Lovely cabin off the beaten trail with lots of privacy but close to amenities. We loved settling in each evening and waking up to read on the patio by the water after the days activities! Perfect space to visit botanical gardens, Permaquid beach park and Reid state park with amazing restaurants for dinner in Boothbay each night. Maine is serene and beautiful and this cabin was a perfect place to enjoy it!

Great stay in East Boothbay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cabin in East Boothbay! The house was well equipped for our week away (kitchen essentials, cozy furniture, lots of spots to sit and view the river from) and treated us so well. Would recommend!

This was our second visit to Peter’s lovely cabin. The location is perfect. The waterfront views are beautiful and there is lots of comfy outdoor seating. The kitchen is well stocked and appliances are new. The location is convenient to a supermarket and to downtown Booothbay. Lots of good restaurants nearby. The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens are a must see! Peter is a wonderful host and we will return for sure.

Peaceful

We had a great week staying in this cabin. Property was clean and had everything you needed for the week. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were nice. The area is quiet, no issues sleeping with the windows open. Thank you Peter for sharing your cabin with us.

Extraordinarily beautiful and unique waterfront cabin!

Peter’s cabin on Meadow Cove is absolutely charming, cozy and comfortable! The location on the water is stunning with lovely sunrise/sunset colors and fantastic birdwatching! We found it very relaxing and rejuvenating. The cabin has all the necessities and more - comfy beds with wonderful linens, well stocked kitchen and a beautiful patio. Highly recommend!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the rustic, but very charming log cabin that Peter has created! Everything he has done is tasteful and supports comfort and respite from the hectic lives we live in a city. Peter is very considerate and enjoyable! We will definitely be back!

Amazing stay at a beautiful log cabin at water’s edge in East Boothbay.

We loved sitting at water’s edge with our coffee in the morning or reading a book in the afternoon. The cabin had everything we needed - the fireplace was wonderful. Peter was a caring host. What more could one ask for. It was a wonderful experience. We will come back.

The Best

We’ve stayed at the cabin five times. I can’t think of anything that would make the experience better — other than more time there. We spend most of our vacation on the patio or the deck, reading and looking our at the Damariscotta River. Most relaxing time of the year. And Peter is a wonderful host

Rustic long cabin with very nice interior decorating.

Kitchen was well supplied with basics, but we noticed that the refrigerator was not quite cleaned out and the kitchen drawers needed a thorough cleaning. The beds and bedding also need to be replaced with new mattresses. The owner seems very willing to comply with guest feedback and he is attentive and welcoming.

Everything That Was Advertised And More

The owner was cordial, cooperative, and never intruded. The interior of this authentic log cabin had charm and character. It was ideally situated on the property to have commanding views of the river. We observed a variety of waterfowl and even a few harbor seals. Overall, it was a very private, quiet and peaceful way to vacation.

Beautiful and Peaceful Cabin on the water

This was one of our favorite stays in Maine. The property was in a very quiet location yet a short drive to Boothbay center. It was a beautiful, well decorated cabin. It was fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The view was incredible. We saw may seals that were fun to watch from the patio. It was a perfect place to kayak. We loved that we could walk a short distance (less than 1mile) to the General store. Peter was a great host.

7th Year of Serenity

And we're looking forward to our eighth. Everything about this log cabin on the river is right. Peter is a gracious host. The guy you'd want for a neighbor back home. The property is immaculate. The view from porch and patio is blissful. The neighborhood is quiet, but groceries, dining and sightseeing are nearby. Mostly, though, we just love to sit with the river in view, read and talk.

Boothbay Trip

The cabin was wonderful. It was a little chilly the first night. But Peter was great and brought a couple of heaters over. The cabin has a wood burning fireplace. Peter supplied a lot of wood for it. Which we did use it all. Sorry Peter. Great location for visiting the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and Boothbay. And we got to see the Northern Lights with the naked eye! The highlight of the trip! Would definitely stay again!

Best VRBO In Maine Hands Down

My stay at this oceanfront cabin in Maine was absolutely fantastic! The cabin itself is beautiful and cozy, with all the amenities you could need for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. The location is unbeatable, right on the ocean and only 15 minutes from the charming downtown of Boothbay. We loved waking up to the stunning ocean views every morning and spending our days exploring the nearby attractions. The cabin was immaculately clean and well-maintained, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. This was one of the best vacations we've ever had, and we can’t wait to return. If you're looking for a peaceful and picturesque retreat, this cabin is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

One of the best properties in the Boothbay Region. Excellent Host who attends to all the details needed for an enjoyable stay, including a full rack of firewood to burn in the fireplace. This was our second stay and we can’t wait to return!

We have stayed at this wonderful log cabin for you over a period of five years. We keep coming back because it’s very charming, rustic and on the banks of the Damariscotta River. We like the seclusion and the wonderful view, entertained constantly by a huge variety of birdlife! It’s a place to truly relax!
