Rosegate Cottage | Panoramic Harbor Views + Walk Downtown

Welcome to Rosegate Cottage, a warm and elegant historic home that has long been a beloved part of the Boothbay Harbor landscape. Perched above the waterfront, this refined home offers timeless character, understated beauty, and some of the most spectacular panoramic views of the harbor.

Rosegate offers the kind of coastal Maine experience that feels both elevated and wonderfully relaxed. From its hillside setting, watch boats glide across the water, take in sweeping harbor views, and enjoy the charm of Boothbay Harbor from your own wraparound deck.

Best of all, downtown Boothbay Harbor is just a short stroll away, putting waterfront restaurants, local shops, galleries, sightseeing cruises, and the harbor within easy reach.

Historic Charm & Refined Living Spaces

Inside, Rosegate blends historic character with polished, thoughtfully designed interiors. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the home, while two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and classic New England charm during the cooler months.

The main living room is arranged to make the most of the harbor view, with comfortable seating and a 46-inch Roku TV for relaxed evenings at home.

A second family room offers another inviting gathering space with a sofa + armchairs, a 46-inch Smart TV, and a wood-burning fireplace.

The grassy yard provides additional outdoor space to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting.

Things to Know
-The indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit are available seasonally
-The home does not have air conditioning. Fans are provided throughout the home for guest comfort.
-The seasonal sleeping loft includes two twin beds and is accessed by a steep, narrow staircase. Please note that the loft does not have heat or air conditioning, making it generally too cold for winter use and too warm during the summer months. It is best suited for the shoulder seasons. Due to the staircase and temperature variations, the loft may not be appropriate for all guests and is therefore not included in the home’s total occupancy count.
