Peaceful Lake Waterfront! Automatic backup Generator! Full Kitchen! Heat & A/C

Come enjoy the peaceful tranquility of this lakefront retreat just 5 minutes from the quaint seaside shops and restaurants of Boothbay Harbor or 8 minutes from the Botanical Gardens! The rental is a private, bright, spacious, separate apartment in the lower level of the home with its own entrance, tall 9-ft ceilings, and LOTS of windows and glass to see the beautiful water and sunsets from each room with heat and air conditioning. Enjoy star gazing, fishing, swimming, or choose out of our mix of tandom or single kayaks to explore the mile-long lake waters.

Walk out the French doors to the stone patio or grass and listen to the loons and the wind in the trees, watch the sun sparkle off the lake, or take the short path that leads down the hill to the private dock with swim ladder and take a dip, lay out on a towel in the sun, sit on Adirondack chairs on the lakeside deck, or perch on a wooden swing near the water's edge.

The large bedroom includes a queen-sized memory foam bed and a single daybed situated nicely to look out over the water. Other guests may choose the couch/chaise in the den with self serve hideaway queen size cool gel memory foam bed.

The unit has a small but nicely equipped kitchen with appliances including stove, oven, microwave, coffee makers, steamer, instantpot and blender for your convenience and some common spices.

Bathroom has dual sinks and tub/shower combination.

Enjoy a private entrance on the water side of the home, a space separated from owner’s part of the house by a locked door, heat and air conditioning on it's own Nest zone, and parking for 1 vehicle (or 2 if we have advanced notice and squish). WIFI and Sling TV on a smart TV included. Sling is a channel app for the TV that operates through Roku. Games and puzzles line the closet shelves to encourage an unplugged experience.

Property is located on a quiet dead-end road that leads to sidewalks into town. The beautiful oceanfront route to town takes only 5 minutes to drive in a car or about 20 if walking. This is a great starting location for exploring the rest of the Boothbay region as well! Take in area walking trails, choose a boat tour to see picturesque islands and lighthouses, take a dip in the ocean from one of the area's rocky beaches, or see the nearby Botanical Gardens.

Whole house automatic backup generator assures very little chance of being without power.

The main part of the home is a part-time vacation retreat for the owners and the price of the rental is lower than market value which reflects the possibility that you may occasionally hear signs of life from the rest of the house, but don’t worry! Many of our great 5 star reviews were from weeks we were present. Welcome!

A Perfect Place to Stay!

If you plan to visit Boothbay Harbor, you won't find a better place! The lakefront property is very close to town but offers a quiet location in a private neighborhood. Beautiful and bright interior in a natural setting. One of the best places I've stayed at. Great for kayaking and fishing too!

Our peaceful getaway

This is our second stay at Wendy and Jim’s place. Once again it didn’t disappoint. The place is beautiful, quiet, and has everything you need. We enjoyed as much time by the water as we could taking in the Eagles, loons and the occasional seagull communal bath!! It’s so close to town that one could probably walk if they were energetic, but that’s not us. Once again my sister and her fiancé joined us for a few days because they also love it there. Would highly recommend for those that want a relaxing stay. Wendy and Jim are awesome to deal with.
Got a pretty good photo of a Loon stretching.

Quiet & Enjoyable

Just as the title says.....we wanted to get away (just the two of us) for a long weekend where it was quiet and we'd have the ability to reconnect. This location was perfect for us. Beautiful lake in the backyard, no street noise, very clean, just perfect. Easy ride into town, great location.

Our stay was amazing! The house and the entire property were perfect - everything was so beautiful, and so well put together. Wendy really thought of everything that someone might need while staying at her place. The lake access was amazing, and the surrounding landscape was so peaceful and serene. The town was only five minutes away, and was so fun to explore. We highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a nice peaceful getaway!

Perfection!

We loved our brief stay at this property! We lacked for nothing: every kitchen, bed or bath item we desired was already onsite. It was perfectly clean and well-decorated, a peaceful location, and came with useful renter guides and maps. The property owner was available for any questions and responded quickly. We truly loved this rental!

Wendy's place was serene, and immaculate! Every one of us enjoyed this place. From the kayaks to the fishing or just enjoying the peacefulness from sunup to sundown this place was wonderful! The cottage was so cute and quaint with beautiful decor, the shower felt like a massage! Wendy was so kind and accommodating. The amenities of this place exceeded our expectations. We will definitely return to visit, and definitely recommend to others as well! Five star everything!
