Five Gables Inn
-
The Five Gables Inn overlooking Linekin Bay. Tucked out of the way in East Boothbay, the Five Gables is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Yet a short five minute drive puts you in the middle of Boothbay Harbor with windjammers, trips to Monhegan Island, kayaking, hiking, whale watching, lobster eating, galleries and shopping.
Looking out on Linekin Bay from the Five Gables, time for a swim!
Each morning indulge yourself in our famous multi-course breakfast in the sunlit breakfast room, or wander to the always inviting porch overlooking the water. We invite you to settle in and enjoy the inn's formal, yet comfortable common room, where a crackling fire entices you to curl up and savor the warm, restful atmosphere. Many guests just sink into welcoming wing-back chairs, while reading selections from our library.
Room 14 is our largest room. You may feel like a sea captain in here. Located under the 2 large gables, you'll know you're in Maine when you see the shimmering view of Linekin Bay from this room. After dark, when the view is covered by night, you can enjoy the seating area in front of the working fireplace with its antique marble mantle. King bed. Private bath with shower and skylight.
The star of Room 15 is the seascape mural that goes up and over the bed painted by a local artist. Sleep under hand painted clouds and billowing white awning. This is another one of our gable rooms; with slanted ceilings and a charming window seat with a view of the bay. Large private bath with tub/shower.
Room 6 has a wonderful view of the bay and a working fireplace which dominate this charming room with handmade and hand painted headboard on the queen bed. This lovely room is always a favorite of our repeat guests. Private bath with tub/shower.
Welcome to the Five Gables Inn we look forward to meeting you.
A Maine Coast Bed and Breakfast in East Boothbay, Maine!
The gardens of the Five Gables Inn.
A perfect place for breakfast, afternoon tea or to bring an evening cocktail. We just ask that eventually you leave the porch and spend the night in one of our cozy rooms.

For more than a century the Five Gables Inn has perched on a garden-framed hillside overlooking Linekin Bay. This coastal Maine Inn was originally built in 1896 and underwent an exciting restoration in 1989 which brought back to life one of the only remaining summer hotels in East Boothbay, Maine. Guests relax and enjoy the tranquility of East Boothbay by lounging by the living room fireplace with a book or magazine or sitting back in a rocking chair on the porch, enjoying the gentle sea breezes coming off the bay. Yet a short five minute drive puts you in the middle of Boothbay Harbor with windjammers, trips to Monhegan Island, kayaking, hiking, whale watching, lobster eating, galleries and shopping.

Loved this Inn! With plenty of electrical outlets for charging our gadget batteries our human batteries were charged with the charm of this renovated Inn. Mike and De, as well as Lisa, friendly and upbeat, were very helpful in planning our days. Chef Mike's breakfasts could not be beat. The minute I crossed into Maine, my first time there, I fell in love with the state. This Inn kept the spark going.

Mike and De are the consumate hosts! The breakfasts are to die for. Great place to just relax and let the world go by. Mike and De also have super knowledge of great things to see and do around the area. The Botanical Gardens are a must. Five Gables Inn is on our calendar every year!

4.4 out of 5A Wonderful Start To Our Vacation
October 13, 2008
Just returned from our first trip to New England, which started with three nights at Five Gables....what a brilliant start to our two weeks. Excellent location and, despite it being October, we were still able to sit on the porch for breakfast every morning. Speaking of which, the breakfasts were to die for - all cooked by Mike. YUM!!!!! Mike and De were excellent hosts, made us feel very welcome and had a superb knowledge of the area. It was just such a shame that we had to leave.....but we will most definitely be visiting the Five Gables Inn again.

This was our 2nd stay here and both stays were great. The rooms are lovely and the breakfast is outstanding. It doesn't get any better then sitting on the front porch eating Mike's and De's yummy breakfast. The Five gables is a must. We will be back ASAP.
