Description

Glampers will fall in love with this authentic 18th-century farmhouse near Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The cottage is rich with rustic character and original features, but has been lovingly renovated to a fantastic standard, and includes many handy, modern amenities. Guests at this property can truly disconnect from everyday life, as there is no television, radio, or telephone, so it’s a perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with friends, family, and four-legged companions.

This historic cottage will comfortably accommodate up to 10 glampers. There are five elegantly decorated and pretty bedrooms, three on the first floor and two on the second floor. In total, there are six twin beds, one double bed, and one queen-size bed, making the cottage great for families or large groups. For guests’ convenience, there are two delightful, contemporary bathrooms. The upstairs bathroom was renovated in 2014 and features a walk-in shower, and the downstairs bathroom boasts a chic clawfoot bathtub, so there is plenty of room for everyone to freshen up, ready for the day ahead.

Inside, the cottage has antique pine floors and exposed beams. The living area features the original red-brick fireplace, and a wood-burning stove is the ideal focal point for chilly evenings. There’s plenty of comfortable seating space around the hearth for everyone to chat and enjoy some downtime. Next to the living area is a large, 10-seater dining table, made using wood from the host’s own trees, which is perfect for long, sociable meals and drinks.

A charming farmhouse-style kitchen provides a light and spacious place to prepare meals. There are cheerful yellow walls and bright, white counters and appliances.
