Located in downtown Boothbay Harbor, Maine, The Harborage Inn, with over 48 years of family history in the innkeeping business, offers LUXURIOUS Brand New accommodations with the tranquil peace of the Maine coast.

Our SPACIOUS Deluxe Rooms & Oceanfront Suites with panoramic harbor views and sumptuous & seasonal GOURMET BREAKFASTS are the reason we have welcomed decades of returning guests year after year. Guests enjoy our DOWNTOWN & CENTRAL LOCATION which allows them to stroll to all waterfront activities, boat excursions, and restaurants, and then retreat back to our inn to bask in the secluded privacy of our Seaside location. A luxurious & modern hybrid between a boutique Inn or hotel and a charming B&B with larger rooms & spacious bathrooms with unique special touches.

Highlight of our Maine Coast road trip

Reviewed By PDXSteph

My mom and I stayed here for 2 nights in May, and this stay was our favorite in a 10 road trip up the coast of Maine. We stayed on the top floor, which was a challenge for my 83 year old mom, but she was mentally prepared for the stairs and wanted to stay at the top for the better views (good views are on all floors, though). We ended up getting a couple of dinners to go so we could enjoy the deck. The breakfasts are AMAZING! I am still dreaming of them. Both of us are allergic to gluten, and it was no problem to accommodate us. Alex and staff are very attentive, even helped with the luggage when we got in. I left a few things behind, and Alex and Maria kindly shipped them back to me - in the midst of the busy tourist season. I highly recommend a stay in Boothbay Harbor (great spot to base day trips, and really nice people everywhere!) and I highly recommend staying at Harborage Inn.

Felt like Home

Reviewed By GeorgiaDeb

Harbour Towne Inn is wonderful. It sits near the end of the harbour… quiet, yet close to all the activity. This B&B is delightfully decorated, with a comfy bed in a spacious room, private bath with mini fridge and microwave, and has a wide deck outside with seating that affords a relaxing view of the harbor. It was adorably decorated, and had an abundance of colorful flowers all about the property. Stephanie is a very gracious host - she serves a breakfast of scrumptious quiches, homemade muffins, fresh fruit, fresh juice and coffee, and even serves warm cookies in the evening. It’s picture postcard perfect!

Lovely, quant inn with ocean cove views

Reviewed By DaveO33250

Five Gables Inn in East Boothbay was a delightful surprise. Our hosts, Steve and Susan, were so welcoming we thought they were old friends. Breakfast was always delicious with some unique added extras. The rooms were each different and very nicely decorated in nautical Coastal Maine style. They were very comfortable, and most have views of the cove, across the street. The Inn is located on a long dead-end street which allowed for nice, leisurely walks with more views of the cove and the many lovely homes in East Boothbay. We highly recommend the Five Gables.

My second visit here and I enjoyed it every bit as much as the first. The staff is wonderful. Our room was just what we needed for our brief stay in Boothbay Harbor. A short walk to the famous footbridge and the whole town is there to explore. I'll definitely plan a third visit if my travels plans carry me in that direction again.

2 Night Stay

Reviewed By Judyp5grand

So, I didn’t realize this “inn” is basically a motel. It’s clean, comfortable beds, very small….bathroom very small, they give you slivers of soap. Stained tile in bathroom from a leak above. I would call it a tired 80’s look. It was not a place I looked forward to returning to for a respite after a morning & afternoon of touring. The lady who checked us in was efficient, but, don’t try to ask any questions as she has her “Schpiel” that will ultimately answer your most of your ?’s. She does NOT like to be interrupted….I guess it throws her off track. Who knows, it’s a little off putting though for someone in the hospitality industry. Our first night we were awakened by sounds about 1:30 am that sound like they were throwing around boulders. That went on for about an hour before they settled down. Sunday morning we were awakened at 6:30 am by totally inconsiderate smokers who chose to use the chairs under our window for smoking and talking. If you stay here, my advice would be to remove those chairs. The front desk response was “oh, folks are not supposed to smoke there, but, guess what? There was no sign saying so an no one to stop them. Getting back to check in, we asked the woman about restaurant recommendations and her response was “I don’t eat out, so, I can’t say, similar to what another reviewer wrote. Bottom line, I would not recommend this place. Spend a little more money and get a more pleasant experience. Judy May 2022

Great place to stay!

Reviewed By gjslhs

When you look at the outside of this hotel, it seems to be a little tired looking. The rooms, however, are fantastic! So much room, great views, comfortable bed and pillows, and very clean! The bathroom was a bit small, but adequate. Breakfast was yogurt and muffins and fruit, but enough. Coffee was good. Staff was extremely friendly. Definitely a place to consider staying at when in town.

Classic New England

Reviewed By 1TNtraveler

This is a classic New England resort (think family camps like in the movie Dirty Dancing). It sits on an island with beautiful ocean views. The accommodations are older, but comfortable (the wall heater was not working in one of our rooms, but staff had already provided a space hater that was quite sufficient). There are lots of activities available ... a pool, miniature golf, kayaks, hiking, tennis, bicycles. The included breakfast was amazing, with sitdown service and lovely views. The staff is great. A trip into Booth Bay Harbor is about 10 minues.

Newagen Seaside Inn

Frommer's Travel Guide said, "It's hard to convey the magnificence of the ocean views, maybe the best of any Inn's in Maine." The open sea, rocky cliffs and thick forest create an enchanting setting for the historic Newagen Seaside Inn, poised on the tip of Southport Island in the heart of Maine's famed Boothbay Harbor region. Make some memories at the newly restored, yet always historic, Newagen Seaside Inn, at the edge of the sea.

Thank you for not allowing dogs

Reviewed By 41harveyd

Yay!! This place is one of the few in New England that DOESN'T allow dogs. (Who wants a mangy beast sniffing your leg while you're trying to eat breakfast?) Thank you to the management... I'll be sure to stay here again for some peace and quiet, for that reason alone.
