Seanook after a snowstorm

Winter at Seanook is the best time for relaxing.  Snug and toasty by the fire and surrounded by water on three sides watch weather waft across the waves, ice floats, sea-smoke if the temperatures are just right, and the antics of the various species of ducks as they dive underwater and get chased by lurking seagulls when they emerge with food.  Observe seagulls riding the updrafts, and an occasional eagle. We also have deer, foxes, turkeys, and perhaps a mink.  If you get a storm, the experience can be spectacular! 

In Boothbay Harbor, just three miles away, one of the best restaurants is open every day and there is plenty of parking; the pace is a little slower and the attention a little warmer.  Our world-renowned Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens now celebrates the winter season with “Gardens Aglow” from the end of November through the end of December (reservations online), and the town of Boothbay Harbor is beautifully illuminated as well.

 
Current Winter Specials:

Two people can rent three nights for $580, or rent a week ($1550) and stay two extra nights at no additional charge.

**Winter utilities at Seanook can run anywhere between $450 and $1600 per month depending on how you manage them. Firewood is the least expensive heat and we will source that.   The partially REFUNDABLE deposit to secure against your utilities will be $1600/month.  We will coordinate with you before you leave to settle as many accounts as possible, depending on when the bills arrive (electricity, firewood, and propane).  This is based on two to four-person occupancy with occasional guests possible up to six people total. Children count as people! Please inquire about pets for monthly rentals.  Our preference is not more than 1 dog.  No cats.

Other Fees

Linen service:  Many people bring their own linens, or you may use our linen service for $60 per stay ($35 for just two people).  This includes sheets, towels, and kitchen linens for the whole house and all your guests for your entire time.  You are welcome to use as many of our pillows and blankets, provided in the many chests and drawers around, to make the beds to suit your own desires, whether or not you bring your own linens. Bed sizes are:  King in the master bedroom, which can be two twins on advance request; Queen in the front bedroom with this view from the bed looking down the bay (if you heave the curtains open); and Two Twins in the third bedroom, which can be put together for a King on advance request.

Pet Fee:  A per visit charge of $350 for each dog, maximum 2 dogs.  $100 toward each dog is partially or wholly refundable depending on possible damage and how much time we must spend cleaning on your departure specifically after the animal(s) including grounds clean-up.  If we have to do the latter, you will not get your $100 back!  No cats.

 
State tax:  We are required to collect 9% lodging tax for the state. We will figure the correct amount and itemize it on your contract.
 
Cleaning fee for One night stay.  If you want to deviate from our two-night minimum and stay just one night, there will be an extra $80 cleaning fee.   Otherwise, we do not charge for cleaning.

Credit Cards:  All rates shown are our lowest prices for payment only by cash, or check.  To pay by any other method, please inquire about our regular season rates and let us know what method you prefer to use.  We try to keep our rates reasonable.  That is why we list only on sites that allow us to have direct contact with our guests and no longer list on HomeAway or Trip Advisor, as their guest and host fees are so exorbitant.  We are still on Airbnb at the summer rates year-round.  If you find us on Booking.com or other spurious sites, those are pirated listings.

 
 
Reservation or Booking Fee:  One-half of the total rent is payable in advance as a deposit to hold your time; the remainder is due on arrival.  If you are booking a year in advance, one-quarter of the total rent will be sufficient as a deposit to hold your time until January 1 of the year you are coming and will be completely refundable until then.  By January 1 of the year you are coming, the second quarter is due, and the entire deposit will be subject to our normal cancelation policy.  
 
Our Cancellation Policy is as follows: if you are unable to keep your reservation, you must notify us more than 30 days in advance of your arrival date and we must succeed in re-renting most of your stay; then you may reschedule for another available time, or we will refund your deposit less a $100 per reserved week re-booking fee.  Should we be unable to find someone else to take your reserved time, or if the cancellation is 30 days or less from your reserved arrival, you will forfeit your deposit.
