Innkeepers Mark & Buzz were also named "Innkeepers of the Year" for 2020 by Hospitality Maine. We look forward to welcoming you to Maine's beautiful Boothbay Harbor.
We have a incredible location at the highest point in Boothbay Harbor.. Coastal chic vibe Main House Inn and guesthouses offer panoramic harbor views, and is surrounded by perennial seaside gardens with peaceful places to relax. But we're just a few steps away from everything you'll find in the charming village of Boothbay Harbor.
Our main house and two classic summer guesthouses provide stylish, comfortable lodging, and our indoor and outdoor common spaces are perfect to enjoy the harbor views, sip on a glass of wine, or meet some of our other guests.
Water views are everywhere - greet the sunrise and the famous footbridge across Boothbay's inner harbor to the east, take in the sight of lighthouses and islands to the south, and enjoy sunsets in the west. From the front lawn, you'll have the perfect place to observe harbor activity throughout the day and the starry night skies.
Start each day with a extensive gourmet breakfast. We serve many options each day, often with produce from our vegetable and herb gardens or purchased from the Boothbay Harbor farmers market. Our breakfasts may include lobster, local mushrooms, fingerling potatoes and fresh cheeses from around the region.
Our guests will also enjoy fantastic local coffee or tea, fresh fruit, delicious homemade granola, yogurt, baked goods, cereal, juice and more. We can accommodate special requests too - including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free - just let us know when you book.
The Boothbay Harbor area offers so many great things to do - you can easily fill a week-long stay with local activities. Boothbay Harbor is a classic Maine seacoast village - you'll enjoy the convenience of a five-minute walk to local restaurants, boutique shops, and galleries.
And did we mention all the water activities? Boat excursions depart from the in-town piers, offering whale watching, puffin and seal sightseeing. There are also lighthouse tours, schooner sails, fishing, kayaking and more.
Back on solid ground, the spectacular beauty of the peninsula awaits you on the Land Trust hiking trails, at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, or on winding roads that lead to spectacular lookout points like Pemaquid Lighthouse and Ocean Point.
There are also breweries, wineries and farmers markets within an easy country drive for our foodie guests. We'll help you find it all!
