After a laborious day of traveling being stuck leaving Tampa after over 2 hours of thunderstorm, we reached our destination at Smugglers. We were in contact with the resort during our delays and kept them updated. When we arrived at the resort at 12:30 am being greeted by the owner and he insure we got settled for our stay. If you want to stay at a resort away from the madness of Boothbay Harbor, this is a great place to stay read less

First, the rooms are clean, beds are very comfortable, and the amazing sunset/views are right from our room (I think every room at this inn has water view). Second, it is easy to enjoy the serenity and is a great way to relax and unwind. Third, this place also has heated pool, free canoes and kayaks + feee breakfast! And finally, Alan, Marj, Chef Dan and rest of the staff ensure their guests are happy with prompt and courteous service.

Also I highly suggest checking out “ocean point view” less than a mile from the inn. read less

This family owned and run Inn was so peaceful and perfect for a romantic get away or a family vacation. My 5 yo had a blast just searching the beach for treasures while we sat at the chairs just watching the water and listening to the waves. If you need anything or have any questions about Boothbay they are so accommodating with helping in any way. Dan the chef at the restaurant was also super friendly and will make you whatever you request. We had an amazing trip and will definitely be back!! read less

The restaurant is solid, a hot breakfast and an affable chef. Service for dinner is great. I would recommend this location if you want to be right on the water, want big rooms and a nice restaurant. read less

Check-in was simple, and we stayed in the "Loft" building up on the hill. Our room was spotless and just right for our three night stay. All the typical room/bath amenities expected and extremely clean. The bedding was very comfortable as we awoke rejuvenated each morning. The view out the large window was spectacular which included the property, the pool area, the beautiful cove and Linekin bay. Over the few days there we really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, the gas fire pit at the waters edge, the pool, complimentary kayaks with access to the water right in front of the property and a sensational sunset. Each morning an ample and tasty breakfast was offered up for guests. It should also be known that the owners and EVERY single person employed at the Inn were sweet as blueberry pie and genuinely wanted to make your stay as easy and pleasant as possible. We left there saying to one another that we would definitely be going back there again next year and staying a bit longer. Thank you for a wonderful mini vacation!! read less

The location is the best feature. The surroundings are tranquil, with a great view of the bay from most of the rooms, and without the crush of tourists around you. Ocean Point Walk is a mile down the road, with a great walking path and rock / tide pool scramble.

On site, there is a heated outdoor pool, with a view of the bay. They also provide free use of kayaks and canoes, which of course we used. Each morning included a hot breakfast, with much more variety than your run of the mill chain hotel.

The hotel is an easy 12 minute drive to downtown Boothbay, with all of the restaurants and shops. More read less

The location is very picturesque and a quiet cove south of the busy downtown area, especially over the Fourth of July weekend.

The innkeepers were very friendly and helpful in making suggestions of where to visit. Everything that we wanted to do was available at this inn - kayaking without any additional charge to take out the kayaks or canoe, a beach and plenty of chairs to sit out and enjoy the ocean view and the sunset, a heated swimming pool, full breakfast and a restaurant that served delicious seafood dinners. The rates were a very reasonable considering all the amenities and the spectacular view! We will definitely be back again and recommend it to others. read less

The owners are on site and very involved with the running of the property and are very welcoming with great customer service! We loved everything about our stay except for the fact that it was toooooo short!! We wanted to stay longer, hopefully next time! The breakfast in their restaurant was delicious and the chef was very personable. The property is very clean and neat and in good repair and a real gem! We even saw a fox! read less

With 2 very busy 2,5 year old boys it can be pretty challenging to find a place like this. Our hosts were very friendly and generous to us and we had a total blast! The playground, pool, beach at low tide to explore and most importantly the open space in between the different buildings was tremendously helpful to allow the boys to run and feel safe doing so. 3 delicious meals prepared by Chef Dan (room stay including a very impressive breakfast) every dinner reasonably priced and flexible style menu! Also highly recommended with kids is the Boothbay Railway village and Glidden Point Oysters! Can’t wait to go back next year for a week!! read less

Alan, the owner, gave good advice on the best hiking trails in the area and even made useful suggestions about our next destination in central Maine. We used the Inn's free sea-kayaks every day of our stay to investigate the adjacent waterway while paddling close to loons, seals, and even a sea otter. This service saved us almost the full cost of our room. The breakfast buffet was included and had much better options than most restaurants in the vicinity. We will definitely stay at the Smugglers Cove Inn again if we ever return to the Boothbay Harbor area. read less

You want stuffy and pretentious people, go elsewhere.

We stayed six days and Alan and Marge always had a friendly hello and and took the time to have a conversation. Room on pier was comfortable with a great balcony.

Now lets talk about the chef Dan. This is someone you definitely would sit down and have a drink with. Great sense of humour and the meals, lets just say we never found a reason to go to town for dinner. Great variety and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied.

Being from northern Ontario Canada, if we ever got and opportunity to travel the area again we would make a point of staying here. Thank you to all the staff. Dave and Marilyn Clarke. read less

These are the things that made it special: the views from the dining area and our room porch, the breakfasts, the canoe/kayaking in the inlet right off the shore, the cleanliness, the special attention by Marge, Alan, and chef Dan, and such a feeling of peace and relaxation that it all added up to make our visit a memorable time. It was a world away from franchise chains and busy interstates/turnpikes in the feel, yet it was not far off the regular route of Boothbay Harbor and other things to do nearby. No, it is not a new place, but one can appreciate the history and work that has gone into making this, along with the weather that this place has endured when not a beautiful day in June like we experienced. The new owners are constantly making upgrades, and their hard work shows.

Do go to the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden while you are there. That was another 5 star experience, especially if you take the boat ride.

Thank you for sharing your world with us, as this was our first trip to Maine. Wonderful all around! More read less

We stayed in a room in the best building of this hotel... directly on the small beach! The surroundings were amazing, and we enjoyed the view morning and evening from the balcony.

Room was large and comfortable. Only issue we had was the tap in the bathroom - it was difficult to open/Close.

Breakfast buffet was nice, even though we missed some yoghurt. But the fritata was very good. We had dinner there one night, and that also tasted very nice.

Staff is very friendly and makes you feel at home.

If I ever come back to Maine, this is the place I shall stay. More read less

Close to everything and away from the madding crowds. They have several buildings all tucked around a small cove. The water is crystal clear; there is a small beach, and plenty of chairs to kickback, relax with a beverage, and watch the sunset. If you get too hot there is a small pool. The owners are onsite and available to answer questions or make great recommendations for daytrips or dining. A buffet breakfast is included at their onsite/separate restaurant. If you don't like the buffet, you can order other breakfast options for a small fee. The restaurant also serves dinner and they offer hotel guests a discount. The room was clean and pleasantly decorated. If you are adventurous, there are kayaks that you can use in the harbor. This is the place to stay if you are looking for a quiet location with beautiful views and friendly staff! More read less

Oh, they’re pet friendly too. read less
