Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose East BoothbayWe chose the area of the Boothbay region for it’s uniqueness: we are a community of boat builders, fishermen, beautiful islands, rocky shoreline with some sandy beaches, unusual seabirds, a gorgeous new Botanical Gardens, quaint shops, great restaurants for unusual dining of fresh seafood along with standard fare, lots of wonderful hiking trails, and lovely conservation areas.
The Unique Benefits at this HouseWhen we had our home built on the coast in East Boothbay 19 years ago, we added a unique benefit in the form of an “in-law” apartment for Eleanor’s Mom. After she passed on, we decided it would be fun to share our wonderful world here with those who have never seen the Maine Coast, or those who love it the way we do! The apartment has been updated with new furnishings, kitchen appliances etc. and we delight in taking our guests off-shore in our 32 ft lobster-style yacht to see the islands, quaint coves, lighthouses, and harbors.

Known as Eleanor & Pete Yes, we retired here in Maine and drove local school busses. Pete’s job before he retired included extensive travel throughout North America and other countries. Eleanor was a stay at home Mom with a lot of interesting part time jobs such as dog officer, welcome wagon hostess, school bus driver ( 36 years wow! ), newspaper reporter, and dog groomer. We sold our two acre 200 year old farm in MA to retire to Maine and built a new home in the heart of the Mid Coast, and we love it here and want to have you enjoy it too..

My husband & I had a wonderful experience during our stay. It was even more charming in person than website. Immaculate accomodations, what a great asset. The attention to detail, made it feel like home away from home. Eleanor & Pete were very gracious. They were there ready to guide you if you had any questions, but never intrusive. The perfect hosts. We are looking forward to returning and staying at this location in the beautiful state of Maine. Thank you Eleanor & Pete for your hospitality.

We spent 74 days touring the US and Canada. Of all the places we stayed, this was the BEST. We stayed a week and didn't want to leave. It's perfect: located in a private home in a quiet wooded area. The apartment included everything we needed. It's so private that we never locked our door. Pete and Eleanor are wonderful people. They took us out for a day on the water on their boat. If we come back to Boothbay we will stay here. If it's booked, we'll change our plans so we can.

Owners were extremely personable, pleasant and helpful. The unit itself was beyond our expectations. Everything was immaculate and well maintained. Pete and Eleanor were excellent at providing local knowledge. Will return next year.

My husband and I were treated to a week's stay with Pete & Eleanor in August 2010, and were beyond pleased with our stay.. only wish we had booked two weeks instead ! They're gracious folks, and very helpful with info on local excursions. The setting is lovely, within short distance to the water and Boothbay Harbor. The beds were quite comfy, and although we had bought bottled water at a nearby grocery the first day, we ended up loving their well water so much, we just refilled the old bottles. Lots of fresh and delicious seafood abounds, and a big hit with us was the East Boothbay General Store for take out sandwiches ( the 'Linekin' was my favorite ) Also, the lobster bisque was THE best we've ever had...and we know our seafood, friends! In fact, we were so impressed with our lovely hosts, and the beauty of the area, that we have decided to scout out a little place where we can park our boots when we retire. Truly a gem !! Almost hate to let this secret out.. Pete and Eleanor, many thanks for making this one of our best vacations ever.. we consider you both our 'maine friends'.
