Crow's Nest Retreat The perfect retreat for couples—and full of New England charm—this crow’s nest hideaway has just enough room for 2, plus a private, romantic deck with lush treetop vistas in summer and ocean views in winter. Easily walk to downtown Boothbay from here. ABOUT THE APARTMENT A private deck welcomes you to your third-floor treetop escape. Spend mornings together sipping coffee at the table for 2 while looking out at the ocean or lush green landscape. A gas grill lets you enjoy casual alfresco meals during warmer months. Inside, a warm wood interior lends the kitchen and dining area all the quaint charm you’d expect of a secluded New England getaway. Pick up fresh seafood downtown, then prepare dinner in a fully appointed galley-style kitchen where a skylight lets in a flood of natural light. The adjacent dining space seats 4 at a round wooden table. The rustic theme continues into the king-size bedroom where artwork lines the walls and Victorian-style curtains add a touch of whimsy. The attached bath echoes the home’s historic character with a clawfoot tub, and also has a standing shower, vanity and dresser for storage. Spend evenings in curling up on the sofa in the nautical-themed living area that channels the maritime setting of Boothbay. Here, a large picture window overlooks the trees and a comfortable sofa faces the 36” flat screen TV. Tuck into a novel in the reading corner with two plush armchairs. THE LOCATION Nestled above the landscape, your rental will feel like its own private getaway, but you’ll benefit from staying within walking distance of downtown Boothbay Harbor. Walk down to Commercial Street, just a 5-minute stroll, and choose from whale watching with Cap'n Fish, a harbor cruise with Balmy Days or an adventure of a lifetime aboard the Schooner Eastwind. When all that fresh sea air’s whetted your appetite, head back to shore and take your pick. Locals recommend lobster rolls at Shannon’s, or there’s tapas and wine at the Boathouse Bistro and great coffee at the Red Cup Coffee House. Ports of Italy, an Italian and seafood restaurant heralded as one of Boothbay’s best and most romantic eateries, is just a 6-minute walk away. Explore the outdoors together and check out the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, 8 minutes away by car, as well as the many nature preserves in the area. Winter nights are aglow at Boothbay's Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Maine's largest light display just got even larger, with over 360,000 (and counting!) LED lights illuminating the central gardens and buildings and drawing festive crowds from all over.
