Bay Cottage

Experience the charm of coastal Maine at Bay Cottage, a welcoming retreat perfectly situated within walking distance of downtown Boothbay Harbor. Cross the iconic footbridge to discover the bustling waterfront, local boutiques, fresh seafood restaurants, and picturesque harbor filled with boats. In the opposite direction, enjoy a leisurely stroll to Barrett’s Park, where you can take in beautiful ocean views or enjoy a refreshing swim along the shoreline. The cottage also serves as an ideal home base for exploring the region’s most beloved attractions. Spend the day wandering the spectacular Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, featuring over 300 acres of stunning gardens and walking trails, or take a scenic drive to Wiscasset, affectionately known as "The Prettiest Village in Maine," where historic architecture, charming cafés, and views of the Sheepscot River await. After a day of adventure, return to Bay Cottage and relax on the inviting screened-in porch, where cool coastal breezes create the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Inside, warm wood finishes and comfortable furnishings provide a cozy atmosphere, while the decorative stone fireplace adds classic New England character. Settle in to stream your favorite movies or simply enjoy quality time together. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, generous counter space, and everything needed to prepare delicious meals. Gather around the spacious farmhouse dining table to share dinner, plan the next day’s adventures, or enjoy a family game night. Comfortable, light-filled bedrooms and charming tiled bathrooms provide a peaceful place to unwind, while central air conditioning and a private washer and dryer add everyday convenience throughout your stay. As evening falls, the screened porch comes alive with twinkling string lights, creating a magical setting for outdoor dining. Fire up the gas grill for a fresh Maine seafood feast, then gather around the backyard firepit to roast marshmallows and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the coast beneath the stars.
