We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this unique home. Nestled at the end of a dirt road, it was a perfect setting to relax and unwind. The house was quite comfortable and charming filled with the owner’s beautiful artwork. We had dinner at Water Street Kitchen and Bar in Wiscasset (known as the prettiest village in Maine) and highly recommend it. The food was excellent with atmosphere to match. Boothbay Harbor is a fun walkable town with something for everyone. We took a drive to Ocean Point and on our way back grabbed a couple lobster rolls at Ocean Point Marina, then headed back to the Dome home to enjoy on the deck overlooking the water. We were lucky to have perfect weather for it. Breakfast the next morning at East Boothbay General Store was delicious…egg sandwiches, homemade donuts, muffins and breads. Just a short walk away is Kerr + Jones Fine Art & Craft. I wanted everything in there! And don’t miss Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens where you can see giant trolls by artist Thomas Dambo. Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise 😊

This home is situated close to dozens of preserves with hiking trails of all sorts (ocean front, pine forest, steep and challenging). It sits on a tidal river that our dog just loved. The forest near the home also has some fun, short hiking available in it. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely go back to this charming little area!

Beautiful house with lots of charm….. gorgeous views from the deck. I was texted when we arrived to make sure we were happy with the cleanliness of the home and we were . House was supplied with plenty of towels, blankets, toiletries, cushions for outdoor furniture and games. We stayed here with our dogs who loved it as well. We would stay here again

If you want the true maine coastal cottage experience this is it, although it had more conveniences than are strictly necessary, like the dishwasher. At the end of the road, its best calling card is the peace and quiet. What a place for contemplation and relaxation!

This was my second visit to the dome house and we had a great time again. This home is secluded and peaceful while still close to Boothbay Harbor shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the outside fire pit every evening.

I arrived to late afternoon sun, breeze softened by tall pines, jade bay lighting pine boughs from underneath...serene scenes in all directions. Sat by firepit area, then on deck to take in views of the water just yards below... Entrance to home offers convenient landing area for letting bags and shoes rest, then you can move left to the living-room "dome" or right into the airy kitchen - both directions have wide windows to take in the scenery you have just come in from and comfortable places to sit, eat, read, play games or work on your art. Good WIFI signal. Kitchen is well-appointed for making all meals - if you don't take advantage of the excellent area restaurants. The aesthetic is easy on all the senses, and there is signage about how to use amenities there, as well as useful information about what to do in the area, including an important draw: this place is a 2-MINUTE DRIVE FROM THE BOOTHBAY BOTANICAL GARDENS!!! Awesome quiet spot to get away to rest, meet friends, or base out of to conduct your area business. Highly recommend the Dome House in Boothbay and will return, thank you!

We had an amazing time at the Dome House. We spent a few days here watching the tide come in and out, and eating almost all our meals out on the deck. The house is very comfortable, the wifi was fast and the kitchen was easy to use. We even managed to host a couple of friends over for a dinner of scallops and lobster. As it is pet friendly, we took our dog to all the local preserves and especially liked the views at Porter Preserve. It's pretty close to Boothbay Harbor, so we went into town a few times for drinks and shopping. (We found a bookstore where all the books are $1!) It's so quiet and peaceful at night, and I enjoyed stargazing--both outside and through a skylight in the loft. The house was beautifully decorated with the owners art, and it was fun to match some of the paintings to views from the kitchen!

New furniture was super comfortable. Very clean & loved the local artwork in the home. Location is close enough to town that everything is within 15 minutes. Great time in Maine!
