“Three generations of our family gathered for the first time in 3 years in this thoughtfully designed and beautifully constructed residence. The view features thousands of flowering lupines, birch and pine cascading down towards a long-range view of the water, punctuated with the colossal rocks of the coast. The scenery changed every day with the weather and the phase of the moon, and the lack of light pollution meant the dome of stars was brilliant. We had a campfire in the firepit surrounded by Adirondack chairs, accompanied by family musicians on their guitars, played Kubb on the lawn surrounded by fearless bright-eyed rabbits, picked wild raspberries, cloudberries and blueberries in the abundant woods surrounding. The house is full of views and light, with elegant finishes and wonderful patina in the architectural salvage used for the wide floorboards and interior doors. Beds are very comfortable with excellent linens, and the bathrooms and kitchen were spotless and up-to-date. The house functions extremely well for a group of 10 (with 3 in the guest house, which is also lovely). We were able to dine together, cook together, play games together, but yet still found all the privacy we needed.

The house is larger than it looks in the photos, and has many lovely small corners for reading or noodling on the guitar.

Outside the house the nature trails are full of gorgeous panoramas and hidden coves, spongy moss and fragrant balsam. We took a whale watch from Eastport and saw Minkes and porpoises, harbor seals and bald eagles. Seals regularly swam in front of the house, too.

Sarah Rose, the property manager, was kind and responsive and sent us loads of information beforehand.

We would absolutely love to come here again.”

“Our family - 3 generations - stayed at this spectacular home with fantastic gardens, amazing vistas, some rugged terrain, and beautiful trails. There were endless opportunities for all ages to enjoy themselves both inside and outside. Everyone we encountered, from the owner to onsite personnel was accommodating, kind and so helpful. We could not have asked for more. Thank you all, for creating such a terrific getaway for others to enjoy.”

“Absolutely breathtaking! Every single one of us walked away from this slice of heaven feeling so renewed and refreshed. It was everything we had dreamed of and more! The memory of this vacation we will treasure forever!”

“This is a beautiful, quiet place for people looking to get away from it all. Watching the ocean, spotting bald eagles, exploring all the hikes, reading in one of the many nooks around the property. We can't wait to return.”

“We had an amazing stay at this property. The house was gorgeous and beautifully designed and the beds were very comfortable. The best part was the view which was breathtaking! My children enjoyed playing on the private beach during our stay! I would highly recommend staying here.”

“This Beautiful home and The oasis of natural and raw beauty that surrounded it was nothing short of breath taking. The pictures don’t even do it justice. My family and I had the most wonderful and relaxing time here. The home is so stunning and has everything and more that you could possibly need. You can tell the homeowners really adore the house and marvel at the nature surrounding it. Would highly recommend!! It’s almost like going back in time nature wise but having all the modern comforts at home.”

“We were tempted never to leave but always had a great time when we forced ourselves to venture out from this luxurious large property.  It has breathtaking views of the sea and its own rocky cove, plus plenty of wildlife in the teeming air, woods, and water, and numerous footpaths. There is an outdoor grill and firepit inviting barbecues and conversations late into the night.  The gigantic back porch and deep chairs facing the sea make more talk, a good book, or lazy naps inviting. The bedrooms, kitchen, living and entertaining  spaces are modern and great for having company. When you choose to do so, you and your guests can enjoy the ample offerings of the local farm and sea to table bounty including of course local fresh lobster, lobster, and more lobster: the best you will ever enjoy. Even so, you will want to tear yourself away to sample the friendly, quirky charms of Lubec which include good local restaurants, bake shops, craft stores, fishing and water-sports and wacky events like the annual Pirate festival which can only be experienced, as we did, but never quite explained. The Roosevelt estate and visitor center across the bridge from Lubec is not to be missed. When you stay at Boot Cove, you do not just get away, you are transported to a new level of healthy, reinvigorating, fun existence.”

— Nick and Marla A. (Sept. 2019)

" When we first discovered Lubec several years ago, we were struck by the expanses of untouched natural beauty...97 miles of unspoiled shoreline and the utter simplicity of life in Lubec...a place were nature rules with no question. The home that we love reflects all of the very best Maine has to offer with an uber comfortable and sophisticated living environment. Boot Cove is a magical place, surrounded by the last frontiers of wild Maine that we cherish and we encourage our family and friends to love as well."
