The Loft... Are you looking for a quiet spot to get-away? This might be the perfect spot. This contemporary-style cottage is perched above the ocean with views that cry out to be captured on film or in another art medium. With floor to ceiling windows and a loft area, accessed by the wonderful wooden spiral staircase, you can appreciate nature’s beauty in the area. There are two small open decks for sitting out and watching the lobster men haul their traps.

This is a very private spot at the end of a strip of land that looks across Boothbay Harbor. You have access to the Juniper Point Association amenities with tennis, boat dock and beach. Boothbay also has a number of good restaurants and shops.

Amenities:
* Association/Shared Beach
* Association/Shared Dock and Float
* Fireplace, wood
* Heat
* Open Deck
* TV with VCR (Tape or CD)
* Tennis Courts a short walk away (4 clay), Association for a fee

            We absolutely loved staying at the Loft. Brad left us a nice note and a bottle of wine. The view was amazing, the place was so cute and it was very peaceful at night. We would highly recommend the Loft in Boothbay Harbor!

            Hi Brad, We just arrived home from our week at the Loft and I had to take a minute to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay! It was WONDERFUL!! It was so peaceful, just watching the boats go in and out of the harbor. We had three eagles flying overhead on a daily basis. What a great view. Our first visit to Boothbay Harbor was very enjoyable, and the food was great! We steamed some of our own lobsters which we purchased from a local lobsterman right off the boat. We also went up to Reds for lobster roll and to Kahlers for great lobster stew. The muffins from the Southport General Store were the best! We also sailed on the Eastwind which was so much fun! As you can probably tell by now that we had a great trip and hopefully we can do it again. Thank you so much! Diane and Ray B

            We love the Loft and come here every year. The location and view are spectacular. It is a short distance from town, so it is away from the crowds and noise but it is easy to get to the local amenities. There is a community dock within walking distance, so we bring our bathing suits and kayaks. The kitchen is well equipped, so we kayak or drive to the nearby wharf and get lobsters or local seafood and bring it back to cook ourselves. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby (McSeagulls is our favorite, but we also like to have lunch at Kalers and can't get enough of the ice cream at the Ice Cream Factory). There are plenty of things to do, such as sight seeing, whale watches, clam bakes, schooner sails, trips to Monhegan Island, visiting the aquarium, going to the Botanical Gardens, shopping, or just gazing at the beautiful harbor. Friends and relatives have come to visit us while we are at the Loft and they all think it is lovely, too. The owner is very helpful.

            My wife and I stayed here for a week to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We could not have picked a better place to stay than The Loft nor a better location than Boothbay Harbor. The loft is peaceful, bright, clean, and welcoming. We made several meals there using both the oven and the outside grill and it was fantastic! I would recommend The Loft for any couple or small family looking to have some privacy and solitude right on the water but minutes from an active harbor town. We would do it again in a heartbeat. A five minute drive to downtown Boothbay Harbor, and within an hour to beautiful locations like Pemaquin Point, Camden (with a great view from the top of Mt. Battie) and even closer to historic Wiscasset. Owner is great to work with and helpful with local info, and surprised us with a bottle of wine upon our arrival! Two thumbs up!

            We arrived at 3:00 yesterday with no problems on the directions. Everything was perfect and the Loft is exactly as advertised. It is wonderful and the wine was a very nice touch and appreciated. We also read the books about your mother and looked at her art work. Very impressive and special. We booked the Loft for the view and location. We had no idea of the history and have become emotionally connected with the Loft. We feel like we are staying in a friend's home and not just a rental. It feels good and right. We will try to stay here in the future if it is available. It has everything we were looking for and more.

            Dear Brad Thank you for a marvelous stay at your cottage. The view was beautiful and the home was lovely. Although the weather was off and on, depending on the day, we loved Maine and Booth Bay. Due to to your cottage, we spent most of our time simply enjoying Booth Bay and your home - never really traveled beyond. We hope to return to Maine in the future and when we do, we will see if your property is available. Thanks again. Hope we left everything in tack and good shape. P.S. Your mother was obviously most talented - my wife enjoyed reading about her and her adventures. And, her art work was gorgeous. Lyle and Sue

            Hi Brad, The Loft was the highlight of our trip!! I'm so thankful that Bruce found you on VRBO! As soon as I walked in and saw your mother's art I was touched. Bruce and I were completely taken by her books you had there to share with us. I felt so connected with her and wished that I could have met her. What a wonderful writer she was also. We, of course, couldn't finish reading them both and we were wondering if we could get copies? We were so taken that we went into Booth Bay and scoured any shops that had books asking for them and had no luck. Then we just decided to stop by the library's used book store. After I told my story to the lady behind the desk she laughed and said that Mr. Barton usually works there but she was filling in for him. What a surprise it would have been for me to launch into my long story about the Loft and your mother and have your father say that he was her husband! So, can we get copies? Let us know and we'll mail you a check. It's interesting but I couldn't keep my eyes off of the gold and white piece on the tall wall. I didn't know if it was suppose to be something but it felt so familiar. Then it came upon me all of a sudden.....for me it was a negative image of the spirals and lines of a nautilus shell. And the large spinning wheel next to it fit right in with the theme of spiraling inward...to me both were the depiction of the wheel of life and the inward journey. I love all of the special items in the house that I could tell were there when your mother did her "living" there....all of the dated things, very charming. And thank you so much for the gift of the wine! Very thoughtful of you and we really enjoyed our glass every evening. We had some friends drive down on the last night and sleep in the downstairs bedroom and they enjoyed the Loft also. What a wonderful deck and the weather was great for us to sit out and appreciate the expanse of the bay. Our home in Lino Lakes is backed up against a forest so we have a home that is tucked in and craddled. To experience the height above the water and the expansive view was very healing for us. We both felt that we would love to return, Brad. Don't forget to let us know if we can purchase your mother's books. Susan

            Brad, Donna and I have had such a relaxing and enjoyable week in this beautiful place. The view from here is awesome and we have looked out on it every morning as we ate breakfast. We feel privileged to be in your lovely cottage and would recommend this location as a vacation spot for anyone looking for a place to get away from the city and enjoy the quiet and beauty of nature. We were very comfortable here, the antiques are lovely and we particularly enjoyed the beautiful artwork. Thank you for providing such a great place for us to vacation. We are indeed appreciative. Sincerely, Bill and Donna R

            Brad, It was nice to talk with you the morning we left Boothbay Harbor. The Wondrous Loft: we immediately valued the architecture and setting, especially meaningful because of your mother's artistic and loving insights. We both thank you for allowing us to share a part of her. Our week at The Loft was truly one of our most relaxing and pleasant experiences, so different from our usual busy travel. One evening at the town library, we heard an exchange teacher from China who offered his political insight and family experiences. The galleries and shops were freshly opened for the season, the plants were beginning to blossom, and the restaurants and fresh seafood were great. Marv enjoyed our visits to two alpaca farms..... cute and furry, but not at our house! Every time we left The Loft, we wanted to hurry back to enjoy its peaceful nature. My camera easily caught that feeling, and I treasure my photos. Both Marv and I want to return again to Boothbay, but only to The Loft. Unfortunately, the week covering the end of August into September will not work for us, but we are considering the first week of October unless you have a cancellation in September which would be our first choice. I am somewhat hesitant about the October weather. Our May week was amazing: sun every day, a few minutes of rain the last evening, good temps. We would definitely like to schedule a week in '09 the end of May or early June. When do you consider reservations for next year? Wishing you pleasant times in Boothday this summer, Judith and Marvin J
