Lovely house with great wraparound porch and gorgeous plants & trees. The lilacs, which I love, were blooming which was absolutely delightful - so aromatic and beautiful! The bed was very comfy and the view of the town and water was joyful. There's a lovely art gallery, used bookstore, and plenty of dining options nearby. A very sweet couple manages the inn and they're excellent cooks - Captain Sawyer's breakfast was beyond delicious - one day it was just me and they served huevos rancheros and posette - incredible! ...The kitchen is down the hall from the rooms so if you wish there are opportunities for social time. The only thing that I'd recommend as a future update - as with many stately old New England homes, the bathroom could use a refresh - including some new caulking.

Disliked: Amenities
Plus: The property is very convenient to Boothbay Harbor. Negative: Our room lacked a closet and some minor things, which we had to go get after asking. Access by very steep stairs was risky for a person with any disability. The price was very high for what was provided. Nice couple managing.

The location of the property is excellent. Nice to have private parking at the property because parking in Boothbay harbor is a nightmare! The staff is very helpful and kind. The room size was small and for the price we paid I expected a larger room. The breakfast offerings were fantastic!

We were so happy to have found this gem right on Commercial Street with a view of the bay from our room. There is a dedicated parking lot behind the inn with restaurants and shops so close that we were able to just walk everywhere downtown. Our room had a separate entrance so we could walk out to sit on the pretty porch whenever we wanted. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed and even a little refridgerator. The bathroom was small, understandable for a large old home; however, it could have stood a little sprucing up. The breakfast was amazing. The stay here was worth it just for that alone! And making our it even nicer was the friendly, helpful staff. We're definitely coming again. Save us the Stephen Tabor room!
