Lubec Bay Cottage was everything we wanted for our week in Lubec area. The cottage was wonderful - quiet and beautiful looking out to the bay. Convenient location for hiking and birding at Cobscook Shores preserves and many other preserves, plus Cutler Coast, Quoddy Head State Park, Cobscook Bay SP and Campobello Isl. Also convenient to several rivers and Cobscook Bay for outstanding kayaking. Next time we’ll plan on two weeks! Thanks Catherine!

Absolutely adorable cottage fully stocked with anything you could possibly need! The bedding feels like a luxury hotel - so comfy!! The decor inside will bring your mind back to simpler times and give you glance into the lives of those who lived in the home and area over the years. The area is phenomenal! So incredibly beautiful and peaceful; this is the perfect place to get away from it all and treat your soul!

Beautiful cottage, gorgeous view of the bay, and gardens. Lubec is small but so picturesque. There are lots hiking trails…the owner, Catherine, had maps and info about the area at the cottage. Eastport is worth the ride too!! In June the lupine are in bloom…in August, there are the best blueberries found anywhere!

I highly recommend staying at Catherine’s home. It’s in a beautiful location and in a wonderful town.

Lubec Bay Cottage felt like home, in the best possible way. Everything we wanted or needed was there, inside and out. My friend and I were in Maine to photograph puffins. We had two days of expeditions. We shopped at the local grocery store for breakfast and lunch supplies and had excellent lobster rolls two nights in a row at Fisherman's Wharf. We quickly discovered that the local coffee shop/bakery, Narrow Escape, did not open early enough for our puffin excursion days, but we enjoyed their delicious baked goods and cappuccinos on our arrival and departure days. Catherine's wonderful gift of coffee beans and other goodies was a perfect and useful surprise. The afternoon we arrived, Nashville and Yellow Warblers were perched in the pink blossoms of apple tree by the driveway. A song sparrow sang from the fields. We took a walk to the ocean, discovering the huge back deck with its couch-swing and big table, a firepit and many Adirondack chairs along the way. Our rooms had the most comfortable beds with lots of pillow options and cozy comforters. My room had a deck from which I photographed gorgeous sunrises and sunsets each day. The days are so long in Maine! We cooked our breakfasts and packed our lunches each morning and had everything we needed to do this. including a cooler bag. In the afternoons we explored Quoddy Head State Park and other areas to photograph birds, including right on the property. Catherine was so nice and helpful!

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. Don’t miss Campobello Isand / Roosevelt Int’l Park (Tea with Eleanor), sunset at Mulholland Lighthouse, West Quoddy Lighthouse and its Coastal Trail, touring the bay via Downeast Charters, and lobster stew at Inn on the Wharf in Lubec. Eastport is a great day trip too. Hard to leave this beautiful place, but we take lots of great memories (and photos) with us back to NYC. Thank you Catherine!

The Cottage was not only immaculate but very well appointed and comfortable. It was the perfect, jumping off point for our adventures in the Lubec area. We will definitely be back.

Amazing cottage and owner hospitality. Amenities galore. The view was breathtaking. Fresh seafood nearby and many beautiful places to explore in the Lubec area. We’d highly recommend!

This was my best friend and my second stay at the cottage and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Beautiful sunrises every day and with no cable, a perfect place to unwind. We were lucky enough to arrive during peak leaf change. As Floridians, we found it amazing to see. The cottage is quiet and very clean, if you are an artist, there is a great studio for your use. We also lucked out that Canada opened their border up completely our first day in Lubec making it easy to drive over to Campobello. If you are looking to relax and unwind on your vacation, you won’t go wrong choosing Lubec Cottage

Our 7 days at Lubec Cottage were amazing! We slept with the blinds open to be awakened at 4:45 am to the blush of the sunrise! The property is awash in beautiful hues of pink, blue and yellow. Hydrangeas everywhere! After full days of exploring and photographing the beautiful landscapes from Cutler to Canada, we relaxed on the comfy sofa and watched movies. The cottage has everything you could possibly need. Super comfy bed, delightful shower and all the comforts of home. Upon arriving, we found fresh, local veggies in the fridge and a lovely gift bag of local favorites including coffee, maple syrup, wild blueberry honey and ambrosial handmade soap. Lubec Cottage is the perfect location to explore the Bold Coast. Thank you Catherine for providing such a marvelous sanctuary. It was truly a trip of a lifetime! Chip & Suzette

Lubec Bay Cottage is lovely. The cottage is charming and decorated in a beautiful mix of the sea and vintage. It is well taken care of and clean. The kitchen has everything you need, the beds are comfortable, and there is a great chair in the living room to get comfy for nighttime reading and foggy afternoons. The deck provides a variety of seating and fantastic views. As a gardener watching the garden evolve over the years has been fun- this is my 4th visit. I planted little lime hydrangeas in my garden to remind me of the peace my stays at the cottage have given me. You could not ask for a better host- than Catherine. She is welcoming and helpful. Mornings are for the quiet and tranquility of the sunrise and watching the bay, the fields, and the birds come to life. Afternoons are for the rhythm of sitting in the swing reading, and evenings are for looking at the breathtaking night sky. I love Lubec for the combination of nature and the small town. One of my favorite things was to spend an afternoon sitting on a bench in town by the water watching the activities of the dock-the birds, the seals, and the lobster boats coming back from the sea. The people in Lubec are friendly, kind, and generous, and Lubec is rich in history. The Lubec Historical Society is worth the visit, as is the lighthouse, the antique store, the galleries, Quoddy gift shop, Narrow Escape for coffee, and, of course, Monica’s for chocolate. There are many hiking trails for all levels of hikers and walkers. Every year I return home with restored energy and the peace I need to take on the next great thing. I hope your visit to Lubec Bay Cottage does the same for you.

Everything you read in all the other reviews is true. The cottage is welcoming and comfortable and truly felt like home. Catherine has ensured that everything you need is provided. The welcome gift bag and fresh produce and flowers were an extra special touch. We loved our stay here! Even our dogs loved it- they spent so much time running up and down the path to the fire pit and hanging out on the deck with us. One of our favorite things to do was to sit on the swing and take in the incredibly beautiful views. It’s a wonderful place to soothe both mind and soul. Thank you so much for sharing your special place with us!

Beautifully restored Maine house that offers unbelievable views of the bay. Our family loved our stay at Lubec Bay Cottage. It’s clear that the owners have paid attention to every detail in the restoration & refurbishing of this 1920’s cottage. I particularly loved the framed letter hung in the master bedroom that was found in the walls during renovations. There were also fresh-cut flowers throughout the house & some fresh local produce in the fridge when we arrived. Despite there being a couple of neighbors nearby I still felt isolated & private. There is such a vast expanse of meadows & marshes & water directly out the back door that it’s easy to feel like you have everything to yourself. The beds were comfortable & the bathrooms & kitchen were clean (& I’m picky). The kitchen was well stocked with cookery & spices. My family had a wonderful time walking the beach every morning & enjoying the views of the sunsets every night. Highly recommend!

This was our third year staying at Lubec Bay Cottage. It feels like home—very cozy with beautiful views. Convenient to both Lubec, West Quoddy lighthouse, Campobello and beyond.

We enjoyed our stay at this quaint cottage. The surrounding scenery and view of the water is very peaceful and the location of the cottage is perfect. Close to downtown and all the beautiful hiking the area has to offer. Catherine goes the extra mile to make her guests feel welcome and the gift basket when we arrived was a special surprise and much appreciated!

Everything that the owner advertised on VRBO was correct. My wife and I were looking to decompress from a hectic schedule and we were not disappointed. The house is immaculate and you want for nothing. Peace and tranquillity is what we were looking for and we found it. We watched the sunrise and sunsets and walked to the ocean. Thank you Catherine for a great experience. Paul and Stella

The cottage was even better than the pictures. The views from the deck off the Master bedroom were amazing. The lower deck was extremely comfortable and spacious. The town of Lubec had a couple resturants I would recommend. Water Steet Tavern and Cohills Irish Taven. Both were very good. We really enjoyed the laid back feeling in Lubec and the comfortable accommodations. I definately would stay in the cottage again

Thank you for such a wonderful stay! The view was incredible, and we really appreciated all the extra welcome goodies! The bed was so comfortable too.

The house is cozy and comfortable, with everything you could need during your stay. Excellent location for visiting the wonderful Quoddy Head State Park as well as Lubec “downtown”, also conveniently located for day trips to other nearby areas. Not a ton of restaurants and night life in Lubec, but that’s more my speed anyway. :) Lots of nature, hiking, and relaxation, a great vacation!

Beautiful and cozy home situated right next to the water with ocean views. If you are looking to recharge, this is the place to do it. We had a restful stay and there are plenty of outdoor activities in the surrounding area to keep you occupied. The Canada border is also only 10 minutes away. Catherine was also a tremendous host and was quick to reply if any questions were to arise. Would stay here again.

This is an exceptional property! The views are amazing and we loved the sunrises from the bedroom deck. The hostess has gone the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need to feel like you are home. This cottage offers the quiet solitude we were seeking and close to great hiking trails. Thank you!!!

You know when you have a lot going on and need to get away for a peaceful and relaxibg weekend? Well this is exactly what we got staying at Lubec Bay Cottage. The house was beautiful and exactly as shown in the photos. We loved waking up every morning and sitting eating breakfast with the french doors open to feel the breeze and hear the sounds of the bay. It is also in a perfect location to several hiking/nature trails - Boot Head, the Quoddy Head Lighthouse, and even Reversing Falls up in Pembroke! Catherine was a wonderful host and made this experience the absolute best! If we ever head back up to Maine, we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

For us, Lubec Bay Cottage was all about the setting. We enjoyed meandering around the natural plantings in the yard and down the field path to the marsh. The subdued fall palette of orange, brown, reds and yellows made a lovely contrast to the vivid blue of the Bay and blue sky. Even inside, the patio doors upstairs and down gave us full advantage of the stunning view. The cottage itself was charming and held everything and anything one might need for a stay. Lubec and the surrounding area is aptly named “The Bold Coast”. The fall is a wonderful time to visit, and Lubec Bay Cottage is a lovely spot!

An amazing, quaint cottage with lovely views. It is in close proximity to a variety of hiking trails and everything in Lubec. It is a perfect escape and a slice of heaven. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to return!

The Lubec Bay Cottage is a wonderful relaxing place to watch the world go by on the deck facing the bay: birds, gulls, fishing boats, small pleasure craft, and a beautiful yard of flowers with bees buzzing.

What a lovely place. The location is perfect, between town and Quoddy Head. We hiked every day and walked the bar beach. But, best of all, was sitting on the decks drinking in the view and waking in the morning to the ocean sun rise with the lobster boats heading out. The cottage is well-equipped and comfortable. We had a wonderful time.

I loved!-Love! my stay at Lubec Bay Cottage. Catherine is a wonderful host - you can tell by her communications that she wants you to have a great experience. The cottage is clean- delightfully decorated- a fun vintage, beach, and local combination. And the view! It is magical starting your day coffee in hand, sitting in bed watching the lobster boats go to sea while the sun comes up. The deck and garden is a lovely place to read or write or sit and look out over the field to the ocean, which brings a sense of calm - a sense of peace- a sense of joy. The town of Lubec is a throw-back to a different time. There are not many choices for nightlife and food; what is there is fun, enjoyable, and memorable. It is what makes the place charming. I am so grateful to have had the experience!

We had a wonderful time! The cottage was perfect and Catherine did everything she could to ensure we had a terrific experience! The views are absolutely breathtaking and the location was perfect as well!
