Why the Owner Chose Boothbay Harbor
Our great grandfather lived in the Boston area, and found a summer vacation village that he could reach in two days. Overnight steamer from Boston to Portland, ferry from Portland to Boothbay Harbor, then wagon to Bayville.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Right on the water, we enjoy the good weather brought to Linekin Bay by a prevailing Southwesterly breeze. The bay is protected, and we have great sailing, snorkeling, waterskiing, and fishing.
Or, you can relax in a rocker on the wrap around porch, and watch the day roll by.
A 20 minute walk through the coastal woods takes you to the 19th century boat building lofts and captains homes of East Boothbay

We just spent two weeks here after "the worst May we can remember"(local lobsterman)and were pleasantly surprised by warm weather and sunny skies. We hiked to Boothbay Harbor on the Appalachian Indian Trail, swam in Linekin Bay (the water actually reached 75 degrees), and ate a lobster roll a day. The only rain day we had we drove to Freeport to shop LLBean and the outlet stores. Great bargains! The cottage felt like home to us, and we're coming back next year.
