About this property

A Unique Experience!!

Are you looking for a unique experience? If so, you have found it at the Linekin Bay Chapel. The Chapel was converted to a 2 bedroom home and has the original stained glass windows and bell tower. It boasts a large open living room with the original hardwood floors and a sun room.

Relax on the back deck with a drink and barbecue or go for a hike on nearby Linekin Preserve which offers over 100 acres of hiking trails including scenic ocean frontage. Also for hiking, the Boothbay Region Land Trust (BRLT) offers over 30 miles of coastal and woodland trails which are open year round and are free to the public. A short walk takes you to bold open ocean frontage on King Phillips Trail where there are spectacular sunrises. Less than a 5 minute drive takes you to Ocean Point where you can watch a breathtaking sunset (don't forget your camera).

Downtown Boothbay Harbor is 4.5 miles away and offers numerous shops, galleries, restaurants and great night life. Ocean cruises are available here for lobster/clam bakes, as well as whale and seal watching excursions. The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens (the largest in New England) is less than 10 minutes from the chapel and offers over 250 acres of waterfront and woodland trails; it also includes sensory gardens, impressive waterfalls, stonework, and a great Cafe.

The Chapel has a large wrap-around deck with patio furniture and a gas grill. There is also a large sun porch which is a great place for morning coffee. It has a well stocked kitchen with some of the original wood cabinets. There is a dishwasher for your convenience. There is air conditioning as well as a washer and dryer.

There is also a public boat ramp nearby. There is also a nearby lake so feel free to use our canoe and life jackets as long as you have a way to transport the canoe.

The Chapel, also known as 'the Pink and Purple Church', was built in 1911 and was a Methodist summer chapel. It was later converted to a private residence and an art gallery and is known for the whimsical color scheme.

This is such a beautiful place to stay and the Boothbay area is truly lovely. The pink and purple church is a special place to make such wonderful memories. We enjoyed every minute and have visited the last several years. It’s our most favorite place to stay!

The chapel was absolutely perfect for our family (kids ages 3-5). It was very clean, tons of room, fully stocked and a great location. A unique stay for the kids and the hosts were very responsive and friendly. 10/10 recommend.

Another Perfect Stay!

We stayed at the Linekin Chapel in the fall of 2022. We couldn’t wait to come back! This time we stayed for two glorious weeks and the experience was just as perfect as the last time. The chapel is beautiful and so well maintained. It’s a perfect size for us and our two adult daughters. Centrally located, with so much to do in the area. We had deer that appeared several evenings too. Everything we could have needed was provided, such as towels, extra bedsheets, a big kitchen, washer/dryer, lots of games too! Just go up the road to Hannaford to supply the kitchen with everything you need to make homemade meals. We can’t wait to return!

The Perfect Place!

If you have the chance to book this property, do it! So beautiful-the owners have put a lot of work and thought into the details. The house is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. A fully equipped kitchen allowed us to make many meals in-house. The property is perfectly situated between Boston and Acadia and made a perfect landing spot for our many adventures in and around the area. Maine is an absolutely gorgeous state and this charming rental helped this vacation land at the top of our list as an all time favorite trip. Great communication from our hosts. Comfortable, clean and did I mention absolutely beautiful? What could be better than waking up to the sun coming in through stained glass windows?If our travels ever take us back to Maine, we would absolutely book here again. Ten stars!

Fabulous stay in a beautiful part of Maine!

The little pink and purple chapel in East Boothbay made for an exceptional vacation! It is comfortable, very clean, and the hosts have thought of everything their guests might possibly need. The porch wonderful for morning coffee or dinner alfresco. The location is very convenient for beaches, boat rides, and anything else you might possibly want to do. Highly recommended!

Staying at the Purple Chapel

This is a very comfortable, quirky, beautiful, very well stocked home. We loved the way the sunlight breaks through the stained glass windows and its mellowness. Ocean Point near fails to please and staying at the Chapel was a wonderful (wonder filled?!) bonus.

Perfect Getaway

The Chapel was a wonderful and very unique experience. With just the right blend of modern comfort but keeping the historic touches. The original stained glass windows are amazing when lit up by the morning sun. Great location that was private but close enough to enjoy all the things Boothbay Harbor has to offer.Very comfortable beds and quality linens. Excellent communication with Jason and Kristen, they are great hosts. Looking forward to our next vacation at the Chapel

Great property - would rent again

Our family stayed here for a week in August. The charming chapel is very clean and comfortable. There is a lot of seating, a well stocked kitchen and many games for our 6 and 8 year old children. Jason and Kristin are very helpful - they sent us a packet of information on the area prior to arrival, which was great for doing some advance planning. They also made an effort with wonderful extras like fresh flowers, snack mix and a lovely fresh fruit and cheese platter - what a nice treat after a long drive to Maine! Boothbay has many activities from which to choose including the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, the Railway Village, kayaking, biking and hiking. We had some delicious meals as well - we loved the lobster rolls at the Lobster Dock, sandwiches at the General Store and ice cream at the Downeast Ice Cream Factory. We would gladly return to the area and to the chapel for another summer vacation.

Love The Pink and Purple Chapel!

We stayed at the chapel for our twentieth anniversary. Of all the places we’ve stayed in Maine, the Pink and Purple chapel is our favorite! The attention to detail is beyond anything we expected. All you need to do is bringing clothing, a few toiletries, buy food and you are set! The kitchen is more than well stocked with everything we needed. The washer and dryer came in handy, as did the dishwasher. The bathroom sparkled, and the living and dining areas are huge. The entire home is spotless. There is plenty of parking and the chapel’s location is perfect. It’s a nice drive to Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Bath and Brunswick if you want to explore. The chapel is so beautiful. The stained glass is everywhere, so prepare to take a lot of pictures. We spent a lot of the day out exploring Maine and when we returned it felt like coming home. Kristin and Jason were so welcoming. They kept us updated before we arrived, and left a nice card for us, a lovely (huge) fruit and cheese tray, and other lovely additions to help us celebrate our anniversary. We were so sad to leave! One week was not enough time. We will be returning to the chapel as soon as we can! Sandi and Jon San Diego, CA
