Indulge, Relax and Breathe in Coastal Maine

Do you want to recharge your body and mind and wake up in one of the most beautiful places on the entire East Coast? If so, a trip to the Five Gables Inn, located in the picturesque town of East Boothbay, Maine, might be exactly what the doctor ordered.

East Boothbay is a 200-year-old town that is jam-packed with plenty of history, and the Five Gables Inn is a coastal Maine bed & breakfast that will allow you to soak it all in and enjoy yourself while you kick back and relax. Whether you want to spend all your time at our beautiful East Boothbay inn watching the lobster boats out on Linekin Bay or you want to make your way to nearby Boothbay Harbor where you can enjoy everything from kayaking and hiking to whale watching and lobster eating, there is so much to do during a stay at Five Gables Inn.

Five Gables Inn was originally built back in 1896 and underwent an exciting restoration in 1989. Today you’ll find this boutique hotel features all the amenities you could ever want in a gorgeous coastal Maine bed & breakfast. We have 16 fully air-conditioned guest rooms – 15 of which feature views of Linekin Bay – each equipped with a private en-suite bath, complimentary Wi-Fi, a king or queen-size bed and more.  Additionally, included in your stay is our delicious multiple-course breakfast served on our porch overlooking the bay or in in our common room in front of a roaring fire. All of our breakfast items are made from scratch in our kitchen using the freshest ingredients available and change daily. Guests will also enjoy afternoon tea and homemade treats, swimming off of our dock across the street, beach towels or the opportunity to just sit back and relax in one of our rocking chairs and watch the lobster boats bobbing in the bay from our wrap-around porch. When you visit this East Boothbay inn, you won’t ever want to leave.

Imagine waking with the blissful feeling that your room resembles a Maine cottage overlooking a picturesque bay.

Hi Steve and Susan
You would best remember Mary Pat and Todd when I said you should sell your coffee mugs which you do. We stayed in 4 different B&B’s/Inns over the last eight days. All were very nice but yours hands down stood so much higher in every aspect. Friendliest, superior quality of your breakfast and can’t forget your cookies. Room and entire inn was very clean. Jake very polite and helpful. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. In discussions with everyone we met it always came up where you were staying. Five cables was discussed in great detail. When we come back which we will for sure five cables will be our place to stay. Also Steve every suggestion from restaurants to hikes were spot on.

Todd & Mary Pat Oct 2021

Things To Do

It’s All About the Food!

Breakfast along the Maine coast is meant to be savored, not rushed. What better way to start the day than with a hot cup of our local favorite, “Wicked Joe’s Big House” coffee while watching the lobster boats head out for the day as the sun rises over the Linekin Bay? Then sit back and enjoy our made from scratch delicious multiple-course breakfast served on our porch overlooking the bay or in in our common room in front of a roaring fire. We buy from our local farm stands and pick herbs from our own kitchen garden. A selection of homemade entrees served in front of the fire is a nice way to start your day at the Five Gables.
