I spent 3 wonderful days here with a good friend. The Pond House is on a quiet street, but the shops and restaurants of Boothbay Harbor are just a short walk away. The grassy back yard gently slopes down to a gem of a pond. Lie on the ultra-comfy chaise lounges and you are floating in summer bliss. Frogs serenaded... More
