Discover a Family Tradition on Linekin Bay

Beautiful, classic Maine home. Wonderful place for a gathering with extended family.

Incredible vacation - Thank you !

Our family of 15 (three generations!) were so pleased to find The Mooring! Finding homes big enough for all of us to be comfortable in for a week is challenging but this home checked all the boxes. It's really a treat to be able to enjoy a seaside cottage that has been in the same family for over 100 years. That sense of history gives The Mooring a very homey and comfortable feel - creaky floorboards and all! Coupled with the charm of a building that is over 100 years old and the lovely antique furniture and furnishings and you have the recipe for a truly unique Maine getaway. And the setting is hard to beat! Our first three days were cold and rainy but the large brick fireplace provided the perfect distraction. The quaint village where the house is located is cozy and charming while still maintaining authenticity. We hiked the walking trails, played tennis and pickle ball at the courts and had pingpong tournaments in the community room behind the post office. Our last night there we drove the 5 minute drive to East Boothbay and had dinner at the newly re-built Lobstermen's Wharf - which was excellent! The Mooring was the perfect basecamp for our large extended family. And if you have an appreciation for historic buildings and cozy cottages, it may be the perfect place for you and your family as well. Highly recommend!

This historic house is an absolute gem to enjoy. It’s brimming with character from the large wrap around deck facing the bay to the creaky wooden floors. It’s easy to see and feel the warmth and memories this house carries in each and every room. We had a group of 14 comfortably enjoy this home for a week. We cooked, we played games, we laughed and we spent hours of our each day on the deck talking and gazing at the salty water hitting the shore. The bay water is much warmer than the Atlantic waters so we also enjoyed time in the water. We had a few small hiccups, as to be expected with a house approaching 100 years old. Despite a few minor inconveniences we would not have traded this house for any other. You can feel the history and the stories this house shares with each guest. The hosts were accommodating, quick to respond and pleasant. We would highly recommend a visit to The Mooring House.
