About this property

Mill Pond Cottage w/ Kayaks & Boat Launch Access, pet friendly

  • Plan a relaxing seaside escape to this 3BR/2BA waterfront home in East Boothbay. With three comfortable bedrooms plus a futon, there's room for six guests.

    Go swimming or kayaking right in your backyard, or launch a boat directly across the street at the Murray Hill boat ramp.

    Take a leisurely 5-minute stroll to East Boothbay General Store, a quaint shop with groceries and homemade baked goods. For lunch, head to Lobsterman's Wharf and indulge in fresh seafood on the waterfront deck, 8 minutes from your door.

    ABOUT THE COTTAGE

    Step inside the airy sunroom, where natural light pours through picture windows and skylights. Cathedral ceilings create an open atmosphere that makes for an enjoyable social space with futon and armchair seating.

    Whip up family meals in the spacious kitchen with a full suite of appliances including a gas range and French-door fridge. Enjoy your meals around a dining table with seating for six.

    Or heat up the gas grill to prepare a barbecue and dine alfresco on the water-view deck. For dessert, roast marshmallows over the wood-burning firepit.

    Up to six guests can settle onto the inviting couch and sitting chairs in the living room to watch movies on a 40” flat screen TV with BluRay player.

    Get some rest in three comfortable bedrooms that include a queen-size master with cathedral ceilings and skylights. Unpack your bags in the full-size closet and chest of drawers, and get ready for the day in a private en-suite bath with walk-in shower.

    The second and third bedrooms offer a full bed and two twin beds respectively, and they share a guest bathroom with a tub/shower combination.

    Your stay at this coastal cottage includes access to two kayaks, WiFi, a washer/dryer, and driveway parking for up to four cars.

Wonderful stay

Location and property. Plenty of space for us all to spread out. Furnishings were comfortable. Very charming. Supplies were well stocked - everything we needed to cook. The yard was the best - fire pit, plenty of outdoor seating. Space to play in the yard, water access and great views. Very peaceful. The most amazing star gazing ever. We had a great stay and hope to stay again. The hosts even provided a lovely Thanksgiving gift for us which was much appreciated.

We Loved this Cottage

From searching this location, booking, up-to-the- minutes prestay communication, entry, vacation in the area, thru checkout we could not have had a more enjoyable stay. The spaciousness of the grounds on Mill Pond w/ample privacy, the home with it traditional charms and renovations met all of our expectations. We complement the owners and managers on the amenities, complimentary extras and the entire pet friendly experience! We will be sureto book future stays here when we will be visiting the Boothbay areas! Thank you so much for sharing your cottage with us!

Overall a lot of space, our party enjoyed the separate gaming table and having the dining and sitting area on the back sun room area most. The kayaks listed for use are children sized, so they weren’t of use to us, but we enjoyed paddle boarding. The first night we kept hearing loud sounds from the basement and in the middle of the night heard banging in the kitchen, everyone in our party was asleep and didn’t enter the kitchen at all, we were a little spooked about a ghost but it stopped the second night. Despite this, we laughed about it and enjoyed the rest of the stay and view from the back porch.

Great Property Needing Attention

Great location: very private while being a 5 min walk from delightful General Store, short drive to Boothbay Harbour.. Spacious, comfortable. Terrific screened in sunroom; very comfortable MBR. Various minor things need attention: e.g. various windows need screens, have broken shades, very hard to open; poor lighting in several rooms; double bed noisy and shot; 2 bedrooms very dark/need lighting and ceiling fans; some closet door knobs broken, MBR closet doors broken; freezer not cold enough. All MINOR REPAIRS. . VRBO manager responsive and attentive. Clearly needs more staff.....which is a problem throughout the area. If these things are attended to, it would be a great property.

A Perfect Neighborhood

The setting and the property itself are first rate. We had a fire the last night there and saw the stars. Being down the street from the general store and a close ride to downtown makes this house a great place to stay.

Wonderful setting

We enjoyed our stay very much. The home and furnishings were just a bit frayed around the edges at a few points (for example, new towels would be nice, and some of the furniture was worn), but that was more than made up for by the lovely setting, the generous lawn, the fire pit, the kayaks, and the overall ambience. The sunroom was a particular favorite. A great location for activities around the region.

4 day trip to Boothbay Harbor

Our stay was very nice. House was clean and ut had everything we needed. The only negative was you could find cobwebs in places. We travelled with 2 kids and 1 dog and they all had a great time. The backyard was amazing for both the dog and our kids to run around :)

Beautiful waterside cabin

It was lovely to stay here with my family! close to Portland and about 2 hrs 40 mins from Acadia national park. The only thing that can be improved is the hot water situation in the master bathroom shower. Minus that it's a beautiful cabin with old charm and ample space!
