Snatch the last five remaiining nights at Seanook for the 2013 summer season, July 6 - 10, and enjoy discount tickets to our world class BOTANICAL GARDENS and 5% off notecards, reproductions, and paintings at PARADISE STUDIO and you'll have a very special getaway!

Seanook is like being on a boat on Linekin Bay; at Paradise Studio Mary Ellen depicts scenes of the area in her realistic oils. For photos and more information about both visit our own website listed below. To preview the Botanical Gardens go to www.mainegardens.org.

The pro-rated price for the five nights is $2071 for up to 8 people, plus discount tickets to the Botanical Gardens and 5% off art at Paradise Studio across the road.

Applicable dates are: July 6 - 10, 2013, and you must book all five nights, which pro-rates to $2071 for the period. If interested please email us directly at paradisestudio@roadrunner.com, because the 'get a quote' mechanism will not work for this short time.

Seanook is so close to the water that the tide comes in around and underneath. Being here is like staying on a boat, except it doesn't rock. Panoramic windows and 4 decks put you over the water. Watch weather waft across the waves and spectacular sunsets reflected in calm. On a rainy night the pitter-patter on the roof will lull you to sleep. Wake up to the call of seabirds and the lapping of little ripples. The ever-changing moods of the bay will entertain you on 3 sides year-round. See vibrant colors develop along the shore in October. In winter you can be toasty warm by the cozy fire, and watch the ice floats and wildlife on the bay all at once. If you are lucky enough to get snowfall, the views are pristine!

Seanook is a long-time family cottage, now a nearly complete year-round home. Experience this special place while it is available.

A romantic getaway in any season -- you may decide to just sit and watch the play of light and wind on the water. See seagulls, osprey, and an occasional eagle soar. You'll observe a variety of ducks in winter, and perhaps a seal or a beaver in summer. Read a book or sunbathe on the upper deck. Go beach-combing to discover varied creatures that abound along the shore of the Gulf of Maine. Go kayaking if it's calm. Anglers of any age can fish right off the dock. Writers find Seanook a peaceful private retreat where they can work on their manuscripts. Day hikes in one of the many land preserves are a favorite outdoor activity. Or, you can take a picnic to Ocean Point, and watch the waves roll in from the open sea and the ships pass by. How about a romantic sail at sunset? Many boat excursions are offered in nearby Boothbay Harbor. You will also find lighthouse tours, museums, and art studios starting with nearby Paradise Studio.

Some of the best eateries are right here in Boothbay. Walk through the woods to the East Boothbay General Store. The harbor is just three miles away, and offers many shops, boat excursions, and gourmet restaurants. Live theater has a dramatic presence in Boothbay Harbor with events nightly at the Opera House, including Family Night on Tuesdays. Afternoon tea is a yearly tradition with some of our long time renters. Visit the aquarium in summer, where children's programs and classes enhance the quality of the coastal experience. Take a short boat ride to Burnt Island where costumed guides reenact life of a lighthouse keeper's family in the late '50's. Go antiquing, or gallery hopping starting with nearby Paradise Studio. L.L.Bean and other outlets are just an hour away in Freeport. Acadia National Park is a three to four hour drive down east, with miles of scenic coastline and quaint villages to explore in between. Perhaps you would like deep sea fishing.

If you are lucky enough to get a snowstorm the views are pristine. Email or call us for a reservation.

About Mary Ellen

When I purchased the family summer property, it needed complete revamping! I alternated a month in Colorado and a month in Boothbay while Paradise Cottage (my grandmother's summer house) was winterized and expanded, and Seanook (the vacation house of my childhood) was practically torn down and rebuilt. The early March morning after I arrived the final time to stay, I met Ron, who was working for my contractor on Seanook. Since then we have done all the work around the place ourselves. The following winter we built a scale model of our future shop/studio on the diningroom table and broke ground in August of 2000.

Mary Ellen purchased this cottage in 1997
Why Mary Ellen chose Boothbay Harbor

Seanook was purchased by my mother, a native Mainer, in 1947. At the time it was nothing more than a tiny three month summer bungalow, but I loved the spot and everything about it as a child. It was my life-long dream to return there to live. Ron and I stay on the property year-round. Every season is our favorite! We are forever changing and improving wherever we can. In everything we do we try to maintain some of the rustic seaside character of the place, and imbue it with our own personalities and creative curves.

What makes this cottage unique

To wake up every morning to the call of seabirds and the quiet lapping of little waves, the varying moods of the ocean bay, and the verdent Maine woods is about as close to ideal as one can get.

Seanook is located in Mid-Coast Maine only three miles from Boothbay Harbor. Our unique spot at the head of Linekin Bay on our own little peninsula affords us water views on three sides including a tantalizing vista to the mouth of the bay and open ocean. You may decide to just sit and watch the play of light and wind on the water. Writers find Seanook a peaceful private retreat where they can work on their manuscripts. Children of all ages enjoy exploring the beaches to discover varied creatures that abound along the shore of the Gulf of Maine. Anglers can fish right off the dock. If you want to relax at any season, this is the spot! We welcome a couple as readily as a family or group of friends. Seanook is an ideal place for a small reunion or retreat. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Artist studios, gourmet seafood restaurants, antiquing, boating excursions, fishing, kayaking, hiking, golf, and live theater are some of the activities to be found in this area.

My husband and I have vacationed in the Boothbay
Harbor area for the past 23 years and have stayed
in a variety of inns, houses, and apartments.
Almost every year we have driven to or through East
Boothbay either to eat at Lobsterman's Wharf or on
our way to Ocean Point. We had no idea that just
off of the main road, there was a little piece of
heaven on Linekin Bay.

Our friends found Seanook Cottage on the internet
and booked the four of us for the last week of May.
We had the most relaxing, peaceful, wonderful
vacation there. The views from inside the house
and from the numerous decks are spectacular.
From our bedroom, the last thing we saw before we
closed our eyes at night was the full moon shining
on the beautiful water. The first thing we saw when
we woke up in the morning was the picturesque
sailboats and lobster boats. Across the bay, you
can see the architecture of both new and restored
houses and the Five Gables Inn nestled among the
wooded landscape. Just a short, brisk walk away
from Seanook through beautiful woods and along
the water is the wonderfully restored East Boothbay
General Store. They have a remarkable menu of
delicious salads, sandwiches, and pizza. And don't
forget the tasty breakfast pizza and muffins!

Seanook is only about three scenic miles from
Boothbay Harbor, where you can find a wide array
of shopping, dining, and harbor activities. The
Boothbay region is central to so much else in Mid-
Coast Maine, and daytrips are essential! Our
husbands played golf at the beautiful Samoset
Resort ("The Pebble Beach of the Atlantic"), where
most of the front nine holes are laid out along the
ocean. Pemaquid Point Lighthouse is a must and
one of our favorite spots. Freeport with all of its
great outlet stores is just a short drive away.

Seanook is undergoing a long restoration process,
but you will hardly know it because Ron and Mary
Ellen have made it so comfortable. I can't say
enough about their helpfulness and eagerness to
please their guests. Although you won't even
realize they are there unless you need them, it is
great to have your hosts so near by.

I must admit I hesitated to write these comments
out of selfishness. Seanook is like a rare gift that
you want to keep all to yourself! I can't wait until
our next visit. We feel that we have found our
home in the Boothbay region!

There were six of us - six galpals who haven't spent time together for years. We arrived at Seanook on Saturday, November 6th, 2012. Maryellen met the first four girls and was very kind showing them all the amenities. When I arrived with another gal, the fire was going and supper was already made. The girls made themselves at home, easy to do in such lovely accomodations!
The kitchen has everything, we brought food and ate all our meals at Seanook. It was so nice to just kick back, relax and enjoy the beautiful views. There is plenty of comfortable seating and the fire was lovely. I can't believe all the windows!
We enjoyed a day in the town of Bath and explored Booth Bay. Although it is quite this time of year, it was serene and peaceful. Love the area!
I would recommend Seanook - it is wonderful!

A special place

We stayed at Seanook for three nights and had a wonderful time. the setting is lovely regardless of the weather...coastal fog creates an atmosphere for slowing down...sunshine is a gift of constant surprise. The home is warm and cozy with all the amenities one could want. All three bedrooms have terrific views. My only suggestion is for more reading lights downstairs but especially in the second bedroom.
I hope to return again!

The Perfect Getaway Spot(s)

My family, friends, and I (in some combination) have been vacationing in Maine for decades. It has only been the past few years that we have accessed VRBO to help us find suitable rentals. I am not a hotel type. I like a whole house - I like space - I like to cook - and I like my privacy, all needs which are met by renting your own house. Last year my sister and I stumbled upon the Paradise Cottage/Seanook vacation houses that led me to write this review.
If you want peace, beauty, privacy, and a true getaway with all the amenities (in other words, Maine the way it should be), then these two cottages are for you.
Owned and operated by two of the nicest, most talented and interesting people you will ever know, each cottage feels like home the moment you step through the door. And, while you are there, it truly does feel as comfortable as being at home, except without the problems and a much better view. Purposed attention is paid to stocking the house with all that you will need to cook, be warm, comfortable, entertained (books, games, puzzles, etc.).
Seanook is right on the water with the most stunning views of the bay and a fireplace in the living room and the master bedroom, offering that cozy warmth one often needs any evening in Maine - even in the summer. Paradise Cottage, just across the street offering similar views and ambiance is a bit smaller but lacking nothing in the way of comfort and charm.
If you are looking for a true getaway, one where you can actually drop your worries outside the door, these two properties are worthy for consideration and should be on your list of "must sees."

Second-time around, just as superb

A gem. And I write this review with great hesitation. We don't want anyone else to know about this place because we like it so much that we want to be able to go back whenever we can. So... please read this and then decide to go somewhere else :).

On both occasions, we arrived very late at night so our first impressions were tempered by not being able to see the surroundings. Never mind. The cottage is lovely and the owners, who clearly adore the place, left it well lit -- not to mention well appointed such that we were enchanted even without being able to see the surrounding environment. We were thrilled to wake up the next morning to see that we were right on/over the water... just gorgeous.

As someone else said, the kitchen is extremely well equipped (as in several types of coffee makers, great knifes, plenty of pots&pans, implements, dishes, and silverware) and pleasant for cooking as there are water views everywhere you look. Bed (we only slept in the master bedroom) is very comfortable and -- guess what -- there are water views everywhere. There are numerous other sitting areas looking out at ... the water!

Because the owners are still renovating -- and are very talented in their design, we were able to see progress from the first visit to the second - not that there was anything wrong the first time, just not finished. They've done a great job of making it completely pleasant even as the renos are going on. And it's a joy to see how it's evolving. What am I talking about? The side counters in the kitchen (next to stove, for example), weren't finished the first time we were there -- completely functional but not finished; the second time they were -- lovely, curved lines, painted, poly'ed -- that kind of thing.

The geraniums belong in a competition.

The outdoor area going out to the dock, the picnic table along the shore, the stone steps down to the beach -- all stunning.

And a great place to work too, if that's your style (ours). Quiet, enveloping...just lovely. But don't book it. We won't like you very much if you do :).
