Harborfields Waterfront Vacation Cottages
West Boothbay Harbor, Maine
This is what it is all about!
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the view from the deck of the Rock Cottage, just one of the nine distinct vacation cottages, each with its own special water view.
Harborfields Housekeeping Cottages is your family-friendly, pet-friendly, and boater-friendly vacation destination, with a quarter-mile of shoreline and over 8 acres of woods and fields. Located on the west side of Boothbay Harbor, Harborfields overlooks the boats coming and going in the harbor and the beauty of the village, a mile across the water. The Harborfields dock is a hub of activity for boating, swimming, and fishing. We are secluded, yet only two miles by land from the town center, convenient to restaurants, shops, churches, theatres, yacht club and boat landings.
The cottages are old-fashioned and "rustic," but we do have the basics, like indoor plumbing, hot and cold running water, and electric lights! 
No televisions, radios, or telephones; no pools, hot tubs, or spas ... just quiet simplicity, peaceful views, waterfront activities, and friendly hospitality -- ideal for a Maine vacation! -- since 1948!

- "Another fabulous A+ vacation at Harborfields! What an incredible cottage..clean, comfortable, beautiful, ..right on the water! The harbor is ever changing!... Hope to come to Harborfields 'forever' !!!"
Judy and Joe on TripAdvisor.com - "We were extremely pleased with our stay from check-in to check-out... the Wharf Cottage, although rustic and basic in it's appearance, was just what we needed.... You can't get any closer to the water or more scenic than this."
dminehart on TripAdvisor.com - "The accommodations, while rustic, suited our needs perfectly. If you're looking for luxury, this place is not it. But it's on the waterfront and our kids adored (it)...."
Krenster on the TripAdvisor Travel Forums - "The location was beautiful and the owners very friendly and attentive, without being overly so. Liked the location, the privacy and the coziness."
Robert Levite on our Vacation Home Rentals listing - "We had a great get-away. The view from the cottage was breath-taking. The tire swing was a great hit with our five year old."
Deb Kavanagh on our Vacation Home Rentals listing - "...cottages right on the Harbor. The location was so peaceful and scenic. We stayed in the "Shore" cabin - just a couple feet from the water's edge. It was rustic, simple and oh so relaxing.....we would definitely return there."
dlspellman in the TripAdvisor.com travel forums - "A Peaceful Place to Stay. We stayed here for a week one summer and we were very happy. The cabins are well appointed and have the basic necessities. The Cottages are located very close to the water and have a beautiful view."
Cindy L on InsiderPages.com - "5 stars. I really like this place. It has a good vibe. Of course, it doesn't have fresh water, like Knickerbocker Lake does, but it's a fine, salty alternative."
Paula Ragsdale in Harborfields Reviews on Facebook - "We recently spent a long weekend in the Boothbay Harbor area. We stayed at Harborfields, which is a family owned grouping of cottages on West Boothbay Harbor. It was a cluster of small individual cottages right on the Harbor. The location was so peaceful and scenic."
4KarlyCF in the World Travel Forum - travel to Maine discussion thread - "Harborfields is a great spot"
Ed Harrow in the WoodenBoat Forum - advice for our trip to Maine discussion thread - "Harborfields sells out this month [May] for the season I reckon - a nifty place with no radios, TV's or 21st century intrusions, they are nicely green and ten minutes driving slowly from Boothbay Harbor..."
ploughandstars in the Chronicle Forum - Vacation help: Maine discussion thread - "Many cabin resorts, including Harborfields on the Shore Housekeeping Cottages in Boothbay Harbor, have waterfront cabins or cottages."
Laura Latzko in USAtoday.com Travel Tips: Resorts for Families on the Maine Coastline - "5 stars. Harborfields has always given me energy and peace in my very hectic life. I look forward to our return there. My favorite thing is grabbing my first cup of coffee and going out on the deck before the sun comes up and watching the sunrise all while reading a book. All the peace is there. Love It!"
Amy Baker in Harborfields Reviews on Facebook
John Jorgensen, who spent summers at Harborfields in the 1950's, came back with his wife in August 2012 and had this to say: "What did we like the most? The Relaxed laid-back environment. It is a place where families with young and older children can find plenty to keep them entertained. Those without children can find peace and quiet and be as active or inactive as they wish. The Thorpe Family hallmark hospitality remains strong with Wendy and Tim."
We extend a warm invitation to spend your vacation time in Maine with us, and enjoy the many activities to be found both right at Harborfields and in the Boothbay region, while relaxing in friendly informality and discovering what our guests have been discovering for more than 65 years - the way life can be!
