Thank You!

"We want to thank you so much for one of the most beautiful vacations that we have ever had ! The "Wharf" was perfect..very cozy, clean and comfortable. Having a deck right over the water was spectacular. We spent hours..just watching the sailboats, the lobster boats, the birds, ( I saw my first eagle ! ), the changing of the tide, the Harbor at night ..The harbor was ever changing..something different every day. The foggy days were cozy. We took alot of excursions to the different areas, ate in fabulous restaurants, enjoyed the Botanical garden, morning walks, shopping..!!

"It was the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. We are truly looking forward to returning next fall.

"Again, thank you so much for a very memorable time."

Don't Change a Thing!

"What did we enjoy the most? The view! The rusticity (is that a word?) Fresh flowers on the table! The porpoise! Vintage tableware, Pet friendly, "The Osprey Show," Big Blue [Heron].

"Would we suggest any changes? NO!

"We wish we had found this place when our kids were young - it's perfect. We'll be back for certain next year. Thanks again."

Beautiful Renovation

"The renovation came out beautifully! Love the floors, and the second floor is splendid. Nice downstairs bedroom and great light. Really loved the cabin."

Simplicity and Comfort

"What did we enjoy the most? Everything, but especialy the rustic feel, the view, and the quiet. The cabin's simplicity and comfort. Love the feeling of being in a place that hasn't changed much. We hope it will stay that way!"

Susie and Chuck in the Rock Cottage, August 2011

The Dog Loves it Too

For the Cruising Sailor

"If you want a true downeast experience, try one of Harborfields' waterfront cottages. It's as close to sailing as you can get living on land. We loved it."

Vivian and Alan Harquail in the Wharf Cottage, 2010

Reviews

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."

"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."

"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."

"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..."

"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!"
