The Badger Den

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Set back on a grassy knoll overlooking the water, this 3BR/2BA Boothbay Harbor home offers a truly tranquil vacation retreat. Drive minutes to restaurants, hiking trails, whale watching, and the quaint fishing village of Boothbay Harbor. Sleeps 10.

INSIDE THE HOUSE

After arriving in this leafy neighborhood overlooking the water, pull up outside the house on a driveway with parking space for 4. A dark wood walkway leads up to the front door.

As you step inside, turn right into the main living room – an open-concept space with hardwood floors and lots of natural light. There’s seating for 6 on a charcoal gray couch and sofa chair. After a day of coastal adventures, curl up for the evening in front of a 40” flat-screen TV.

Next to the living area, a dining area with a glass top table seats 6. From here, gain access to a wrap-around back deck with a BBQ grill and outdoor seating overlooking the trees.

Next to the dining table, an open kitchen makes it easy to chat with the group while prepping meals. Find plenty of appliances close to hand, including an electric stove-oven combo, microwave, and dishwasher. In the mornings, fire up the coffee maker or whizz up fruit smoothies in the kitchen blender.

A hallway off the living area leads to a bathroom with a single-sink vanity and shower/tub combo.

Further along, you’ll find the primary bedroom, furnished with a queen bed and 32” TV.

Next door, a snug 2nd living room offers an extra hang-out space with an L-shaped couch and 42” TV with cable.

The remaining bedrooms are located upstairs. On the left of the stairs, a bedroom has 2 queen beds, while the 3rd bedroom comes with a queen bed and two twin beds.

Both bedrooms also share access to a bathroom with a shower/tub combination.

LOCATION

Drive 4 minutes down the coast to East Boothbay. Stroll around the marina in the morning, then grab a lunchtime bite at East Boothbay General Store or Lobsterman’s Wharf Restaurant.

Take a 7-minute drive for beautiful coastal views at Ocean Point, or watch the waves roll in against the rocky beach at Grimes Cove.

Just 12 minutes away, the fishing village of Boothbay Harbor is a tranquil place to wander between laid-back cafes, shops, bars, and eateries. Grab brunch at Mama D's, try the Lobster Dock for seafood, then stroll to Downeast Ice Cream for a sweet treat.

The harbor is also a great jumping off point for whale watching, fishing trips, and island sailing tours, the perfect way to soak up the natural beauty surrounding this quaint coastal town.

Enjoy Boothbay's Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens! If you're planning a trip in November or December plan on experiencing Gardens Aglow, Maine's largest light display, with over 360,000 LED lights illuminating the central gardens and buildings.

Thanksgiving Holiday

Overall everything was fine. The one negative was the internet did not work even with communication from owner texting option to correct. None repaired the issue. Would return as close to extended family.

Wonderful Home

This house is beautifully located in a quiet neighborhood. The small motel across the street did not impact us at all. Sunset over the water behind it was beautiful! Loved the two living areas and open kitchen for our group of six women, also the large deck. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen well supplied, though did have to pick up napkins and coffee filters. The General Store up the road had delicious breakfast and lunch food! Hope to return again

Perfect vacation week

Badger Den comfortably housed 3 generations. House was clean, kitchen well equipped, and had an amazingly large yard, fun for yard games. The new deck is beautifully built. We appreciated the hard work that must have gone into creating such a wonderful space. We used it every day, and loved the peek-a-boo ocean view. We biked, walked, enjoyed sunsets, lobsters, the trolls at botanical garden. Thanks for a great week!

Great stay!

We had a wonderful time at this cottage. Ocean Point was close for exploring the coast, the Boothbay area had plenty of great restaurants and the deck was great for coffee in the morning. We appreciated on site laundry and two full bathrooms as well. We had a great weekend and hope to be back.

3 women getting away

Place was clean. We each had our own rooms. Had everything we needed and then some. 2nd floor tub backs up a bit. Could use a mat in front of sliders to deck. Handle on freezer comes off occasionally. Otherwise overall a great place to stay. Loved the place. Beautiful sunsets down one end of the street and Hannaford supermarket down the other end. Great location.

Attention to detail.

The first thing we noticed is how clean this house was. Everything shined and nothing smelled moldy including the basement. Beautifully maintained house with a large deck overlooking the ocean across the street. Plenty of amenities including paper towels, games (including cards) and a Weber grill. Beds and pillows didn't receive and complaints. It's about 10 minutes from downtown Boothbay. We did have some problems connecting to internet at the location so it might be smart to screenshot the access information.

Beautiful and roomy not far from Boothbay Harbor

This was a very clean and roomy home for 3 couples. Spacious well equipped kitchen along with sitting area. Loved the outside deck overlooking the Smugglers Cove area. Beautiful manicured lawn.

Better than expected!

The pictures do not do the house justice. It is super clean and very comfortable. No complaints other than the digital lock is a bit finicky. That didn't deter of from having a wonderful vacation though!

This was a very nice home. It was well set up for spending time together as friends. The tv room was great, with a wrap-around couch where thw 5 of us could sit comfortably and enjoy a movie together. The bedrooms were as described and fit our needs.

It was a fantastic visit.

We are seven cousins who are all retired and descendants of the Blackstone family of Caribou Maine. We gathered in Boothbay Harbor to enjoy a reunion. The house was perfect: comfortable, clean, and close to everything. We took away wonderful memories of the house and the area!

1st time in Maine

The house and location was great and fits six comfortably. The house has everything you need, and they provided lots of toiletries, laundry detergent, etc. The house has a great deck, and the water view across the road really makes it. Having the water that close gave us a place to kayak and we even saw seals. The only downside was Vacasa, as they gave us the wrong code to get into the unit and we were stranded for over an hour when we arrived trying to get into the unit.

Beautiful house and location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nicely decorated and furnished. We had more than enough room for our party of 3. Quiet location with partial view of water. About 20" from downtown Boothbay which was fine with us. Very clean and organized. Only negatives: need to stock more TP and the front door lock was sometimes fidgety, requiring several attempts to open.
