We were up from South Carolina for a family wedding, and made a family vacation out of it. There were six of us and this beautiful, cozy, comfortable house was perfect! We had the best time and everything we needed was provided. I especially love the homemade afghan throws.
The location was excellent. The must see Botanical gardens was literally minutes away as well as restaurants and the water. The house felt like a home, not a rental with everything we could need.

Patricia - we wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for your kind words after your stay at Boothbay Birch Cottage earlier this season. We consider it a top compliment to hear that the house felt like a home and not a rental. That is our goal and hope every guest can have the experience you had. Come see us again real soon.
House had everything you needed. Beds were comfy, house was clean and kitchen was stocked with pots and pans as well as utensils. Close to many activities and Boothbay is just the perfect New England coastal town. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Christine - your welcome and we are you enjoyed your stay at Boothbay Birch Cottage. A comfy bed and clean house are two things we love for guests to find upon arrival at our rental home(s). We agree Boothbay is one of Maine's best coast towns and we hope you come stay with us again when you are back in our area.
Very clean rental located in a really nice quiet area of Boothbay Harbor. Somewhat eclectic decor and facilities, which made for many (good! ) conversations. Overall definitely recommend. Deck may need refinishing soon, but still very comfortable. Very well stocked kitchen utensils and pots/ pans. Beds were all very comfortable.
The home was so lovely and comfortable and had any amenity you could think of. Loved all the books and we had so much fun with the games. The beds were so comfortable. We look forward to staying again.
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.

Wonderful experience. Great house to stay in. Very close to all activities we wanted to do.
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!

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
We were looking for a 3 night stay between Bar Harbor and Boston and found this property after clicking on every VRBO property using Map View. It was perfect for our needs and the fact we discovered Booth Bay area was wonderful. Well priced, well equipped and good host.
