Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Lubec, Maine

****************Romantic Getaway: Lubec Bay Cottage is wonderful for honeymooners, couples celebrating their wedding anniversary, or anyone searching for a romantic getaway. In the morning you could awake to a beautiful sunrise over the bay and sip your morning coffee or tea while relaxing on the balcony. During the day, you could watch the bald eagles flying over the bay while lounging in the reclining chairs on the deck. In the evenings you could enjoy a fire either at the fireplace on the deck or at the shoreside fire pit, hear the relaxing sounds of a fog horn or enjoy the brilliant night sky. For indoor leisure time, you could play a game on the vintage tabletop pool table or choose one of the several popular board games; play your favorite CD on the jukebox; sit by the fireplace while watching a movie chosen from our DVD library; or 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 will truly inspire all those who visit. We ask that the equipment not be used for children's play. **************************Birder's 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 sitting area, you won't be disappointed. You may also access the Sand Flats from the property. 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.

Other Activities:

Take a Puffin Tour to Machias Seal Island with Bold Coast Charter Co. in Cutler! Take a Plein Air Workshop with Michael Chesley Johnson! Drive over to Campobello Island, Canada to visit the East Quoddy Lighthouse and possibly see whales off-shore. Just remember to bring your passport. Kayak and bike rentals are at the Inn at the Wharf in Lubec - they also provide whalewatching tours. SummerKeys music concerts are held during the summer months.

We loved Lubec Bay Cottage

Review Submitted: July 4, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
Ladies from Pennsylvania fell in love with this cottage. Everything you need at your finger tips. A acrylic painting was made on canvas of the picturesque USA and Canada mountains. Every detail was thought of. The booties were awesome and picking treasures off the coast we will never forget. We will return to Lubec again and plan to stay at the cottage. The next time we will purchase a passport and go into Canada.
All the people in Lubec were so friendly and the thoughtful gift basket was unreal. We purchased items from area and shared them at Pennsylvania. Thank you so much. Your cottage is a real treat.

Owner's Response: Hi Barbara,
It is very important to me that you both enjoyed your stay at my cottage. I want to have you feel right at home and make your stay as comfortable as I can. I am so glad you enjoyed the gift bag goodies and would love to see your painting -- I hope you found all you needed in our artist studio. Maybe you could send me a print? It would be wonderful if you return to Lubec and our cottage someday. Sincerely, Catherine.

Lubec Cottage

Review Submitted: September 21, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
We stayed at this cottage 8/27-9/3 and had a wonderful time. It is very clean and has everything you need. The sunrises outside the master bedroom window were stunning. The town of Lubec is a very friendly place and the hiking in the surrounding area is outstanding. We enjoyed delicious seafood and had a wonderful, relaxing week. Catherine and Karen were great to work with.
