The home was clean, neat and roomy. Great location within walking distance to the footbridge and Barrett’s Park. We had so much fun with the pool table! If you want to use the fire pit bring your own firewood.

Great location in Booth Bay Harbor
We loved the reclining couches. We loved to location and access to the park and Booth Bay Harbor. We loved sitting outside on the porch.
We had a great time. Location super convenient to downtown Boothbay Harbor and a nice park to walk our dog.
We would definitely recommend this house to family and friends.

Great house in Boothbay
Easy to find the house. Location was perfect to walk to town and to Barret Park. It was nice being in a quiet neighborhood. House was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the firepit and using the grill.
Mabel’s house was cute, clean and spacious. We enjoyed watching Boothbay open for the season, met a family of foxes in the neighborhood, and got got to take beautiful walks to Barrett Park and in town. Beds were very comfortable 😊

Clean as a whistle
House was very clean and had everything we needed to make our short stay enjoyable.
Great location, quite, good hiking esp if you are into lighthouses, very scenic, rugged Maine coast, plenty of fresh lobster and not overrun by tourist.
It is a big house with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. It was very clean when we arrived
It is about a half mile walk into Boothbay Harbor by way of the footbridge. There are many restaurants, and shops. You can go out on boat tours from the middle of the town.
Our experience was very good and be enjoyed our stay

Little Shortcomings
Overall the home was very comfortable and pleasant. We had more than enough room for every family member to spread out. The kitchen was clean and fresh, no odors and clean floors. Caveats: No air conditioner in 1st flr bedroom. The room also had a musty smell. No body wash in showers. Had to run out and get some. The ice maker did not produce ice and water dispenser was not dispensing water. There was a bit of a walk to get to shops. No Keurig.Positives: beds and pillows were comfortable. The pool table was a fun addition for entertainment. The TV in the living room large and was a big bonus for family movie time. The fact that there was a kitchen was a plus.
We really enjoyed our stay in Mabel's Cottage. The house was immaculate and had numerous thoughtful touches throughout. Beds and furniture were comfortable and in very good condition. Kitchen was well equipped and deck was in good shape, although a few of the deck chairs were starting to wear thin.
The neighborhood was very nice and an easy walk into town or to Barrett Park if you don't mind a few hills. A lovely couple who we made instant friends with live across the street and gave us tips for local places to visit (Ocean Point!).
We would definitely stay here again on a future visit to BBH.
The home was very clean. very well stocked kitchen, did not need to use extra paper towels, toilet paper ,etc I brought along just in case. All utensils needed were present. Kitchen, bedrooms very well furnished and many nice recliners in family room to watch netflix on tv. Nightlights in bedrooms and bathrooms were a very thoughtful touch. Location couldn’t be better to walk across bridge to downtown or go to Barrett park with dog. Very quiet neighborhood, no traffic. Will definitely return if coming back to the area.
The property is nice and it’s a great location however we didn’t have heat. We tried multiple times to text or message Vacasa and they never responded.

Relaxing Long Weekend
We really enjoyed the home and all that it had to to offer. It is in a great quiet neighborhood with the park just a 5-minute walk. Also just a few minutes walk to the pedestrian bridge that takes you into town. The pool table is missing a ball, and we could not get any live football channels for either college or NFL. The kitchen is well stocked. We would love to return in the future. We can see all of the upgrades you have made over the years and enjoyed reading the journal of everyone’s stay over the years. It actually pointed us in the right direction for food and walking to different areas. Thanks again for sharing your home.
