Enjoyed two nights at this adorable cottage and left wishing we had more time. It was cozy, the view was incredible, and the Ohana team was very quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had. It felt private and secluded while still being a quick drive from downtown Boothbay. Will definitely book again!

Stayed in this beautiful cabin in late August. The backyard deck was perfect to enjoy the incredible views and weather. No A/C was needed as leaving some windows open allowed for natural breeze. The cabin is exactly as pictured yet the experience exceeded expectations. The home is clean, private (yet not too isolated from neighbors or nearby town), and well stocked with kitchen and basic bathroom items. The outdoor grill and indoor vintage fireplace were also wonderful additions. When we arrived, the wifi was not working but the hosts responded right away to our request for help and immediately resolved the matter. Hosts were very communicative and sent a helpful reminder message explaining parking and check-in instructions just prior to our arrival. The beds and sofa were comfortable and clean. Note that the path from parking spot to home entrance is not handicap accessible - however it's well-lit and has steps. Hope to visit Maine again and stay here in the future.

Wow, what a beautiful little place! We loved our stay here. Stunning views and a peaceful location. The listing description/pictures are accurate. The interior is so cute and charming. Would happily stay here again! As mentioned in prior reviews and the listing description, if you have mobility issues, the stairs down to the house could be tricky to navigate, though they are very sturdy.
