Located on the west side of Boothbay Harbor, Harborfields Cottages overlook the boats coming and going in the harbor and the beauty of the village, a mile across the water. 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!

Reviews of Harborfields Cottages
Here are some unsolicited comments about and reviews of Harborfields Housekeeping Cottages that we have found on the web:
- "...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!"
