Lubec is home to the West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, situated at the easternmost point of land in the U.S. In Lubec, you will find sandy beaches, bold coastal cliffs, coastal rain forest, wildflower meadows and peat bogs. The Lubec area is host to three state parks, a national wildlife refuge and several nature preserves, all of which offer a variety of well maintained hiking trails. Local whale, wildlife and puffin tours offer the chance to observe nature up close from the water as do kayak and canoe rental facilities and many public boat ramps. The area is rich in history—the first naval battle of the Revolutionary War was fought in nearby Machiasport. Maine's own 'Cannery Row' lined the waterfronts of Lubec and Eastport with sardine canning factories and herring smoke houses. You'll find it all here—rich history, spectacular scenery, abundant wildlife and friendly people.

Great house in wonderful location

Review Submitted: August 26, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We have stayed for quite a few years in the Lubec area but this was our first year in this home. If you are not familiar with Lubec the area is a great place to stay with lots to do in both Maine and Canada. If you are looking for glitz then this is not for you; if you like nature, peaceful days, cool nights then come on up.
This particular house was very well equipped with two full bathrooms and a 1/2 bath on the living floor. The finished downstairs works very well for our guests who visit. The house does have a system of vents which allow voices to carry from floor to floor but we found this great since we did not have to yell and usually knew what the kids were up to; you can cover the floor vents with towels for more privacy.
The property was well maintained and had a good view of the bay. At low tide you can walk forever with a good pair of "muck" boots.
We throughly enjoyed our three week vacation in this unique home.

Truly a getaway

Review Submitted: December 18, 2007 Date of Stay: July 2007
This location is not for those easily bored. The climate can be fickle (fog follows brilliant sunshine within minutes) and although the surroundings are beautiful, it is not your typical beach vacation spot. The weather is cool in summer and the water is not for swimming. But you probably know that if you're looking to vacation in Maine. That said, the house is equipped with everything you could possibly need and staying in is no hardship. The decorations are on the excessive side, but do add to the quaint charm. There is only one real bedroom, not counting a tiny one in the basement, and housing the number of people they claim would be possible on various sofa beds, but be warned that there is no real privacy, because all the floors are interconnected with decorative floor vents, which makes sounds carry throughout the house. The shore is only accessible at low tide. The town is sleepy, but charming. And Quoddy State Park, nearby, is excellent for hiking.
