Exactly what we are looking for in a get away. Close to town, hiking, birding, etc., or just watching the sunset over the water. A great home away from home.

You can’t beat the view and the sunsets. The proximity to the pier is amazing. Everything is within one hour to see. So wonderful fisherman’s war restaurant we found a little town about 45 minutes away with a nice little shops. Great yard for dogs absolutely loved it.

Had a wonderful first visit to Lubec

For us, the large, securely fenced yard made all the difference for our Jack Russell. Beautiful views of the bay from the porch, the living area, and the upstairs bed room. The upstairs bedroom was very comfortable although the stairs are a little steep. Our host was quick to respond to any of our questions and the house is an easy drive to a well stocked IGA grocery store. I recommend bringing your passport and going to Campobello Island. See Liberty Point for some beautiful cliff views.

Great location and views

The location and views were amazing. Beautiful sunsets. My dog loved the yard and I’m not sure why but she also loved the sleeping cottage (Lobster Lair) which was adorable. The bedroom in the main house was large with a very comfortable bed, stunning views. The house was clean and comfortable, better than pictures depict in my opinion. This has been our favorite vacation so far, loved the town and the stay. Highly recommend.

We LOVE the Halibut House!

We had a fantastic stay at the Halibut House and exploring the Lubec, ME area. This place is everything we needed and the description was spot on. Best feature - the view of Johnson Bay and the fenced in dog yard! We couldn't have asked for anything better. One of the best vacations ever. We will return someday and when that day comes, we will definitely stay at the Halibut House again. Thank you, Angela, for everything!

Lobster Lair

Great yard for dogs. Beautiful view from house. Stairway to bedroom not the easiest for older people or those with even slight mobility problems. View from upstairs bedroom was beautiful. Bed was comfortable but had a strong odor that was very unpleasant. Very charming little place, maybe just needs a little more TLC.

Perfect location in Lubec!

We have stayed at Halibut House twice. It is a great spot to explore Lubec and the area. Walking distance to downtown. Easy access to Canada. 10 minutes from the Roosevelt House and Park in Campobello. An hour and 20 minutes to St. Andrews. The cabin has everything we needed. Clean and neat. nice king bed with an amazing view to wake up to! Our pup loves the fenced in yard - a great perk!

Beautiful waterfront property, great cottage

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this Lubec gem. The cottage was super close to everything in town. We loved having the main bedroom upstairs and the “bunkhouse” next door for the kids. It was a relaxing low key space and a great property for dogs (fully fenced in). We highly recommend, thank you!

Halibut House and Lobster Lair are charming!

These adorable properties are small but by no means spartan; plenty of comfortable places to curl up, all the “little touches” you can think of, and a very responsive owner and property manager. No “buts;” we loved it.

Wonderful week

Our family of 4 stayed the week. Views are fantastic. Kayaking in Bay was outstanding. Abundance of wildlife (saw whales, seals, fox, eagles, and more). Kids (and us adults) had fun exploring beach collecting treasures like beach glass and special stones. Overall, would not hesitate to recommend or stay again ourselves.

Beautiful Spot in Lubec!

These sweet cottages are perched on a knoll with a beautiful view of the ocean. They are small, but with well thought out use of space. We were a group of 3 adults and were very comfortable. It’s close to town for restaurants and food shopping. The owner was very helpful and answered all of my questions promptly. We are already thinking about a return trip in the fall!

On the water

Pet friendly, our two dogs had a blast. Small cottage but came with all the amenities needed. We enjoyed our stay in spite of the rainy weather. Lots of hiking trails around the area and a chocolate shop just down the road. What more could you ask for? Scenic area with lots to explore. Only a short distance to Campobello Island.

Charming Cottage in Beautiful Location

We were 1 adult and 2 teens, and stayed a week. The cottage was clean and well appointed. The view of the bay from the cottage is beautiful, and it was beyond relaxing and peaceful to sit on the deck and watch the sunset each night. There are so many hiking trails just minutes away, and most of the time we had the trails to ourselves. The cottage is a great location for a base camp for day trips, and to come back and relax each night. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!
