Atlantic Ark Inn 62 Atlantic Avenue, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538

"Website indicated no availability months ago. . So we called. She said she’d work us in but then said she wasn’t sure she could and wasn’t sure it went through when she tried doing it over the phone. We never heard from her again. Literally months later she says we are a no show and charges us hundreds and hundreds of dollars. During our conversation she admits she wrote down wrong contact info for us, never confirmed and made us pay full amount. Guest must Pay for host mistake. Absolutely ruined our vacation and our finances. Horrific. AVOID this place!!!!’"

"This was our first stay in a B&B. Donna certainly delivered! My wife and I had a splendid time at this historic location. We stayed in Room #2. Donna has upgraded the house just enough to have all the amenities necessary, but to also keep the historic charm that we were looking for. The breakfasts were delicious on the weekend and we also met some other wonderful couples. We had a private entrance and a porch which was beautiful. Convenient walking distance to everything in Boothbay Harbor. Seriously, we were there 5 days and walked literally everywhere - it was awesome. Couldn't recommend this Inn more, great experience."

"Small but perfect! Stayed 4 nights with my husband in the one bedroom on the 3rd floor! Even though it was small the room it was perfect for two! The bed was comfortable the room was clean and nicely furnished! It was very quiet and even though the weather was very warm the air conditioning kept it cool! Our host Donna was very nice and helpful! Hope to come back and stay again!!"

"My wife and I just spent 4 nights at the Atlantic Ark Inn. We went there originally for our honeymoon 22 years ago. This was visit number 8 over the years. It is the most amazing experience to stay there. The bed is super comfortable. The ambiance of the Inn is so relaxing. Donna has hired a new chef, and Jose is incredible. The food was delicious, and the presentation was perfect. All the staff are super friendly and courteous. We can't wait to return."

"An unexpected opportunity arose for my husband and I to take our first trip to Maine last summer. Not knowing a lot about places, but wanting to head north out of Portland airport on our way to Winter Harbor and only wanting to drive 1-2 hours that first day, we discovered Atlantic Ark Inn and Boothbay Harbor. With no expectations, we arrived and from the moment we stepped onto the beautiful front porch we were welcomed. Everything about the ambiance, the host/hostess, the room, and the food was perfect. The location is wonderful, everything was spotless clean and our room at the top of the stairs was absolutely charming and spacious. The spa-like bath enticed me to soak and relax before heading out to see the village. I have been remiss in not adding my review earlier but if you have a chance to visit Boothbay you will find it endearing with plenty of good food and shopping. Do not miss a stay at the Atlantic Ark Inn."
