Our family includes two children. They found the pool and free use of kayaks to be great. The free breakfast was very good. I really liked being in East Boothbay and not Boothbay Harbor (15 min drive)

This is a converted motor lodge so the rooms were very small but refreshed and decorated tastefully. The location is about a 15 minute drive from downtown Boothbay but the geography of the area and winding roads cause that. The real star of the property is the restaurant and included breakfast which far exceeded expectations.

They are just opening for the season. Possibly understaffed. Complimentary breakfast is very good in terms of selection, but always on the cold side even with the use of chaffing dishes. We had no hot water in our bathroom sink. It was never fixed despite telling two different people about the issue on two separate days. Excellent location to view the sunsets. Good dinner at their restaurant.

This is a great little family owned hotel out of the hustle and bustle. They offer use of kayaks, a firepit, and fishing poles. The buffet breakfast is generous and the rooms are very clean.

Great restaurant, great room
The breakfast buffet was amazing. Plenty of food, lots of choices. The parking was difficult; that was probably the worst thing about the Inn. But looking at the landscape you can see there isn't much place for improvement there and they have done the best they can with the land they have.

We had a ocean front room that was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and included with the price of the room. There are new owners who appear to be doing their best to make renovations and upgrades. We would definitely recommend and stay again should we come back this way!

Cute little bedroom with fridge & microwave & TV. My husband & I were really looking forward to use pool & paddle board/kayaks but there were missing parts. The pool was covered in filled with pollen-which wasn’t kept up with so it was green. The paddle board were missing ankle strap & the kayak was missing a seat so we weren’t comfortable using those amenities. Breakfast was decent each morning & we were excited to try the dinner on site but it was waaay overpriced & not many options. We would probably stay again for the fact it was reasonably priced & convenient.

Our visit to Smugglers cove Inn was very nice. The unit was comfortable, clean and had a gorgeous view! Our only issue was with the satellite TV due to inclimate weather - which they did all they could to try to fix to no avail. We enjoyed our time in Boothbay Harbor.

Good for what it is…a converted motor inn with additional buildings. Everyone was very nice but the a/c was so loud we had to turn it off the sleep. The breakfast buffet was all cold. Good enough to sleep in a relatively clean room, but not somewhere we’d return to.

Beautiful property. Pool was saltwater, warm and beautiful! There were all kinds of boats, no extra charge. Lawn games, fire pit, incredible views! Close to downtown/harbor but I really would’ve been happy to hang at the property the whole time. Our room’s mattress was lumpy and I couldn’t believe it, you could tell just by looking at it when you walked in the room. Parking was horrendous, but they can’t do much better, it’s like that all around here, rocky shoreline, limited space. Besides the mattress, it was a dream!
