The property was lovely. At the end of a quiet road, overlooking the water, the dome house was a lovely. It was an excellent home base to enjoy booth bay. Also being minutes from the botanical garden was awesome, we ended up going twice.

The house was very clean and quiet at the end of a dirt road. It overlooked a tidal inlet off of the river. We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the water. The house was close to town, groceries etc. There were neighbors across the inlet but they were quiet. The beds were comfortable. I would enjoy staying there again.

Property was outstanding, clean , well equipped a great find. Only little feedback would be that older renters would appreciate access to “normal” TV

House was cute and cozy! Loved the deck by the water and that we weren’t surrounded by neighbors. Nice private location.

Beautiful cabin in great location! Overall we loved our stay here, we chose this as a central location, so we could travel around Maine but we really enjoyed Boothbay Harbor too which had great restaurant and Shoppes. The cabin is very secluded and had beautiful view of the water. The only complaint I would have was the linens bedding and towels) could have been nicer. The mattress was a little uncomfortable. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely book the dome house again..

Thank God we brought our own toilet paper, I guess one role should last for 4 nights/5 days? Floor was dirty alone with dog drool all over the sliding glass door, dog hair and on the cough/pillows! The deck was filthy. And by the way we cover the cough with a sheet for our dog!!! No instruction for heat/AC! The water looked great when the tide was in, looked real gross when it was out! The cleaning charge should be credited, my 10-year-old grandson son could have done a better job! . Will never use VRBO again and definitely never stay at the Dome House again!!!

Simply just sitting out on the porch is beyond relaxing and peaceful.. never mind the views and wildlife! Our dog Oakley also enjoyed his stay and loved wandering the woods!
We also visited Botanical Gardens, did some Lazy Jack Sailing, Barrett Park, and lots of restaurants, ice cream and cute gift shops!
We WILL be back for sure!

We had a great time while visiting Maine and this home is great for relaxing and taking in the views. Very private and comfortable with a touch of quirkiness. We hope to we can visit again in 2023.

We really enjoyed the sense of calm and beauty at this cottage by the cove. The deck had a great view, the trees were lovely and provided shade, and the surrounding area was conducive to R&R. We also thought the mattresses were super-comfortable. Thank you!

It was a beautiful spot. Very quiet. Nice view of the river.

The house was sparkling clean and very comfortable for two people and a small dog. The setting is ideal: deep woods and ocean on your own cove. The water (when the tide is in) is even closer than it looks in the pictures. We met very friendly neighbors on our daily walks and enjoyed swimming and kayaking from the community dock. The kitchen was very well equipped and we enjoyed eating our meals on the beautiful deck. We slept extremely well and look forward to our next stay!

Great stay at the Dome House!!!!
It was so peaceful and quite. The house was clean, comfortable, spacious, and awesome!!!! The view out the windows and on the patio was breath taking. The town of Boothbay where the Dome House is located was a friendly little town. I wanted to travel around the town more but the Dome House was so comfortable I didn't want to leave. The next time I am in Maine I will definitely stay here at the Dome House.

Beautiful spot, secluded yet easy to get into Boothbay Harbor. Convenient location for many of the Nature Preserve trails. The house was clean and comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen wares(pots, pans etc) was wonderful. Enjoying a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the cove and watching the birds was relaxing and exactly what we needed. We would book this house again.

Cute, interesting house in the woods. Very workable kitchen, nice new bath. As others mentioned the couches are not the most comfy, the tv will only stream so bring your logins and passwords for watching. Heating worked well to warm things up in mid October for us. There are other heaters/AC/dehumidifiers that could use some instruction on how/when to use.

Convenient location for Boothbay activities, especially the Botanical Garden; yet a quiet and private retreat.
Totally removed from light pollution -- so great star-gazing.

Loved that it was pet friendly. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, and even plastic wrap and baggies. Cute house, but beds rather hard and couch uncomfortable.

Other than the fact that no lights worked in the kitchen, it was an adequate rental. Everything else was as advertised.

This unique house was in a beautiful,private location. It was a couple minutes drive from the Botanical Gardens and a little over 10 minute drive to downtown Boothbay. The only reason I did not give this location 5 stars was there appeared to be an electrical issue with the kitchen lighting- not a big deal we just used a lamp from a bedroom and the couches were incredibly uncomfortable. We did not spend much time inside except for the evening to maybe watch a movie but found the furniture too uncomfortable to sit on. It would have been nice to have a fan or ceiling fan in the house as well- if we were to visit again we would definitely have brought one to circulate air.
We saw lots of wild life and even had a den of fox approximately 20 feet from my vehicle which were fun to watch but had to be very careful with our dog.
Highly recommend replacing the couches and adding a fan or 2! Other then that is a was a very pleasant stay and would consider staying there again.

The Dome House was a great place to stay near all the Boothbay area has to offer, yet you feel a world away from it all. The water view changes with the tides and it is very quiet and relaxing. The accommodation is unique and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and there was even toiletries upon arrival. The beds were well made up with extra blankets and clean towels.We had a very nice stay and will be back again!
