Amazing stay at Done House
We had the most amazing stay at the Dome House in Boothbay. The house was perfect. The property was gorgeous - secluded in the woods on the water but still only 10 minutes from town. The house was equipped with way more than expected. We will definitely go back.

Serenity
this home is the last house on a dead end nestled deep into the woods in a Serene setting with a deck that overlooks and is steps from a small Inlet that offers you changing views as the tide rolls in and out the home which offers many views from all the windows.
The home is located close to some very nice restaurants on the ocean and also very close to the famous Botanical Gardens of Boothbay . FIVE STAR GETAWAY

We loved the riverside location, and our wildlife sightings included a bald eagle and heron. The home was comfortable, well appointed with directions on how to use the amenities. The artwork was lovely and contributed to the artsy design of the Dome home. We had a wonderful stay.

A perfect spot
This cozy dome home at the end of the road was the perfect spot for our stay in Boothbay. We especially loved the light filled and spacious living room for gathering and games. Eating dinner on the deck was divine. It's close proximity to the botanical gardens was another bonus. We will definitely stay here again.

Near Maine Coastal Botanic Garden
Convenient location for Boothbay activities, especially the Botanical Garden; yet a quiet and private retreat.
Totally removed from light pollution -- so great star-gazing.
