Sweet and quiet stay
The property was lovely. At the end of a quiet road, overlooking the water, the dome house was a lovely. It was an excellent home base to enjoy booth bay. Also being minutes from the botanical garden was awesome, we ended up going twice.

Nice quiet house
The house was very clean and quiet at the end of a dirt road. It overlooked a tidal inlet off of the river. We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water. The house was close to town, groceries etc. There were neighbors across the inlet but they were quiet. The beds were comfortable. I would enjoy staying there again.

Property was outstanding, clean , well equipped a great find. Only little feedback would be that older renters would appreciate access to “normal” TV

Beautiful Secluded Cabin Close To Boothbay Harbor
Beautiful cabin in great location! Overall we loved our stay here, we chose this as a central location, so we could travel around Maine but we really enjoyed Boothbay Harbor too which had great restaurant and Shoppes. The cabin is very secluded and had beautiful view of the water. The only complaint I would have was the linens bedding and towels) could have been nicer. The mattress was a little uncomfortable. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely book the dome house again..

PICTURES ARE DECIEVING
Thank God we brought our own toilet paper, I guess one role should last for 4 nights/5 days? Floor was dirty alone with dog drool all over the sliding glass door, dog hair and on the cough/pillows! The deck was filthy. And by the way we cover the cough with a sheet for our dog!!! No instruction for heat/AC! The water looked great when the tide was in, looked real gross when it was out! The cleaning charge should be credited, my 10-year-old grandson son could have done a better job! . Will never use VRBO again and definitely never stay at the Dome House again!!!

Late October Weekend
Beautiful spot, secluded yet easy to get into Boothbay Harbor. Convenient location for many of the Nature Preserve trails. The house was clean and comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen wares(pots, pans etc) was wonderful. Enjoying a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the cove and watching the birds was relaxing and exactly what we needed. We would book this house again.

Dome in the woods
Cute, interesting house in the woods. Very workable kitchen, nice new bath. As others mentioned the couches are not the most comfy, the tv will only stream so bring your logins and passwords for watching. Heating worked well to warm things up in mid October for us. There are other heaters/AC/dehumidifiers that could use some instruction on how/when to use.

Near Maine Coastal Botanic Garden
Convenient location for Boothbay activities, especially the Botanical Garden; yet a quiet and private retreat. Totally removed from light pollution -- so great star-gazing.

OK, but needs work….
Other than the fact that no lights worked in the kitchen, it was an adequate rental. Everything else was as advertised.
