About this house rental
Come away from it all....catch your breath.
Six miles from the bustle of Boothbay Harbor is a peaceful waterfront retreat, called Bold Colorful Life, set among rolling fields, meandering stone walls and richly colored perennial gardens........imagine a place that evokes your fondest memories....and brings your vacation dreams to bold colorful life....
The Bold Colorful Life estate consists of four New England-style buildings: Farmhouse and historic, 200 year-old Homer Jones barn; a centrally-located garden shed; a charming, renovated 1800s Cape and the Gallery Barn.
The Farmhouse combines new convenience with historical flavor, with exterior porches and dormers, and a new deck with fabulous river views, all surrounded by gardens.
Inside, the first floor holds a large, fully-equipped kitchen, dining area and Great Room, built and furnished with 200 year-old barn-boards and timbers. These rooms face the river, the sunsets and the pond. A cozy media room with current technology and a handicap-accessible King bedroom and bath face the courtyard. On the second floor are four additional bedrooms with private baths; two facing the courtyard, two facing the river, and a Gathering Room above the Great Room.
Wake to birdsong in the apple trees and early morning fog on the Back River....then make yourself delicious coffee and a hearty, healthy breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen in the elegant Farmhouse.
Wander 15 acres of gardens and woodland trails....borrow a sit-on-top kayak to paddle with local seals....enjoy games, meet our friendly bald eagles and other critters.....watch the Maine painted turtles or listen to frogs on the freshwater pond......wander the park-like grounds.....enjoy our 'forest bathing' invitations on site...wander our Enchanted Trail and our Fairy Walk...take a cool dip or a sail on the river....
Refreshed, venture out into the Boothbay region to join a tour boat to see whales or puffins, or to go lobstering, shop, view our many art galleries, try some local restaurants and generally have a memorable visit. The Coastal Maine Botanical Garden is only 4 miles away! So is the world-class Boothbay Harbor Country Club golf course! Or try hiking at any of the 13 preserves within 10 miles of this home.
At the end of the day, imagine coming ‘home’ to a snack and drink on the front or new back deck....a good book in the hammock.....a sunset through the windows....and a long, delicious sleep in one of your five lovely bedrooms with four private baths, colorful bedding, paddle fans, cable TV, WiFli.
Or come home to a peaceful evening in one of your five charming bedrooms with four private baths, colorful bedding, paddle fans, cable TV, WiFli....in the Cape house across the courtyard. Listing# 325241.
Renewed again, live your bold and colorful life! Both buildings (the charming historic Cape #325241and the elegant Farmhouse #229721) are available year-round.
It's the perfect destination for a personal retreat, family or school reunion, wedding or other gathering event.

Our home was lovely. Kitchen was huge and well stocked for our family of 8 adults. The home is well loved by the owner and you can tell by the care taken of the property. The great room had a fantastic view of the river behind. There were plenty of activities on the property and it was an easy drive to Boothbay for other activities.There was a lot of seating both inside and outside we enjoyed a nice view with our morning coffee on the deck. Hammocks were comfy and the peaceful nature around us was a breath of fresh air. Our family took advantage of the walking paths on the property and the owner gave us many other options around Boothbay.

Wonderful spot right on a river and 10 minutes outside Boothbay Harbor. Beautiful setting and great house.

Our group of 8 (three generations of family) spent a wonderful week on this bucolic property.The beautiful farmhouse was clean and well furnished and looked exactly as it was represented in the photos. Bedding and towels were plentiful and clean. The house included everything we could possibly need -- if you can think of it, it was available, from laundry detergent to Tupperware to plenty of hangers to spices. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. The area was quiet except for the sweet sounds of birds and frogs from the picturesque pond on the property. The kayaks were great and made for a fabulous adventure. We loved hanging out in nearby Boothbay Harbor. It is obvious that Melissa loves this place!
