Welcome to Firehouse Cottage, a charming historical home nestled just over a mile from the vibrant shops, eateries, and marinas of downtown Boothbay Harbor, ME. This unique property, a converted fire station, boasts 1,572 square feet of classic New England charm, making it the perfect retreat for families and couples alike. Enjoy your mornings sipping fresh coffee beneath the pergola, or unwind in the outdoor living room set, surrounded by the tranquility of a private, tree-lined space. With a gas grill and dining table, al fresco dining is a delightful option, and the outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off after a day of seaside adventures.
Inside, the great room features high ceilings and exposed beams, creating a regal atmosphere complemented by cozy seating. Snuggle up by the gas fireplace with a good book from the shelves, or catch your favorite shows on the 40" TV. The open-concept living area, framed by warm wood floors, invites you to share snacks and drinks before dinner, while the sunny country-style kitchen, equipped with butcher block countertops and a gas range, makes meal preparation a breeze.
The primary bedroom serves as a serene sanctuary, complete with a 32" TV for your entertainment. Firehouse Cottage is also dog-friendly, ensuring that your furry friends can join in on the fun. With amenities like WiFi, a washer/dryer, and a variety of kitchen appliances, you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Boothbay Harbor is a treasure trove of activities, from whale watching to art tours. The Maine State Aquarium is just a mile and a half away, and the stunning Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is a short drive of just over three miles. For those who love the outdoors, the picturesque Pine Tree Preserve offers hiking trails and pondside picnics within two and a half miles. Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, Firehouse Cottage is the ideal base for your unforgettable Maine getaway.
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. No more dogs are allowed.
