Adorable cabin located on a very peaceful cove.

All I can say what our vacation was truly one of the best. We loved our little cabin even though it didn't have a dishwasher or a washer/dryer. But that didn't bother us as we were allowed to bring our two Australian Shepherds. I think they loved the vacation as much as we did. The cabin is so quaint and the view was amazing. Just sitting on the deck at sunrise while drinking my coffee was so picturesque and very tranquil. I brought my paddleboard and paddled just about everyday. I would highly recommend it and we are definitely going back next year.

Beautiful cottage with great views

This cottage is very well maintained, beautifully appointed and equipped. We did have trouble with the tv and would have appreciated information on using the heating as it got quite cold in the evenings. With no thermostat or directions, we had.a few cold evenings before we figured it out. No contact info provided.

Absolute Gem Maine Cabin

The Boathouse cabin is a quaint, authentic Maine Cabin with all modern amenities just as advertised (and more). The setting on Townswend Gut offers so much tranquility, beautiful views, and easy proximty to Boothbay Harbor. We sat on the dock for hours watching boats pass, gulls play, and at times absolute quiet. The kitchen is well equipped and all seating, grill, firepit, etc. were easy to use. Communication with property manager was fantastic. Its an easy 5 minute walk to Robinson Wharf where we ate lobster and had evening cocktails watching boats and enjoying the cool air. Our small dog joined us and loved the dock. We absolutely plan to return to the Boathouse in the future.

Great Cottage in Southport Overlooking the Water

We had a wonderful time in this cute little cottage that overlooks the water. The setting is private, with the cottage nestled among the pine trees, making it private and quiet. The deck is a wonderful place to sit with coffee in the a.m. and watch the lobster boats head out. We spent a lot of time out there! The cottage is very cozy and furnished beautifully with a well appointed kitchen. We look forward to returning!

Place is great. Nice cabin. Great location— just down the street from Robinson, the best restaurant in town. Only thing missing was a kayak or canoe to use.

Even better than it looks!

This sweet classic boathouse is even better than it looks. Location is spectacular, and the cottage is outfitted perfectly. Beds are very comfortable, kitchen is well-equipped, furniture inside and out is also very comfortable. The combination of old, classic features - the pine paneling, wood floors, original door latches inside and the new - bathroom fixtures and entire new kitchen, make this a delightful, comfortable place to stay.

Loved it.

Our stay was pure heaven. The cottage is cozy, comfortable and cute with beautiful views. It has old Maine charm with and updated kitchen and bath-perfect. The kitchen was well appointed with everything a cook would need. The gas outdoor fire pit and smores makings were a nice touch. The location was ideal, quiet and relaxing, yet 2.5 miles from the Boothbay Harbor bustle. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and watching the many osprey fish and the tide go up and down for hours on end. Only negative was that the parking was challenging with our full-size SUV, but with a highly skilled parker, we managed. Loved it. We'll be back.

Just fabulous

The photos don’t do justice to this cabin on the water. Inside or out the accommodations were better than expected. The only thing missing was a washer and dryer, but the rest was move-right-in perfect. I would definitely stay again. Love it.

Labor Day Week

Cozy cottage with enough room for four adults over the long weekend. My husband and I stayed on for the rest of the week. May have been too crowded for four an entire week. Kitchen had all we needed. Made good use of deck and dock where daughter and friend paddle-boarded. Good place for bird watchers: osprey visited a couple times. Easy trip to Booth Bay Harbor, Wiscasset, Freeport.

Summer week vacation

Check in process was confusing. Email sent stating must check in at office. Office not located at sent address because they had moved. When correct office located it was closed. Drove directly to cottage and door was open as stated in original email. Cottage met our expectations and location was great for lots of activities. Enjoyed the beautiful view on back deck. WiFi was spotty and weak signal. Parking for more than one vehicle was problematic.

Amazing spot, amazing cottage, amazingly well kept

It’s our second summer staying at the Classic Boathouse. Once again, it was an amazing experience. Couldn’t ask for a better spot or a more comfortable cottage. We recommend this place 100%.

Very nice

The cottage was very nice and all features worked well, e.g. shower, oven , stove and gas grill. One comment is the full bed was not real comfortable. Also, the living room area needs more comfortable seats. That said the house , was well maintained and the views were great. We had lots of boat traffic , which we enjoy. We also had a bald eagle making an appearance several days. I would stay there again.
