Lubec Bay Cottage ~All oceanview rooms~Near beach and hiking~Waterfront~Balcony

****************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.

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.
