We are sure you will enjoy the ever changing tidal riverscape from this private vacation spot as we have for the past 20 years. This rental is located on Barters Island, a 10 minute drive from Boothbay Harbor.
The open floor plan provides wide water views from the kitchen, living and dining areas as well as the deck.

The Perfect Getaway

Perfect Fall Weather, Wonderful Sunrise and Sunset Views. Property is on a Tidal Estuary with many beautiful photo opportunities. Private Setting, Safe and Secure. Beautiful and Welcoming Area. Convenient to Boothbay, and many historic sites, Great location for biking,walking or hiking. The home is exceptional, very clean and fully stocked with all necessities we required. The open architecture design of the livingroom, kitchen, and eat-in dining area are all lined with ~7 ft high windows and two sliding doors spanning the full width of the home and rear deck area overlooking the water. The home owner was very pleasant, and responsive to our questions and knowledgable of the area's history. When in the Boothbay area, there is no better place we would choose to stay.

Fantastic out of the way place

This is one of the best places I’ve stayed at renting through VRBO and I’ve stayed in a lot of houses. I almost don’t want people to find it so I can rent it again. Ha ha. It is older and the furniture is a bit low to the ground for older people. But it’s comfortable, quiet, on the water spot that is just ideal for relaxing. It’s about a 10 minute drive into Boothbay Harbor which is fine. It’s down a nice dead end road so there’s no traffic and hardly any neighbors to see. My dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed the peace. And the big front yard. There’s also a nice deck to sit on and enjoy the views.

Great the second time around!

This is our second stay at this property. It is nice and quiet and it has a lovely view. The Trevett General Store is an easy walk-to and Boothbay Harbor and its stores is a easy drive. The kitchen has many utensils and cookware so making meals was easy. The hosts are gracious.

Home on Barters Island

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. It was well stocked with anything you would need. The home was perfect for our girls trip. Plenty of space. Absolutely gorgeous setting. Very quiet. The hosts, Mark & Beverly, were very quick to respond to any questions we had. It was such a good experience, we are looking to book it again for next year.

Great location

We had an amazing stay. What more can you ask for when you have a horse as a neighbor. The view was beautiful with the tide constantly going out and coming back in. The flowers were blooming, the hummingbird was around, several other species of birds were making their presence known. We saw the eagle fly over and swooped a fish right out of the water. The opsprey’s nest was near by so one mate was in the trees eating fish then taking it to the nest. We saw a deer with her fawn near the waters edge. The house had everything you needed. Extra pillows and blankets are always great to have. Very clean. We felt like we did not want even leave to sightsee. Eating meals at the dinning room table facing the water was in itself a treat. We honestly felt like we were at our place in upper Wisconsin Minus the Lobster traps and changing tides.

Lovely getaway

Six of us enjoyed a beautiful Fall weekend at this property. We had deer pass through the yard & saw herons, an eagle and lots of ducks. It is a quiet spot, very private, great views, clean, comfortable, close to everything in Boothbay. We loved sitting on the deck watching the activity on the water. I recommend this property.

This place is magical.

This home is magical. Even our friends from Southport, who have their own water view, commented on the tranquility of the place. My wife and I loved to watch as the tide rose and fell and the lights across the way began to shine. Kayaking from Knickercane was a breeze. The country store next to the bridge was a convenient savior. We can’t wait to return.

Everything we needed

We stayed at Mark and Beverly's place to enjoy the changing leaves and Fall weather. The house is located at the end of a lane and surrounded by nature. You can sit on the back deck and watch the tide come in, the boats trawling through and the birds feeding. The home is spacious with plenty of room to spread out. We loved our time here!

Late Summer Getaway

We had an amazing stay. The property is in a fabulous location - the views of the cove are beautiful. Close to the Botanical Gardens and downtown Boothbay Harbor. The kids had a blast playing in the yard and watching the birds in the water. We will definitely be back!

Peace quiet and relaxation.

The location is superb, having easy access to all the amenities of a great resort at Boothbay Harbor, yet offering perfect peace and seclusion in the residence. We all love the house, as the accommodation is very comfortable. The downstairs master bedroom is a godsend for a somewhat disabled member of the group, and the house has all the amenities one could ask for. The views overlooking the water are sublime. The greatest feature is the peace and quiet, and being in a wooded location.

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Beverly Lewis

Why they chose this property

This house has been in the family since 1990 and we have been enjoying it immensely ever since. We value the peacefulness of the location as well as the availability of walks, concerts, boating, public library with its locally famous used bookstore and many, many other activities. When our children were young we all enjoyed the local Railway Village with train rides, animals and an antique car museum. We have also loved exploring other beautiful towns and state parks along the Maine coast and inland from this home base including; Bradford State Park (walking trails and mountain biking available) and Reid State Park (on the ocean with beach and a large 'tidal' pool that is great for small children.) Inland we have visited Moosehead Lake and the surrounding area; explored the paper company roads and canoed down a stretch of the Penobscot River.
