Booked the last available room, which was neat but so small you had to step outside to change your mind. However, the breakfast was the best I've ever had - and the owners were delightful. Bought a copy of their recipe book as we left, but the blueberry pancakes must be classified beyond our clearance. Quiet location; great dining porch. more

An immaculate, welcoming inn...only 15 rooms, some quite small, but nicely decorated with great views of linekin bay... be forewarned there are no tv's and cell reception is poor - but the ambiance and FANTASTIC gourmet breakfasts prepared by innkeeper mike are worth getting up for!! There are fresh baked cookies and tea in the afternoon and port & sherry... more

In July, 2006, my wife and I stayed for four nights at Five Gables Inn. I can't say enough good things about the Inn and its owners. The location is perfect, in East Boothbay, a quiet town with the Inn located directly on an ocean cove. Inn owners De and Mike Kennedy engage in conversation, but only if desired, never... more

It's such a lovely inn that you almost don't want to leave. The breakfast is astounding and the innkeepers are very friendly. The rooms are nicely decorated and spotless. Made boothbay a wonderful experience! more

Very nice, warm inn. We especially enjoyed eating the hot buffet breakfast out on the deck in the sunshine. We stayed in Room 3 which was very attractive, but very tiny. A large person would not have room to squeeze past the bathroom door. Overall, the experience was very pleasant and we would stay here again. more

Walking through the front door gives you an immediate feeling of New England bliss -- warm and welcoming in every respect. We spent two wonderful days and nights there in late September. De and Mike Kennedy are precious people who are among the lucky few in this life to truly have found their calling. Their inn is so inviting, so... more

While we only spent one night here in July 2004, we would highly recommend this Inn. The location is tranquil - the Inn has a gorgeous wrap around porch overlooking the harbor. The interiors are very pretty and well maintained -- it oozes New England charm. The innkeepers are lovely, friendly, and so helpful. The breakfast was delicious, and one... more

We have dear friends of long standing in the Boothbay area and have been visiting for thirty or more years. However, when our friends passed 80, we realized that we were should no longer accept their invitation to stay at their home. So we began hunting for other accommodations. None of our choices was bad; but nothing drew us back... more
