About this property

Boothbay Birch Cottage, near Botanical Gardens

Sunny Cape Retreat Near Boothbay Harbor & Coastal Botanical Gardens

This charming, sun-drenched 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Cape offers the ideal mix of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm for your next vacation.

Step inside to discover warm wooden floors in every room. The home's thoughtful layout features all three bedrooms on the second floor—complete with a king bed, queen bed, and two twin beds—and wall-mounted ductless air-conditioning units to keep you cool on summer days. Upstairs there's also a full bathroom with a tub/shower that's perfect for families with young children.

The main floor features rustic knotty pine ceilings throughout. You'll find a bright and airy dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a cozy seating area with a TV for family movie nights, a full bathroom, and a second living area with reading nooks and a dedicated workspace for those who need to log in while away.

Step outside onto the spacious wraparound deck to enjoy outdoor dining, relax in the fresh coastal air, or fire up the gas grill for a BBQ cookout. The large backyard is great for kids to play or for a game of cornhole after a day exploring.

Birch Cottage's location is ideal for exploring everything the peninsula has to offer. Just down the street is picturesque Boothbay Harbor where you can enjoy the region's best local seafood, craft breweries, ice cream, shopping, and seasonal festivities like the Windjammer Days Festival and July 4th fireworks and parade. Head down to the waterfront piers to rent kayaks, book a whale watch or puffin tour, or grab the ferry to Monhegan Island.

The property is minutes from some of the area's most popular attractions including the renowned Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Boothbay Opera House, Carousel Theater, Railway Village Museum, and the Boothbay Farmers Market.

The peninsula is home to the Boothbay Region Land Trust's stunning nature preserves and more than 30 miles of well-maintained hiking trails. Cool off on the nearby beaches at Barrett's Park and Hendrick's Head, or the rugged shoreline at Ocean Point. All are a quick drive or bike ride from Birch Cottage.

Whether you're craving lobster rolls, nature walks, or time near the water, this cozy cottage is a comfortable and convenient home base. Just under an hour from Portland, it's the perfect family-friendly escape in Midcoast Maine.

The house was spacious. It allowed everyone a place to go to either read, watch TV or sit on the large deck. The house was located close to Boothbay Harbor making it convenient to shopping, restaurants, etc.

Birch Cottage is everything a person would want! It was so snuggly! Very clean! We loved the beams and the wood ceiling! A quality home! It was so nice to stay there, close to all the locations and hiking woods! We enjoyed The Botanical Garden Aglow while we were there too! The beautiful home is close enough to town to long walk too, or take a jog! Pajama shopping at the end of November was a blast! Loved seeing the town get together! Such fun! I would definitely stay here again and suggest you give it a try too! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay in this house. The accommodations were comfortable and well thought out in that way that only happens when the owners have spent time living there themselves. It has the best-equipped kitchen of any rental house we've been in. The location is fantastic. It's surrounded by beautiful and varied hiking spots, cute towns, and amazing dining. Plus, it's an easy drive to Portland. Looking forward to staying here again
