Great cottage, great location, great scenery! This place has it all. If you're looking to stay in the area, this is the place to consider! Very clean and cute decor. Feels like you're at home. Close to all the fun activities to check out while Downeast. Amazing deck views as well as beautiful gardens and large yard to play in. Hopefully we can make this an annual trip! Well worth it! (Even during a nor'easter)

AMAZING!!

Lubec Bay Cottage is, without question, the most comfortably and beautifully appointed vacation rental I've ever enjoyed. Catherine, the owner, thought of every single contingency, and the home is idyllic, serene, gorgeous and cozy. It has the most stunning view, two very comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, so many different wonderful places to relax and settle in, a beautiful art studio and any information a guest could possibly need about the surrounding areas. AND Catherine had a basket of local goods, fresh flowers and an anniversary card and cake waiting for us! It was a dream and I'm already planning my next trip back.

Utterly Perfect In Every Way

From the amenities to the little touches, this is the perfect place for a seaside getaway. The cottage is effortlessly cozy. We enjoyed the deck, the beautiful garden, the use of board games and DVDs ... it was simply perfection!

Perfection

Rental

This home was everything it looked like in the listing. From the fresh cut flowers to the little goodie bag and fresh produce left at the door step, it was just stellar. This little town was so peaceful and everyone was so nice, we had a great time. Walked the beach and collected so many rocks and sea glass. Hiked for miles and ate some of the best seafood we’ve ever had. We would highly recommend this home and this town.

Peace and quiet

We made our choice to stay at Lubec Bay Cottage back in April, and were not disappointed in the least when we finally arrived and spent our 8 nights this October. The only downside I could see was that the weather was a little too cool to spend enjoying the nice deck and balcony and fire pit like we had envisioned. The cottage is wonderful, rustic, peaceful and cozy! We were so comfortable and felt welcome. The Lubec (and Eastport) areas were great to explore and the locals (and tourists) were friendly. There are so many State Parks, wildlife preserves, forests and shorelines that you wouldn't see (or do them) all in 10 years. And fresh seafood is readily available (and cheaply obtained to cook yourself), with reasonably priced restaurants around. We will be coming back again !

Coastal Maine at it's best!

Lubec Bay cottage is perfect both inside and out! Catherine has decorated her place beautifully and comfortably in a way designed to make her guests feel relaxed and at home. Upon arrival, we discovered a wonderful gift bag filled with local fresh produce and local goodies...so very thoughtful and welcoming. We awoke every morning to a spectacular sunrise view over the ocean---it was indescribably peaceful, beautiful and private. We enjoyed breathtaking trails at Quoddy State Park, whale watching and visiting Campobello Island. We ended each day gazing at phenomenal star filled skies from the spacious deck of Catherine's cottage after stuffing ourselves on delicious home cooked fresh lobster. Lubec is a beautiful unspoiled destination that offers the perfect balance between activity and peaceful relaxation and Catherine's cottage is a perfect sanctuary in this magical town. We were very sad to leave and can't wait to come back to Lubec Bay Cottage!

Beautiful Oceanfront Retreat

Things we noticed: acrobatic shearwaters on the Bay of Fundy, kittiwakes at the Salt Pond, eagles hunting, skittish sandpipers stumbling on irish sea moss, clam diggers filling buckets at low tide. Osprey nests overlooking Cutler Bay. Periwinkle snails on the beach path. Massive spider webs. Wildflowers and Catherine’s lovely garden. The buzzing of bees. An absence of airplanes and traffic. Wind in the sea grass. Bear tracks. Stars. Subtle whale songs off the coast of West Quoddy. Humpback whales dipping under our boat near East Quoddy. Fin whales, minke whales, seals, and a glimpse of an eagle’s nest in Passamaquoddy Bay. The scent of balsam, spruce. An arctic bog. Wilderness. Hiking. Sea air. The diesel chugging of a lone lobster boat at 5 in the morning as the sun rose over Campobello Island. The down to earth townsfolk, and, what I call the Maine Wave - a rising of the hand, a hello, a friendly acknowledgement. For entertainment skip the TV and play Scrabble, read the guest comments left for Catherine, hit Summer Keys, The Lubec Grange, and Shanna Wheelock's Crow Town Gallery on South Lubec Rd. for concerts. At Crow Town, the ceiling is made of the same wood as violins giving a superb acoustical experience. The backdrop of the stage at Crow Town is Lubec Bay, and her melancholy sculptures - what she calls Column Vessels - pottery imprinted with the detritus of abandoned sardine factories - stand as witnesses. We utilized the well-equipped kitchen to cook our meals and also went to Frank’s Wharfside, Water Street Tavern, and Cohill’s for food. The produce Catherine left was an over the top kindness and much appreciated. We immediately made mint-watermelon water to sip on the porch. I brought home the handmade soap, honey, and maple syrup knowing I would miss this place the minute I stepped foot in the door. Lasty, and certainly not least, read the book Downeast Maine / A World Apart in the nook upstairs. Lubec, Maine is truly a world apart, and reading it will give you new eyes to appreciate the dance between the people and environment here. I have traveled widely abroad and at home, and there were three times I awoke the morning after returning from traveling and felt out of sorts: Guatemala, Africa, and Lubec, Maine. This is a very special place, and Catherine has done an exquisite job of anticipating the needs of her guests at every turn. More than highly recommend, I urge you to visit. Don’t waste another minute deciding.

Cozy retreat that boasts adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion in a small fishing village

My husband and I and brother all agree with the very positive reviews written by others. Nothing was overstated. It's all true, and we loved every minute of our stay. Catherine thought of absolutely everything that guests would enjoy - a lovely gift basket on the kitchen table and a refrigerator of locally grown greens and veggies overwhelmed us, and we used everything. Particularly memorable was waking up to the morning sun across the marsh and gazing at the stars from our bedroom balcony. We found tons of things to do in the area - from visiting the small sardine museum in Lubec and attending a delightful Wednesday night Summer Keys concert at the Congregational Church to walking trails at Quoddy Head, in the woods down near Cutler, viewing the Bay of Fundy tidal effect at Reversing Falls Park up in west Pembrook and Cobscook Bay State Park. In addition we spent a great afternoon in Eastport, visiting the town, Shackford Head State Park and stopping in a small Barracks Museum museum and finding the remains of Fort Sullivan. Monica's Chocolates and the tour at Raye's Mustard were fun stops also. And, of course, Roosevelt's estate at Campobello was great - went there two days. We would highly recommend this well-situated and well-appointed cottage!

Fabulous view in a charming cottage with an AMAZING owner!

This summer was our 10th at Lubec Bay Cottage—a testimonial to the beautiful, comfortable, welcoming home that Catherine has created. We had another wonderful week of morning walks to South Lubec Beach and Quoddy Head and afternoons spent in favorite places on Campobello Island. We love returning year after year to the view of the meadow and water (visible from almost every spot in the house, including the shower!), a house that feels like home, and a perfect location that gives us easy access to all that we love about Lubec.

Always wonderful

What a fabulous stay at a lovely cottage! And the setting is extraordinary too! Lubec Bay Cottage was our home for a week as three of us rambled about Downeast Maine and a bit of New Brunswick. Catherine has developed a wonderful property -- exceedingly well-equipped, immaculate, nicely decorated and perfectly situated between the village of Lubec and West Quoddy State Park. The two decks -- one upstairs off master bedroom, an expansive one off the kitchen-dining area -- were where we spent much of our time at home. Admiring water and meadow views while grilling, dining, reading, having a glass of wine...a perfect set-up for having friends over or a quiet moment enjoying the 4:15 am sunrise! The living room was comfortable too. And both bedrooms (three beds total, all upstairs) had comfy linens. Very thoughtful, welcoming touches throughout. Great to have a bathroom on each floor, with showers in both (plus tub upstairs).Highlights of our trip were: the puffin trip from Cutler to Machias Seal Island (wow!); Tea with Eleanor" at the Roosevelts' summer home on Campobello Island (bring passports); lighthouses (West Quoddy

Perfect Base for Exploring Bold Coast & Campobello

Can't begin to express how much we enjoyed our stay. The cottage was the perfect get away spot, so peaceful and relaxing. can't wait to plan another trip. Fall would be the perfect time to return.Thank you so much to the owner for the home away from home feeling.

Lubec Bay Cottage

We had a great time again this year. Cottage is perfect and has stunning views of Lubec Bay and Campebello Island.

Loved Lubec Bay

One can read the descriptions of the various cottage offerings, and conclude that every one of them is paradise. I'm here to tell you, some are, most aren't. What's lacking in most cottage rentals is the last 10% of the equation. That last ten is typically either cleanliness, or worn out or missing furniture or equipment. You know, the things that make you feel like you are at home. Or better put, not at home at all, because you can't be comfortable. Towels that won't absorb anymore, two squares of bathroom tissue left, a bar of soap left behind with that hair on it, dust motes in the corner, a fire place that smokes the house up. You can be assured, the owner of this cottage has thought about all that, and offers her guests a very home like experience. Not, it probably doesn't look like your own home, but you get the idea. Everything in this cottage, and outside too, is sparkling clean. All the linens have long useful lives ahead of them, the furniture is all in good repair and appealing. The various decorations are tasteful. You don't have to wonder what that mysterious splatter on the mirror is, because there isn't one. All the artwork appears to be genuine and local. The owner has a good eye for local art, and in particular, watercolorists. Every kitchen need has been anticipated, and accounted for. This is the first cottage we stayed in Lubec, where everything worked, and well at that. Knives are sharp, the dishes won't break, and there's even a fully equipped picnic ice bag on the porch. The flashlights are charged, and there's even a scooper for your pet to use...we're still training ours to do that. Even the flowers in the yard were happy to see us. And what a delight to have fresh cut lilacs to freshen our kitchen window. All this before I even tell you that the cottage itself is lovely, the siting perfect, overlooking the bay. The morning sunrise will knock you socks off. The deck off the master bedroom was a treat, too, and perfect for an afternoon wine. Rise at midnight to see the fire flies frolicking over the salt marsh on the water side. In all, this cottage is a treat for the senses, clean, and comfortable. You host makes every effort to make you stay as pleasant as the setting. You will be pleasantly surprised with the nice things she leaves there for you. You get what you pay for, and then some. A real vacation value, though, and more than the sum of it's parts.

Have it all for a week!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lubec Bay Cottage & recommend it to anyone who wants to experience life in nature & tranquility! The environment is so beautiful that you just want to lounge on the large deck reading & gazing at the heavenly views available to you right in front of this exceptionally quaint cottage! The kitchen is fully equipped to be able to please any chef hiding in you. The beds are comfortable. The vast living room offers pleasing evenings in a beautiful decor. Taking a short walk to the water edge with your dog is so much fun!Visiting Campobello Island, Lubec, & our favourite Quoddy Head State Park will remain a lasting memory!Thank you ever so much Catherine for all your help taking care of your customers! PS your Cottage reflects your very good taste!

Lubec Bay Cottage the Place to go, be, & stay!

I would return to this beautiful cottage. With the sunrise coming each morning laying in bed and enjoying the wonderous sight. Catherine has made a beautiful place to go back to a simpler and quiet time. You needed for nothing there. Just relax and enjoy the beautiful town and surroundings.

The cottage was quaint, cozy and beautifully decorated.

We loved this choice we made for our 50th Anniversary celebration. It has wonderful views, interesting and arty decor, and everything we needed to cook, relax, and explore the area. We birded and hiked the numerous trails. We visited Campobello several times to explore and to dine at Family Fisheries and the Pier. We also enjoyed Franks in Lubec. We were a little early in the year for a lot of the restaurants and tourist attractions, which were to begin summer hours in about two weeks, but it didn't stop us from having a great experience and lots of Lobster. Catherine is a very thoughtful hostess and provides everything from tons of travel brochures, to rubber boots, and even a Goodie Bag" with several local products. You can't do any better than this lovely cottage for a true "Down East" experience."

The Lubec Bay Cottage is superlative.

Me, my daughter, my sister, & our mom...girls trip. There is a very welcoming feel to this cottage. It’s not a 5 star hotel but it was a 5 star for us for sure. We stopped at a gricery store 30 minutes out not knowing what to expect in Lubec (that was a good call) but once we got to this clean & comfortable home, we didn’t need a thing! We were greeted with a welcome bag of goodies from soap to honey & coffee beans. The kitchen had everything we needed from lobster claw crackers to coffee bean grinder which we used to enjoy the coffee she gave us. H & D is near by for delicious fish & scallops and/or (we did both) buy live lobster & fresh scallops & take back to the cottage. Don’t forget the butter!!! FYI...bacon wrapped scallops are amazing! We enjoyed walking down to the beach @ Quoddy Lighthouse & drove over to Canada to admire that lighthouse & lucked into seeing eagles at both spots & backyard of cottage. Walked the bog at low tide (be careful, it comes in FAST). Walked Mowry Beach & collected some nice sea glass. So much to do & we were there on off season when most stores/restaurants are closed. Every day was a new adventure & then looked forward to cottage for dinner & games. FYI...sun comes up EARLY so go to bed early! Lol. Loved our stay! Ty, Catherine!

Definitely “Home Away From Home”!

Lubec Bay Coittage is a great base of operations for exploring Down East any time of year. I've stayed in November and May and always found lots of things to do - particularly outdoors! The cottage is clean, wonderfully decorated and has all you'll need for a comfortable stay. You'll be enchanted by a different, beautiful view of sunrise each day and on clear nights the sky is amazing! Catherine provides lots of information on local attractions - look on the fridge and in the handy notebook.

A great place to stay any time of year

Cottage was great and the owner went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Catherine's pride for her house is evident the second you walk in. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast one morning using the ingredients she left us in a gift basket. When the fog lifted we were met with a beautiful view of the bay. It even made washing dishes enjoyable. Stairs were very steep and there is no downstairs bedroom so keep in mind if you have mobility isssues. Comfortable and plenty of room for the four of us. The only thing I would make note of is at this time of year we found out that the season is over and pretty much all the shops and restaurants were closed in Lubec and even across the border in New Brunswick.

Lovely cottage

Very well appointed; we were able to cook comfortably and relax outside/ inside. We did so much exploring didn’t need tv. We saw seals, eagles, bought fresh local lobster and cooked at home, went clamming and cooked chowder. So close to lots of amazing parks, lighthouses, endless options. felt like we packed-in as much as we could outdoors and still really loved coming back to the cottage.

Super unique, everything 4 Texans looking for a Maine Autumn experience could want for!

Reservations included perfect details to help us plan our time at the house & surrounding area. The house had all the touches & extras to make our stay to warm & comfy. Thank you!

Lovely home

We absolutely loved the property- it is very well appointed and it seems as though the owner has thought of every little detail that would make guests more comfortable. There is nothing negative to say about this place! When we have the opportunity to visit the area again (which is really gorgeous) we will not hesitate to try and reserve this again. Thank you Catherine for your awesome creativity and allowing us to stay at this beautiful home! :)

Fantastic place to stay -you will not be disappointed!

Beauty, quiet, solitude, and ease of use were the hallmarks of our stay at Lubec Bay Cottage. The cottage is roomy and comfortable with a charming seashore decor and lots of windows to let in the glorious sunshine. The whole house is completely stocked, indoors and outdoors, for the comfort and enjoyment of guests. The large back deck has a patio table with comfy chairs, porch swing, and a Song Sparrow singing its sweet music. The balcony off the master bedroom looks out over the beautiful shoreline. Imagine waking up to a full view of the ocean and spectacular sunrises through the glass patio doors. The large kitchen and dining area also have views of the ocean. You supply the food - everything else you need to prepare a meal is there.The cottage was very clean and well-maintained. We arrived to find a gift bag full of local products such as yummy jam and sweet smelling soap. We had very good communication with the owner. She even called us after a couple of days to see if we needed anything. Our full deposit was refunded promptly. We appreciated the clear, detailed instructions about what we should do before we left the cottage - where to put the trash, which specific lights to leave on, etc.Lubec Bay Cottage was the perfect site for us birdwatchers. We walked down “our” private boardwalk to the shoreside behind the cottage and relaxed in the Adirondack chairs with binoculars. We saw Common Yellowthroats, Bobolinks, Yellow Warblers, Song Sparrows, and a Golden Eagle among others.We enjoyed birdwatching, good food, & listening to the locals at the FIsherman’s Wharf Restaurant and Seafood. We saw several warblers on a stroll along the Mowry Beach Boardwalk in Lubec. Capt. Ralph of Downeast Charter Boat Tours took us out on the bays and showed us seabirds, bald eagles, seals, porpoises, and local folks digging for clams and harvesting periwinkles (a local delicacy). And, what an incredible sight to see when the tide changes in the Lubec area - it varies between 19-29 feet!We spent a day exploring Campobello Island. Be sure to visit the Roosevelt Campobello International Park, including the homes and the numerous trails that wind through varying habitats. At the opposite end of the island stands the East Quoddy Lighthouse. We were the first tourists of the season to walk across the beach to the lighthouse that is only accessible for a short time during the low tide.Lubec Bay Cottage was our beautiful, cozy home base. Thanks Catherine!

Sunshine and Songbirds at Lubec Bay Cottage

We saw Catherine's place on line; it was only the second place we looked at and looked no further. Love at first sight, and just from the pictures.The location is perfect, the areas are spacious and cozy at the same time, the unit is well-equipped in the kitchen and the bedrooms; they even provide the extra-large capacity washer and dryer with their own homemade laundry detergent. We'd planned to do some exploring in the area, and we did, but some days we just settled in with a hot tea and relaxed.We're both chefs, and were impressed with the quality of the kitchen tools and appliances. Roomy fridge, gas stove, toaster oven, razor-sharp knives, coffee grinder (that's better than our own!), even a food processor. We ate in more often than we dined out.The living room is equipped with a 44 flat-screen TV and

They Thought Of Everything!

Meticulousy thoughtful in all the appointments, this property gave me the quiet comfort of God's country. Purpose of my stay there was to recharge and give my campanion dog friend some new trails to explore. Both of my goals were accomplished, despite some less than perfect weather. Bedding in maser bedroom very comfortable; porch off bedroom had a great view. Be prepared to rise early as the morning light comes in early!This property will not disappoint!

Maine Charmer

Accommodations were perfect with a lot of extras. My goal was to write my second book in a place where we would have little distraction and be near the ocean. It worked perfectly. The small hikes at Quoddy Head were spectacular.

Sunrise was spectacular. Accommodations were perfect with a lot of extras.

This was my second visit to Lubec Bay Cottage. What a delightful location! From unbelievable sunrises over the Atlantic to so many stars at night you'll feel like you're in space. If you like to be outside there's plenty to do in November -- some of the best walks along the coast are just minutes away. If the weather's not so great, take a trip to the library and catch up on email or read a good book. I learned lots about local news by just sitting within earshot of the librarian's desk where people returning books 'visit' for awhile. Lubec Bay Cottage itself is clean, well- appointed and cozy -- feels like a home, not a barely lived in rental. Thanks Catherine!

Great place to stay any time of year

This was my second stay at Lubec Bay Cottage. Wonderful weather the first couple of days and not as wonderful the next couple. No matter the weather though this is warm and cozy place to catch up on some reading and enjoy the view out back. Catherine has thought of everything you can possibly need from muck boots by the back door to a delightful bag of local treats upon arrival. If the weather's clear at night check out the sky from the upstairs bedroom deck -- simply amazing! Take the walk out to the channel and the bay out the back door and wait for yet another amazing sunrise. Pictures do not do justice. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

An excellent place to stay in any season!

We have stayed at vacation houses many times, but never in a nicer, more comfortable place than the Lubec Bay Cottage. Not only is it beautifully decorated but it is fully equipped with everything you need for a wonderful family gathering or just a relaxing time for a couple. The decor is beaturiful and the views are amazing. We loved layingin bed and looking at thousands of stars through the glass french doors in the bedroom. Also, the sunrises are amazingly beautiful. Upon arriving we were welcomed by a gift basket of items to use at the cottage or take home to remember our vacation. Catherine made herself easily available and made sure every need was met. We are already looking forward to returning to Lubec and this wonderful property. Jim and SueSt. Petersburg, Florida

The Lubec Bay Cottage is a very comfortable and relaxing place for a wonderful getaway experience.

The cottage is a delight, as are its surroundings. It is laid out very thoughtfully. From most parts (kitchen, dining table, part of the living room, master bedroom, bathrooms and two luxurious decks) one has the view of Lubec Bay, offering views of sunrise and starry night skies. This view alone is balm for the soul. The cottage is furnished with great taste. The bathroom fittings (faucets, showerheads) are top quality and work smoothly. Having an extra showerhead on a hose is great. Showering with a view of Lubec Bay makes you smile first thing in the morning. — The beds are high quality, too, nice and firm. The kitchen is very well equipped, it has all the tools you may need. Because you can see the bay, looking up from the kitchen counter, the cooking alone was vacation for us. Catherine, the owner, was very helpful and concerned that we should have a great time, responding quickly to every question we had, suggesting things to do. -- The only drawback was a little bit of traffic in the early morning hours (several heavy pick-ups with droning motors coming by in the early morning hours). Other than a brief time of that in morning and evening, the road was very quiet.The cottage lies only few minutes from Lubec town centre and the bridge to Campobello Island with Roosevelt International Park. A wonderful holiday destination! Fantastic scenery, and opportunities to enjoy the sea. We went on a whale watch tour on a small boat, saw lots of marine life, bald eagle and osprey. The Roosevelt cottage exhibition is well done, very informative, not too large well organized. Make sure to participate in „Tea with Eleanor“ — a team of guides take turns talking about Eleanor Roosevelt's life while you are served tea. The many small stories of how she interacted with people, celebrities and normal mortals, make this not only a very informative hour, but also a very moving experience. — Other destinations where one can easily spend a half or full day are Quoddy Head State Park and Hamilton Cove, only few minutes away by car. Cutler Coast Public Lands (more coast, cliffs, rocks, waves crashing in, with a days’ worth of hiking trails) is little more than half an hour away. — There is a lot of culture going on in Lubec and Eastport : Concerts, exhibitions ... our week was too short. Thank you, Catherine, for creating this vacation home, a little paradise in and of itself, and a base for visiting so many great destinations to experience!

Beautiful, high-quality cottage, fantastic view, great location to reach attractive destinations

The cottage was everything we expected, and then some! Very quaint, New England style accommodation, supplied with everything needed for a week of rest and relaxation. It was very clean, well decorated, and Catherine surprised us with a lovely assortment of some local foods and gifts, including a delivery of fresh, organic produce (which was delicious). While there was no internet or television, there were movies, radio, and many interesting books. Not to mention the beautiful night sky. We even socialized with some of the neighbors and locals!Please note, it gets rather chilly at night on the deck, so bring warm clothing. However, mornings on the upper deck were gloriously sunny and comfortable.Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Lubec Bay Cottage!

Wonderful accommodations, amazing view

My husband, daughter and I had such a wonderful stay at the cottage. Pulling into the small village we knew it was going to be something very special. Walking the grounds around the property, full of greenery and flowers made us feel at home.The cottage itself was well equipped with everything one would need from bedding to rubber boots to kitchen aprons. Looking out from the either deck was a beautiful sunrise every morning (less the fog).Near by in town were great shops to wonder through, the public library, and local restaurants with a meal that can't go wrong. Venturing to Campobello Island offered whale watching, the lighthouse to climb (if you get there during low-tide), and of course the Roosevelt's Cottage. Down the street from the cottage were wonderful walking trails at the state park with another lighthouse and a monument marking the most eastern part of the USA".

Perfect Balance

Our stay at Catherine's cottage... Lubec Bay Cottage.... Was truly a get away! The cottage is cozy and charming with all the amenities of home. We thoroughly enjoyed coming home" after each day adventuring. The kitchen is well stocked for use. We made most dinners at home utilizing the grill on the deck and the handy kitchen. Laundry facilities were also a plus. The deck was a welcome relax spot as was the fire pit nearer the coastline. We were so thrilled to be minutes from amazing hiking trails at West Quoddy Park and a short drive to Campabello Island. Unplugging from the Internet

Comfortable, cozy and remote. Perfectly lovely!

We could not have been happier with our stay, from the amazing gift basket of local items upon our arrival, to sunrises over the Bay of Fundy, to enjoying the fire pit after a long day of hiking. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and we immediately felt right at home. The Cottage was very clean, well decorated and anything we could have needed was provided. All local points of interest were close by, but nothing beat sitting on the back deck watching the water and just relaxing. We can't wait to go back and hope to have more trips to the Lubec Bay Cottage!

We could not have been happier!

The setting, the time of year, the house - all perfect. I stayed at Lubec Bay Cottage for a few days last month for the spring birding festival. Catherine was great to work with on arrangements and provided a well appointed, well maintained and beautiful place to stay while I wasn't out looking for birds. From the comfy master bed with built-in sunrise to the incredibly well-stocked kitchen to the deck and outstanding view it was all just great. I look forward to another visit!

Best stay ever!

I simply cannot say enough for the perfection that is Lubec Bay Cottage. Our stay was from May 10-17, so the weather was still a little chilly, but it was very welcomed as we typically are battling 100 degree weather at this time in Texas. We did travel down to Bar Harbor/Acadia one day, but found that we enjoyed the local parks like West Quoddy, Reversing Falls, Cobscook Bay, etc. more. The cottage is so cozy, and relaxing as we spent a good amount of our time walking the sand bar off the back of the property, reading books, listening to the radio, or taking an afternoon nap. The people of Lubec were incredibly nice, and we never once felt like a tourist. Dinner at Cohill's was very relaxing looking out over the bay into Canada(and the food was excellent), and visiting with the locals at the Lubec Brewery made us feel like a long time resident of this magical little town. We will most certainly be back to Lubec, and will of course look to stay at this cottage for all future vacations to the area.

The definition of relaxation

This cottage in Lubec is a lovely place to get away from everyday stresses and relax. With a beautiful view of the ocean, wonderful balcony and deck, and beachfront ambiance--you are truly away from it all."The owner

Charming Cottage On Lubec Oceanfront

If you are looking to relax, unplug and have a real vacation, Lubec Bay Cottage is for you. Yes we explored the area and hiked over rocky terrain, but every night we came back to our" cottage and marveled at the tides and the night skies. The cottage is well maintained and even though it decided to be fall in Maine

Peaceful,beautiful, relaxing

Fantasies seldom come true, Lubec Bay Cottage is the exception. If your fantasy is a cozy cottage, quaintly decorated, stocked with every possible need - except TV and Internet service (Hooray!) then this is your opportunity to visit heaven. From the sunrise over the Bay to a star filled night sky that will leave you breathless. Wild life - whales, seals, bald eagles -- and you haven't lived until you've heard the echoing sound of howling coyotes wafting over the Bay from nearby Campobello Island. From the rocky beaches to the forest trails, with a dizzying scent of cedar, it's all here, practically unspolied, and - selfishly - very few of those pesky humans around. Visiting Lubec Bay Cottage is like going to the home of your favorite aunt, the one who spoiled you when you were a kid. Whatever you need is there, or will be with a mere suggestion. And there are delightful surprises of unexpected kindness - old fashioned genuine kindness - that I won't spoil by revealing. You'll just have to experience the joy yourself. Richard & Trish Maloney

A retreat between Neverland and heaven

The property was beautiful! My husband and I had the most relaxing time. We would love to go again!

Amazing!

If you want to truly relax and experience Downeast living in Maine, you will never do better than Lubec Bay Cottage.The cottage alone is worth the trip - perfectly appointed so as to make you feel like you walked into a novel about all that's best about the state and its seafaring history. But it's not kitschy or touristy at all - it feels like home. You love every detail, but you still feel like you can put your feet up and relax. The master bedroom on the top floor and the dining room on the main floor have French doors that open onto decks offering spectacular views of Lubec Bay, Campobello Island and West Quoddy Head. NOTE: Sleep with the doors open in the master bedroom as weather allows - you will never get better atmosphere as the channel light and West Quoddy Light sing out their fog calls and the buoys' bells clang in motion of the water. And the field of wild grass at night mirrors the starlight as thousands of fireflies dance like faeries in some midsummer fantasy straight out of Shakespeare. Magical.The owner has taken such care to be sure you experience Maine as it should be. Festoons of hedge roses border the yard, and lupines grow like clover throughout the tall grasses beyond the border. Peonies, poppies and flowering chives are all placed carefully but look like they just grew there without thought or planning. Exquisite. There is a boardwalk traveling back from the deck to the first shoreline where a firepit and chairs await for late night smores and hot dogs. Wellies (mudboots) are supplied for most sizes of feet so you can make your way beyond the firepit across the hillock of grass and hedge to the actual shore - which at low tide you can walk out to about 25 yards beyond the normal water line.No need to bring supplies from home - there are plenty of items stocked on the shelves, and a nine generation organic farm stops in once a week to offer the freshest, most tender greens for salads and the absolute best Greek yogurt I have ever had - anywhere. It's these extras that add to the experience and make your time at Lubec Bay that much more special.You won't have wi-fi (except at the library or restaurants.) You cannot use your cell phones because of roaming charges - but you have a land line. You don't have cable or direct TV - but you have a great selection of movies, or can bring your own, on DVD.

Heaven on Lubec Bay

My wife and I could not have been more pleased with our stay at Lubec Bay Cottage; it was a perfect spot for our honeymoon! Thank you to Catherine for the wonderful basket of gifts and for checking in with us to make sure we were settled in alright. She absolutely goes above and beyond- before, during, and after- to make sure that your stay is as perfect as could be.The cottage itself was perfect- cozy, well-decorated, and overlooking a beautiful view. We loved viewing the early-morning sunrises from the comfort of our bed. The property itself has plenty worth exploring. There are neat flower beds and a board walk through a little bit of a marsh to get down to the fire pit by the water- a great spot for s'mores under the stars.We also loved the town of Lubec. If you are looking for an outdoorsy spot with a laid-back feel, this is your place. We especially recommend Quoddy Head State Park for hiking and Cohill's for a drink in the evening. We hope to return someday for a fun, relaxing, and affordable anniversary trip. Thanks, Catherine, for making our honeymoon everything we could have wanted and more!

Beautiful Place!

This place was just what we needed to unwind...we hated to leave the quiet solitude. We got back to basics here - games, movies, reading, and just plain talking. We forget to do that sometimes. Maybe we'll be able to call Lubec home someday, but until that time, we will revisit this lovely place, Lubec Bay Cottage.

Lovely cottage and setting

We had watched documentaries and read books about the Roosevelts this year so we needed a place to stay near Campobello. I was amazed to find Lubec Bay Cottage four miles from Campobello. The weather was cool. We stayed in the cottage working on a puzzle for hours but the scenery outside was lovely and so visible from every window. When we finally emerged from our hideaway, the people in Lubec were so happy to see us. They all talked about the long, snowy winter. For our 45th anniversary we ate at the Water Street Tavern. Fabulous food. Truly gourmet. The owner came out to talk with us as if we were old friends. All the people in Lubec were like old friends. The cottage is homey and has a very New England feel but it has everything you need to work in the kitchen or find a comfortable spot to read. In warmer weather the outdoors would be wonderful on the decks, or in the Adirondack chairs out closer to the water and a fire pit. Catherine has fire wood ready for anyone who is lucky enough to be there in good weather. It would be heaven to watch the sun come up with a fire going. This is a place that calls to you after you leave.
