About this property
Entire place
Oceanfront~180-degree Views~Balcony~Fire Pit~Deck~Wifi~A/C~Pet-Friendly~GREEN
Our 17 years of hosting experience really shows. Our recent guest from New York City, John wrote in his review: "Wow! Catherine and her cottage may have spoiled all future vacation stays for us! Her thoughtful communication, warm welcome, and generous amenities will be hard to match. The cottage is so cozy and quiet, with an incredible view, and perfectly located to explore the Lubec area."
The fact that we have so many repeat guests - one couple has returned every summer since we started renting our cottage back in 2008 - gives future guests confidence that their experience with us will meet and probably exceed their expectations.
Also, upon your arrival, you will receive extra special THANK YOU gifts for choosing Lubec Bay Cottage! And the special touches around the cottage will make you feel so at home. You won't find this at other rentals!
Imagine having fabulous bay views from every room and being surrounded by 3 oceanfront acres of bird-friendly organic gardens and lush wildflower meadows in a peaceful, rural setting. Stroll down our Boardwalk to our private shoreside sitting area with fire pit, which is adjacent to the renowned Sand Bar birding marshes. This enchanting cottage is situated in a breathtaking setting with spectacular sunrises and is beautifully furnished with fine antiques and coastal decor; a 1920's picture-perfect Downeast cottage that has kept its original character and charm, while having all the comforts to make you feel at home. So many of the other rental cottages here in Lubec have lost their Maine charm. But even with the many updates we have made our cottage still gives you that Down East Maine feeling!
We're located half-way between County Rd and the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse on the S Lubec Rd. You can find us - "Lubec Bay Cottage" on Bing Maps.
Because our cottage is a Maine DEP-certified Environmental Leader implementing eco-friendly practices, you will feel safe and be minimizing your environmental footprint during your stay. You can freely enjoy our gardens, lawn areas and meadow because they are organically maintained, and you also won't have to worry about harsh chemicals because housekeeping only uses GREEN cleaning products. We have implemented a recycling program, minimize our use of one-use containers, and encourage our guests to recycle during their stay.
Our expansive 400 square foot outdoor living area is a wonderful space for grilling, dining, and taking in the views on our cozy swing. With a balcony just off the master bedroom, you have a bird's eye, 180-degree view of the ocean and can see the Spark Plug lighthouse and Campobello, Canada! Also, we have added a cozy deck with chaise lounges for spending a lazy, relaxing afternoon.
Close enough for walking to South Lubec beach, our Cottage is less than 2 miles from West Quoddy Head State Park with Lighthouse and 4 miles from town and Campobello Island with its Roosevelt Park and East Quoddy Lighthouse.
Along with having an extraordinary cottage with beautiful surroundings we provide special touches that you will only find at Lubec Bay Cottage! Our cottage doesn't feel like a vacation rental - you will feel at home, like family.
We are very pet-friendly! Your dog(s) will love it here. On the property, we have a lovely meadow and lawn area; are adjacent to the sand bar marshes; and are close to the expansive South Lubec beaches. We also supply pet food bowls. Not far away are numerous hiking trails for you and your pet to explore.
Due to our balcony and steep stairs, the cottage is not appropriate for children under 12 years old. Elderly that have trouble climbing stairs may find our stairs too steep. All bedrooms are on the second floor.
Romantic Getaway:
Lubec Bay Cottage is wonderful for honeymooners or for those celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or searching for a romantic getaway. In the morning, awake to a beautiful sunrise over the bay and sip your morning coffee or tea while relaxing on the balcony. While enjoying your lunch on the deck, watch the bald eagles flying over the bay. In the evenings, enjoy a fire at the shoreside fire pit; listen to the relaxing sounds of a fog horn; enjoy a romantic slow dance to your favorite song under the brilliant night sky. For indoor leisure time, play one of the several popular board games; warm up to the electric fireplace while watching a movie chosen from our DVD library; read from our library of sea-themed and Maine-authored books. All this without leaving the property!
Artist's Dream:
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 is truly inspiring and you will enjoy the luxury of having your own working studio. We only ask that the equipment not be used for children's play.
Birding Paradise:
Lubec Bay Cottage looks out onto the South Lubec Sand Flats, debatably one of the top ten places to bird in Maine. Migratory shorebird abundance and diversity is among the highest along the eastern U.S. coast. Whether you observe from the deck, the balcony or the shoreside observation area, you won't be disappointed. You may also access the Sand Flats from the property. A number of shorebirds have been spotted including the Short-billed Dowitcher, Black-bellied Plover, White-rumped Sandpiper, Bairds, Least Sandpiper, Dunlin, Semipalmated Plover, and Lesser Yellowlegs. The cottage is a short drive to other Downeast birding locations including Quoddy Head State Park overlooking the Grand Manan Channel, Carrying Place Cove Bog, Boot Head Preserve (notorious for its Spruce Grouse), and Campobello Island. For your use, we keep a copy of an excellent Maine birding resource, 'Maine Birding Trail' in our library.
Writer's Retreat:
Lubec Bay Cottage is extremely comfortable and so peaceful. It encourages inspiration in abundance. This classic, cozy cottage with its surroundings stimulates creativity, feeds your imagination and allows you to concentrate without distraction. It is a perfect writer's retreat.
Lubec isn't another Bar Harbor or Acadia National Park - it offers all the beauty and adventure of those areas, but without the crowds!
