Magical Hawk's Nest

We had a wonderful stay at Hawk's Nest! The apartment is really nicely done with beautiful craftsmanship and a magical garden. The mattress was a little firmer than we'd like, but we still slept like logs after long days full of adventures around Boothbay.

Adorable and comfortable cottage. So close to everything! Walk into the heart of Boothbay. View of the water….it feels like you are in a treehouse! Abbie (host and owner) and her husband are so nice and helpful with suggestions of everything! Can’t say enough nice things about our stay!

Lovely spot in Boothbay Harbor

Abby and Brian’s place in Boothbay Harbor is just perfect - super location and very walkable. Comfortable and extra clean - it is even better than the pictures. The hosts have a beautiful yard and garden area and are quite welcoming with excellent recommendations for favorite activities and restaurants. 100% will stay here again when I return. Boothbay Harbor is charming and this is the perfect spot!

Perfect Place for Two!

From the moment we stepped onto the property, the beauty of the garden and greenery along with the view of the water caught our eyes. Abbie and Brian couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly. And the location is perfect to walk into town every day! We can’t wait to come back. Lisa and Cara
