Photos and Description of the Lubec vacation cottage rental
2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Balcony, Fire Pit, Shoreside Sitting Area, Sleeps 4

Lubec Bay Cottage is a classic Maine seaside cottage with fabulous Bay views, surrounded by 3 seaside acres of lush wildflower meadows in a quiet, rural setting, Stroll down our Boardwalk to our private Shoreside sitting area with fire pit/grill, 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 picture-book Downeast cottage that has kept its original character and charm, while having all the comforts to make you feel at home. Our expansive deck is a wonderful space for grilling, dining, relaxing around the outdoor fireplace, and taking in the view. Close enough for walking to South Lubec beach, our Cottage is less than 2 miles from West Quoddy State Park with Lighthouse and 4 miles from town and Campobello Island. Lubec Bay Cottage is a special place you'll look forward to returning to after a day of adventure!

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 either at the fireplace on the deck or 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 a game on the vintage tabletop pool table or choose one of the several popular board games; warm up to the 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 will truly inspire all those who visit. We 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 sitting 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.

During migrations, site whales off West Quoddy, just down the road, or off East Quoddy on Campobello Island, Canada, just 4 miles away. Just remember to bring your passport. See seals feeding in Lubec Channel or in the bay behind the cottage. Meet local artists in their galleries or learn the local history at the Lubec Historical Society, McCurdy's Smokehouse and Roosevelt International Park. You must try 'Tea with Eleanor' at the Roosevelt Campobello Park or a round of golf at Campobello's scenic Herring Cove Provincial Park Golf Course.

There are also Summerkeys music concerts downtown during the summer months, two chocolatier shops, a wharf for purchasing local seafood, and a great variety of restaurants for eat-in or take out.

Loved It!!

Submitted: October 24, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We traveled to Lubec, Me. for the first time and decided to stay at Lubec Bay Cottage based on the reviews and the pictures. We were not disappointed! It was everything we had imagined and more! It is just as cozy and nice as the pictures show, and it is very clean. The sunrises viewed from the upstairs bedroom were beautiful, as was the cottage, and the property. Catherine makes every effort to make sure your stay is the best it can be, and you immediately feel right at home, or at the very least, like you are at a "friend's" house. All of the thoughtful treasures were very much appreciated and we can't thank Catherine enough for those, and for sharing her wonderful vacation home with us. The Lubec area is beautiful and lots to do and see. We hated to leave and hope we can return to Lubec and Lubec Bay Cottage soon!
Thank you for everything Catherine, it was perfect!
Owner's Response: Hi Gail and Doug,
I am so complimented that you chose to spend your 26th anniversary at my cottage and that you had an enjoyable stay. My guests find Lubec Bay Cottage to be a wonderful place for celebrating a variety of occasions - one reason is because they feel specially treated when they stay with us. I try to make each guest's stay as enjoyable as it can be. Thank you again for choosing LBC and I hope you stay with us again. Sincerely, Catherine

Lovely home away from home

4 of 5
Submitted: October 12, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
This lovely cottage was a joy to come home to after a day of painting, hiking and sightseeing. It does really feel like a home. The kitchen is well-equipped, the living space is furnish with cozy and comfortable couch and chairs. The view of the sunset each morning was the icing on the cake. The property manager was on the ball and readily accessible by phone. I very much appreciated Catherine's pre-arrival materials and gracious follow-up when we returned home. The Lubec/Campobello area is bar none one of the friendliest places on the planet. The artisan chocolates at the store on Water Street in Lubec and at Monica's were superb!
Owner's Response: Hi Andi,
The at-home feeling of the cottage and Lubec is what my guests comment on time after time as one of the best things about their stay. I try to make the cottage very comfortable and welcoming so my guests never feel like strangers. And Lubec residents are so friendly they make everyone feel welcome. Thank you for choosing Lubec Bay Cottage and I look forward to your return someday. Sincerely, Catherine.

We had a wonderful few days in Lubec Bay Cottage. Our days were filled with painting the beautiful scenery around Lubec and on Campobello Island and, of course, eating seafood in local restaurants.

The cottage was even better than described with many personal touches - Catherine sent a goody bag and called to make sure everything was going well.

I'm looking forward to returning next year

Owner's Response: Hi Sue,
I'm so glad that the cottage was even better than you expected! The beautiful scenery of Lubec, the ever-changing view out our back door, and our artist studio brings our artist guests back year after year.. Thank you again for giving me one of your wonderful Lubec paintings to display in the cottage. I look forward to your return next year. Sincerely, Catherine

So Memorable

It was only a brief visit to the cottage, but so memorable. My artist friends and I painted in the mist and in bright sun. I especially enjoyed painting a panoramic view from the balcony outside my bedroom of the meadow and marshy area leading to the water . I was up at 4am just to see the starry sky and wished that I could have somehow captured the sight on my camera. I did catch the sunrise from its first glimmer to the last glow. I took a dozen photos of the cottage interior while the sunrise lit its absolutely charming interior in a yellow hue.

It is a vacation filled with memories that will stay with me for a very long time. Thank you Catherine, for everything. Carol

This cottage is the nicest we have had in the Lubec-Campobello area, and this is our fifth visit. It is spacious,has lovely views on the bay side, is just a short drive to West Quoddy Light, one of our favorite places, and also within easy reach of Campobello Island and Lubec. The cottage is filled with light, and has a lot of interesting and sometimes surprising touches (an antique iron and wooden ironing board with the ironing board cover hidden in a closet, maps of Lubec from 1888, ship models, everywhere you looked there was something interesting). We enjoyed dinners at Family Fisheries on Campobello and a couple of visits to East Quoddy Light at the tip of Campobello. This lighthouse and its dramatic setting are not to be missed. Also not to be missed are the hiking trails at West Quoddy LIght just up the road from the cottage. Recommend a visit to Diane's Glass Gallery on Water Street in Lubec. And if you want a treasure hunt, try finding the salmon smoker and also the crab meat shop in Perry (watch for small signs to small roads). This is a really nice cottage. We were comfortable the minute we walked through the door, and at the end of a week it felt like home. And we had the pleasure of meeting Catherine when we arrived.

Owner's Response: Hi John and Wendy,
It was a pleasure meeting you and I am so happy that your stay at my cottage and your visit to Lubec was an enjoyable one. I try to make the cottage as inviting and comfortable as possible; there is nothing more gratifying than when my guests tell me that they felt right at home. The little touches that I have added and that I try to anticipate the needs of my guests makes a stay at Lubec Bay Cottage extra special. I hope I see you again. Sincerely, Catherine.
