My wife and I decided to very spontaneously stay an evening in Boothbay Harbor this past August. We've visited the town frequently and just love the place. Our critieria was twofold in settling for a place...1) walking distance to the docks, and 2) view of the open harbor (not some water, rocks, and the opposite shore. We checked out a few quaint B&B's but nothing clicked. We checked out a hotel on the water and the rooms just screamed "Motel 6". On our rambling down Commercal Street, we came to the Admiral's Quarters. We actually stayed there once back in 1986 and initially hesitated. We remembered it as just old. We met Kim at the front desk and found that the establishment was aquired by the Greenleaf Inn and had gone through extensive renovation. We decided to grab the last room available and we were more than happy we did. While our room wasn't up to the location and view of the front rooms and their balconies, it was spacious, comfortable, and homey. It was beautiful day (a little cool, but how often is it hot in Boothbay?) so we sat on the front deck with a bottle of wine and just watched the harbor life. Kim suggested dinner at the Italian restaurant three doors down. Wow! Breakfast the next morning was great. The eating area is actually in the adjacent Greenleaf Inn. It is spacious and allows separate seating. However we had a few couples next to us with whom we instantly struck up conversations with. Oh yeah, the breakfast. Kim served up a hollowed out tomato with a poached egg inside, sitting on a "birds nest" of angel hair pasta. There was fresh fruit, fresh yogurt, and unusual but pleaseing selections such as hummus and tabouleh. This is the only place we're going to check out the next time we're in Boothbay Harbor.

Admirals Quarters is a wonderful clean beautiful B&B.......We had lovely coastal views and 3 private balconeys to sit and watch the beauty of Maine.....Friendly staff who really cared about us.......It is close to fantastic shopping , boat trips, restaurants and all Boothbay has to offer.........also convenient parking right at the inn.
When planning my yearly vacation to Maine, the Admirals Quarters is the only place I will be staying.

As is my usual habit I decided at the last minute to go the "best village in Maine" Boothbay Harbor and called Jeff Teel "innkeeper parexcellance" to hopefully find "room at the inn" in the Greenleaf Inn my long time favorite and looking to stay in what I like to refer to as "my room" room #1 at the Greenleaf. Jeff advised me that the Greenleaf ( an absolutely perfect oceanside inn and one I have stayed at many times throughout the years) was full but that he had one room left at the Greenleaf's sister Inn the Admirals Quarters. I of course accepted anticipating as always a pleasant stay and visit but a bit disappointed at not being able to stay in "my room" at the Greenleaf. Upon my arrival I was given ( coincidently) room #1 at the Admirals Quarters. I walked in and found what is without doubt a room with what has to be one of the most stunning views of the harbor in the village. It is selcuded and private with a patio that extends to a spacious lawn with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets to begin and end your day with. Of course the room is more than comfortable and has all of the usual outstanding aminities that are a hallmark of the Inns at Greenleaf Lane. Jeff along with his right hands Kim and Mim insure that you want for nothing during your stay and welcome you as a friend and family guest not a tourist. Metro rounds out the team providing welcome and comfort all. I think I have a new favorite room #1 or better yet two favorite room # 1's. Believe me you will not be disappointed staying at either of the Inns at Greenleaf Lane in my opinion they both rate five stars along with Jeff , Kim and the great staff.

We loved this place. The rooms were just beautiful and the beds very comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious and the staff very friendly and courteous. Even though it's a B&B you don't have to eat at the same table with everyone - it's like a little restaurant with separate tables. My only complaint is the overbearing smell of Febreeze in our rooms and on our sheets. I have bad allergies to fragrances and I wasn't able to sleep very well because of this, What are they covering up? There are charcoal type products which absorb odors naturally - try those instead.
