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. The cottage also includes a coffee maker.

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!

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!
