If guests are visiting in the winter, the annual Gardens Aglow event shows the Peninsula in a festive new light.

A perfect spot

This cozy dome home at the end of the road was the perfect spot for our stay in Boothbay. We especially loved the light filled and spacious living room for gathering and games. Eating dinner on the deck was divine. It's close proximity to the botanical gardens was another bonus. We will definitely stay here again.

Dome House Was Great for Dog Vacation

The house was perfect for our little barkers because it was secluded and comfortable. The BRLT trails are great and so many within a 20 mi radius. Maine is already very dog friendly.

Secluded home with peace and tranquility

This was my second visit to the dome house and we had a great time again. This home is secluded and peaceful while still close to Boothbay Harbor shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the outside fire pit every evening.

Perfect little getaway

This home is situated close to dozens of preserves with hiking trails of all sorts (ocean front, pine forest, steep and challenging). It sits on a tidal river that our dog just loved. The forest near the home also has some fun, short hiking available in it. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely go back to this charming little area!

Feels secluded yet so close to town

The house was so charming, clean, and comfortable. We couldn’t have found a better place to stay during our visit to the Boothbay area. The Dome House is off the beaten track, right on a tidal river, which made every day and every hour a new private view. Be sure to schedule time to simply be. This is the perfect house for it!

Sweet and quiet stay

The property was lovely. At the end of a quiet road, overlooking the water, the dome house was a lovely. It was an excellent home base to enjoy booth bay. Also being minutes from the botanical garden was awesome, we ended up going twice.

A Happy Place

Sitting on the deck watching the tide go in and out, breathing in the forest and the sea, cooking meals in the open kitchen, playing games in the den on rainy days, walking the dog on Tamarack trail, kayaking around the islands, walking to the general store on Hogdon island, chatting with the neighbors…..

Off the beaten trail

If you want the true maine coastal cottage experience this is it, although it had more conveniences than are strictly necessary, like the dishwasher. At the end of the road, its best calling card is the peace and quiet. What a place for contemplation and relaxation!

Quiet and relaxing setting!

We really enjoyed the sense of calm and beauty at this cottage by the cove. The deck had a great view, the trees were lovely and provided shade, and the surrounding area was conducive to R&R. We also thought the mattresses were super-comfortable. Thank you!

Amazing birthday getaway for my girlfriend.

Simply just sitting out on the porch is beyond relaxing and peaceful.. never mind the views and wildlife! Our dog Oakley also enjoyed his stay and loved wandering the woods! We also visited Botanical Gardens, did some Lazy Jack Sailing, Barrett Park, and lots of restaurants, ice cream and cute gift shops! We WILL be back for sure!

Nice quiet house

The house was very clean and quiet at the end of a dirt road. It overlooked a tidal inlet off of the river. We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water. The house was close to town, groceries etc. There were neighbors across the inlet but they were quiet. The beds were comfortable. I would enjoy staying there again.

Short Stay in Our Favourite Area

The unit was pleasant and the bed was extremely comfortable, even the pillows. The Living Room Furniture leaves alot to be desired, expecially as we are older adults., and want to comfortable during the evening! Otherwise, it was a good place to hang out while visiting our family and where we got married 5 years ago (Spruce Point Inn).

Beautiful Secluded Cabin Close To Boothbay Harbor

Beautiful cabin in great location! Overall we loved our stay here, we chose this as a central location, so we could travel around Maine but we really enjoyed Boothbay Harbor too which had great restaurant and Shoppes. The cabin is very secluded and had beautiful view of the water. The only complaint I would have was the linens bedding and towels) could have been nicer. The mattress was a little uncomfortable. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely book the dome house again..
