This perfect three-bedroom/two-full bath home is in the heart of the village of Lubec, Maine.

Fabulous - house and location both great

Perfect getaway from the hustle and the bustle (and the heat). If you're looking for hikes, small town vibe in a place with great hosts, look no further. The house was clean, had everything needed and Tammy was great as a host. Gave plenty of recommendations for activities and even an extra scoop of ice cream from their shop nearby! Would love to return for another visit sometime in the future.

Tranquil Location and Great Home

We really enjoyed our stay in Lubec. The house was amazing, the views were incredible. Everything you needed for a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing vacation. The host was very good at answering our questions as we had never been to Maine before and her suggestions for things to do were great. Came to see the leaves changing and Mother Nature did not disappoint. The house was very clean and had everything we needed from a fully equipped kitchen to great internet, to an overall comfortable furnishing. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Lubec.

Nice home and owners

We were staying here when Lee passed by the area on 9/16 and lost power for 8 hours, which we expected. Owners were great about communicating about the outage and had left us flashlights and a lantern. All fine with us. Unfortunately, we did not know that hot water was gone the night of 9/17 until 9/18, when there was another power outage later in a limited area that included this house that lasted 18 hours…we never figured out why. Owners were kind to provide a gift certificate toward part of dinner that night, as we could not cook. So, nice place and owners…there were just problems over which owners had no control, which made our stay less pleasant, which is the reason for the overall rating of 4, not 5.

Quaint coastal charm

The hosts were responsive, kind, and completely accommodating. The house was nicely stocked with essentials, plenty of linens, and an assortment of games to play at the generous dining table. The location was nearly perfect with a great view from the sunroom - our favorite spot from morning to night. If you are looking for a quiet getaway yet being located in the town’s center, then this place is for you. We are happy we chose to stay here.

Lubec Home

Easy access to house. Owner available if needed and kept in touch to see if there were any problems. Everything we needed was provided Several rooms for different projects going at once but we used and loved the sun room with the view of the bridge to Canada and we used that several times. Lubec is a walking town but also lots of trails, well maintained in the area. My favorite area of Maine.

Great family getaway

We love the coast of Maine but don’t enjoy crowds. Lubec was the perfect vacation spot for our family of 4 (two boys age 10 and 12) to hike, explore, and reconnect. The host was lovely and communicated everything we needed to know about the rental. The house was charming, very clean and cozy. We enjoyed the well equipped kitchen to make our meals and appreciated that everyone had their own space for sleeping at night. I especially liked the screen porch for reading. The home is located in town and is a quick walk to the coffee shop and restaurants. It’s also a short jaunt to Mowry Beach where we beachcombed every evening. Thank you for our stay, it was exactly what we were looking for!

Loved Lubec

Clean, comfortable, had everything we needed. Perfect location for walking around town, to the beach--farmer's market and ice cream in the front yard! So much to do of beauty and interest in the area--despite fog we did it all. Coastal trail at Quoddy Head, Roosevelt's Cottage, and Cobscook Shores a must--as well as lobster in the sunroom! We met many lovely locals, Monica of Monica's Chocolates being one. Thanks Tammy for everything!

Cozy Historical Home

Comfortable, warm home in Lubec, walking distance to all Lubec has to offer. Home is as shown in photos and description. Tammy is a great host; she was very helpful with our sightseeing, messaging with details and suggestions, one being the Cobscook Trails. These trails are well maintained, offer great views, some history, and varied nature sights. When we arrived there were no surprises, no issues, the home was clean, well equipped, Tammy even had a bouquet of fresh clipped Spring flowers for us. We relaxed in the sunroom every day; having morning coffee while watching the tides roll. Lubec is a quaint town, close to many trails and beaches which we enjoyed during our stay. Tammy, thank you for creating such a wonderful retreat. We will return to your home when in Lubec and we recommend it to everyone.

Love At First Sight

Tammy and Dan were incredibly responsive before and during our trip! The home was perfect for my husband and me, though certainly could have held a couple more people! The kitchen was great to have, not fancy but sufficient for what we needed! I’m a creative cook and was able to make 3 dinners! Loved Lubec and is remoteness and the bounty of nature and hiking. The only disappointment was that we didn’t get to Campobello, sooo close , but we didn’t want the hassle of Canada’s covid testing and reporting system. Alas, our favorite part of the house was the porch!!! We were in Lubec for 5 nights and could have stayed longer!!
