Great Family Vacation State
Review Submitted: July 13, 2011
Date of Stay: June 2011
The "Bold Colorful Life Inn" we rented for 7days was the best choice I had ever made for my family reunion. We were 8 adults and 2 infants in a 5 suite mansion. Each room had its own bath and theme colored. Plush robes were provided, which we all wore every morning for breakfast. The space in the kitchen and dining area easily sits 20 people and with plenty of counter space for self serve meals. The house was large enough that we could all be doing separate activities at the same time without disturbing each other or those who preferred to sleep in the bedrooms on the first or second floor.
The green lawn in front of the house provided a safe heaven for the little ones to crawl or run around while the adults played freesbe, BBQ or simply sat on the porch.
The house was 10minutes by car from "downtown" Boothbay, were we rented kayaks and went on several tours like whale watching and "lobstering". A big and nice playground was between the house and downtown, a great location to allow the little ones to play while the adults rested.
Melissa, the owner of Bold Colorful is a great hostess. She provided maps, information regarding tours and also had several items in the fridge we could use as a start up upon our arrival. The kitchen as well as each room were complete, with anything you needed from blenders to waffle makes. The bathrooms and bedrooms with linens, pillows, blankets, towels, hair dryers and more.
When our vacation was over, we also left some left overs for the next renters and also new items they would need like coffee filters and sugar.
Last but not least, Melissa was always close by not only to chat, but in case of emergency. Luckily we had no emergencies despite the wide range of ages from 9 months to 87 years old gread grandparents.
If you plan to go to Maine and have a good time in a great place, go to Bold Colorful Life Inn. I am sure you won't regret it.
How did I find it? It's the best well kept secret in Maine.

Owner's Response: As all readers can tell, Marianne is a fountain of positive energy and love. She and her family were a joy to have at the Bold Colorful Life estate...from their teamwork making meals to their enjoyment of each other and the surroundings, every day was a celebration for this group. They planned outings and wandered the greater midcoast Maine area, then returned to enjoy the peace and quiet of the site each afternoon. They split up to pursue their different interests; then returned to share stories on the back porch or over a meal. I am so glad they chose Boothbay and this estate and hope they return again and again!
