Om boendet

Elegant Boothbay Waterfront Estate-15 tunnland / trädgårdar, spår, djurliv

Kom bort från allt .... ta andan.

Sex mil från livliga boothbay hamn ligger en lugn strandpromenad, kallat Bold Colourful Life, beläget bland böljande fält, slingrande stenväggar och rikt färgade fleråriga trädgårdar ........ föreställ dig en plats som väcker dina älskade minnen ... ... och ger din semester drömmar till djärvt färgstarka liv ....
The Bold Colourful Life Estate består av fyra byggnader i New England-stil: bondgård och historisk 200 år gammal Homer Jones-ladugård; en centralt belägen trädgårdskjul; en charmig, renoverad Kap från 1800-talet och Gallery Barn.

Bondgården kombinerar ny bekvämlighet med historisk smak, med yttre verandor och sovsalar, och ett nytt däck med fantastisk utsikt över floden, alla omgiven av trädgårdar.
Inuti har första våningen ett stort, fullt utrustat kök, matplats och Great Room, byggt och möblerat med 200 år gamla ladugårdar och timmer. Dessa rum vetter mot floden, solnedgångarna och dammen. Ett mysigt mediarum med aktuell teknik och ett handikapp-tillgängligt kung sovrum och badrum vetter mot gården. På andra våningen finns ytterligare fyra sovrum med privata bad; två mot gården, två mot floden och ett samlingsrum ovanför det stora rummet.

Vakna till fågelsång i äppelträdet och dimman på morgonen på Back River .... gör sedan dig läckra kaffe och en rejäl, hälsosam frukost i det fullt utrustade köket i det eleganta bondhuset.

Vandra 15 tunnland trädgårdar och skogspår .... låna en sit-on-top kajak för att paddla med lokala sälar .... njut av spel, träffa våra vänliga skalade örnar och andra critters ..... titta på de målade Maine sköldpaddorna eller lyssna på grodor på sötvattendammet ... vandra på parkliknande grunder ... njut av våra "skogsbadinbjudningar" på plats ... vandra vår förtrollade vandring och vår Fairy Walk ... ta en coolt dopp eller ett segel på floden ....

Uppfriskad, våga ut i Boothbay-regionen för att gå med i en turbåt för att se valar eller lunnefåglar, eller gå på hummer, shoppa, visa våra många konstgallerier, prova några lokala restauranger och i allmänhet ha ett minnesvärt besök. Coastal Maine Botanical Garden ligger bara 4 mil bort! Så är världsklass Boothbay Harbor Country Club golfbana! Eller prova vandring på någon av de 13 konserverna inom 10 mil från detta hem.

I slutet av dagen, föreställ dig att komma "hem" till ett mellanmål och dricka på framsidan eller nya bakdäck .... en bra bok i hängmattan ..... en solnedgång genom fönstren .... och en lång, utsökt sömn i ett av dina fem vackra sovrum med fyra privata badrum, färgglada sängkläder, paddelfläktar, kabel-TV, WiFli.

Eller kom hem till en lugn kväll i ett av dina fem charmiga sovrum med fyra privata bad, färgglada sängkläder, paddelfläktar, kabel-TV, WiFli .... i Cape huset tvärs över gården.

Förnyas igen, lev ditt djärva och färgstarka liv! Båda byggnaderna (den charmiga historiska udden och det eleganta bondgården) finns tillgängliga året runt.

Det är den perfekta destinationen för en personlig reträtt, familje- eller skolåterförening, bröllop eller andra evenemang. Se mer genom att googla Bold Colourful Life Estate and Retreat Center.

Our Maine Event

Our home was lovely. Kitchen was huge and well stocked for our family of 8 adults. The home is well loved by the owner and you can tell by the care taken of the property. The great room had a fantastic view of the river behind. There were plenty of activities on the property and it was an easy drive to Boothbay for other activities.There was a lot of seating both inside and outside we enjoyed a nice view with our morning coffee on the deck. Hammocks were comfy and the peaceful nature around us was a breath of fresh air. Our family took advantage of the walking paths on the property and the owner gave us many other options around Boothbay.

A beautiful setting!

Our group of 8 (three generations of family) spent a wonderful week on this bucolic property.The beautiful farmhouse was clean and well furnished and looked exactly as it was represented in the photos. Bedding and towels were plentiful and clean. The house included everything we could possibly need -- if you can think of it, it was available, from laundry detergent to Tupperware to plenty of hangers to spices. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. The area was quiet except for the sweet sounds of birds and frogs from the picturesque pond on the property. The kayaks were great and made for a fabulous adventure. We loved hanging out in nearby Boothbay Harbor. It is obvious that Melissa loves this place!

Awesome property!

We had a delightful stay at this home! Melissa was a gracious host and greeted us to review the grounds and property! She kept in constant communication throughout our week and gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and activities. My children and grandchildren enjoyed using the kayaks. The setting was peaceful and quiet. The house was equipped with anything you might need! The layout worked perfectly for our multigenerational family. I would definitely recommend!

Beautiful haven in Boothbay!

My father , who will be 90 soon, grew up visiting his cousins in Maine. He wanted the whole family to go again and stay in one big house! There were 12 of us and one, my mother, is physically disabled and can’t do stairs. This house worked perfectly for us! There was a handicapped accessible bedroom and bathroom on the first floor and lots of space to gather in. We were able to have all 12 people eat meals together at the huge dining table. The grounds are beautiful and there are several kayaks you can borrow. There is a view of the river from the back deck and we saw deer and a groundhog out back! It is very peaceful and secluded, but still not far from town. Melissa was great to work with and very communicative! We would definitely stay there again!

Family gathering in Boothbay at the rainbow house.

Three generations stayed with 4 grandchildren ranging in age from 3 - 11. The grandchildren were immediately enthralled with the collection of stuffed animals, games, musical instruments and interesting artifacts in the library and the TV room. They nicknamed the house, the rainbow house because of the vivid colors in each bedroom. It was perfect for us having 5 bedrooms and each bedroom having its own bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped and the grounds are a pleasure to stroll around and explore. Unfortunately due to Covid we were not permitted to entertain other members of our family, not staying at the house, but it would be perfect for a large gathering with a fabulous fire pit and lots of space. My husband and I used the kayaks the first morning and enjoyed going out, but the access is tricky for young children. We have stayed in Boothbay Harbor over many years, so this was a different location for us, but very easy to get into Boothbay Harbor and also convenient to the playground and The Maine Coastal Gardens. I would highly recommend it as a place to stay for a large group.

A fabulous experience.

We arrived to find the most amazing Estate ever. The grounds are beautiful, the house exceptional and the owner Melissa the perfect hostess. She gave us the grand tour, plus a whole lot more. She gave us tips on where to dine, shop and sight see. Booth Bay is the perfect getaway. We all returned rejuvenated and ready to march on. Five stars is not a high enough rating in our book. We will definitely be booking another stay at The Bold Colorful Life Estate.

Serenity in Boothbay

We just spent a week at Bold Colorful Life an idyllic property in Boothbay. Five of us, former ski buddies, chose this beautiful farmhouse for our reunion. The interior boasts five colorful bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, a soaring library, a large well equipped kitchen and dining room and a loft area with additional seating. Outside, we were provided with lots of room to spread out. There are large decks that overlook magnificent grounds and the ever changing tide of Back River, which is easily accessed by the mowed paths that intertwine the property. I spent a lot of time reading on the back deck and watching the many varieties that frequent the feeders. Also placed throughout the lovely landscaped grounds are benches where one can find solitude and serenity. Melissa was the perfect host; welcoming, considerate and very helpful. I would not definitely recommend this beautiful home to anyone who enjoys getting away from it all.

Beautiful property, great location, warm and engaged host

Rented the farmhouse for our extended family of seven for a week during the COVID summer of 2020. The entire process, from pre-contract discussion to check-in through check-out was easy, thoughtful, and safely accomplished. Melissa, the property owner and host, is near-enough to interact with when needed (and also to provide fresh garden vegetables!), but never intrusive on her guests' use of the house and the property. The home is fully equipped, from the kitchen with its myriad appliances, utensils, plates, pantry staples, etc., to the colorful bedrooms, each with a clean and fully functional bathroom. The library is a wonderful place to relax, read, play piano, or take a nap, the porch is great for watching the river over a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine, and the walking paths, hammocks, pond, fire pit, and river all provide ample opportunity to enjoy being outdoors in the pleasant Maine weather. Outdoor activities are abundant, both on the property and off, and Melissa provided many useful suggestions for how we could take advantage of all. All in all, it was a great week at a great location, and we all agreed that we would love to do it again.

Had a great time here!

Just back from 8 nights at Bold Colorful Life and had a total blast! We were a party of eight — four adults and four 9- and 10-year old girls — and everything about this place was great. The kitchen and dining area are spacious and well-equipped, the deck large with a great view of the river (and some occasional pesky mosquitoes), the bedrooms comfortable and quirky. The property itself is fantastic — tons of places to explore, a pond to catch endless frogs in and a lovely river to kayak in during high tide. Melissa, the owner, is charming, responsive and had many great recommendations. The house is close enough to Boothbay (~10 mins), yet far away for some privacy, which we appreciated. And there are so many great things to do nearby: hiking, swimming at Knickerbocker Pond (highly recommended!), lighthouses, Pemaquid Beach, Ocean Point, Monhegan Island. It was a bit too far from Acadia NP for a day trip, but a quick hour to Camden State Park for some good hiking. All in all, it’s a perfect place for a group getaway. Highly recommended and we’d happily stay here again.

Wonderful time in Boothbay

Family of 10 looking to spend a week together before 2 of the grandkids head off to college and this was a perfect home for it. We were looking for an affordable home that had plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms, a large dining area where we could all sit together, and was located along the coast of Maine. This home checked all the boxes. The home sits on a large piece of property with plenty of walking trails and outdoor activities. Unfortunately for us it was black fly/mosquito season. After a very wet spring it was nearly impossible to enjoy a walk in the woods without the bugs swarming around. Highlights for us were spending time in the family room reading a book from the home’s extensive library, playing board games or enjoying a family meal at the large dining table, sitting around the campfire, or just hanging out on the porch sharing stories.

Gorgeous property! Gorgeous house!

We had a wonderful time renting this house. We had two families - 4 adults, 5 kids ranging in age from 3-8. The views from the house were stunning and the loft was a special favorite of the kids. We had plenty of space especially in the kitchen. Better organized and better amenities that nearly any rental kitchen I have been in. And Melissa was always available to help if we needed anything. Though we didn’t explore the grounds to the fullest as we had a particularly humid (buggy!) week, we did find the views lovely. We also had easy drives to every location we wanted to visit during our stay. Great house and great hosting!

Large place needed for large party

We had to find a place for 7 adults and 3 children for a family reunion for the memorial for my mother. Places that can accommodate parties that large can be difficult to find. From the moment I began to communicate with Melissa (and mind you this was a very emotional time), I felt her kindness and her enthusiasm for our reunion at her farmhouse. I was BLOWN AWAY upon arrival to the property and even more so when she gave us the tour of the grounds and the home. We never felt crowded and the kitchen was SPECTACULAR! Lots of tears, lots of laughter and LOTS of great meals filled 802 Back River Road during our week. The place is absolutely MAGICAL both inside and out. The price may sound high at first but when split it up it was quite reasonable. You will not regret it! Thank you, Melissa, for everything!

Fantastic Family Vacation Retreat

This is a fantastic spot! The Farmhouse and the grounds give you a lot of space to relax and also enjoy Boothbay Harbor. We had a group of 10, which include 5 adults and 5 grown grandkids. The kids had plenty of choices inside to do their thing We especially loved the large kitchen and dining room. It easily handled the 10 of us when making meals and fixing snacks & cocktails . The Library/Study on the main floor is an especially cool space. The five COLORFUL bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, was just perfect for our family. The teenagers loved having their own space. The outside and backyard were really great. Lots to explore. The kids loved the various activities and made good use of both the kayaks and the outside games and firepit for some mores. There was a nice view of the tidal river from both inside the house and from the back deck. Just the right amount of water view to help you appreciate the area. It was just 15 minutes to downtown Boothbay Harbor and the all the restaurants and shopping. You don't have to over-plan the day in order to get into town. This kids really loved Chowders Restaurant and we all enjoyed fresh Maine lobster at Robinsons Wharf. So Good!!!!! We really enjoyed our stay and Melissa was more than accommodating and helpful. She was always available if we needed her. She truly places her guests as her first priority. We highly recommend Melissa and her home for your next family celebration! Thank you, M, for sharing your beautiful piece of Maine with our family.

Coming back— Soon!!!

We couldn't have picked a better spot to recapture and share with family & friends our memories of Down East Maine. First the all important tour— nice touch because there was so much there. It was Father's Day, so for the fist day we decided to make a Lobster feast (Pinkhams for Lobster) at the Farm. Everything was accurate down to the last detail. There really was so much to do right there, with all the trails, and gardens (the girls adored the fairy-gardening, kayaking, etc... but as far as outside activities, the Cabbage Island tour was the all-around favorite, with Botanical Gardens coming in a close second—oh, and the Royal River Grillhouse in Freeport on our way back to Portland was Fabulous. Still, for me, another week at home at Bold Colorful Life Farm, listening to the night frogs, smelling the peonies, and cooking up more lobster would have been just fine. Thanks for making everything so perfect, Melissa.

Great for a family gathering, awesome owner!

The farmhouse is such a wonderful retreat!! Everything in the online description was to a T accurate. Melissa gave us a much appreciated orientation/walk through too, she is a gracious and considerate hostess. We are so glad we chose this place it had everything we needed to make our stay memoriable. The surrounding grounds had so many awesome quiet places to retreat and the young adults with us not only utilized those but loved the second floor lounge space. All our visiting relatives not only were 'awed' by her creativeness, but commented they would like to return for a family gathering in the future, so bravo to Melissa! She even sent a few emails highlighting some daily activities going on in the local area. We will be forever grateful for the attention we received that made our stay so pleasant.

Om värden

Melissa Thornton, Owner är värd

I’ve been saving for my ‘dream house’ for 40 years....and I fell in love with kayaking about 12 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.

Varför värden valde detta boende

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.

Vad som gör detta boende 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…
