About this property

Waterfront cabin/Nature lovers paradise/No 🐶 Fee/ Kayaks/ fire pit/ beach

The Mainley log cabin is our summer paradise, but we do share for a few months out of the year because the view is too good not to share! You will not find another property as well maintained and welcoming at this price point! We have no pet fee, a 10% weekly discount, a 2 night minimum stay, and the cleaning fee is very low at $100. We know that times are hard right now so we work to provide the best value for your hard earned money. The Mainley is a true log cabin, rustic, but very comfortable with an elevated view of Cobscook bay and Moose Island. It is perfect for nature loving couples or families of 4, with a king bed in the loft , 2 single beds in the downstairs bedroom, and one large full bath with a walk in shower . If you are looking to escape the big city life for a little while and connect with nature you will love it here. No pet fee, no weight limit on dogs. We have a very reasonable and flexible cancellation policy because we understand that sometimes things come up and we make exceptions for family issues and weather. We have large dogs, so we understand the frustration of not being able to find accommodations that allow dogs over 80 pounds. All well behaved dogs welcome, up to 3 dogs per booking. We accept well behaved cats upon request as well. Our cabin is furnished with big dogs in mind. It is unreasonable to ask that your dog stay off of the furniture, so we have sturdy, covered, easily cleaned furnishings. We fell in love with the massive Lubec tides, the water birds, and all of the wildflowers here and we are sure you will, too! Reserve the perfect dates for next summer now because the calendar fills up quickly with returning guests. A recent guest described the Mainley best by saying " if you want a Disney type vacation this is not for you, but if you want to commune with nature in a relaxing clutter free space this is perfect." The cabin is at the end of a long gravel driveway and is about a quarter of a mile off of North Lubec Road. It is located close to the end of the North Lubec peninsula. The location feels very remote and is surrounded by thick forest, but it is only 6 miles to the town of Lubec. Lubec is a nature lovers paradise, but the restaurants are limited, close early, and there is no night life. Summer activities shut down at the end of September, but the natural beauty of the area is still amazing. The beach is downhill from the cabin and the short walk may be difficult to navigate for older guests even though we have a wide well-maintained path. The Mainley shares a secluded beach with 2 smaller cabins. The cabins are far enough apart with trees between them to maintain some privacy. Our cabins are pet friendly so you may see or hear another guests pets on the beach. If you are allergic or simply do not like pets our cabin is probably not a good fit for you. The Mainley cabin has an open concept main floor with 20-foot ceilings, wood burning fireplace, large deck, screened porch, a smart TV with Spectrum basic cable, 200Mbps high speed internet and WIFI. Our cabin is a clean, rustic, but comfortable, place to relax and read a book (we have lots of them) or just enjoy the view and the sound of the tide coming in. Watch the rise and fall of the massive, 20 plus foot tides, from the elevated deck that runs the length of the house. Bring your paddle board or use our kayaks and explore the bay. To use our kayaks you must sign the waiver form in the welcome book. Walk on the rocky, beach in front of the cabin, and watch eagles, gulls, and seals. We highly recommend the whale watching tours with Down East Charters, that runs from June too mid-September, from Lubec. The guide is funny, well informed, and touring the coast lines of neighboring islands is breathtaking. This home is equipped with everything that you need for relaxing getaway. The kitchen has plenty of counter space to prepare fresh seafood, while the easy-to-use appliances and lots of cooking equipment make vacation cooking easy. If you want to enjoy outdoor dining, cook out on the portable charcoal grill and eat on the deck. Plenty of outdoor chairs to enjoy the view and a screened porch for relaxing without the bugs. There is a Peloton bike in the loft so you can work out with a view and a total fitness weight system in the basement. To use our exercise equipment you must sign the waiver form in the welcome book. With all of the wonderful hiking trails in the area and the kayaks you probably will not need to use the Peloton or the weights! This is not a suitable beach for swimming because current is too strong and the water is always too cold. No smoking and please return all TV equipment to its original settings if you make any changes.

Wonderful cabin with an amazing view
We had an amazingly peaceful time at the cabin. The sunrise over the water was beautiful and you can't get enough of the starry sky at night. We walked the rocky beach with our dog who also had a wonderful time. Such a relaxing place to just sit and take in the beauty and wildlife. We'll definitely be back!

Peaceful, quiet, beautiful cabin in the woods
We are so happy we came back for our second year at the cabin! October was the most perfect time to come. We spent our days hiking the trails around Lubec and walking the beach at the cabin. The kids loved kayaking and roasting marshmallows on the fire. Once again, the house was spotless when we arrived. There were games and snacks for the kids, treats and things for the dog, and toiletries in case we forgot anything. We absolutely love the peaceful location of the cabin, and can’t wait to come back next year!

A Perfect Dog-Friendly Getaway on the Water!
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this gorgeous vacation rental, and it was everything we hoped for and more! First and foremost, being dog-friendly was a huge plus for us. Our four-legged family members loved exploring the spacious yard and the beach. It was so nice to have him with us on this trip! The property itself is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views of the water that you can’t get enough of. We spent the mornings sipping coffee on the deck, watching eagles, and taking in the serene surroundings. Inside, the cabin was welcoming and cozy. The bedding was so comfortable that we slept well every night. Everything was well-stocked, from kitchen essentials to cozy blankets, making us feel right at home. Overall, this vacation rental exceeded our expectations in every way. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable stay! Highly recommend!

Slice of Heaven
I wish I could write a negative review so that I can have this place all to myself. This is our second time coming to Mainley Cabin, once in October, and once in May and each time has been perfect. The owners, the manager, the house, the town. Everything is perfect about this place. Hoping to call Maine home someday.

Perfect Maine Vacation
We loved our stay at the cabin! The views of Johnson's bay and Eastport were awesome. We were able to take advantage of and enjoy the fire pit and kayaks provided with the cabin. Our pup also loved the easy beach access to go swimming every day. It's a great location for exploring Lubec and the surrounding area. Our hosts are very gracious in providing many extras to make the stay most enjoyable! Highly recommend!

A beautiful cabin with a view
We loved our 6 night stay here. The cabin was as described and well furnished. They even had some basic food items and snacks which were very appreciated when we arrived after everything had closed. The kitchen was well equipped and everything worked well. They even had well seasoned firewood in the basement, making fires a breeze. We'll definitely be returning.

Perfect days in Mainley Cabin
From arrival to departure our stay was perfect. We enjoyed a rainy day relaxing and watching birds and tide come and go. The sunny days were great for beach walking, taking advantage of great hiking trails we could walk to right from the cabin. Cooking dinner out on the charcoal grill, enjoying dessert on the screen porch. Just a nice, quiet, week to festers and enjoy rural northern Maine in this cozy cabin.

This is an amazing place in a beautiful location. Our 2 standard poodles were with us, and this is easily the most dog-friendly place we've stayed. We enjoyed the large deck, and the comfortable screened porch. And the stars through the large windows and skylights! We live in Maine, and always enjoy being in Washington County, but this trip was special.

Amazing Time in N. Lubec- 5 Stars All Around!
Oh my lord, this place is absolutely gorgeous. I initially booked the stay for my boyfriends birthday. Not only was it worth the price, but it was absolutely worth the 7+ hour drive! By the time we arrived (early evening), we walked the beach quick- and immediately saw seals pop their curious heads out of the water, and with the sunset background I can just say it was magical. The weekend continued to be picturesque from there. We stayed up overnight to enjoy the sunrise- that was the most beautiful experience to date. Carla was super helpful and responsive, we definitely appreciated her! The house was immaculately clean and had all the amenities. Of course I'd be remiss to not mention the cute little town of Lubec itself! What a perfectly quaint town for a beautiful birthday dinner. Please, I recommend this to anyone and everyone- and will hope to enjoy this property again next year. Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Damon & Jamie Martin

Host profile image
We were looking for a summer house on a lake, but when we saw this location it was love at first sight! The first night that we stayed at the cabin we found the guest book and realized that our cabins were the summer getaway for many people already. We decided to continue to share this secluded, beautiful, place with others. Our goal is to provide a place for others to create happy memories.

Why they chose this property

Location! When we first arrived it looked like a moss covered forest and then we saw the wild, rocky beach. It is so quiet and private and the stars are so clear with no light pollution from any large city.

What makes this property unique

The bay is alive and is always changing. The colors, and the light are always different and exciting. Wildlife viewing is one of our favorite pass times. Eagles, seals, blue herons, huge pileated woodpeckers, and the occasional porcupine, can be seen.
