THIS OCEANFRONT HOUSE: This home was built in the late 1800's as an Inn for the Eastern Steamship company. It features a spectacular wrap-around porch on three sides with beautiful sunset views over Linekin Bay and Cabbage Island.  People also love to gather in the kitchen which has an island in the middle and several bar stools for eating or just "gathering together" to cook and talk and enjoy time with each other.

First floor: Here you will enjoy the well-equipped kitchen, formal dining room, large living room and 3/4 bathroom (shower). The large spacious kitchen is well equipped for preparing big meals with two coffee makers, two refrigerators, and an additional freezer plus an island for socializing, the kitchen is large enough for folks to ‘hang out’ while preparations are underway. The living room has a brick fireplace and several furniture groupings offering plenty of space for conversations and indoor activities such as puzzles, board games, and WiFi. Mementos from the current owners as well as historic pieces from over a century of visitors, this cottage welcomes you to come right in and make your own memories!
Second Floor: Features one full bathroom and four bedrooms: The Lilac Room has a King bed, gracious lilac wallpaper, and soothing furnishings. This room is for morning people with views over the terrace and lawn.
The Nautical Room has a Queen bed and just enough nautical touches to have you dreaming of adventures on the high seas. Lace curtains frame views of Linekin Bay and Cabbage Island.
The Butterfly Room has Two Twin Beds. Hand-painted butterflies' flitter about the walls of the room creating a soothing oasis of whimsical magic with beautiful touches adding to the charm.
The Shorebird Room has One Single Bed and one Double Bed. Hand-painted art depicts life-size images of local birds and their habitat. Civil War era furniture and appointments add beauty to this incredible room.
Third Floor: Also has one full bathroom and four bedrooms: The Garden Room, with two single beds, is complete with a white picket fence around the hand-painted garden circling the room. Little bunnies, birds, ladybugs and more make delightful roommates!
The Harry Potter Room, with two Twin beds, is a wizard’s delight with all manner of secret magic paraphernalia. Should the need to look up a potion recipe arise, a set of the books is on hand!
The Portrait Room, with two Twin beds, is replete with red and blue roses on the walls and carpet with white blankets making this room the perfect haven for the patriot in your group.
The Soldier’s Room, with two Twin beds and tin soldiers marching wallpaper, will inspire child-hood nostalgia you will want to share with your grandkids!

THE GROUNDS
The grounds cascade in tiers from above the house down to the water. A gas BBQ and cook-out area with picnic tables are great for outdoor grilling and provide the perfect venue for an old-fashioned lobster bake. Croquet, horseshoes and badminton games are available. There is a swing set for small children!

THE PORCH
An enclosed porch wraps around three sides of the house with glass and screen windows letting in the sunshine, sea breezes, and amazing views! White wicker furniture with nautical-inspired cushions leads from one seating arrangement to the next. Dining tables, a foosball and Ping-Pong table along with games, puzzles, a reading library and DVD’s will provide hours of endless entertainment. In the evening, warm lighting and salty air lend a festive ambiance for music, games, storytelling, and gathering together.

THE DOCK & FLOAT
Extending out into Linekin Bay, the low tide depth of the float is 10’.  Bring your kayaks and boats or rent them in Boothbay Harbor. Sturdy Adirondack chairs on the dock are perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails or just to enjoy the cool afternoon breezes. Swim, sunbathe or fish from the float. One deep water mooring is also available, ask for details. Bring your own boat, or rent one. No boats are provided per the insurance company.  The dock is shared with the Owners who come and go from their boat.
