Photos and Description of this Lubec holiday cottage 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, sleeps 4

Oceanside convenience, comfort and charm! At Lubec Bay Cottage, each floor has spectacular ocean views and with 1920's charm it has all the comforts of home. There is a large deck for outdoor dining with a separate area for gathering around the hearth on a cool evening. From the deck, our boardwalk meanders through lush meadows to our sitting area with 180-degree ocean views, birding opportunities in the marshes of the Sand Bar Wildlife Management Area and kayak access. From the balcony there is a panoramic view of the Lubec Channel lighthouse, the Bay of Fundy and the open ocean. Our artist's studio is for those who wish to capture the area on canvas. Sandy beaches are a short stroll down the Bar Road; hiking trails and picnic areas at the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse and State Park are just down the road. Downtown Lubec with its shops and restaurants is less than three miles away. Come experience why others choose to return to Lubec Bay Cottage when they visit Downeast Maine!

Lubec and surrounding areas attract bird-watchers, hikers, whale-watchers, kayakers, and beachcombers because of the opportunities that abound. Whales can sometimes be sighted off West Quoddy just down the road or off East Quoddy on Campobello Island. In downtown Lubec, seals are often seen feeding in Lubec Channel, and there are bicycle rentals, whale watching charters, and a water taxi between Lubec and Eastport. The nearby state parks, lighthouses and nature preserves offer hiking trails, spectacular views, and bird-watching opportunities. Artists, writers and photographers are inspired by Lubec's vast coastline, unspoiled natural beauty, and by the picturesqueness of downtown Lubec. There are numerous local artists and art galleries in the area. The Lubec Historical Society, McCurdy's Smokehouse and Roosevelt International Park showcase local history. The Sand Bar Wildlife Management Area that is adjacent to the property is known for its migrating birds.

Extra Amenities: You may hear the relaxing sounds of a fog horn or the turbulent, crashing waves on the shore of the open ocean at Carrying Place Cove. You can keep time with our authentic ship's bell clock that chimes on the hour and half-hour. The oceanside sitting area with its Adirondack chairs invites you to sit and take in the spectacular views and watch the birds that visit the area. For indoor leisure time, there is a vintage tabletop pool table; several popular board games; a DVD library; and a library of sea-themed and Maine-authored books. A tide clock keeps track of the incoming/outgoing tides. Come experience for yourself what others have said was the best vacation they have ever had! There is just something special about Lubec Bay Cottage.

Artist Studio: You don't have to be an artist to enjoy Lubec Bay Cottage! But if you would like to bring your paints, brushes, and canvases for painting while on vacation there is a working studio for your use on the property. The situation is intended to complement the comfortable surroundings with an atmosphere of creativity. The Studio is an early 1900's rustic workshop that has been converted into a working studio with plenty of natural light, several work benches, a French easel with daylight lamp, drying rack, space station and cart, pack stool, designer's drafting table with ergonomic adjustable chair, and print rack. The picturesqueness and natural beauty of Lubec will truly inspire all those who visit. We ask that the equipment not be used for children's play.

Guest Comments: 1. Outstanding!!, October 5, 2009 By Tom (Oakham, Ma USA) The pictures on the web site really didn't tell all the story. The views from the cottage were fantastic. The cottage itself, was very nice. We had a wonderful time and would go back to Lubec cottage. *************************2. We Could Live Here - May thru Sept., September 27, 2009 By Tom (Easton, PA) We spent two wonderful weeks at the Lubec Bay Cottage. I'm writing this email from our'vacation' home in the Endless Mountains of PA. We're on our way home to Easton, PA. My wife just said to me that 'looking our over our lake doesn't quite have the same effect as the Sunrise over Campobello Island. The cottage is so warm and cozy. The people in and around Lubec are just really nice. We had a great time. And to my amazement, I ran into a work colleague who now lives in Lubec that I hadn't seen in at least 8 years. He recognized me one day while I was at Cohill's. Again, it was just a wonderful time.

Other Activities: Birding; Summerkeys music school; SummerBrushes art instruction

End of the road beauty

mwbarrett Mt.Shasta, CA
Review Submitted: October 25, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Whenever I am looking at a map for places to visit, I always try to find the out-of-the-way spot because it usually holds that charm that is missing from the much traveled spots.
When my wife and I arrived in Lubec it was late at night. Needless to say, i woke up early to see where we were. I knew from the drive up the coast and the dark starry night that we were in store for something good.
Awakening to the beautiful site of Lubec Bay looking out the second story windows of this great cottage, I knew that my hunch paid off. The cottage is charming and has a great Maine feel to it. It has everything you need to be comfortable and cook some great meals. As i said the view out the back of the house is spectacular. It is set up with two great sitting areas and if you were an artist the studio would be perfect.
Lubec is a great town with some really interesting shops and people. The hikes in the area were fantastic. We really enjoyed the Quoddy Head Lighthouse hikes and Hamilton Cove. We went over to Campabello Island and hiked around too.
Thanks Karen for making everything so easy and to make us feel right at home.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your compliments - your having an enjoyable stay at Lubec Bay Cottage is very important to us. I am so pleased that the cottage has a Maine feel to it and that it provided the comforts you needed to make your stay special. I hope you travel to Maine again and choose to stay at our cottage. -Catherine

Beautiful getaway

Karyn & Roger South Berwick ME
Review Submitted: October 10, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Our stay was fantastic. Even with some rainy weather, we had a great time. The cottage was perfect - very comfortable with fantastic views of the bay (sunrise is amazing!) and in a great location. It is about half-way between the village of Lubec and West Quoddy Lighthouse. The hiking trails around West Quoddy are some of the best I've ever been on - ocean views the whole way. Campobello Island is so close (5 minutes) and has some amazing trails as well as the coolest lighthouse experience - you have to go during low tide or you can't get there! No cable was fine since we convinced the folks at AnnaBell's downtown to put the Patriot's game on for us! The whole house was very comfortable and well stocked with nice linens and towels. Even the downstairs shower was great since you could look out the little window at the amazing views.
I would highly recommend this cottage and this town to anyone who is looking for relaxation, natural beauty, and an outdoor experience!
Owner's Response: Hello Karyn and Roger. Thank you for your kind words - I am so glad you had a wonderful time and that Roger was inspired to paint several scenes. Thank you for the lovely painting - I look forward to displaying it in the cottage. In my efforts to make Lubec Bay Cottage a special place, a large deck off the dining room and an upper balcony off the master bedroom that will be accessed through a new wall of glass doors will be added for next season. The view from the master bedroom and balcony will be spectacular! I hope that you choose to return someday. Sincerely, Catherine.

Relaxing Seaside Honeymoon

A.Skye Pennsylvania
Review Submitted: June 15, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of honeymooning at this beautiful property. We cannot recommend it highly enough! The house was beautiful, the views were breath-taking, and the area is the perfect combination of a quiet rural setting and plenty to keep you entertained with Campobello to tour, West Quoddy Head State Park for hiking amidst gorgeous scenery, and miles of beaches nearby for beachcombing.
If you're looking for a peaceful and beautiful location, I would highly recommend emailing Karen. She was extremely helpful and easy to work with. Altogether, this was by far the best vacation I've ever had.
Owner's Response: It is very satisfying when I receive positive feedback from those who have enjoyed their stay at my cottage, but I also welcome comments on how I can make Lubec Bay Cottage even better! Thank you very much for your comments and I am so glad you enjoyed your stay! Catherine

Painter's Paradise ... What a beautful place!

Daily Painter Portland, ME, USA
Review Submitted: June 12, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We had a lovely getaway to the Lubec Bay Cottage this week & would certainly recommend it to a friend! The cottage itself is soooooo charming with gorgeous views out every window & it's well equipped with all of the essentials ... we felt very at home in this comfy space. And Lubec is simply a beautiful place! We relaxed, enjoyed the views, explored neighboring towns, walked some spectacular trails at Quoddy Head & Hamilton Cove, read books, visited the Lubec Library for wireless internet access, rented movies from the Quik Stop, savored Monica's Chocolates & I painted too! What a treat it was to have the art studio to keep my art supplies in along with my wet paintings & to paint in too! Thank you for a peaceful, inspiring & memorable getaway! :-)
