We stayed in the Cedar Building at the resort for 5 nights in September, 2011. We had initially reserved a room by mistake in the pet friendly building, but my wife is allergic to dogs. When we explained this we were immediately upgraded free of charge. How anyone can give this establishment one or two stars is beyond our comprehension.... More

This was our first visit to Glen Cove, but it won't be our last. The spacious grounds, facilities, and variety of activities (canoeing, kayaking, swimming, mini putt) offer opportunities to satisfy the interests of singles, couples, and families. The water views are exceptional (see photos) and staff members are relaxed and helpful. We enjoyed ourselves throughly. More

I wanted a place that my husband and I could stay for a few days to celebrate his birthday. I almost missed this jewel. I found an ad for Ocean Gate Resort in a AAA tourbook and my inquiry was my last in Boothbay Harbor before moving on to another town in Maine. I was impressed with the website and... More

I booked my stay here after reviewing their website. I arrived in the dark and after making my way down a long dirt road arrived at the office. My room at the "resort" had brown edged wallpaper that was rolling at the seams, non functioning smoke detectors......the piece de resistance was the fowl smelling heater...by morning my throat was hoarse...

Most of our guests appreciate the fact that we are set back from the noise of a main highway or downtown traffic on our private 45 acre wooded setting. This requires driving down our short but scenic entrance road. Although this guest originally booked a non-waterview economy room, management offered an initial upgrade and then later a further upgrade to... More

My favorite girl and I enjoyed a lovely overnight stay at the Ocean Gate Resort in mid September. Our room, a single room and bathroom, overlooked a scenic rocky harbor. A full and filling breakfast was included. There are probably no "bad" or "unscenic" places to stay in the Boothbay environs, but we will surely return to the Ocean Gate.... More

Never actually got to stay because Hurricane Irene was heading our way! We had to cut our trip short (on 36 hours notice) in order to try to return to Connecticut in time to secure our home - where we eventually had 6 feet of water (with white caps) in our yard and lost 8 trees! I realize business is... More

I'm not certain how your particular situation fell through the cracks but I can say, without hesitation, that the Ocean Gate Resort offered one of the most generous compensation programs in the industry during the recent spate of bad weather events including Hurricane Irene as well as the flooding that affected upstate New York, Michigan, Vermont, etc. Although we were...

My husband and I found this place over the internet. The pictures looked too good to be true. But to our great surprise the resort was exactly how it was portrayed.
