Boothbay Harbor Inn
Choose a room with a balcony at the Boothbay Harbor Inn, and spend your mornings or evenings looking out onto picturesque views of the harbor. Open mid-May to mid-October, this centrally-located hotel has simple, comfortable décor, and the wooden planks of the waterfront boardwalks are just outside your door. If you're looking to entertain a group, ask the front desk about organizing an authentic Maine clambake for you that can even include a harbor cruise and day excursions to nearby Camden, Mt. Battie or Pemaquid Point Lighthouse.

Brown Wharf Inn
Every one of the 70 rooms at the family-owned and -operated Brown Wharf Inn offers a balcony and view of Boothbay Harbor. Look for the signature Old Lobster Fisherman statue out front, and you'll know you're at the right quaint and quirky hotel. Have a drink the Old Salt Shed Lounge, housed in a building on the property that has been in use since the early 1700s, or stay for dinner at the on-site restaurant known for great seafood dishes and, of course, fresh Maine lobster. To get out and enjoy the area, try fishing from the hotel's pier, pull your boat up to the hotel's dock, or step across the historic footbridge near the hotel to explore all the shops, galleries and museums that Boothbay Harbor has to offer.
