attractions. Both couples in our group loved it. A very comfortable master suite at one end and a family suite at the other end. In the middle is lots of living space and lots of windows overlooking the water. We highly recommend this home.

Summary: We had a lovely time in East Boothbay. You cant beat the location of this house. It was near to everything, but felt so private. The view was incredible. We loved the deck and the bench by the water. The house was well equipped with what we needed, including tools to eat the lobsters that we brought home and enjoyed on the deck. Doug was wonderful and gave us lots of great recommendations. We were vacationing with 2 adult couples and one toddler, and the layout of the house worked perfectly, with the living room separating the 2 living quarters. The only downside I would say for us was that the bedrooms were small in the wing with double bed and bunk bed. I would recommend this property.
