Old Farm House
It's fine as long as you go into it with the understanding that it's an old farm house that has been marginally mantained a not updated. A corner of the property has a water view which is pretty. After hours communication with the management company was slow. We stayed because it was one of the last available properties on a holiday weekend but would not go back.

Charming old house
Our party of 8 enjoyed our stay. The house is well equipped and stocked to get you started. Conveniently located to town and the Botanical Gardens. Plenty of outside space for kids to run around and play. It has a beautiful view of the cove but is very rocky. This didn't stop us from hunting hermit crabs and catching fish. The house is old but that gives it the Maine charm.

Lovely long weekend in Autumn
The title and description are spot on, this is a vintage home with every amenity we needed for a long weekend exploring Damariscotta and Boothbay Harbor. We only needed 3 bedrooms, so did not use the bunk beds tucked into the first floor alcove, and planned to spend most of our time out & about. It was a perfect location for us.

Classic Boothbay Cottage
Great location close to town with great view of lobster cove. some of the furniture needs updates the lift chair has a short circuit and gets stuck in up position. the other upholstered chair should be replace or at lest a slip cover quote dirty. Trash is an issue, prior tenants has lobster and barrels were full. a trash bin to hold barrels would be a big plus since animals got into the trash.

Disappointed
We knew the home was older when we booked, which was fine, but it was very cluttered with unnecessary and unusable furniture and other “things”. It was not very clean. There were dust balls everywhere. Although the towels may have been clean they smelled like cigarette smoke and perfume, thankfully there was a washer and dryer and we washed them all. I think the most disappointing and misleading thing was that the water access is treacherous and not really usable. There is no landing at the bottom of the steps seen in the pictures. The steps are steep and crooked and at the bottom (if the tide is out) are jagged rocks and seaweed. We brought kayaks but only used them twice because it was quite difficult and dangerous to launch from the house. This area was not swim-able. I took my kids to a small park down the road to do that. It’s sad because this could be an absolutely beautiful house and property

Wonderful old house close to town
Downtown Boothbay is a perfectly manageable walk, the town swimming hole is even closer, and the house has a stair down to the water, where you can put in a kayak or paddleboard. We were six people (me and wife, in laws, and two teenage kids). We were not cramped, had a great time over three nights. House is not young, but it's in good condition, has a lot of character. No real neighbors to worry about, nice lawn, we saw a family of mink, went kayaking, ate lobster, shopped in boothbay harbor, had a great time.

Just What We Hoped!
We loved this older charmer! The house gave us the feeling of visiting Aunt Anna or our grandparents place. The rooms were comfortable for us and roomy enough for all of us to be together or find our own space. The quiet of early Spring, the nice lawn and the ocean were all what we needed to get together and recoup. Thank you to the staff at Vacassa and the owners of this property. We noted there was likely someone of Finnish heritage I am half Finn and it was fun to share stories about Finland with my friends.

Frustrated
When we arrived, I was taken aback. The pictures on line did not portray the true reality of the house. The pictures were taken with a wide angle lens making the rooms appear larger than they were. The dining room table was our favorite place!!! We basically used the house as a place to sleep which it was adequate. We loved Boothbay Harbor and exploring Maine. I attempted to find out why the fees and expenses regarding the house were NOT given before committing to the property. They were almost as much as what was on the picture as the nightly rate. No where did it say that there would be additional costs. I never received a response to either email. The house was adequate but not portrayed honestly.

Peaceful Vibe
It’s a comfortable century old home with antique doors and windows . A lot of character.We loved the porch and the dining room best of all. . The porch view is awesome if your on the side or at the picnic table as you can see the cove. Steep ,rickety stairs lead down to this cove, but kids really don’t care. They just need a lot of supervision. It is a peaceful and very functional place .

Wonderful Visit
We had a wonderful long Labor Day weekend. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. We spent most of our time on the porch which had a view of the water. We were able to rent a kayak for a few days and go out exploring the area. The property does not have a dock but has stairs down to a small rocky beach where we could store the kayak. The house has three comfortable upstairs bedrooms and one very small room with bunk beds on the first floor.

Long weekend
We very much enjoyed our stay on Lobster Cove Rd. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, but is so close to town that you can zip in and out. You can even walk if you’re up for a bit of a hike. The house is well stocked with everything you need. It is an older property, but very charming. We enjoyed coffee on the porch every morning. My only complaint is about the water access. It’s down a very steep wooden staircase without a dock or landing at the bottom. But once we were down their even my teenagers enjoyed looking around, especially when the tide was out.
