About this property

Peaceful Lake Waterfront! Automatic backup Generator! Full Kitchen! Heat & A/C

Come enjoy the peaceful tranquility of this lakefront retreat just 5 minutes from the quaint seaside shops and restaurants of Boothbay Harbor! The rental is a private, bright, spacious, separate apartment in the lower level of the home with its own entrance, tall 9-ft ceilings, and LOTS of windows and glass to see the beautiful water and sunsets from each room with heat and air conditioning. Enjoy star gazing, fishing, swimming, or choose out of our mix of kayaks or rowboat to explore the mile-long lake waters.

Walk out the French doors to the grass and sit back in an infinity chair and listen to the loons and the wind in the trees, watch the sun sparkle off the lake, or take the short path that leads down the hill to the private dock with swim ladder and take a dip, lay out on a towel in the sun, or perch on a wooden swing near the water's edge.

The large bedroom includes a queen-sized memory foam bed situated nicely to look out over the water. Other guests may choose the couch/chaise in the den with self serve hideaway queen size cool gel memory foam bed or the sturdy single cots labeled “reading nook” in the pictures.

The unit has a small but nicely equipped kitchen with appliances including stove, oven, microwave, coffee makers, steamer, instantpot and blender for your convenience and some common spices.

Bathroom has dual sinks and tub/shower combination.

Enjoy a private entrance on the water side of the home, a space separated from owner’s part of the house by a locked door, heat and air conditioning on it's own Nest zone, and parking for 1 vehicle (or 2 if we have advanced notice and squish). WIFI and Sling TV on a smart TV included. Sling is a channel app for the TV that operates through Roku. Games and puzzles line the closet shelves to encourage an unplugged experience.

Property is located on a quiet dead-end road that leads to sidewalks into town. Walking the beautiful oceanfront route to town takes approximately 20 minutes or take the 5 minute drive in a car. This is a great starting location for exploring the rest of the Boothbay region as well! Take in area walking trails, choose a boat tour to see picturesque islands and lighthouses, take a dip in the ocean from one of the area's rocky beaches, or see the nearby Botanical Gardens.

Whole house automatic backup generator assures very little chance of being without power.

The main part of the home is a part-time vacation retreat for the owners and the price of the rental is lower than market value which reflects the possibility that you may occasionally hear signs of life from the rest of the house, but don’t worry! Many of our great 5 star reviews were from weeks we were present. Welcome!

Restful home, thoughtful hosts
We never return to the same spot twice BUT this VRBO has made us change our mind. Lovely view across a lake. Quiet location with beautifully decorated space. The hosts were very thoughtful which enhanced our stay. The lodging is ideal for 2 people who may have 1-2 children. There are lots of games and Lego in the closets, dock on the lake, and outdoor grill. Note: there is no dishwasher or clothes washer, only one bathroom but it is LARGE, and the refrigerator is NOT full size. If these are only inconveniences than consider this a great place to visit in Boothbay, Maine

Quiet & Enjoyable
Just as the title says.....we wanted to get away (just the two of us) for a long weekend where it was quiet and we'd have the ability to reconnect. This location was perfect for us. Beautiful lake in the backyard, no street noise, very clean, just perfect. Easy ride into town, great location.

Comfort
I felt able to relax as soon as we walked in. The space is spacious and inviting. There wasn't anything we were lacking for a homestay. So nice to have a home away from home.

A great visit
Our host was very flexible and helped with some needed changes. The accommodation has lovely views overlooking the lake with all the bird life keeping us occupied. We walked most mornings as the neighborhood is quiet for a pleasant stroll. Apartment is nice, but we limited our cooking mainly to breakfast as kitchen is adequate but quite small. The bathroom and shower were great and the views from the windows in the comfortable bedroom were lovely as well, Our best trip was to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Don't miss it.

Quiet stay on the lake
This is a beautiful property on the lake. The property was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed using the kayaks and relaxing by the lake. Downtown Boothbay Harbor is only a 5 minute drive away with lots of shops and restaurants. Wendy was great at communicating with us and always replied quickly. Hope to visit again! Thank you!
