Week at the seashore

The barn was super cute - it was hotter and more humid than expected and the barn kept us cool! Location was central to everything - we walked to all our new BBH faves. We loved our stay.

Cute and cozy stay!

This converted horse barn is a charming, cozy place to stay that's close to places to eat, shopping, and the Botanical Gardens in Boothbay Harbor. It's was easy to get to, very clean, very comfortable, very quiet! We stayed for 3 nights and would certainly recommend this property for parties of 2, or a couple with 1 kiddo. We really enjoyed our stay and would rebook if in the area again.

Beautiful, cozy space - great location!!

My mom and I stayed at the Barn for four night in August on a mother/daughter vacation. We loved the place!! It’s super cozy and felt like a real home. The location is great for walking into town. We stayed in one night and cooked local seafood on the grill and told stories over wine in the living room. Ceilings going up the stairs are a little low but once you figure it out, it’s easy to navigate, even for my 75 year old mom!

Quaint cottage

The cottage was clean and cute. The location was convenient to town but not special. Our only misgiving was difficulty with the entry codes and lock box although the support team remained dedicated to troubleshooting and we ultimately prevailed. I would recommend the property for a short stay by a small group.

LOVE!

This stable turned boho-chic home was a perfect size and location. My husband and I walked everywhere besides when we drove a few hours to Acadia National Park. My only complaint is that the check-out instructions were not given to us until about an hour before our check-out time. Other than that everything was fabulous!

We found the Bayside Barn to be a wonderful place to stay at BoothBay Harbor. It is very a convenient 5 minute walk to restaurants, shops, the Footbridge across the bay and entertainment. It is well appointed with everything we needed and we would definitely stay there again.

A wonderful place to stay

We found the Bayside Barn to be a wonderful place to stay at Boothbay Harbor. It's location is perfect for walking to the downtown area for dining, shopping and entertainment. We would definitely stay there again. While the slanted ceilings were a bit challenging, we quickly got used to them. The Barn is well appointed for everything we need.

Perfect for two people wanting to spend a vacation in Boothbay Harbor. The barn is extremely cute and walkable to downtown. The bedrooms and single bathroom are upstairs, so keep in mind for any mobility issues.

Great location and comfortable spot

Great spot in the Booth Bay harbor neighborhood. Short walks to the outstanding local lobster wharf, the walkway to town, and Mama’s for breakfast. Clean and comfortable with an upstairs queen bedroom, a very small single bedroom. Bathroom is also upstairs. Great place for an active couple.

This was exactly what we hoped for! The place is clean, cozy and so easy to get around from this location. Sure you might hot your head on the stairs, but if your my height (5'5") your good! But seriously we can't wait to book again next time we come up!
