Charming Cottage on the Great Pond in Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Nestled along the shores of the private 90 acre West Harbor Pond, this quaint cottage offers the perfect escape just minutes from the heart of Boothbay Harbor, Maine. A welcoming property featuring 2 queen beds and 4 twin beds, it's the perfect place for a family or group of friends to relax, have fun, and recharge.
With direct access to the freshwater pond just feet away, you can enjoy paddle boarding, kayaking, and fishing at any time in the pristine non-tidal water. Or simply sit on the dock or deck, taking in the tranquil views of the water and sounds of bull-frogs. You'll have pine needles at your feet, leaves over your head, and the smell of smoke from the fire in the air. Though the distant sounds of a car passing by can be heard on occasion from across the water, this property is located on a private road, offering a buffer from the hustle and bustle of the tourist seaside town. Here, the sounds of bass splashing in the water and the call of loons will more often grab your attention. It's a great little spot to watch the sunset over the pond or enjoy a morning coffee while listening to the melodic songs of birds.
Inside, the cottage features cozy, coastal-inspired decor with all the comforts of home. The open living area with floor-to-ceiling windows invites you into the home and a fully equipped kitchen allows for easy meal preparation. The indoor dining area offers a scenic spot to enjoy meals with family and friends, but let's be honest - you'll want to maximize your time outdoors cooking on the propane grill, eating on the picnic table and gathering by the fire pit.
Be advised there are EXTERIOR only cameras around the property to help maintain security of the premises.
Located just a short drive from the bustling harbor, local shops, restaurants, and attractions, this cottage offers the ideal balance of peace and convenience. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, this beautiful cottage on the pond is your perfect home base for exploring all that Boothbay Harbor has to offer.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The cottage also includes a coffee maker.

We had a wonderful stay in Boothbay! I love that we could stay on the water at the pond while also being able to see the ocean. We even saw a bald eagle for the first time across the pond! The property was clean, had everything we needed (including fishing poles) and was well stocked. I would stay here again!

What a beautiful property! My family and I stayed for a few days to enjoy Boothbay Harbor and it was the perfect spot for our getaway. My toddler loved the open floor plan and being so close to the water. It was an ideal distance to downtown without being in the hecticness of it all. Highly recommend!!

A lovely cottage on one of the prettiest ponds in Maine! Easy check-in, everything we needed and more, very well appointed (thank you for so many towels) and we were quite comfortable. Tough to leave and we will be back! What a gem!

Pondside heaven

This is a beautiful cabin right on a pond. The evening we arrived gave us a spectacular sunset. The cabin was comfortable and felt special, with lots of places to sit and enjoy coffee looking out at the pond. Kids had a great time running around. We hope to come back!

Fantastic!

The location could not be better. It's right on the pond which was beautiful and great for swimming. We were just a few minutes from harbor. The cabin is spacious with a gorgeous view and everything you need to enjoy the area. We had ages 14-80 and everyone had a lovely time!

We loved our stay on the Great Pond in Boothbay Harbour. The setting is stunning, loved sipping my morning coffee over looking the pond. We brought paddle boards with us which was so much fun as well as swimming each day. The cottage is lovely and homely. We so want to return …. Vicky

This cottage was perfect for our family and we didn't want to leave! The pond (and surrounding neighborhood) is quiet and peaceful. We happened to visit during a heat wave and were perfectly comfortable with no a/c - there were multiple fans in most closets. Over all it was just a lovely home and a perfect jumping off point for exploring the surrounding area. We hope to return!

Breath taking view

This was the perfect place for our family. It was truly the most beautiful way to wake up every morning. The cabin is just as advertised. We were a little nervous about no AC or Dishwasher but it truly did not matter. Windows open and fans in the rooms worked great! We were such a short drive from everywhere in Boithbay Harbor and enjoyed all of our time on the pond. I am looking forward to coming back some day

Wedding weekend

This home is so adorable!!! Every morning I went out to sit on the private dock to enjoy my coffee and the view. I listened to a book on tape because I didn’t want to take my eye off the view! We brought our kayak and went out multiple times a day to enjoy the pond!Boothbay is super close and an easy ride. We family and I joked that everything we wanted to do was “7 minutes” away! My brother was getting married that weekend, so we didn’t do whale watching or the other options. Some of our family did and loved it. We went out to Ocean Point that is so cool too!Meredith is lovely! She left us firewood and was so responsive. We just felt right at home!!!So many beds and very comfortable. No need for A/C and lots of fans available…our family loves fans!The view!!! I can’t say enough!Every picture is either from the view on the dock or while paddling around. So peaceful!
