About this property
Lupine Seaside Cottage above Shoreline with Gorgeous Views
McCollum Seaside Cottages are two quaint, one bedroom, self-catering cottages situated on Moosabec Reach in a small, Maine fishing village. Rustic charm mixes with gorgeous views to give visitors a comfortable retreat from the hectic world. Rent individually or together.
The Lupine Cottage is a rustic, studio-style cottage. It has a very rustic, small bathroom and shower and bathroom sink. Built in the early 1900's. Modern plumbing and filtered water added later. New roof put on, but the original ceiling has some interesting patterns.
Equipped with wi-fi (which can sometimes be spotty, not ideal for working and video conferencing may not work) and situated on the bluff up from the shore. Easy walk to the local library, historic society and marina. Easy drive to many points of interest including Bar Harbor, Acadia, Schoodic Point, Quoddy Head State Park and Campobello. Local hiking on Great Wass Island and Bar Island are within a ten minute drive. You can launch your sea kayaks (that you bring yourself or rent from Machias) right from the beach.
Perfect spot to relax and take in the views or use as a launching point for Maine adventures. Eagles, seals, porcupines, and other birds are often seen out front.
The cottage is located on a bank above the shoreline. Moosebec Reach is a working lobster boat harbor. The shore/beach is perfect for hunting for sea glass, discovering things that wash ashore and watching for seals and eagles, not for swimming or playing in the sand. Water is very cold. Tides are about 15 feet, so shore looks very different between high and low tides. We call this "real Maine". There are no quaint restaurants or shops, but lots of hiking and relaxing.
Please note that the property is completely non-smoking. Any smoking must be done off property, either on the road/sidewalk before the property or on the beach below.
Please note that one must walk through uneven grass from the parking area and go up 3-4 steps to enter the cottage. It is not accessible to people with difficulty walking.
A new larger bathroom (though still small) is being put on this fall (2023).

About the host
Hosted by Heather McCollum
Braden and Heather McCollum bought the cottages in 2011. Originally owned by the McCollum family, they were thrilled to be able to buy them back. When they are not residing next to the cottages during the summer, they reside in North Carolina. They both attended the University of Maine at Machias, and Braden's grandfather was born and raised on the property.
Why they chose this property
The McCollum Cottages date back to the early 1900's when their used to be around 8 of them. They are situated on a bluff above Moosabec Reach on McCollum Road, overlooking McCollum Beach. Given this history - the McCollums needed to get them back in the family and make them available for others to enjoy again!!
What makes this property unique
Situated on a bluff along the ocean in the heart of a working fishing community, these cottages allow you to escape, relax, and explore in a comfy safe environ offering stunning views. Jonesport is NOT Bar Harbor. There are no quaint restaurants, breweries, and shops. This is "real Maine." Come for hiking and exploring and relaxing.
