Om overnatningsstedet

PRIS REDUCERET Charmerende 5BR Waterfront Cape på 15 hektar stor ejendom

Kom væk fra det hele .... fange din ånde.

Seks miles fra travlheden Boothbay Harbor er et fredeligt vandretrætsområde, kaldet Bold Colorful Life, indstillet blandt rullende marker, slingrende stenvægge og rige farvede flerårige haver ........ forestil dig et sted, der fremkalder dine mest kære minder. .. og bringer din ferie drømme til fed farverige liv ....
Den fede farverige livs ejendom består af fire bygninger i New England-stil: den største bondgård og den historiske 200-årige Homer Jones-laden; et centralt beliggende havehus, omgivet af haver; en charmerende, renoveret 1800-tals Cape og Gallery Barn.

The Antique Cape kombinerer ny bekvemmelighed med sin historiske arv, med en udvendig ombrydes veranda og kviste, og en privat tilbage dæk med fantastisk udsigt over den skyggefulde skov, hjemsted for den reclusive Lady Slipper, æbleplantage og Gallery Barn. Indenfor første sal rummer en behagelig, fuldt udstyret køkken, spisestue og stue, alle afsted med det oprindelige græskar fyrretræ gulve, og indrettet med antikviteter. Der er også en første sal soveværelse, den granat, der har en fuld størrelse seng, og eget bad. Den granat og stuer vender ud mod gårdhaven, stuehus og floden. En hyggelig computer krog i toppen af ​​trappen står også over gården og er en af ​​de bedste steder at afhente WiFli.
På anden sal er der fire ekstra soveværelser med tre private bade. The Ruby Peridot suite, en dronning seng i Ruby værelse, med en beskyttelse af privatlivets fred-shaded fransk dør, der fører ind i Peridot, twin værelse, deler Ruby Peridot bad.
Den Turkis, med en fuld eg kane-seng, står over Tilbage River Road til ni acres af skove, også med eget bad.
Og den tredje, Butterscotch Amber soveværelset, med to enkeltsenge, eget opholdsstue og med det unikke bad med både clawfoot badekar og bruser.

Wake til fuglesang i æbletræerne og tidlig morgen tåge på Back-floden .... så gør dig selv lækker kaffe og en stor, sund morgenmad i det fuldt udstyret køkken i de nyrenoverede 1800'erne Cape.

Vandre 15 hektar haver og skovstier .... låne en sit-på-top kajak til at padle med lokale sæler .... nyd spil, mød vores venlige skaldede ørne og andre critters ..... se Maine malet skildpadder eller lyt til frøer på ferskvandsdammen ...... vandre parklignende grunde ..... nyd vores 'skovbadning' invitationer på stedet ... vandre vores fortryllede sti og vores fairy walk ... tage en kølig dukkert eller et sejl på floden ....

Forfrisket, venture ud i Boothbay regionen til at tilslutte en turbåd for at se hvaler eller lunder, eller gå lobstering, butik, se vores mange kunstgallerier, prøve nogle lokale restauranter og generelt har en mindeværdig besøg. Den Coastal Maine Botanisk Have er kun 4 miles væk! Så er verdensklasse Boothbay Harbor Country Club golfbane! Eller prøv vandreture på nogen af ​​de 13 konserves inden for 10 miles af dette hjem.

I slutningen af ​​dagen, forestille kommer 'hjem' til en snack og drikke på ombrydes veranda .... en god bog i hængekøjen ..... en solnedgang gennem vinduerne .... og en lang , lækker søvn i en af ​​dine fem dejlige værelser med fire private bade, farverige sengetøj padle fans, kabel-tv, WiFli.

Eller kom hjem til en fredelig aften i et af dine fem elegante soveværelser med fem private bade, farverige sengetøj, paddle fans, kabel-tv, WiFli .... i gården over gården.

Fornyet igen, lever fed og farverigt dit liv!
Begge bygninger (den charmerende historiske Cape og det elegante Farmhouse) er tilgængelige året rundt.

Det er det perfekte rejsemål for en personlig tilbagetrækning, familie eller skoleforening, bryllup eller anden sammenkomstbegivenhed. Se mere af Googling Bold Colorful Life Estate og Retreat Center.

Dennis H was a wonderfully communicative and responsive guest. He and his guest group were friendly and interested during our tours of the house and grounds...as well as interesting people. They were appreciative of the property and amenities and left the house in excellent condition. I cannot think of a more delightful group. You will be welcome to come back again and again.

Six friends met for a delightful time thanks, in part to our host - Melissa who was attentive to every detail, including a thorough tour of the beautiful grounds. She kept her word - available by text for anything we needed, but otherwise gave us space. Our house, "the Cape", is roomy, colorful and inviting in the traditional New England fashion. There's plenty of outdoor seating, a fully equipped kitchen, porches, gardens and views from the trails. This is a perfect setting for a family getaway or a gathering of friends seeking a serene beautiful space!

Our multigenerational family thoroughly enjoyed our time in Boothbay while staying at the Cape house! We appreciated the owner, Melissa's, wonderful hospitality, and the Bold Colorful Life property is LOVELY with so many cool features and on site amenities! Melissa provided us with a really great tour of the premises when we arrived and provided us with lots of activity suggestions for the area. My only regret was not having enough time to do them all. It was unseasonably hot while we were there, and Melissa did her best to help us stay as comfortable as possible, even though it was totally out of her control. The house is very rustic and authentic, with a wonderful wrap around porch with tables and seating, which was enjoyed for coffee in the morning, and a cookout dinner. I really appreciated how environmentally conscious the property is. The birds and other wildlife on the property was really neat, with a duck family, turtles, and frogs at the pond, we heard and saw many different birds including hawks, ravens, and many songbirds, and there were lots of pollinators buzzing and fluttering by in the gardens and meadows. The sunset looking out to the Back River tidal channel was breathtaking. Melissa was also super helpful with any questions or feedback. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Five bedrooms with their own bathrooms!

The owner was great, told us about the place and what there was to see in the area. The kitchen had just about everything. There are 5 bedrooms, every bedroom had its own bathroom. It’s a beautiful property with plenty of room to roam around. And it’s not far from restaurants, sightseeing, and shopping.

I knew right away that I liked this family...they were good communicators, very friendly and helpful and willing to work things out, like late arrivals and unexpected developments. They were interested in learning about the area, explored as much as possible and enjoyed the site and amenities. They brought three adorable children with them...the kind of children that you know will make great human beings. It was a pleasure to have them here and I do hope they return again and again.

It was a pure delight to have you all here...what a wonderful extended family group!! And your parents' 50th wedding anniversary was such a great reason to gather everyone in Maine. Every interaction...with every member of the family...was enjoyable and it was clear that you were enjoying the site and the peninsula and beyond. Hurrah!! Thanks for taking good care of the home too! ...as I said before, you're just the kind of guest family that we love to see return again and again .I love your idea of coming back in the winter to experience the awesome beauty and snow-related/Nature-related activities that Boothbay offers then...I hope that you do!!

Thanks for taking the time to review the property, Cathy. Your 3 star review was a surprise though, since your email said "We enjoyed the property very much. The house was cute." It is, after all, an antique Cape with antique furniture, so new furnishings would likely detract from that ambiance. But if you have specific items that you think would benefit from an update, please email me directly. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Here’s the way we advertise it on VRBO: “The Antique Cape combines new convenience with its historical heritage, with an exterior wrap-around porch and dormers, and a private back deck with great views of the shady woodland, home of the reclusive Lady Slipper, the apple orchard and the Gallery Barn. Inside, the first floor holds a comfortable, fully-equipped kitchen, dining room and living Room, all set off with the original pumpkin pine flooring, and furnished with antiques.” As you know from first-hand experience, all of the equipment is up-to-date and fully functioning.

Pictures don’t do this place justice

The grounds are breathtaking. If Melissa offers you a tour - take it! The gardens and trails/fresh water pond, flowers and carefully placed…everything- is worth seeing and hearing about. You’ll enjoy it more when you walk it later on your own and appreciate this labor of love which is welcoming, relaxing and just beautiful. We stayed in the cape which is thoughtfully decorated and had everything we needed. Melissa was very helpful leaving us with some recommendations when we met upon check in. She is lovely. We would recommend and certainly hope to be back.

A magical property!

There's so much to do at this property! Hiking trails, fairy walks, kayaking, a frog pond to enjoy, and more all nestled on a quiet dead end street. The house was very comfortable for all eight of us and we could not have had a better time. Melissa is a lovely woman and a wonderful host! Anything we needed she did all she could to help us. Very happy we stayed with her at Bold Color Life!

And the enthusiasm is completely shared by the host! Elizabeth and her family were an absolute delight. They traveled 14 hours in a single day to get to Maine to enjoy their vacation and every interaction was friendly, collaborative and kind. It was fun to see them explore the property and go out on adventures in the area, always full of appreciation and positive energy ...and they treated the house as though it were their own. I cannot wait to have Elizabeth and her lovely family visit again!

Wonderful, relaxing stay in a beautiful location

We had a wonderful stay at Bold Colorful Life! From the moment we arrived to such a warm welcome from Melissa, we felt so relaxed. There is so much attention to detail and the amount of care that Melissa puts into the house and grounds is truly impressive. She gave us great recommendations for places to go and restaurants to eat. The location also can’t be beat. It is close to all of the attractions but in a wonderfully quiet place to relax at the end of a busy day. We enjoyed walking down to the river multiple times and exploring the other trails on the property as well. Thank you for a fantastic stay, Melissa! We will certainly be back.

There were 8 of us (all seniors) and the location could not have been better for exploring Mid-coast Maine. Located on a river away from the hustle and bustle of Boothbay Harbor, the Cape house and grounds were a relaxing oasis allowing us to both enjoy the peace and quiet of the property and go off in many directions to see the sites up and down the coast. The historic renovated Cape house was clean, well-equipped. and charming. There is one downstairs bedroom, but of note, because it is an old house, the narrow and steep stairways to the upstairs bedrooms and to the basement are challenging for seniors. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking. The spacious decks were great for relaxing after driving the winding roads. Our host, Melissa, was gracious and friendly and was available for questions and assistance whenever needed. We had a great time at Bold Colorful Life.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We take an annual family vacation back to N.E. to see my family. This year I wanted to spend time on the coast of Maine and spent quite some time looking for a place that was suitable for my immediate family, my dad, brother, sister-in-law and nieces. In my wildest dreams I couldn't have found a better spot. The Cape was beautiful. The property was breath taking. And Melissa, our hostess, was welcoming and awesome. She gave us an overview of the area, as well as recommendations of where to take family hikes, eat lobster rolls and get the best ice cream in town! The property was peaceful, impeccably maintained and well thought out. And my kids were thrilled with the fire-pit, as they got smores every night! I highly recommend this beautiful estate.
Svar fra VrboOwner den 20. mar. 2020
I get the biggest thrill from hosting groups and families who spend time enjoying the property, as well as the greater Boothbay region...and this family was that kind of wonderful guest family. They came all the way from Arizona, where the temperatures were 117 as their plane took off...and they landed in Maine on the hottest week yet...in the 80s, with cool overnights in the 60s. They soaked up the weather, the estate, the environs. They enjoyed the new kayaks and the Back River cove, the many local hikes and Botanical Gardens, and the Harbor restaurants and shops. Thank you J and family, for coming and visiting and bringing your bright spirits and wonderful family here...and for taking such good care of the house...please come back and stay longer next time!!

Just the right selection for our entire family.

I wanted to take a few moments to share a unique and rewarding experience we encountered at the Bold Colorful Life Inn in Boothbay, Maine. Fifteen acres of pristine forest, a shoreline of unmatched majesty, and an1850’s vintage home with period antiques adorned us. Our wonderful hostess, Melissa, took the time to meet us as we arrived and shared a friendly waive and an orientation that prepared us to enjoy every detail of this incredible place and region. The home offered every nuanced convenience while accentuating the holistic period of significant historical value. Whether guests enjoy kayaking, swimming, hiking, experiencing beautiful wildlife while wandering the forest, picking berries or simply exploring the region, it all awaits. Quiet, peace, rest and uninterrupted sleep were all added experiences we encountered, as our hostess even scheduled maintenance around our quiet times. Our stay was more than a rental, it was home and a fascinating home at that. Melissa’s 18 years personally caring for this incredibly beautiful site at one with nature, shows at every turn. Well done,Melissa. Thanks for everything. Wayne and family.

Dear Lillian and Wayne, I think serendipity is the word for our connection. The right place at such a significant time in your family's sojourn...a place that reminded you of joyous holiday getaways to the house of your dear relative...and the right guest family for this site...a caring, loving, well-connected and warm and appreciative group...resulted in a bit of magic. You are an important part of the history of this place and I do hope that you return again and again! Warmest, Melissa

poorly managed

With the extraordinary number of house rules given to us by the owner we expected a clean well organized property but the owner did not confirm to her own rules. there were a dozen or so filthy mold ridden cups stacked in a basket under the coffee stand. There was a container on the kitchen island that contained utensils dirty with old grease . While cooking dinner on the outside grill the propane gas ran out after 6 minutes and everything needed to transferred into the kitchen oven. All outdoor seats had accumulated grime on them. The inside rooms were clean so it is a mystery how such unsanitary conditions went undetected in the kitchen and that the outside furniture was left uncleaned. I was able to reach the owner by phone once in 6 days but she did not return my other 3 calls. I would not return nor would I recommend anyone rent this property

This inconsiderate, angry, critical group showed up unannounced an hour before check-in. When I greeted them, they were not friendly, but I spent an hour orienting them to the house, to the 15 acre waterfront property & to the fun things to do in the area-something I do for every guest group. I told them that if they had questions, I was reachable via texts from 9am to 9pm & warned them that Spectrum was not good at forwarding voicemails, so texting was best. Joe called three times-two went to voicemail & disappeared & one I was able to pick up. He told me that they had found dirty cups under the coffee machines. I apologized & offered to take care of them, but they had already done that. Next, I got an angry message, the day after it happened, that the propane tank had run out. Joe said he had read the manual, but clearly had not or he would have known that there are always two full propane tanks a minute's walk away, behind the garage. They could have continued cooking with a new tank minutes later. I waived his $50 fee for the a.c. unit in thanks for cleaning the cups & the propane situation. I offered 3x to take their group photo on the last day. Joe did not reply. When I went over to offer in person, they had gone. The house was not left in tidy order with the linens washed, dried & folded, as agreed in the contract; one rug was ruined with bleach stains & they had moved an end table, rested something heavy on it & scratched it badly. They are not welcome to return.

Family reunion The Farmhouse and the Cape

To Melissa: Thank you so much for all your kind words and for your thoughtfulness while we were in Maine. My mother passed away last June, When we were kids, we had a cottage in Damariscotta and spent much of our summers there. Picnics at Pemaquid Point were among Mom’s favorite times. To commemorate her life, we decided to have a whole family reunion a year after her passing. We rented both the Farmhouse and the Cape to accommodate the large group. The week turned out even better than I had hoped… in no small part because of the wonderful and comfortable accommodations provided. The place is lovely. It’s clearly something that you should be very proud of: fully equipped, completely stocked, well maintained, clean and spacious. And the attention to detail is amazing. It was a joy and a surprise that even after 7 days, we’d walk into a room and see some other interesting/lovely/curious (and of course, color coordinated) item that we hadn’t noticed before! I am glad to know that my rather large crew was not an imposition or disruptive. The children are generally well behaved but with that many kids and that young, you never know!!! Their good behavior was a result of how happy they were. The spacious lawn with a range of paths weaving through the tall grass kept them running around for hours. The prospect of making ice cream one night and having s’mores at the fire pit another night also may have encouraged good behavior. I am ever so thankful to have found such a lovely and comfy place for my family to be together and to build more happy memories as we celebrated my mom’s life.

Dear Pat (and all), I probably can't find adequate words to tell you how honored I am that you chose this property for your family reunion and tribute to your dear Mother. Each time we were in contact as you planned the visit, you were a delight...and when you arrived, every family member was friendly, fun and positive. It is an awesome family group...I'm sure your Mother was superbly proud of you all. And the children exploring the property were a great addition...such wonder...such camaraderie...such energy...such life force. It was a joy to observe them whenever we were here at the same time. Also, I thank you for taking such good care of the house...as though it were your own. It would be a pure delight to have you return for another gathering some time soon. Warmly, Melissa

A great riverside getaway

We stayed here with various family members (college age, teen, tween, grandma, parents). We found the property to be relaxing and a nice place to gather. The fire pit was genius and we used it several times - a great way to end our evenings. The river and kayaks were a treat. The area once you're on the water is beautiful. Just beware that this is a river - there is no beach at the water to stand or relax on, and if you hit it at low tide, there is a lot of thick mud to contend with. The house is cozy (we stayed at the smaller Cape, and although we didn't see the inside of the farmhouse, that might be a better option for a bigger group). The house was perfectly clean. The location was great - just a 10 minute or so drive into Boothbay, a quick drive to the botanic gardens. We went somewhere every day, and it was centrally located for day trips to other towns and beaches. It was a nice place to come home to and relax at the ends of our days.

Boothbay Cape

This is a lovely, historic home, set in the countryside but conveniently close enough to all the regional attractions. Very comfortable for us four women but it would also be perfect for a larger group.

1880's Cape

We had a great time staying in the cape. The first floor bed and bath were perfect for a member of our group that doesn't use stairs. The owner, Melissa, was very informative and communicative. The grounds are beautiful! We especially enjoyed a high tide paddle on the river. Another high point was a dinner at Robinson's Wharf - a great recommendation from Melissa.

Highly enjoyable stay at Bold Colorful Life

Thoroughly enjoyed our time in Boothbay, residing at well-appointed, comfortable and inspiring Bold, Colorful Life Cape House. Melissa is as warm and attentive a host as we've ever encountered. We relied on her recommendations of the area and were always happy we did - the area is quintessential coastal Maine. Highly recommended!

Great family stay!

Great location! We had a blast with the kayaks on the river, many scenic spots around the property, and enjoyed the large fire pit. The house has plenty of beds and is on a lovely property. Melissa gave us a tour before our stay (virtually), and then was nice enough to volunteer a group photo at the end of our stay. We’ll stay with Melissa again!

This family was a complete joy to host...the first to arrive since the COVID-19 virus hit the world...and a great beginning to the season. Every member of the family was friendly and interested...all three generations were remarkable. And I DO hope to see them again soon...and for a longer stay, to allow for all the fun things to do on the estate and in the area!

Rest and Relaxation

This is a beautiful waterfront property set on acreage just outside of Boothbay Maine, a charming coastal town in middle Maine. The property has adorable details and the owner is generous with her time and talent and such a gracious host. There wasn't a thing we wished for the entire trip. The home is built well and coming from Atlanta we were a little concerned for a lack of central air conditioning, but it was all for nothing. The mid-summer nights were cool and refreshing and we enjoyed the open windows and sweet breezes (the owner does have air conditioning available, by the way). There was another family staying nearby but we really didn't see or hear them the whole time. We had a relaxing time in the hammocks, watching the wildlife (we did kayak with seals in the bay!) and visiting the local sights, and the evenings were cool enough for bonfires and smores. Despite the country feel to the location, we were less than 15 min from good groceries and attractions. There isn't anything better than fresh-caught Maine lobster. The wifi was consistent and strong and we were able to stay connected and work while visiting because while you want to "get away" complete disconnect is pretty unrealistic. We are thankful for the place Melissa, the owner, provided, with gracious amenities and hospitality and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone else. Sometimes when places are historic, they feel dirty but that was NOT the case here. A fresh coat of paint and attention to cleaning details left us comfortable. One thing to note is the checkout policy where you must wash and dry all linens prior to departure, planning for this policy in your travel plans. This is a unique policy to any other place we stayed.

Beautiful in all ways!

What a fabulous time our group of 6 had at this property! Our lodgings in the beautiful farmhouse were extraordinary with such grand spaciousness. Wow, what a kitchen that we used constantly and the library room was so cozy too. All was perfect, and the setting was so peaceful. We loved walking the woodsy road and trails and simply gazing at our surroundings. It all rally fed our souls, and we all hope to return again in the future. The surrounding towns were such fun to visit and the fresh lobster and oysters were unbelievable. Book it - you will be so happy that you did!

Om værten

Vært: Melissa Thornton, Owner

Værtens profilbillede

I’ve been saving for my ‘dream house’ for 40 years....and I fell in love with kayaking about 8 years ago. After a five year search through waterfront properties in CT, the Adirondacks, MA, NH and finally ME, this was the property that offered the combination of things I'd been seeking. And it was perfect for building vacation rentals so that the awesome environment could be shared.

The setting is idyllic...with fields, woods, many perennial gardens, apple trees, lilac trees and old stone walls wandering down to the Back River. There are 15 acres of land, facing west for sunsets, on the protected waterfront of Maine and with a big freshwater pond and woodlands. The whole estate sits atop Maine ledge, which is sculpted to fall gently towards the water.

It's in an area where I am able, in the 'off-season', to offer weekend and week-long retreats that combine personal growth, spirituality and 'back to nature' events, including hiking, paddling and exploring the nearby Botanical Gardens. And I want to share this beauty with as many people who love Nature and the wild, wonderful aspects of Maine as possible...so vacation rentals are the perfect answer.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

Mother Nature has shaped this property to be both elegant and beautiful...the buildings are on the plateau at the top of the estate and the lawns and gardens, stone walls and woodlands slope gently down and down to the Back River. A great Blue Heron often visits the freshwater pond; then flies off towards the river. Our local pair of bald eagles are seen wheeling overhead regularly as the tides change. A huge porcupine was seen at the south end of the property recently and we have visits from foxes and deer, ospreys and hawks.
The property has a healing energy which most people feel the moment they step onto it. A visit here fills the vision with color, the spirits with hope and the body with calm and peace.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

The Boothbay peninsula offers the perfect getaway. The area is naturally breath-taking, with forests and fields, farms and gardens, brash rocky coastline and gentle coves and lakes. Boothbay Harbor is a charming town with lots of engaging activities and it’s just six miles down the road. This is the area to go shopping, visit galleries and craft fairs, sample local fare at great restaurants, enjoy deep water activities like whale watching and lobster-boating.

And there are natural bonuses: 13 nature preserves for hiking within 10 miles---5 within 5 miles---one within 1/2 mile; a world-class Botanical Garden within 4 miles; kayaking possibilities in rivers and lakes and the Atlantic. We also have a world-class golf course 4 miles away.
The Rockland/Camden area and Freeport shopping are within an hour's drive in either direction; and my favorite Maine park, Acadia National Park is just under three hours away. Nova Scotia and Prince Edward island, both favorite parts of Canada, are nearby too…
The Bold Colorful Life Estate is also a Retreat Center, so plan to join us for a Retreat for personal growth, renewal and spiritual centering...The Bold Colorful Life Gallery offers colorful elegant jewelry, stunning natural photographs, and dramatic works of art in oil and pastel to our rental guests...when it's open.
