Lubec · 整套民居 · 3室5床1.5卫 · 可住6人 · Shore View: Nature, Sea & Stars
Vintage Maine cottage with modern comforts. Ideal for remote work. Enjoy panoramic ocean views from bedrooms, deck and kitchen. Steps away, Lubec offers fine cuisine/brews, coffee/gift shops, music/art. Thrill to explore whale/bird watching and coastal/inland trails. The first time we visited Lubec, we were in love and bought the Shore View in 2004. Over the years, we have hosted hundreds of delighted guests whose wonderful past reviews cannot be listed here on AirBnB. We have long worked to keep the Shore View simple but comfortable--the way life should be! Our cottage dates back to 1910 when Lubec's many herring canneries kept the town bustling. Now, many historic houses, small and grand, have been restored, retaining old-time charm. Here is a tour: A fully equipped kitchen in back with small dining area accesses a combined laundry and half bath. the large kitchen window looks out on our deck accessible from the back entry. In front, a living-dining area with a small front entry are stocked with games and books for all the family. Our Smart TV permits guests to use their memberships in Netflix or other media for news and entertainment or choose from our own selection of DVDs and CDs. Stairs lead to the second floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath. Renters always remark with delight on our view from the master bedroom! At night, drift to sleep under stars and the moon and the distant sound of a groaner buoy off Quoddy Head. Our neighborhood is generally remarkably quiet, as hard-working Mainers get up early for work.
I liked the area. Lots of peace and quiet. Nice view from the back deck. Originally,I would have like to be a little closer to the waterfront. But it was still close enough to walk or drive to it as well. We had enough cool breezes through open screened windows,but there was a couple heated days where I think a window ac may have come in handy. But I think that's only personal preference since I have 4 window ac's in my home for the summer. And since I have a 65" big screen TV in my own home,the 21" in the rental seemed kind of small for our viewing. But since we weren't there to watch TV,it was ok. There was a few moments where a bigger TV with some cable would have been nice to have available to occupy the down times before retiring to bedtime. Pam is a great host and has a great personality. Overall,her rental was good and in a great neighborhood. I've paid more for less for just a room. So,the price was more than fair for the stay.
The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed our stay and the board games and card games in the home.
The cottage was just delightful and very clean The kitchen was Completely stocked. We had guest over a d had more than enough serving ware. The beach was a short walk, beautiful birds and alot of things to do. Very nice ,will most definitely return. We had a lobster cook out on the deck and the beautiful back Yard. Enjoyed out stay.
The cottage has a quiet in-town location walkable to all locations in the village of Lubec proper; yet has an amazing view over Lubec Channel, framed by forests and cliffs by a Canadian and a U.S. park.
Our deck overlooks a large backyard bordering the Mowry Beach Preserve. Visit the beach from a boardwalk at the end of our street behind the school, where kids can also play in a large playground with a fisherman theme.
Easily walk into town passing the Bridge to Campobello Island, in Canada, where President Roosevelt summered with his wife Eleanor. Turn left at the bridge down Water Street to restaurants, coffee shops, gift and craft shops, a brew pub and tavern, and Saturday morning farmer's market.
Linger at the end of Water Street to see the tides change direction in Lubec Channel and attract seals, seabirds, and sometimes bald eagles feeding on fish. After dinner, stay for a nice view of the sunset over Johnson Bay and enjoy water and island views deep into Passamaquoddy Bay.
A grocery store is an easy walk from the cottage, as is the post office, local hardware store, and public library. After Memorial Day, eateries from fine restaurants/taverns to pizza/coffee/chocolate/gift shops are open, many into September.
Lubec and environs are ideal for nature lovers, hikers, kayakers, and photographers. Brochures and maps are available on state parks, wildlife refuges, public and private preserves open to public.
Our Shore View notebook includes the latest menus, activities, events, and so on available at the start of the season as well as extensive information on our area's fabulous parks, refuges, preserves, and open water tours for bird and whale watching in Passmaquoddy Bay.
Lubec is so small, it doesn't have any stoplights! Most people walk around the town taking advantage of fine restaurants, brewpubs, coffee and gift shops, pizza and ice cream places. Several venues offer regional music and concerts. The town boasts special events such as the May birding festival, 4th of July, SummerKeys, and Labor Day with its famed Pirate Invasion from Eastport across the Passamaquoddy Bay. Search for "Visit Lubec Maine" for more information.
Bring your passport and, at Washington and Water streets, cross the international bridge to Canada's Campobello Island for a tour of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt's summer home, which faces the entry to the Roosevelt Campobello International Park with coastal views and trails.
Other superb parks and preserves are only a short drive from our cottage, including Quoddy Head State Park--the easternmost point in the continental United States. Also explore nearby wild preserves owned by the Downeast Coastal Conservancy and Maine Coast Heritage Trust, as well as the recently organized Cobscook Trails, a unique network of private lands with public trails and facilities.
This extensive mix of reserves harbor unique boreal and other forests, wetlands, shorelands, and wildlife, from moose to migratory birds. It is a nature lover's delight, favored as well by hikers, bikers, kayakers, and photographers.
