Overall, my experience at Smuggler’s Cove Inn was exceptional. The management and staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and stress-free.
My car broke down upon arrival (did not start) the management was incredibly helpful and friendly. They even transported my family into town so we could get the supplies we needed for our holiday stay — something we truly didn’t expect, but greatly appreciated.
They also kindly extended our stay without any interruptions, allowing me to coordinate travel plans and head home a day after our originally scheduled departure.
Thank you, Smuggler’s Cove, for the outstanding hospitality. We’re grateful and will definitely be back!

I can't say enough good things about smuggler's cove!! Beautiful location with views and friendly staff. The all you can eat breakfast that comes with your room rate is top notch and even being gluten free there was plenty I could get my fill of. The scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and bacon and fruit were my go to but the pancakes and french toast and assortment of pastries and bagels looked delicious. Highly recommend you check this place out when in Booth Bay. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We visited Smugglers Cove for 4 nights and we had an amazing stay! The owners and their sons are very welcoming and easy to talk with. Our room was clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was fresh, hot, and delicious. There were many choices on the breakfast buffet both hot and cold and they continuously replenish to keep it fresh. Coffee was delicious too!
The kayaks, corn hole, heated pool were amazing. A beautiful property with excellent staff always ready to help or make your stay more comfortable.
They also serve dinner, (Not included) that was very good and convenient.
Even a firepit to relax by after a long day.
Definitely recommend! And we will return!

We had the BEST time at Smuggler's Cove Inn. The views from every part of the property are spectacular and the rooms are simple and nicely renovated. Each room comes with a porch or balcony. The little beach and the saltwater pool were perfect for my 4 year old and we spent lots of time throwing rocks in the ocean and splashing in the pool. We watched the fireworks from Boothbay Harbor on 4th of July from the grass overlooking the water. The hotel even hosted their own fireworks show afterwards (this was the first time they have done this - not sure if they will make it a tradition but it was magical). We had a couple conversations with the owners who are lovely and have created a very welcoming space. The property is very well maintained with cornhole and places to play catch, sit and enjoy the view or have a bonfire . The breakfast was excellent - one of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had. We ate dinner one night at the restaurant and not only was the food excellent, but they went above and beyond to cater to my kid who was cranky from a day of travel. Bought myself a Smugglers Cove mug to remember the magic when I drink my coffee at home. Thank you for a wonderful visit. We can't wait to come back.

We traveled through New England for 9 days and this hotel was the highlight of our trip. It was so nice to relax and enjoy the beautiful view in our comfortable room after a long week of exploring. The amenities are thoughtful and plentiful. The staff are so kind and helpful. These nice people and incredible location helped facilitate memories that will stick with us for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend this place enough and I look forward to visiting again.

This was the perfect place for our two nights in the Boothbay Harbor area. The price was right and the room was very comfortable. We really appreciated the onsite restaurant and great breakfast buffet that was included. Kayaks, Cornhole and a heated pool were available. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

It was our first time in the Boothbay Harbor area, and we were delighted with Smuggler's Cove. It is only about five miles from Boothbay Harbor itself, but on a peninsula with wonderful Maine cottages and houses. …

There was a lovely view from our room and deck. The beds were very comfortable, and we slept very well. We were so glad they opened the restaurant on a Wednesday. The restaurant was airy and had views. The food was excellent, especially the scallops. The breakfast was also amazing.

What a hidden gem! The bacon alone at breakfast is worth it!!! We loved watching the sunset from our room. Lots of activities. Staff were very friendly and kind. The location is close to Ocean Point and Boothbay Harbor. Go ahead and book.

We stayed in the lantern building which is newly redone. Beds were comfortable and the breakfast buffet was awesome. It's also a very short drive to the downtown where again, there are many cute little shops and wonderful eateries.

The room appeared recently updated. They were clean and inviting. The views from the anchor building were lovely.
Staff was professional and attentive.
Worth the pool, kayaks, fire pit and beatify setting we wished we had stayed longer!
On-site restaurant was convenient as well as delicious. A wonderful stay. Thank you!

Nice family run resort. The family goes out of their way to keep you happy. Views are excellent. Breakfasts were AMAZING. Room was small but very clean. It’s out of the way enough to be peaceful yet right on the harbor and close to Boothbay and ocean point.
