Quaint but damp

My husband and I enjoyed the bnb for the most part - perfect kitchen amenities, beautiful view of the bay, cute little general store a short walk away. But we did notice it was pretty damp INSIDE the bnb our whole stay. There is no AC system, so the humidity builds up during the day, especially on rainy days and especially after a shower. Our clothes and the sheets/towels were damp to the touch our whole stay and smelled a little musty. An easy fix with a dehumidifier I think.

Adorable cottage overlooking a tranquil salt pond.

Cottage was clean, cozy and well equipped. Setting was quiet and beyond beautiful, yet minutes from Boothbay Harbor's shops and restaurants. Cant wait to book again. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us

Lovely little cottage in a peaceful setting

This cottage was perfect for our stay. It is comfortable, clean, nicely furnished, and well equipped. The view down to the pond is beautiful. The neighborhood is quiet and charming -- we really enjoyed being in East Boothbay, as compared to the busier and more crowded Boothbay Harbor. There are several good hiking trails in the area, and so many other interesting things to do. Highly recommend! We would happily stay here again.

Beautiful, quiet spot

This was such a peaceful spot to celebrate my birthday. We spent hours just sitting by the mill pond watching the various birds fish. There is a great little store, a bar & a restaurant within walking distance so we didn't leave our little neighborhood at all the first 2 days we were there.

This is a wonderful place to stay! The views over the pond are lovely, and the inside is furnished comfortably. It’s peaceful and away from the more touristy areas, but easy to drive to town, the beach, and hiking nearby.

Beautiful place

We had a great time staying in the cottage. It’s cozy, clean, and has everything you need for two people. But the highlight of this property is the location, right on peaceful Mill Pond. There are Adirondack chairs,a fire-pit, and a picnic table next to the lake that guests can use to relax or eat by the water. The host, Tom, was kind and responsive. Highly recommended base for a Maine vacation.

Time for R&R

Wanting a place that was located conveniently and quiet, I found this listing and knew it would be a good fit. The cottage has a wonderful view of the Mill Pond, a special place I always visit when I'm in Maine....Ocean Point is just down the road too! Bed was very comfy, the kitchen had everything I needed although I really didn't cook there because I had to visit all my favorite local restaurants and chow down on Maine lobster! The only drawback was the patio doors which did not lock properly but I understand that's on the off season list. The owners were welcoming and helpful. I'd definitely consider the cottage for my next visit home.

A little haven

Loved the proximity to Boothbay Harbor, Midcoast Maine, & points south. Mostly loved returning to this idyllic setting on Mill Pond after a day of exploring. A glass of wine surrounded by nature's tranquility was good for the soul. My only suggestion: It would be nice if some basic pantry items were provided, like salt & pepper, a few condiments, butter, etc. But we very much enjoyed our stay and have already recommended the cottage to friends.

Just what we needed

This was a beautiful place! We rented this location thinking it would be a great central hime base for places we wanted to go (and it was). We spent much more time at the property than we had planned because it was so peaceful and so much ch fun to watch the birds and other wildlife ( huge, fat porcupine!) around the mill pond. The cottage itself was sparkling clean and comfortable. We have food allergies so it was nice to be able to cook simple meals in the kitchen. (We also had an excellent dinner down there road at The Carriage House where they took our allergies seriously. ) There was a miscommunication about check in and out times but Sally and Lindsay from the property management company were fantastic to work with and everything turned out okay. 9 am is an early check out time! We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

We’ll be back!

My family and I loved everything about our stay at this cottage on Mill Pond! This was our first time in Maine and we’re already talking about coming back next year. We thoroughly enjoyed morning coffee by the pond and on the swing. It’s a short walk to the quaint General Store down the street and a short drive to the adorable Boothbay Harbor town. There is so much to do in the area but it’s also nice to come back and relax by the water or have a fire with s’mores! Thank you, Tom and Celeste, for a relaxing and fun getaway for my husband, son and me! We’ll be back!! :)

East Boothbay is lovely.

The property is a solid, dependable, clean place to stay, with a nice bedroom, bathroom, small kitchen. The large shady yard is exceptional, leading down to the water. The small village is very quaint. Walking west on Murray Hill road is a great walk with a couple public boat landings and lovely houses, well kept, with many flowers. The little general store is a one minute walk. When they are open, they have great bakery and coffee and other goods. The owners were very friendly and communicative, easy to get a hold of when we had a minor issue.
