My wife and I were going to spend 4 days in the Boothbay area to attend a wedding, and we didn't want to be cooped up in a hotel. After a 2-day drive from Pennsylvania, the Carriage House turned out to be ideal for the accommodations we wanted. We found ourselves in a comfortable, well-equipped home on a quiet street. There's a large, open lawn with trees, views of a river, as well as nice plantings around the building. "Downtown Boothbay" is a short drive, as are several good restaurants in the area. Many reviewers have accurately described the interior, the wonderful hosts, and other features of the property, so there's no need for repetition, other than to say those reviews aren't exaggerating. We've stayed in central and southern Maine a few times, and we hope to return to the Carriage House on a future trip.
