Very clean very well kept residence, makes you feel welcome. The host provide lots of information about the surrounding area, which is very helpful. Overall 10 out of 10 experience.
We had a wonderful and relaxing week in Jen and Jake's beautiful home. The house was well located; close enough to Boothbay Harbor, but also quiet enough to relax and enjoy the time we spent closer to home. It also came fully-equipped to ensure we had all the comforts of home. Jake made a number of great suggestions on what to do while we were there - Cozy's Harbor Side Restaurant was definitely a family favorite. Can't wait to visit again
An absolutely perfect home. It has everything you need. Jenn and Jake were so easy to communicate with. They shared numerous, places in the area to dine and visit during our short stay. We wish we could have extended our vacation at their lovely home. It was perfect!We have already recommended this vacation home to family and friends!
Property was recently constructed and was an exceptional floor-plan. All new appliances and beautiful walk in shower in the master BR. The property was clean and the property mgr was exceptional in corresponding to my questions. Very close to downtown Boothbay Harbor and the shops and restaurants. We had our sm-mid size dog on the trip with us. The property mgr does want to know the size of dog before you come as they don't allow large dogs. Or that's the impression I got. Will want to come again and stay longer.
We had a wonderful time enjoying Jake and Jenn's home! Loved the bright open interior and amenities as well as the deck and surrounding woods and wetlands. Lots to do close by - even in the rain. You do have to be careful walking on the road in front as can be fair amount of traffic at times; after short distance will be on quieter roads including the walk to Porters Preserve (amazing spot!).
My friend and I felt very relaxed at this house. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with most every cooking equipment needed. The host answered any question I had very quickly and supplied information about the surrounding area. It was a great place to unwind!
Thank you for a lovely stay. We biked, hiked, swam, and ate around Barters Island, Boothbay, and coastal ME. Yours is a lovely cottage with great amenities to come home to.
Cheers!

It was so nice to call this cozy house our home for a week! It had everything we needed and more! The location was was wonderful and central to so much. My son loved having the loft area as his own space. The owners of this home were very welcoming, kind and responsive! I wish we could have stayed longer! We would love to stay here again in the future!
This was a perfect getaway for us. The home was lovely and very clean. Had everything we could need/want including a sweet welcome gift from the owners. Home is exactly as described and pictured. Location is convenient to everything in the area. We gave 4 stars for location only because we couldn't walk the neighborhood as there aren't sidewalks and it's a somewhat busy road. But having said that there are endless trails and paths everywhere to walk. We visited a different one every day and there were plenty more that we didn't get to. We definitely would recommend this home and would stay here again for sure. Boothbay Harbor is a special area. We've been here several times and will return again.
Loved this little gem - perfect for two adults who wanted separate bedrooms and bathrooms. Extremely private setting, and lots of modern touches. In wonderful - new - condition.
We had a wonderful stay at the very cozy cottage. Every possible amenity was provided which speaks to the thoughtful owners concern that we thoroughly enjoy our experience. The house is perfectly situated in Boothbay which allows easy access to two of our favorite activities: hiking Boothbay Region Land Trust trails and the Maine Coastal Botanical Gardens and eating out at the fine Boothbay restaurants (although for all you cooks, the house has all state of the art appliances you could possibly ask for). All in all we had a very comfortable stay thanks to owners Jake and Jenn.
Our stay was wonderful. The cabin was very clean. Everything was provided. We enjoyed sitting around the fire on the cool evenings. Boothbay is a friendly little town. My husband and I loved hiking the trails. Jenn was very helpful providing info on where we could launch our boat. We kook forward to a return trip.
The location of this home is perfect. Close to Boothbay Harbor but far enough away for some peace and quiet. Porter Preserve, Boothbay Harbor Land Trust are beautiful with amazing views and great easy hiking.
Jenn and Jake did not miss a thing. They are great hosts. Their property has everything you could possibly need. The fire pit is a great way to end the day. We felt so comfortable and even saw a few deer. We hope to be back real soon. Thank you for a great vacation.
Felt at home while exploring a gorgeous part of Maine
The house is gorgeous. Extremely clean and well equipped. The best part for us was the beds were firm and comfortable. We slept just as good as we do at home which you donât get often when traveling. Our 8 and 6 yr old enjoyed the roomy upstairs loft all to themselves. The stairs to the loft can be tricky at first, but you get used to them. The fire pit was perfect for after dinner and we took advantage of the front porch for several meals. The stovetop was a bit tricky at first. You canât use a burner unless the pan covers the entire burner due to sensors. So if you are trying to percolate espresso the old fashion way :), it wonât work. The owners graciously leave stocked pods for the Nespresso machine.
Boothbay harbor and the surrounding towns are all lovely to explore. Our highlights were paddle boarding on Knickerbocker Lake, Ocean Point and Hendricks Head Beach.
You canât go wrong with this house or this part of Maine.
We had a wonderful weeks stay at Jenn and Jake's place. It was perfect for a family of four. The place was extremely clean and well equipped for everything our family needed to have a comfortable stay. The location was quiet and private, yet close to all the stores the area had to offer. The owners were also very responsive, and cordial, when minor problems did arise.
We had an amazing week on Barters Island near Boothbay Harbor. Great location. A pristine house with every amenity you could need. We were sad to leave!
We really enjoyed our stay at Jake and Jen's retreat on Barter Island. The property had all of the amenities of home and a wonderful open concept. This was a great place for our family of four to rest, relax and enjoy spending quality time together. Thank you for hosting us.
This was exactly what we were searching for! Perfect for our family with young children, there was plenty of room inside for games on rainy days and room to run outside. The fire pit was wonderful to gather around on the chilly nights and check out the Milky Way. We walked the trails at the Porter Preserve nightly and loved exploring the rocks and beach. The cabin is beautiful and clean with everything we needed for the week and is close enough to everything to be convenient but far enough out to be peaceful and quiet. We had an amazing time and hated to leave. Jenn and Jake you have done a wonderful job and we will definitely stay again if we return to the area.
From the time you arrive you are welcomed with high quality amenities. High quality linens, an espresso coffee machine, very comfortable bedding , and lots of personal touches to make you feel at home. Excellent location to explore all Booth at has to offer.
