Light and Bright Lubec Retreat. Feast on locally caught lobster and clams!

Come stay in this rocky shore front home on Smalls Cove on Cobscook Bay in Lubec, Maine, the eastern most point in the U.S.A. This is a 2 bedroom newly built single floor home that sleeps four people comfortably, two queen beds, and a full bed from a pull out couch. Complete with washer and dryer, full kitchen, and TV/Cable. Our waterfront house sits on Smalls Cove on Cobscook Bay and is seven miles from downtown Lubec. Featured in Lubec are hiking trails of Cobscook Shores, Quoddy Head State Park and Pike Lands Conservation. Kayaking, bicycling, fresh clams and lobster are also fun filled activities. Summer Keys music, being part of Maine's sculpture trail, and art events are also part of Lubec. Jokes aside, this is Acadia without the crowds!

Maine getaway

Perhaps a little to isolated for us. The junk yard across the road was a little off putting. All in all we still enjoyed our stay, the home was comfortable and certainly well stocked. Have a great view of the cove.

Fantastic Secluded Rental

This is one of the best rentals we've ever stayed in. The location is perfect: secluded but with a beautiful view and bay access but close enough to dining options and scenic drives. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. When we arrived, everything looked clean and orderly, and it smelled clean, too. The owners were very responsive and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The

Rest, relax, and rejuvenate!

We had a wonderful, relaxed experience in a beautiful location. The kitchen was generously supplied with cooking essentials and basic equipment. The beds were very comfortable, and the home layout and furnishings were tasteful and well maintained. Lubec is rich in history and provides easy access to coastal attractions, outstanding food, and remarkable parks and forests. We would recommend this location to anyone looking a quite get away and chance to reconnect with old friends.

Peaceful

Beautiful open kitchen/dining/ living area with large A-Frame ceiling and windows looking out on pines and water below. Outside of town, so it’s very quiet. Everytging we needed for cooking. Happy to find this rental at such a late date.

A quiet and beautiful place on Johnson's Bay

This is a beautiful newer home right on Johnson's bay. We arrived with hurricane Lee and owners Linda and Mike were very flexible with checkin. They also gave us a rebate for that Saturday due to power being out on all of N. Lubec road. Very generous considering we did not ask for one. We highly recommend this house if you're looking for a quiet, well equipped home to explore the bold coast.

Very clean property with a well-appointed kitchen and other necessary provisions. Multiple grill options are also provided as well as an outdoor fire ring with more than ample wood. The bay view is very pretty at high tide with plenty of sealife to see if you take time to look.

This was absolutely wonderful! We had everything we needed, our cabin was spotless, well appointed, lots of room for cooking, eating, relaxing, playing games, as well as chairs for outside, amazing views of the bay, solitude without feeling totally isolated. We had instant hot water- and enough so we could all shower and not run out. It was so quiet - heard a porcupine scrambling through the underbrush one night, lots of bird calls, the rush of the changing tides. So much to see and explore on the shore-even saw a jellyfish swimming around one morning. So close to beaches, lighthouses, boat rides, hiking and fresh lobster. Is there such a thing as a perfect vacation? Yes!! And it's here, at Apple Cove. Thank you SO much!!

Great Getaway Location

Apple Tree Cove Seaside House was a perfect getaway location to relax and explore the local surroundings. We brought our bikes and kayaks, so we were able to see most of the local attractions and hikes. The house allowed for a great balance of staying active while also relaxing. We were able to enjoy lazy mornings with coffee on the platform overlooking the water and come back after exploring to relax and make dinner and have a fire. The home is very comfortable with all the amenities we needed and Lubec is a quaint town with good food and drink options.
