Private dock on Sheepscot River Minutes from town & Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens!

Enjoy a peaceful waterfront getaway at Samoset Cottage, a private and secluded retreat overlooking the beautiful Sheepscot River. This spacious, single-level home offers three bedrooms, one full bathroom, and one half bath, making it a wonderful spot for families and friends looking to relax and enjoy the Maine coast. Tucked away in a quiet setting but still just minutes from downtown Boothbay Harbor and the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Samoset Cottage offers the best of both worlds.

One of the highlights of this property is its private dock and float, offering a wonderful place to launch a kayak or canoe, enjoy the water, or simply sit back and take in the views. If you`re lucky, you may even spot great blue herons fishing along the shoreline or seals popping up just off the dock during your stay!

Inside, the cottage has a comfortable, homey feel with plenty of space to relax and spend time together. While it may not have all the modern finishes of a newer home, it has a welcoming, lived-in charm that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy your time away. The large sunroom is a great spot for family games, reading, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. The fully equipped kitchen has seating for six, and there`s also a picnic table outside where you can enjoy meals while watching the osprey circle overhead.

Outside, the expansive lawn offers plenty of room for a game of catch, croquet, or simply stretching out with a good book. With beautiful river views, passing boats, and plenty of wildlife to watch, there`s no shortage of ways to enjoy the outdoors.

Across the water, the end of Indiantown Island features walking trails maintained by the Boothbay Region Land Trust, adding even more opportunities to explore the natural beauty of the area.

With its private setting, beautiful waterfront views, and own dock and float, Samoset Cottage is a wonderful place to unplug, enjoy the water, and experience a quieter side of the Boothbay region.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We noted a small issue when we first arrived and they immediately sent someone over to fix it.The location was fantastic, with water views. Having three bedrooms and two bathrooms made the visit great for us, as we were traveling with our 90 year old mother. Also having only a couple steps up into the house mattered.Overall wonderful and would stay again!
