Guest Reviews

• Wayne (10/5): - We stayed in the small cottage behind the main house from which we could see the harbor through her lovely little flower garden. We only made it to one breakfast but that one was delicious. she was always friendly and helpful.
• Richard (10/5): Relaxing Stay in Solitude - Donna was a wonderful hostess. She greeted us warmly and really wanted to know a bit about us and what brought us to Boothbay Harbor (an anniversary celebration). Her orientation to our accommodations and the town was very helpful. We stayed in “solitude “, a lovely, separate cottage behind the main house that was perfect for us. We will definitely return to Atlantic Ark in the future.
• Bruce (10/5): Very quaint Inn - My wife and I had a great stay at Atlantic Ark Inn. Host Donna is very accommodating; very willing to help with any need. We stayed in the "Tranquility room." The mattress is very, very firm, we told Donna about it and she provided a nice mattress topper that made our night's sleep much nicer. Breakfast was served on weekends on and was very delicious! The harbor view from our bedroom was very nice. Currently there is no fridge or microwave oven in the room but Donna is looking to remedy that in the near future. Overall a very nice place to stay!
• James (10/5): - A wonderful location and most accommodating management.
• Linda (10/5): - Loved having breakfast on the porch and talking to other guests while looking out at a stunning view of the harbor. The room was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. Our host Donna was willing to go above and beyond for us. Will definitely stay there again.
• elizabeth carolyn (10/5): - Our host Donna was very nice and helpful too! Our room was very clean and tastefully decorated! We were able to walk to town and a yummy breakfast spot from the inn. It was very quiet where we were even though the inn was full! We stayed on the top floor (only available) in a small cozy room which was perfect for my husband and me! Hopefully we can come again! Loved it!!
• Verified traveler (6/5): Ok, but Nothing Special - Unfortunately the Inn only serves breakfast on Sat. and Sun. morning. Owner is very nice, but seems somewhat overwhelmed. We had stayed at the Inn previously and it’s now more like a boarding house rather than a B&B that it was in the past.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - In a good location. Very near the footbridge. A lovely view with delicious breakfast.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The view was amazing. Owner incredibly kind and caring
• Adrian (10/5): great place - If you are looking for a great quiet escape near the town The Atlantic inn is amazing. Our room was immaculate with an amazing view of the Harbor. Thanks Donna
• Michael (10/5): Perfect Stay - Absolutely perfect stay! I can not overstate how amazing, not only the Atlantic Ark is, but how incredibly kind and gracious Donna, our host was. I will never stay anywhere else when in Boothbay. In fact, I can’t wait to go back.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Donna was happy to help with anything that we needed
• Connie (10/5): - Very friendly and hospitable owner. Made us feel at home
• Verified traveler (10/5): Botanical garden visit - Great location and setting. Service tops
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We were in a lovely little cabin. It was quiet, private and cozy. Anne is a wonderful hostess.
• Nancy (6/5): - The property is a small old historic inn on the main street of Boothbay Harbor, with a very small parking area. The rooms are small and getting to them is up a long steep staircase which is a problem. The bathroom in our room was good, and the breakfast was good.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff was very personable and it had a homely feel .
• marilyn (10/5): Sweet stay near town - Small bnb with tons of character - walking distance to town. The breakfast was superb. I really wished it was a little earlier. 9 am usually finds me on the road. But I would stay there again
• Verified traveler (8/5): Home like In in Boothbay - Staff was terrific, Ann made us feel Like family coming home for a visit. She was welcoming and friendly. Atlantic Ark is in a great location. Wonderful breakfast.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Donna & her staff were excellent & welcoming hosts.. The property was old but very well kept. It was very convenient to downtown Boothbay Harbor. Only a 10 minute walk. Breakfasts were wonderfully prepared by Ann. Enjoyed our 5 night stay.
• Richard (10/5): Boothbay - Clean and comfortable Breakfasts were good This was our first time doing a B&B
• Ann (10/5): Fun Time - Atlantic Ark Inn was terrific. Very nice accommodations. Friendly staff and excellent breakfasts. Boothbay is a real treat.
• Bonny (4/5): - We only stayed at this BnB for a couple of nights... our wedding anniversary. We love Boothbay Harbor and have had many wonderful stays at various bnbs and inns. This hotel was located with a “peek” through to the bay and had a nice little porch, although seTing was limited. Parking was cramped for our SUV, and we had to look elsewhere in town to park our (small) kayak trailer. Staff was friendly and the breakfast was very nice.our room however left a lot to be desired - especially the bed. Two twin. Ed’s were pushed together to make a king. Although there was a comforter topper over the mattress for additional padding, the mattress was ancient and in poor condition. We really felt every lump. The room was small, cramped with older furniture that needed painting and not well lit. This Inn seemed to have good ratings (why we chose it), and we really try to give good ratings whenever possible, this was far from a stellar experience.
• Daniel (10/5): - Belle maison typiquement Côte Est et Très bon déjeuner
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place to stay.
• Lida (10/5): - We had the best room at the inn...large room with a private deck, view of the water, jacuzzi in the bathroom. Gracious and friendly host and staff, incredible home-cooked breakfasts. Highly recommended!
• Samuel (10/5): - Great Staff and Owner. We had a great time and the breakfast that was cooked for us both mornings was delicious. It was very convenient to Boothbay harbor. Just a short walk away.
• Thomas (10/5): Loved Staying Here - We loved our stay! Our room was charming, very comfortable, and very clean. The hospitality was amazing and friendly. After you have a few of Jose's breakfasts you will want to take him home with you. The area is perfect, on the "quiet side" of the water but close to the footbridge to cross to the other side. Everything about our stay was perfect.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Wonderful trip away for my husband and I. Very comfortable beds and accommodations. Our room was quite small but it was the only one left. Next time we will request the loft! Food was gourmet and excellent.
• Debra (10/5): - GREAT LOCATION. LOVED WALKING OVER THE FOOTBRIDGE INTO TOWN. VERY NEAT AND CLEAN AND THE BREAKFAST WAS EXCELLENT. VERY WELCOMING.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great place, 5 minute walk to heart of town - Very nice place, delicious breakfast, attentive owner. It's a short walk across the Boothbay Harbor footbridge to the downtown and plenty of shops and restaurants.
• Edna (8/5): - Professional and friendly service. Devon is an excellent chef. The owner should due a few improvements . The B&B is low key and quiet.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Expecting a hotel but was a bed and breakfast. My fault;didn't research enough.
• vicki (10/5): Host,house keeper and cook all exceptional - Stayed one night before going on to Portland area to meet up with family. Entire experience was smooth and made us to feel comfortable.

• Stephenie (10/5): Delightful! - What a relaxing place to stay! Devon and Elease were so gracious and helpful. Our room was cozy and comfortable and breakfast was amazing. Best french toast ever! The Inn was a short walk from the foot bridge that lead to quaint shops and all kinds of restaurants. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
• Joanne and Bob (10/5): Peaceful and Quaint - We recently spent 3 very enjoyable nights at the Atlantic Ark Inn. The Inn was beautiful and the breakfasts were delicious and nutritious. We were close to the town center of Boothbay Harbor, with easy access across a lovely walking bridge. The view from the Inn was lovely as was the decor. We would stay here again in the future.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Quaint, friendly and memorable - From the greeting at the door, to the farewells after breakfast our last day, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our bedroom had the most amazing " cloud bed that enveloped us and made us want to bring it home with us (room 3). Amazing breakfast in the morning. We highly recommend this place!!
