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.

About the host

Hosted by Tammy - Owner/Manager

Tammy moved from CT to Downeast Maine in 2012. She fell in love with it's coastal rugged beauty, and serene way of life. She and her life-long friend and business partner, Sandra, purchased the home on 34 Pleasant Street. Through this perfect location for a summer rental, she hoped others would be able to experience the same unspoiled beauty in the town she calls home. The property also has a small building that has become a wonderful Gift & Ice cream Shop that Tammy owns! Make sure to stop in and say hello!

Why they chose this property

The home was built in 1889. It has all of the charm of that period without sacrificing comfort or space. Large and spacious, this home boasts a sun room with a 180 degree view of the Campobello Bridge, the Narrows, and Historic Water Street. A fully updated galley kitchen that exudes rural charm, gives you all of the comforts of home, along with the peace and serenity that only Downeast Maine can provide. Beautiful weather May through Oct.

What makes this property unique

The convenient location of this home is unparalleled in downtown Lubec vacation homes. While retaining its' quiet historic charm, it is literally at Campobello Island's door step, looking at the rushing, tidal Lubec Narrows, and is only steps from all downtown amenities/restaurants and pubs! As if things couldn't get any better, there is even a local farmer's/vendor market on Saturday's from 10-12 during June to October literally adjacent to the house! You have to see it and experience it to believe it! Give yourself the vacation of a lifetime and book with us today!!
